I mentioned Bingo Boys' 2023 record 'Freak Out & Leave' in February, how I was upset I somehow missed it last year. They're from Indianapolis, Indiana and make some incredible catchy, melodic psych-ish garage/punk.
I've been going through their back catalog today and they don't even have bad songs. 🤯
Bingo Boys put out a couple singles this/last year which are unfortunately only on Spotify, but Bandcamp has several of theirs too- ALL good: https://bingoboys.bandcamp.com
Listening to Jason Loewenstein's 2017 solo record Spooky Action again today as I often do, yknow, just because it's one of the greatest damn albums ever recorded
Quick introduction now that I've moved to Mastodon Music.
Swiss-based musician - bass, guitar, key, vocals of varying competencies. Played in Sydney in the 80s, Brisbane in the 90s, Myspace in the 00s + a rogue folk-acoustic set somewhere in there, nothing at all in the 10s!, and now active again. Several solo, collaborative and band activities locally and in Australia.
Also trying to recover all my old friends after the unexpected move, so boosts appreciated.
#CurrentSpins – #MaryTimony – Untame the Tiger (2024). #IndieRock guitarist/ singer-songwriter Timony hasn't cut a solo album in 19 years, remaining active in a gaggle of groups, including Ex Hex. Here, Timony shows herself as one of the best-kept secrets in rock.
The album combines power pop with sparse acoustic material, lyrically touching on grief (both her parents died during the making of the album) without sounding aggrieved. Ex-Fairport Convention Dave Mattacks drums on several tracks.
It was a dark and stormy morning... and it made me want to listen to Interpol. Highlights from 2018's Marauder album include "The Rover" & "Flight of Fancy". #IndieRock#Rock@vinylrecords

Bob Fartblossom, aka Bob Durkee, was a kind of local underground celeb where I grew up. After putting out releases from his own band (Pillsbury Hardcore) he started his own label and put out bands like Justice League, Three Day Stubble, and Subculture. I’d buy pretty much anything on the label in the mid to late 80s.
This has become a bit of a novelty item since it’s Dave Grohl’s first band.
Comes with glossy fold-out insert with photos, and “thanks” list, a postcard, and the text "David Grohl destroys Tama drums exclusively” in the lower left corner.
Also, engraved on one side's runoff is the message "Everything Matters" while on the other side is etched "Time Doesn't Matter".
Ohhh! I have a song of my own for this one!! The little black hatchback is an actual car, pictured in the album art, that was our beloved ride back in the day.
I, again, have not been very active still, but I have excuses to explain this:
I’ve been having a lot of ups and downs recently so that’s not very good.
I was sick for a few days, and I probably still am a little bit
I’ve been having terrible sleep lately, usually sleeping 5 or 6 hrs per night to 3 or 4 hrs per night.
Anyway, I’ve seen people following the @Threaded account and I’m very happy that it gets more and more traction, although things haven’t moved a lot lately, due to the reasons given above. I’ve mostly been working on side-projects and/or private projects (that will make me earn some buckaroonies aka. Euros.)
"There [used to be] regionalism in music. You knew where your band was from the same way you knew your sports team. We knew The Cars were from Boston. We knew R.E.M. was from Athens. We knew The Ramones were from New York. When you went to Minneapolis, Soul Asylum would be on the radio."
An early single released in 1982, 'In Shreds' captured the raw energy and melodic darkness of The Chameleons' unique brand of post-punk. Featured on their acclaimed debut album 'Script of the Bridge', the song became a staple of their live shows. Its driving guitars and Mark Burgess's anguished vocals exemplify the band's enduring influence.
Ce soir j'ai envie de chialer comme un môme mais je me retient, je prends tout ce qu'il y a dans cet album comme une bouée de sauvetage, ca sert à ca le rock, ca sauve des vies, cette voix qui chevrote, comme Thom qui chanterai "But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo" et l'explosion de gratte brute de déco du rock indépendant qui reprendrai "I can't believe that life's so complex"
Vous avez peut être aussi besoin de cet album qui sait? Après tout on à tous besoin d'un moment de réconfort quand le sol se dérobe sous nos pas.
Prenez soin de vous. N'hésitez pas cet album est magnifique.
In this excerpt from the new episode of Spotlight On, Irish 'techno-punk' band Chalk delve into the band's mix of genres and how they create a unique sound blending influences from Belfast.
I can't help but still love In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel but I totally understand if a normal person listened to that album on your recommendation and their first impulse is to either beat you up and get a restraining order. #indierock#90s#folk
I make at least one awesome discovery each #BandcampFriday and the first one this time is @notype's album Communication in the Presence of Noise. It's a collection of well-oiled indie-rock-meets-electro bangers with vocaloid-synthesized vocals and a fantastic theme of alt-historical what-if techno utopianism. Good tunes with an accessible, inviting sound.
