Frame #1580 from E68 Mingas Folly

all of the AS + Spike releases are great (even the recent reunion) in case you haven’t investigated. Shady Tree and Tidal Blues are my personal favorites. Maybe they’ll be vinylized some day.

it’s been a fixture in my car for years, I know that @glenndonaldson.bsky.social is a big fan as well

Frame #3787 from 60sE27 a hair-raising adventure

Hugo Randulv LP on Discreet Music

Extending some shine to this unassuming beauty by Hugo Randulv, courtesy of Discreet Music. Cello drones and guitar feedback like you’ve never heard ‘em. Great stuff.

The thing about Cracker Barrel is that humans in Gaza are being deliberately starved to death by Israel.

Zaheer Gulamhusein LP on Men Scryfa label, titled All I Knew

Men Scryfa does it again

Helen Mirra’s EP, Along Below

Any of y’all familiar with Helen Mirra’s other recordings? This EP is good but I have a feeling the subsequent stuff might be stronger.

Now playing on Upside Down: "Episode III" by Svitlana Nianio
