I agree with you that Spotify has a great user interface that makes playing music fun, easy and exciting. It is a part of using the app that I like a lot.

Is it any song or do you have a song in particular that makes you feel better once you are stressed out?

Are there songs that make you feel this way? Could you share the names of these songs that I could listen to?

Shout out Rupert Giles. That guy really did his best to look out for Buffy and her friends, and he rarely got any credit for it. Instead, he kept getting beat up by vampires and demons and whatnot, and the people he loved kept getting killed. Maybe he died in the end? I can’t remember. I hope not. But now, he’s at least getting some shine, since he’s the namesake for a new song from the young Manchester fuzz-pop band cruush. View the full article

Even most DJs just curate a list of favourite songs from an artist and post it on Spotify, for example. It makes listening to it fun since you are listening to the best songs by the particular artist.

It is definitely a cool song that I can listen to when I am studying. It can be rap, blues or pop but the beats shouldn't be that hard because it would be difficult to concentrate under those circumstances.

It can be frustrating if the music that is being played is your favourite. You would wish that the DJ says nothing and focuses on just playing the music. That is what I like once it is my favourite music that is being played.

The kids are bringing back early-’00s metalcore. I didn’t see this development coming, but it’s been very fun to watch. There’s a whole scene that’s developed around Ephyra, a Connecticut-based label that only came into existence in 2022. Bands like Balmora, Since My Beloved, Azshara, and Blow Up The Outside World are fully steeped in the complicated song-structures and bone-deep guitar-crunches that Poison The Well and Prayer For Cleansing brought into the game many years ago. And then there’s I Promised The World, a Texan band that seems to have beamed in directly from 2003, before any of the band members were actually born. View the full article

Remember Sports haven’t released an album since 2021’s Like A Stone, though there was an EP called Leap Day in 2022. Still, when new album The Refrigerator drops next February on the band’s new label home Get Better Records, it will essentially mark the Philly indie mainstays’ first new music in half a decade. That’s reason to rejoice, and new single “Bug” will only increase your anticipation. View the full article

Next Month, the Liverpool Band To Watch King Hannah will release a new limited edition 7″. “This Hotel Room” b/w “Look At Miss Ohio” follows this year’s “Leftovers,” which itself was an outtake from last year’s Big Swimmer. The B-side is a Gillian Welch cover. Today we hear A-side “This Hotel Room,” a smoldering folk-rock slow jam buoyed by powerful harmonies from bandmates Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle. They sound like a band fully capable of doing justice to a Gillian Welch song. View the full article

With the release of their recent album Big city life, the Copenhagen/Oslo duo Smerz jumped right to the top of a recent class of sharp, exploratory Scandinavian underground pop scientists. Copenhagen in particular has been a hotbed of that stuff lately, and Big city life fits right in alongside recent records from peers like Erika de Casier and ML Buch. But Smerz’s reach extends far beyond Denmark. They’ve attracted the attention of plenty of other artists, including the elusive Sky Ferreira, who recently joined them onstage in LA. Now, Smarz have a new Big city life companion-piece record that doubles as a summit meeting of the duo’s peers. View the full article

In The Alternative Number Ones, I’m reviewing every #1 single in the history of the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks/Alternative Songs, starting with the moment that the chart launched in 1988. This column is a companion piece to The Number Ones, and it’s for members only. Thank you to everyone who’s helping to keep Stereogum afloat. View the full article

“We managed to disagree about everything else, but in music, when we would align, it was powerful” The post BILLY CORGAN Talks D’ARCY WRETZKY’s Role In THE SMASHING PUMPKINS’ OG Era: “Her Contribution Had A Lot To Do With The Success Of The Band” appeared first on Metal Injection.

It’s been a little over three years since the 1975 released their latest record Being Funny In A Foreign Language, and now they’ve decided to make a change. The album is now one song shorter on streaming services because the band removed “Human Too.” View the full article

In 10 days, runo plum releases her debut album patching. So far we’ve heard “Lemon Garland,” “Sickness,” “Halfway Up The Lawn,” and “Pond,” which have all operated as extremely pretty previews. Now, the singer-songwriter is offering the dreamy number “Alley Cat.” View the full article

It seems like a bad idea to tour with CKY. Last year, the band was kicked off their co-headlining tour with Alien Ant Farm after frontman Chad I Ginsburg allegedly punched AAF leader Dryden Mitchell in the face. Now, Black Gold are pulling out of their tour with CKY due to “disrespect.” View the full article

Dirty Three are coming stateside. Last year the Aussie post-rockers released Love Changes Everything, their first studio album in 12 years, and celebrated with a brief tour in their home country. In March they’ll be bringing that tour to the US and Canada, their first trek across North American soil since 2012. View the full article

Woot!! I have just finished designing a Go Live Banner for the website. This banner will flash up on the top left of the website whenever we at solano paranormal rock & talk radio, go live on our video stream. We often stream when recording episodes of the Kick A$$ Rock Show or the Weekend Show. You can access the live stream by clicking the banner when it appears to inform you that we are live, or simply by going to the Kick A$$ Rock Show page on the site here. This is great for listener engagement and just adds another layer to what we offer here at the radio station. Mitch.

Radiohead returned to the stage tonight for the first time in seven years. It’s been an eventful interim, marked by the launch of side projects — most prominently the Smile, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s band with drummer Tom Skinner — and the amplification of controversy regarding the members’ stance on Palestine and Greenwood’s ties to Israel. At Movistar Arena in Madrid, the band kicked off the first of several four-night residencies in major European cities, digging into their catalog for a career-spanning setlist. I don’t know what this gig told us about the future of Radiohead, but seeing these song titles written out is a reminder of how much I enjoyed their past. View the full article

Romy, one-third of the xx, released her debut solo album Mid Air back in 2023. She’s put out a few singles in the meantime — including “Always Forever” and a few collaborations with Sampha — and today she’s back with another song that’s billed as a “symbolic closing chapter” to Mid Air.

Americana singer-songwriter Todd Snider canceled his fall tour in support of new album High And Lonesome And Then Some Monday after being hospitalized due to a “violent assault” Saturday outside his hotel in Salt Lake City. A new report indicates Snider was arrested on his way out of the hospital, seemingly because he did not want to leave. View the full article

Geese have been breaking out some covers during their incendiary tour in support of this year’s Getting Killed, including Velvet Underground and Stooges classics in San Diego, and Cameron Winter took on Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark” for a new ROG Xbox Ally ad.
