Top 40 Over 40.29: 50 Ways to Be Steve Malkmus
When I started writing this series a number of years ago, I didn’t think I would be including Stephen J. Malkmus in the line up. My last year in college I had 7 roommates, several of whom played Slanted & Enchanted like 75 million times. I burned out on Pavement in the process, mostly through […]

The Core Is Getting Soft.18: SketchCassette
My mother used to tell me she got a weird feeling when she walked into vintage clothing stores in the 1990’s. She said a lot of the clothes on display looked she things was used to seeing in the 1950’s when she was growing up. It was odd for her to see the time of […]

The Marathon and the Sprint
I don’t make best-of lists at the end of the year, but the song I spent the most time listening to in 2019 was B-Movie by Gil Scott Heron: It’s not as well known as his most famous song, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, and I can see why because it’s clear which song […]

Thus, a feeling of joy flooded me when Andy Danser, an excellent guitar craftsman who […]

Top 40 Over 40.27: No Protection
Remixes usually disappoint me. I often imagine it’s because they’re run off quickly without the remixer having an in person musical relationship with the artist they’re remixing. I didn’t really dig either the UNKLE or Dust Brothers remixes that were done of Folk Implosion’s Natural One & Insinuation. When One Part Lullaby came out in […]
