I ranked every Sturgill Simpson album, as it is my destiny to do. Big time catalog for me personally!

Delightful. And the "Waylon Jennings' Gonads People" dig is just perfection for all the obvs reasons.

On the latest edition of Catalog Club: Ramones (1976-1984), I talked about their most complete album (and also went on a long tangent about Cheap Trick).

I wrote about MUTINY AFTER MIDNIGHT, aka Sturgill Simpson's MIDNITE VULTURES, an album I love even when it makes me cringe.

I wrote about Paul McCartney, the recent doc about him, why he (still) cares about how he's perceived, and why some classic rock legacies go up (Fleetwood Mac) and others go down (Eric Clapton) like stocks.

This month's Catalog Club series on the Ramones begins today with the self-titled debut, which turns 50 this spring. My challenge: Can a music critic in 2026 actually say something original about this band?

I wrote about Harry Styles and the crew of 2020s interchangeable and painfully boring pop hunks he's inspired, from Benson Boone to Role Model to Sombr to Yungblud to Alex Warren.

Oh man, this brings back memories. (Upping the snark a couple notches was an AVC editor's job back then, lol.)

As an addendum to my series this month on Grizzly Bear, I chatted with Daniel Rossen for 80 mins about each of their records and their place in the indie rock world of the aughts and 2010s. His candor is v. illuminating and entertaining, to say the least!

My Catalog Club series on Grizzly Bear concludes with PAINTED RUINS, the underrated (for now?) swan song that feels like the Steely Dan's GAUCHO of aughts-era indie.

I wrote about the landmark indie-rock album CARDINAL by Pinegrove, which I was inspired to revisit by @chrisdeville.bsky.social. Though I have a pretty different take on the album and their somewhat cursed career arc.

I also wrote about Ovven's GNAWING AT THE CORD, an album multiple people said I would love and they were right. Probably my fave LP of early 2026.

I’ve had “Old Friends” stuck in my head since reading that @chrisdeville.bsky.social piece and no, not mad about it at all. Then Hyden nails it as usual.
