The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

I lived in Napoli and spent a lot of time around the south, happy to give recs, especially off the beaten path, if yall are interested

There are great Magna Grecia era Greek ruins in southern Italy, eg Paestum, Velia, Siracusa, Agrigento, Taormina, well worth a visit and in better condition than most anything in Greece proper. Highly recommended

We really need to stop congratulating the rich and famous for vaguely gesturing towards the bare minimum just bc they see which way the wind is blowing.

OUT OF THE BOX #26
Music For Black Holes (2016)

It was kind of a thing in the 2000s and 2010s. Some of the biggest pop artists are Canadian. But a Québécois breakthrough like this is very unusual

Throw up your triangles for microtonal rock stars and masters of the internet Angine de Poitrine An interview with Angine de Poitrine, the mysterious musicians from Saguenay, ahead of the launch of their new album Vol. II on April 3.

And they’re not from Montreal either. Cult did an interview with them recently cultmtl.com/2026/04/thro...

They’re not French, they’re from Quebec.

The Doomed Bird of Providence ~ Meteoric Heralds of Danger It’s been a long time since we reviewed an album by The Doomed Bird of Providence ~ nine years, to be exact.  Burrowed Into The Soft Sky represented the ensemble’s transition from vocal…

The very presence of orchestral elements –brass, woodwinds, strings –elevates the ensemble over the typical post-rock band as it provides more options for a grander, wider sound.

[Extreme 'Homer Simpson is a snitch' whispering voice]: Ak'Chamel is Angina De Poutine for cool people. Still House Plants is Geese for cool people. Pass it on!

A nothingburger of an article, which is a shame since I'd love to affirm my genuine dislike for Geese with some data

her intention was very clearly never about authenticity

The Fanfare Around Geese Actually Was a Psyop The Brooklyn band Geese was labeled an “industry plant” by those who questioned its sudden ubiquity. Maybe it was.

Turned out dinkety-dink-dink hadn't even fucking started.

Volunteers turn a fan's recordings of 10,000 concerts into an online treasure trove In 1989, an up-and-coming rock band from Washington called Nirvana played in Chicago for the first time at a club called Dreamerz

Congrats to my old friend Aadam Jacobs, deservingly receiving international recognition from numerous press sites for creating probably the most important live music archive of the past 30 years, simply by being Aadam.
