Not sure when "vibe" became a verb, but we're vibing now. September's "What I'm Listening To" playlist is particularly sweet. Click below to listen!

Gotta love a good chaotic meditation. The August playlist is 40% pure pop, 40% modern jazz, 40% vibes, and 99.44% pure energy. Perfect for a labor-free Labor Day.

Primavera Sound Barcelona 2025 Day 3. Le sigh… all good things must end. LCD Soundsystem, Dehd, Turnstile, and Black Country New Road all killed it, plus Chappell! It was great to see band members and critics in the audience, geeking out to the same stuff I was watching. Hasta la vista, Barcelona!

Primavera Sound Barcelona 2025 Day 2. Stereolab, Wolf Alice, Sabrina Carpenter, Wet Leg, Beach House, feeble little horse… another packed day! But the highlight may have been this lovely Waxahatchee/MJ Lenderman song that gets me every time.

Primavera Sound Barcelona 2025 Day 1. From some tiny, intimate stages to one of the biggest crowds I’ve ever seen, this is a pretty fun fest. Happy Birthday, Grace (and me too, if I’m honest)! Highlights: Kali Malone, Dame Area, julie, FKA twigs, Djrum, Idles, and of course, Charli

Nick Cave @ Barclay’s Thursday night. If Nick is town, chances are we’ll be there for the Rolling Goth Spiritual Revival. Last night was particularly epic, a 2-1/2 hour career retrospective. The man’s got a lot of tunes.

Big Ears Festival 2025. On Day Four, my final day, the shows were all over the map, from Mabe Fratti’s heavy cello to múm’s wispy electronics. Other highlights: Amaro Freitas, Kahil El’Zabar, and Magic Tuber Stringband. Great festival this year!

Big Ears Festival 2025. The heart of my lineup was up on Day Three, from heavy-hitting Maruja and clipping. to the awesome drone of BEAK> and Lankum. Still some time for side trips!

Big Ears Festival 2025. A lot heavier on jazz and blues/funk on Day Two, headlined by the great Jeff Parker ETA IVtet and Immanuel Wilkins, plus Still House Plants, Swamp Dogg, Ambrose Akinmusire, even Taj Mahal and more!

Big Ears Festival 2025. Day One was an ethereal, drone-heavy day for me, featuring DARKSIDE, Beth Gibbons’ first US solo show, and Immersion, with Colin Newman from Wire. Plus Rich Ruth, Marissa Nadler, and SUSS! Great stuff, can’t wait for more!

The March Playlist. From the bitter solitude of February into the warmth of these tracks, all of which I find healing in their own ways. Enjoy!

Cleo Sol @ Radio City last night. What a treat to get to see her first NYC show (maybe her first US show?)! Tears were shed, hips were swayed, love was felt. ❤️ #cleosol #livemusicnyc #sault #neosoul

Spirit Of The Beehive, Kassie Krut, and Polo Perks at Warsaw. Another fine night of the new New Wave! Or is this Lucid Dream Pop? Either way, I really love the quick-cutting bliss, mope, and groove of SotB, and KK is a perfect pairing!

A bitter cold winter calls for a bitter cold winter playlist. Let the wind hit you in the face a little more, it's gonna do it anyway. Enjoy the February tracks!
