Got to interview this amazing trio for The Tonearm 🍃

Family members singing together is a beloved subgenre of mine, so of course I loved having this conversation with Chloe and Lily Holgate of Sibyl

Writing this with Carolyn was the best, and the documentary is incredible (Everyone! Watch it!)

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

❤️❤️❤️

Okay, this is the best idea

That sounds really fun!

Leilani has such vision and was so much fun to talk to.

Kathy Kennedy is an absolute real one.

I really enjoyed this phone call with Silvia and her DIY approach to promo videos and releasing music.

Kirin McElwain: Harsh Tones and 'Youth' | The Tonearm Cellist Kirin McElwain's exploratory album 'Youth' turns toward crystalline feedback, chaotic oscillators, and intentionally harsh tones to express the feelings of desire and shame occupying the same cognitive space.

Kirin McElwain and the Beautiful Harshness of 'Youth':

System was one of my favorite albums of 2025, so I was thrilled to get to talk to Izzy Hagerup (Prewn) for The Tonearm

Oh, this one is such a treat.

This was a really fun conversation to have. And Ben Jones spun around in his desk chair, arms to the sky, at the start and end of it, which felt celebratory and nice.

I really enjoyed getting to chat with Erika Dohi for this. Such an incredible artist.

My latest interview for The Tonearm. And she likes cat videos! We’re the same!!

IT IS!

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

Amen, brother!

I feel like I just need a big freaking STEW right now! Anybody else need a stew? 😋
