Bill Orcutt’s Palilalia Records has grown into a home for guitar outliers including Shane Parish, Ava Mendoza, Chuck Roth and Cyrus Pireh, culminating in the glorious overload of Four Louies Live. During the pandemic, guitarist Kris Gruda spent his breaks from a job at a North Carolina kombucha factory sitting in his car with a travel guitar. He’d prop up his phone and fiddle with jazz standards, Coltrane and Ornette Coleman tunes, improvs, tiny works, most barely a minute lon...

Sovereign Glory #833: Living room house and techno music from rRoxymore, T. Brinkmann, DJ Koze, Hawtin & Gonzales, James Devane, Robert Hood and more.
Promotional poster for the July 12 episode of Sovereign Glory. A vintage photograph of a stately hotel dominates the center, overlaid with the arched title "Sovereign Glory." Text across the image reads: "Disc Jockey Randall Roberts," "Sundays 5–7 AM CST," and "Spend Quality Time With Jazz, Electronic, Ambient & Other Music." A small airplane appears in the sky at upper right, while a decorative oval emblem sits near the bottom of the building. The image is framed by a lavender border with red stars in each corner. Along the top, blue text announces: "July 12 episode: Lots of brilliant HOUSE MUSIC." Along the bottom: "Stream: CRSTL.FM • Archive: Mixcloud." Promotional graphic for the Sovereign Glory playlist for July 12, 2026. Across the top, large serif lettering reads "Sovereign Glory Playlist for July 12, 2026," with the subtitle "Comfortable House and Techno Music." Beneath is a complete playlist beginning with The Langley School Music Project's "Rhiannon," followed by Four Tet's Wingdings pseudonym, Carl Finlow, Thomas Brinkmann, The Soft Pink Truth, Luomo, Robert Hood, Anna Kost, Pan Sonic, SND, Lifted, Leo, Third Person, MGMT, μ-Ziq, Lusine, DJ Koze, Richie Hawtin, James Devane, rRoxymore, Triola and Pole. The background resembles aged parchment with a watercolor illustration of two ornate upholstered chairs flanking a soft pink sofa. At the bottom, text reads: "Disc Jockey: Randall Roberts" and "Archived at Mixcloud."

Sovereign Glory, Sunday morning. Hour One: UK Jazz. Hour Two: Chicago Jazz. Playlist:
A graphic poster styled like a vintage automotive diagnostic advertisement. At center, a gold 1970s-era sedan sits on a service bay floor between two large red diagnostic machines while a technician in a blue shop coat stands at right holding a clipboard. Above the car, a large blue-and-red block logo reads “Sovereign Glory Diagnostic Service,” with “June 21” and “5–7 AM” below. Vertical text along the support columns references CRSTL.FM and a list of genres including electronic, experimental, ambient, jazz, rock, roots and funk. Across the lower middle, white text identifies “Disc Jockey Randall Roberts.” The bottom section resembles highway signage, promoting a two-hour program: “Recent Jazz London” on the left, “Recent Jazz Chicago” on the right and “Sunday CRSTL.FM Mixcloud VS.” in the center. The palette combines muted greens and grays with bright red, blue and yellow accents, creating a retro-modern broadcast design A dark, neon-outline version of the same promotional graphic. The automobile service center scene has been transformed into glowing edge-detected lines against a black background, with the gold car, diagnostic equipment and technician rendered in luminous outlines. The “Sovereign Glory Diagnostic Service” title remains prominent at top, while turquoise text across the center lists the program playlist. The first hour focuses on contemporary London jazz and adjacent artists, including Tara Clerkin Trio, DARGZ, Nubya Garcia, Ezra Collective, The Comet Is Coming, Tom Skinner, Yussef Dayes, Theon Cross, Alfa Mist, Yaz Ahmed, Nala Sinephro, Greg Foat and Tempelhof & Gigi Masin. The second hour highlights Chicago artists such as Bitchin Bajas, Natural Information Society, Chicago Underground Quartet, Chicago Odense Ensemble, Sam Prekop, Ben LaMar Gay, Anteloper, Angel Bat Dawid, Tortoise, Makaya McCraven, Daniel Villarreal and Isotope 217. Along the bottom, “Disc Jockey Randall Roberts” appears above signage reading “Recent Jazz London” and “Recent Jazz Chicago,” framing the London-versus-Chicago theme of the broadcast.

This vintage matchbook cover makes me want to drop everything to open a third-space spot called Bar Twinkle Star.
Vintage Japanese matchbook cover for Twinkle Star Bar in Sasebo. A stylized red silhouette of a woman in a long flowing gown stands against a pale turquoise background, holding a cocktail glass. Yellow stars are scattered around her, while the words “TWINKLE STAR BAR” curve overhead in blue lettering. Along the bottom of the dress appears the location text, “10 Minato-cho, Sasebo.” The design uses bold, simple shapes and a mid-century nightclub aesthetic.
