whether or not you drink Cindy Lee's kool-aid, their album subverts nearly every expectation of a modern album rollout: an abundance of tracks, a suggested donation, no label, zero streamers

if this is a first indication of a collective return to the underground, i'm here for it

Jesse Locke 🇵🇸 Just listened to this one for the first time recently. So good: mixcloud.com/RevolutionRock…

I’m a Pat Flegelologist in the same way people are about Bob Dylan

Jesse Locke 🇵🇸 Mads/Silver Tank Ya Pat is definitely going to keep making music, but this might be the end of Cindy Lee?

Keep coming back to this one. Amazing late 70s archival release on Black Truffle by synth pioneer Richard Teitelbaum. One of the most magnetic things I’ve heard this year.

Richard Teitelbaum - Asparagus (1978/2024)

Honestly relatable. All I ever do is brick at festivals. Except after I play, i notice the awesome trays of seared salmon backstage, and get told I don't have security clearance to the St. Vincent and/or Run The Jewels catering area.

when i talk about a band’s ’visual identity’ im not just saying hey hire a designer who makes trendy work. there should always be a sprinkle of that but i mean establish who you are as a band in a visual sense. take a look at these husker du records

Even when they’re doing baggy Suede still sound like Suede somehow? youtu.be/5xFAWAgDCFE?si…

What does “collapse” look like?

A worsening of conditions we already see— decline in product safety, dwindling labor protections, crumbling infrastructure & transportation, lower quality of life & reduced lifespans, prices skyrocketing, less educated society, govt neglect, etc
