2025
Buster Poindexter's tuxedo lounge act covering Louis Armstrong. Hal Blaine's 1967 Moog pioneer album. Tacoma garage rock withdrawn from stores, now a rare collectible. Irish duets about hometown awkwardness. Ella Fitzgerald blocking her own song's reissue until death. Jim White's 7-minute Southern Gothic Greyhound station lament. Ethereal wave "like the Cocteaus if the medication had ever worked." Rumba flamenco, psychedelic percussion, and Trinidad calypso. No hygge without the bleak midwinter.
