i released my newest zine and took some to lollipop records in Echo Park. Pick one up. Disposable camera pictures of No Parents, Melted, Fidlar, The Garden, SWMRS, and more. 

Here are my picks for this week’s Albums of the Day on Spotify. You guys know I’m extremely tardy to the party for all musical media evolutions; it took me like 3 years after everyone had bailed on cassettes to buy my first CD. So this gramma is all marveling at Spotify like you did 2 or 9 ago. Better late than never!

I’m so stoked to be able to indulge my random stream of consciousness musical yens, e.g. “WHOA I really wanna hear ‘Wasted Days and Wasted Nights’ by Freddy Fender!” cos that was a favorite when I was like, five. Then I hear a song as the end credits of that show Casual on Hulu, Google some lyrics to come up with the title, and BOOM, Cloves is my new favorite 20-year-old Australian singer-songwriter sensation.

Also found two new favorite bands that are the offspring of old punk rockers from my generation–FIDLAR and SWMRS (cos ALL CAPS IS A THING WITH YOU YOUNGSTERS APPARENTLY). These dudes are playing San Diego soon, so maybe I’ll even go out and see them!

So yeah, Spotify is joying up my geriatric heart these days.
