Why is it, that I find Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) by The Rolling Stones, to be profoundly awesome?

Danny Goffey - Bryan Moone's Discopunk

Latest Supergrass member solo record.. many catchy tunes kinda of Britpop meets early new funky new wave… hearing shades of Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club influences on some of them.

https://ginabirch.bandcamp.com/album/i-play-my-bass-loud

a case of when the review peaked my interested in to listening to it… this is the first solo album for the 68 year bass player for the Raincoats, produced by Youth it's got the fun dubby sound to it

Going on the Bandcamp wishlist

About three months after cutting his seminal Meets the Rhythm Section in January 1957, Art went in and cut another record for an audiophile label which put the session out on a very limited basis on reel to reel in nascent stereo. So not many heard it until the Japanese reissued it in 1975 (pictured) and then Blue Note finally gave it an American LP release in 1980 as Alpha Omega.

Shortly after this session Pepper pulled one of his many disappearing acts and went to jail.  His sessions in the late 50s are few and far between. He was a heroin junkie pretty much his entire adult life until his body gave out.

This record (augmented by the Japanese with another lp of previously unissued remainders from the same sessions) is a delight.

The Lathums - From Nothing To A Little Bit More

It's out today and quite Snazzy, have not ordered a physical copy as well shipping is brutal from the UK. Hopefully, they'll drop a deluxe digital version to help it chart I can pony up for.

Roy Acuff - Sixteen Chickens And A Tambourine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzwGStDruL8

Which of course got me thinking if this where the Three O'Clock got the name of their album Sixteen Tambourines, they got back me to me real quick on that one… It came from their producer Earle Mankey, who has quite the resume of producing LA based bands..

Glad this is finally out on vinyl even if it’s a flat transfer.

Tchotchke - Tchotchke

https://tchotchke.bandcamp.com/album/tchotchke

heard via James Skelly of the The Coral, dude has an amazing ear… this NY based female trio offer an interesting twist on the girl group sound. produced by the Lemon Twigs which one should have made my top albums from last year but now a definite fav…

anyways if anyone is going to the upcoming King Tuff show, they are playing with him..

also, thanks for the tip on the King Tuff album very much in my wheelhouse.

Caroline Polachek has the best album of 2023 so far and it ain't even close.

Hello Mary - Hello Mary on Frenchkiss Records

Feeling nostalgic for the early 90s, specifically Veruca Salt and Belly?  Then check out this debut by a NYC trio, lots of noisy guitars, soaring harmonies, pounding rhythm section.  Produced by Bryce Goggin who has produced/engineered many a noisy guitar over the decades… including Pavement, Dino Jr, Lemonheads, Spacehog, etc

lifted from Qobuz review

They've already been praised by Belly's Tanya Donelly and Luna's Britta Phillips for their big, dark grunge guitars and bittersweet harmonies.

weirdly the whole album isn't on Bandcamp, just all the singles leading up to it..

Best of the Beta Band

I got into these guys pretty early thanks to a recommendation from that wonderful NYC store, Other Music.

Steve Mason has a new album coming out; they say it’s real good.
