Here's a video of Squirrel Bait performing "Sun God" on May 8, 1985, opening for Hüsker Dü at the Jockey Club in Newport, KY. One of the most fun evenings of my life. The video was shot by Dave Hintz with restoration by Lance Bangs. @dragcityrecords youtube.com/watch?v=Oukbq4…

Michael Snow - Chords, 1974.

It's release day for the repressings of both Squirrel Bait records! Couldn't be more grateful to the folks at Drag City for shepherding these back into print. We really were children then. (Photo by Gail Butensky of Squirrel Bait at the Cat Club, NYC, July 1986.) @dragcityrecords

Shigeru Suzuki rehearsing 'Suna no Onna (砂の女)' with Haruomi Hosono & Tin Pan Alley, 1975. The core of what would become Japan's defining city pop sound, still taking shape in the room.

This week on Oh! Brother, we’re joined by Brian Turner (brianturnershow.com). Brian talks about discovering The Fall in small-town Pennsylvania, catching the band live in the US, and how that fascination grew into radio specials, archive digging and sleeve-note work. (+)

@ColinDMello How can they sell off something they don’t own? Do better. x.com/steffanwatkins…

The Ford government says the decision to quickly sell off a $28.5 million private aircraft, purchased by taxpayers for the premier’s primary use, was made after Progressive Conservative MPPs received a flood of irate messages from voters. globalnews.ca/news/11808680/… #onpoli

Paul Klee -Tree of life

“Birdland” by Weather Report was released as a single 49 years ago today.

modern pop stars try to incorporate signifiers of the dance floor / disco / electro in their music - your Dua Lipas, your Jessie Wares - but it’s couched in the production aesthetic of like “would sound ok on iPhone speaker.” love to hear pop mixed like this. sounds like New Beat

@LWaler IGNORE lady hitting a home run as usual lol

Good. Fix 24 Sussex. Buy a jet provincially. Replace the Challenger federally. Our leaders need to be treated like leaders with the security, mobility, and accessibility that befits the office. It’s a private jet for the use of the Premier. Not a jet for the private use of the Premier. I’m guessing OPP and remote communities across Ontario have been wondering what took so long.

@paytonmatting I’d start at Real New Fall LP as the base station, then jump back a few LPs, then forward, repeat …

So if I want to start delving into the discography of The Fall do I just start at the beginning? Where do I dive in? What do I do?

Arthur Russell World of Echo, music like that STILL doesn’t exist.

Three of its new songs were included in a live set recorded in France for the Seattle public radio station KEXP, which has drawn more than six million YouTube views and spurred a jovial, can-you-top-this comments section. nytimes.com/2026/04/03/art…
