New Slowdive! I've been looking forward to this one. So far it's great!

New album by The Armed. This has more of a rock sound then their previous works which had this interesting blend of hardcore and noise pop. Honestly I didn't love their previous works that much but they were always unique so I wanted to check this out. Although it's not as unique I'm finding myself really enjoying this. It just sounds very well put together if that makes any sense. Song whip below!

Youth Lagoon/Trevor Powers has a really interesting and unique sound that's kinda hard to describe. Here is Youth Lagoon performing Rabbit from their most recent album Heaven is a Junkyard.

Full performance here.

I love this cover. Casey Crescenzo has an awesome voice.

Another record released today that I'm enjoying. This is Margaret Glaspy's third album but the first I've heard from her. I'd describe it as bluesy alternative. Great vocals and lyrics. And I love the details from the bass and drums throughout the album. Songwhip below!

I'm enjoying this debut album from Irish group Naked Lungs. It's like a darker doomier Fontaines DC.

Just came across this British post-punk group on YouTube. I love their energy. It looks like they released their debut EP last year. Hopefully we get more from them soon!

This is from NPRs tiny desk series home edition during covid times. This performance by Men I Trust is perfect for just chilling out at the end of the day. Relax and enjoy!

Oh yes I agree. Hot Fuzz is pretty similar in style. Love that one too

The harp is an underutilized instrument in my opinion. Here's some "Harp Rock" from singer/harpist Mikaela Davis.

Here's an album I've been enjoying from Glasgow sibling duo comfort released a few months ago. I'd describe it as punk with experimental electronic sounds and witty social commentary. Songwhip below. Enjoy!

For me I feel like reddit began declining when Victoria was fired in 2015.

I'm always amazed by Robert Plant when I watch old Zeppelin videos

I feel this way about lady gaga. Not really a fan of her but her voice is excellent

I'm really liking this debut by Australia's Rin McArdle. This actually came out last week but I'm calling it fresh anyways. She's friends with Courtney Barnett so you know it'll be good. Songwhip link and an NME article about her below.

I was reminded of this by the Smoko post. However this cover showcases Genesis Owusu more than it does The Chats. Enjoy!

Another benefit of base 12 is that you can count to 12 easily with one hand by using your thumb to count each of the 3 segments on your 4 fingers.

I learned that on that other website prior to the great migration and it blew my mind then.

I love both Chicago style and Detroit style and they are not the same thing. Detroit style has a lot of breadiness to the crust where Chicago is like a denser crust. And detroit is typically rectangular with toppings all the way to the edge. There isn't really a proper crust to grab.

I've had Buddy's pizza when visiting the Detroit area and I thought it was really good.

I have a Jet's near me and it's one my favorites to get takeout from.

"Every path is the right path. Everything could've been anything else. And it would have just as much meaning."

From the movie Mr. Nobody. It's a good thought provoking movie despite Jared Leto.

I had no idea their two best albums were produced by Danger Mouse. Very cool.

My favorite track is probably Little Black Submarine.
