Bonkers I say BONKERS day for new releases

which of course means Sabrina Carpenter  PINKSHIFT, THE HIVES, TROMBONE SHORTY, NEW STREET ADVENTURE, GULP to start with

also The Beths, Ron Sexsmith, etc

asking for a friend which raging griftosphere is losing their marbles over the Sabrina cover?

It's been a pretty bonkers month IMO: Superchunk, OSEES, Water from your Eyes, Hunx and his Punx, Jobber, probably another one or two I'm forgetting.

[Julian, Hyperpop SLUTFUCK]

The Sabrina Carpenter is a really, really solid follow-up to one of the best pop LPs in years.

the Gulp record is yet another SFA side project this time with bassist Guto Pryce and his wife Lindsey Leven.

This is likely a  better early morning listening then PINKSHIFT and THE HIVES as they describe it as "Garage Space Pop" definitely nice lowkey synth pop not unlike early St. Etienne

My kid is "hearing very mixed reviews" on this one.

Who are we going to listen to about what sex-positive, female twenty-somethings listen to: your daughter or Uncle Julian?

Temporary secretary sounds so much like a Squeeze song! Hilarious

a Squeeze song! Hilarious

there's a band that has an incredible cannon, but they don't get lauded much at all.  Is it that the didn't influence anyone? Was it their 80s era?
I saw them headline a show at Nassau Coliseum and a few years later at the stone balloon in Delaware (slightly smaller than the black cat) and don't even think the filled the place. I thought the show at the club only a few years ago was fantastic

New order - waiting for the sirens call


I wrote this album off initially but over the years it’s become a favorite….now I like it more than get ready, and of course the putrid republic …with better sequencing it could have been a classic album…they had like 10 more songs from these sessions 8 of which are on lost sirens…Hellbent for example is a banger….

It’s a weird album culled from sessions with four different producers including big ones they had not worked with likw Stephen Street (smiths), John Leckie (roses)!!!!

It’s pretty clear they like Stuart Price best cause they used him on Music Complete and Stephen Street least cause the Lost Sirens stuff I think is mostly his… I forget what the autobiographical stuff from Sumner, Hooky and Morris says. And really Hooky does some great stuff on this album…stretches a bit. God I love this band. If they come back to the US I gotta follow them a bit
