I had a blast reviewing the psych-addled new Jack White LP over at Pitchfork. A genuine corker! https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/jack-white-frozen-charlotte/10 Jul 2026 18:01 +0000at://did:plc:4dm4val52snkcppjntvwlok3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqcq5weks22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/paranoiacs.bsky.social/post/3mqabl56rok2oAlways happy for Billy Yule content!

Hard enough to confirm that Steve Winwood's 'Arc Of The Diver' really is a killer LP, and that Bob Seger recorded an absolutely raging, brilliant version of Lou Reed's 'Busload Of Faith'. Procrastination is a kind of prayer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qspn5RycU_Q&list=RDqspn5RycU_Q&start_radio=102 Jul 2026 01:48 +0000at://did:plc:4dm4val52snkcppjntvwlok3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpmw22ay4k2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/paranoiacs.bsky.social/post/3mphx6xl7tk2sA song cycle of endless emotional dislocations, the rudderless marriage at the center of Bob Dylan's 'Blood On The Tracks' serves as a central metaphor for a generation of Americans who achieved escape velocity but wound up nowhere at all. The highway is for gamblers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NfDUn4Cy4I&list=PLs-kSlFHGBGUd0d_513ta7EwBMBKgG_Hs30 Jun 2026 02:25 +0000at://did:plc:4dm4val52snkcppjntvwlok3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mphx6xl7tk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/paranoiacs.bsky.social/post/3mph6lmkgr22yAmidst all of the legitimate anxiety surrounding the contraction of the media space, I am deeply inspired by the emergence of Skratch Golf, a beautifully calibrated site featuring wonderful reporting and analysis, executed with great humor and panache.

The carefully calibrated and the utterly unhinged. Their freakiest trick: they might sound like other bands, but no other bands can ever sound like them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTndIORNPr825 Jun 2026 03:30 +0000at://did:plc:4dm4val52snkcppjntvwlok3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp3ii2epyc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/paranoiacs.bsky.social/post/3mp2g75kaw22f"It's a film all about the pure anarchy of youth, and what is gained and lost in its taming." Over at Southwest Review, I wrote about the genius of teenage discernment, the non-stop fun machine that was early-KISS and Dazed & Confused's utterly perfect soundtrack. https://southwestreview.com/needle-drops-kisss-rock-and-roll-all-nite/24 Jun 2026 17:16 +0000at://did:plc:4dm4val52snkcppjntvwlok3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp2g75kaw22f
