In Bridgeport tonight, Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts played their first concert in over a year. But first Young came out during Willie Nelson’s set, and the two did “Are There Any More Real Cowboys?,” their duet from 1985, the year they co-founded Farm Aid. They’ll both play the ‘26 edition on Sat.

Earlier this year, Athens musician @shaneparish.bsky.social released 'Autechre Guitar.’

It’s a collection that, as the title suggests, reimagines tracks by the legendary IDM duo for acoustic guitar.

Parish brought the album to Making Time ∞ and spoke with @tddvsss.bsky.social after his set.

Though he did participate in a seemingly spontaneous noise jam at an Athens vintage market in 2023, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound’s Bradford Cox has stayed out of the public eye this decade. Today, he returned to the stage with all new material at Philly’s Making Time ∞ – his first show in seven years.

Late last night at Making Time ∞, I randomly ran into ducksltd.bsky.social who are not playing here but were down to check out the whispery, glitchy IDM-folk sensation ear

In my old apt building, the garage stored 36 Corvettes Peter Max bought in 1990 off a guy who won them in a VH-1 sweepstakes. One for every year from 1953 to 1989. His plan was to paint them in psychedelic styles but he got busy so they just lived in Brooklyn, collecting dust for many years. R.I.P.

Eight days before 'Nevermind' — 35 years ago today — Nirvana played an intimate show at Seattle's Beehive Records.

@nabilayers.bsky.social was there, reveling in the music, getting his records signed. Today he looks back on Nirvana's last night as a regular band:
Nirvana's Last Night As A Regular Band
In the summer of 1991, I was a 19-year-old college kid who couldn’t stop thinking about the new songs I’d heard Nirvana perform live: “Breed,” with its driving power; the Beatlesque “Drain You”; and e...

I went to the Norwegian Consulate in Manhattan, where all Norwegian musicians live when they play Bowery Ballroom (someone fact check that), to interview Bergen-born singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche.

I practiced saying [ˈsɔndrə ˈlærkə] before we spoke and still got it wrong.

Yo La Tengo’s ‘I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass’ came out 20 years ago today. Which means it’s been 20 years since Matador bought a TerraPass to offset our flyaway from Manhattan to Jersey City (but not back). It was not eco-friendly and we wouldn’t do it now. But it was a great show.

*Aerosmith had done something like this earlier, but it was exclusive to CompuServe subscribers, so you can pretend it didn’t happen
Thirty years ago today, David Bowie became the first major artist to release a new song exclusively on the internet. “Telling Lies,” a preview of his album ‘Earthling,’ premiered on Sept. 11, 1996 with A Guy Called Gerald’s Paradox Mix…

This inspired me to check the market on their 2021 NFTs. Of the four “Golden Tickets” — entitling owner to four front-row seats at every KoL tour for life — one sold for 89 ETH ($162k at the time). A Golden Ticket on OpenSea now has a best offer of 74¢. Are you all satisfied with your KoL NFTs?

Yesterday I went to the Norwegian Consulate to interview Sondre Lerche. Before we started, he randomly brought up Tom’s Alternative Number Ones review of Dishwalla’s “Counting Blue Cars.” 😂 Happy birthday @tombreihan.bsky.social! (It’s a 2.)

One week ago, we were delighted by the surprise, under-the-radar release of ‘Temptation To Exist,’ a jazz noir album by the enigmatic Andrew W.K. For #fbf, and its imminent 25th (!) anniversary, here’s the party maestro’s debut single performed live on solo piano for Stereogum Sessions back in 2018.

in which I talk about an album funded by the groupon fortune

also, the stella lefty album
The pile-on over "Boston" singer Stella Lefty copying Noah Kahan, having a billionaire dad, and shifting to country music is a bit overblown, but her album is still a perplexing personality vacuum.

Our review, plus the best new pop tracks of the month:

On Friday, Stereogum presented a release show for Wild Pink’s ‘Still Coming Down.’ It was awesome. But was it the best Wild Pink album release show ever? Before the band took the stage, Stereogum Release Show Correspondent Rachel Brown sat down with Wild Pink’s John Ross to size up the competition.
