New album by Dirty Three coming out…their first in like 12 years! They are touring Australia now…wonder if they will be able to fit in a short US tour before Warren Ellis tours with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I haven’t seen the Dirty Three since like 97 or so at the Black Cat….but all of a sudden I have the itch
New album by the High Llamas just came out…their first in a real long while
My hot take on the new Pearl Jam is ooh I could definitely listen to this one multiple times and will be fun in concert.    Yes it nostalgic, but many of their new albums left me cold…

If only they would embrace Bandcamp

Someone characterized it as “Tori Amos retreads”


That can’t be good, right?
