Mirah first made waves way back in 2000 with her debut You Think It’s Like This But Really It’s Like This, an album that established the then-Olympia-based artist as a fixture of the mid-’90s Pacific Northwest indie rock scene. (Phil Elverum co-produced it, and K Records released it.) Now based in Brooklyn, Mirah got a lot more ears on her music in 2020, when New York’s Double Double Whammy issued a new expanded edition of You Think It’s Like This featuring covers by some of the artists she’s inspired — Flock Of Dimes and Hand Habits, to name just a couple. Today, Mirah has returned with her first new music in seven years, the single “Catch My Breath,” and it also features Flock Of Dimes’ Jenn Wasner and Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy. View the full article

A few weeks ago, Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson made a big announcement: They’re going back out on tour. It’s been more than a decade since Canadian prog legends Rush’s last tour. In 2020, longtime drummer and lyricist Neal Peart passed away at the age of 67. Now, Peart’s two surviving bandmates are getting ready to head out on their Fifty Something tour. The show is being framed as a tribute to Peart, and they’re doing it with the blessing of Peart’s family and with former Jeff Beck drummer Anika Nilles standing in. As initially announced, the Fifty Something tour was only scheduled to hit seven cities, with multiple dates in most of them. But all of the Rush’s US and Canadian dates sold out, so they’ve added a bunch more, in different cities. View the full article

Back in the day, Guns N’ Roses leader Axl Rose was the king of the onstage freakout. If something was happening that wasn’t to his liking, Rose would sometimes stop the entire show, to the point where multiple GN’R concerts broke out into riots. That hasn’t been the case in recent years. Instead, Guns N’ Roses have been functioning as an ultra-professional act on the global stadium circuit, even as they’ve continued to say vague things about supposedly-incoming new music. But at a Buenos Aires show on this past weekend, the world got to see a flash of the old Axl. View the full article

Daniel Lopatin, the New York vaporwave wizard known as Oneohtrix Point Never, has been moving in lots of different circles for a long time now. Ever since he scored the Safdie Brothers’ great 2017 film Good Time, he’s been doing amazing things in that world. Ever since he worked on some of the tracks from the Weeknd’s 2020 album After Hours, he has played supporting roles on big records, too. Recently, he’s racked up credits on music from people like MGMT, Yung Lean, and the Weeknd. Last year, he worked with John Medeski to score the HBO series The Curse. He also scored Josh Safdie’s much-hyped upcoming movie Marty Supreme. Lopatin continues to make his own head-wrecking synth music, and he’ll release a new LP called Tranquilizer next month.

Great to have you join us Henry :) I know that you will for sure have a blast here. This is a very lighthearted place to hang around lol. We so cool I got frostbite on my ass

Right before going off air one night, I ditched the playlist and played a slow ballad that just fit the mood. No one said anything, but the next morning I woke up to a dozen messages from people saying it hit them at the right time. That’s the thing about radio — sometimes it finds people exactly when they need it.

We tried to prank our co-host by pretending a celebrity was calling in. The plan was flawless — until the actual guest called in early and heard us talking trash about their “fake” version. They took it like a champ, but the red faces in the studio were unforgettable.

Power flickered, internet dropped, half the town was in blackout — but we stayed on air with backup generators. It turned into this strange, intimate show where people called in just to say they were okay or share updates. No ads, no music rotation, just pure community radio. That night reminded me why local stations still matter.

You haven’t lived until you’ve thought you were off-air and started humming along to the background track — badly. The text line blew up with “nice vocals, DJ!” messages before I realized my mic was still hot. I owned it, laughed it off, and we turned it into an impromptu “Sing It Badly” segment the next night. It stuck for weeks.

One caller rang in for a song request, but before we knew it, she was talking about her breakup and how music was the only thing getting her through. We ended up chatting for 20 minutes on-air — no script, just real human stuff. It’s wild how radio can turn into a lifeline for someone at 2 a.m.

Every DJ has a horror story involving caffeine and electronics. Mine was mid-sentence on a live morning segment when my elbow caught my coffee mug. A waterfall straight across the console. I tried to play it cool and cut to music, but the mic stayed live. Listeners heard five solid seconds of “Oh no, oh no, oh no—” before the system rebooted. The texts after? All sympathy and coffee memes.
