Also talked about the Judee Sill doc, which is in theaters as well as VOD starting today and is very much worth your time!

Big New Indiecast! Ian Cohen and I talk about diss tracks, Coachella's slump, early AOTY candidates (including the great Cindy Lee LP), the yay-or-nay-ness of Khruangbin, and my ignorance of Our Lady Peace. art19.com/shows/indiecast

Every Josh Brolin scene is a tour de force.

Patio Hall Of Fame Album.

Evening viewing recommendation? On Criterion Channel, watch SORCERER (1977)! William Friedkin takes Henri-Georges Clouzot’s classic palm-sweater THE WAGES OF FEAR and transforms it into a blood-and-guts opera of existential delirium. bit.ly/4cBFH5v

Coolest guys playing the coolest song

I’ve waited years to interview Mark Knopfler, my sultan of swing vulture.com/article/mark-k…

Deeply into the Cindy Lee record. Definitely one of 2024's true sleepers. It's like a 32-track greatest hits album for the coolest 90s indie band that never existed. Also love that it's available only on YouTube and this janky Geocities site that Twitter won't let me post lol.

High school music taste

There's a song on the new Pearl Jam album that revisits their anthemic early 90s sound so effectively that it seems insane that it wasn't released as the lead single.
