DITCH SPOTIFY WRAPPED

I try not to be a hater but honestly this shit is getting on my nerves! I see the same five artists on almost everyone's top five. Nothing wrong with mainstream, but if there's a point to all of this exhibitionism it's probably be to find new music that you might not discover on your own (though that's contradictory to the algorithm... which is a different conversation altogether). Not even to mention that less and less people are using Spotify, which is likely for the best. Instead of posting your Spotify wrapped this year rant about some music that you've really been loving. Maybe it's under the radar, maybe it's not; so long as you love it spread the joy. These are my 2024 AOTY’s: Cindy Lee’s Diamond Jubilee; MJ Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks; Jessica Pratt’s Here in the Pitch; English Teacher’s This Could Be Texas; Waxahatchee’s Tiger’s Blood; Shellac’s To All Trains; Mount Eerie’s Night Palace; Vampire Weekend’s Only God Was Above Us; Geordie Greep’s The New Sound; Mk.gee’s Two Star and the Dream Police Honorable mentions: Charli XCX’s Brat; Adrienne Lenker’s Bright Future; Chief Keef’s Almighty So 2; A Country Western’s Life on the Lawn; Courting’s New Last Name; Hurray For The Riff Raff’s The Past Is Still Alive; The Smile’s Wall of Eyes; Kim Gordon’s The Collective; JPEGMAFIA’s I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU Cheers 'n happy listening 🍻

When your new book is finally available for preorder ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

Unwound

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s. So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it: “Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.” R.I.P. Vern Rumsey. This is their finest song, from their finest album. I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
