FACS at TV Eye Photos and Writing by Kyle Ostrander Wednesday night was unusually cold for April in NYC. With temperatures dropping below 40 degrees fahrenheit, almost everyone on the street was dressed in winter…

"...the sheer fullness of the sound would make you imagine there must be dozens of members on stage."

Seriously. Go see FACS if they come to your sleepy little town. One of the best bands on the planet. @troubleinmind.bsky.social

Call Congress for our libraries. Show up for our libraries. American library association.

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

THE TUBS uit Wales heeft een LP met sprankelende licht jangly indiepoprock uit het boekje gemaakt. Op het onvolprezen Trouble In Mind label (jaja, dat "onvolprezen" wordt vaak te makkelijk gebrukt, maar in dit geval is het 🎯) #NP #NieuwePlaatjes #awesomeness

New Welsh music you may have missed in March, from Jeff Lynne jazz to male voice choir sound collage March's Welsh reviews zigzag from jazz to jungle, r’n’b, hip-hop , powerviolence, black metal, psych, noiserock, janglepop and downtempo.

"Williams hits his lyrical stride.. bouncing between universally applicable sentiment and recollections of intense specificity."

The Tubs, 'Cotton Crown' (Trouble In Mind, 2025) - Indienauta The Tubs regresan con 'Cotton Crown', un estupendo segundo trabajo en el que su indie-rock vira un poco más al pop.

The Tubs no decepcionan en ‘Cotton Crown’, un estupendo segundo trabajo en el que su indie-rock se acerca de la mejor forma posible a clásicos como R.E.M. o Hüsker Dü. Y lo hacen con una personalidad propia. Edita @troubleinmind.bsky.social - www.indienauta.com/the-tubs-cot...

NEW: AOC in Vegas.

Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥

“If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

"The Tubs toss listeners against all sides of the pub until the hooks have been pounded into the brain and we all leave giddy and glad for the mental thumping."
