On Sharing Music With You.

What do you feel when I share music with you? Is it a neurological response to immediately feel nervous about how I’m going to follow up with you and see if you checked it out? Do you feel something about yourself, that somehow the song I’ve sent you somehow represents…

2022 Albums of the Year; 10–1.

10. Vein.fm — This World Is Going to Ruin You White-Knuckled Terror This is an album that cranks up every violent and punishing dial as far as it can go. It covers everything meaningful in gasoline and spits a match onto the pile. It sounds like the record is written…

2022 Albums of the Year; 20–11.

20. Ethel Cain — Preacher’s Daughter All Bared This is such a sonic record. It sits somewhere in the concentric sound designs of Lana Del Rey, Lingua Ignota and Emma Ruth Rundle, boasting the same exposed-skin-revelations of Grouper. Of course it, too, is her own thing entirely. The instruments on…

2022 Albums of the Year; 30–21.

30. Soul Blind — Feel It All Around Grunge This record rules. They released a little 3 track EP that boded well, and then dropped this absolute murkfest of grunge and sludge. This one reminds me of the first time I went back and listened to Silverchair after years of…

2022 Albums of the Year; 40–31.

40. Circa Survive — A Dream About Death EP Ambient Indie Similar to The Mars Volta, as you’ll read later, I’ve always cited Circa Survive as a favorite band, even though realistically I’ve only liked 2 of their records, and the multiple times I’ve seen them live have had me…

2022 Albums of the Year: 50–41.

50. Frontières — Regret EP Hardcore I typically place a lot of indie records on these lists, but those are mostly ones that I want to listen to while I’m alone and brooding, deeply reckoning with What to Create and How I’ve Lived, etc. A record like this is one…

2022 Albums of the Year: The Honorable Mentions.

In 2017, I wrote a list of my top 100 records that were released that year. It was my first time trying to string together a list of any sort that included some reactions, some blurbs, all sorted out in a blog-style format. Before that, I was posting a photo…

I Read ‘This Is How You Lose the Time War’ by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.

I have built a reading regimen that has lasted since the beginning of the pandemic. Every day, I’ll wake up and read for an hour until I get through whatever book I have. That took me through several months with Infinite Jest, and books of similar girth but knowing that…

Great Songs From Q3 2022.

(Spotify) || (Apple Music) || (YouTube) Beach Bunny — Weeds Over their past two records, Beach Bunny have impressed me one song after the next. They give such a good and airy feeling through the lightly applied vocals alongsie the metered and delicately grungy guitars. This album was such…

I Read Gabrielle Zevin’s ‘Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow’.

I think a lot about friendship. Truly, outside of my family in my home, the narrative of my friendships is the thing I think about the most. More than work, more than responsibilities, more than hobbies, more than music. I think about the branching timelines of all of the friendships…
