…and my thirteen year old is way into the new Motionless in White.

I Luv the 90’s

Dishwalla is back after a dozen year long hiatus. New album is called Juniper Road, it’s their fifth.

There was a time when At the Drive-in seemed like the most important band on the planet. No new stuff in the last, oh 12 years or so, until now.

Cincinnati’s most generous Gentlemen, The Afghan Whigs return with their second reunion record, In Spades. It’s supposed to be very good.

Miscy

You guys know I love Amanda Palmer, so if she’s not My Recommendation for the week there must be something really special coming up.

More Mac DeMarco.

Kasabian.

And Flobots.

My Recommendation

Those in the know know that the most anticipated release of the week is from shoegaze pioneers Slowdive, who’ve been dormant for twenty five years.
