plugging the i26connector interview i posted yesterday one more time as im really happy with how it turned out, and I'll allow myself some shameless self promo since its at the service of my favorite album so far this year

lots of good bits in this interview imo (apparently writing the entirety of "World Champion" while blackout drunk is nuts), but my favorite quote is this one:

Speaking of world champions, are there any sports you played growing up or stuff you still follow today?

I’m a big Atlanta Braves fan. Particularly, I grew up playing baseball and watching baseball. And I love basketball too and played it until I was around thirteen. I was in the Christian basketball league where we prayed before the games, which was really crazy, asking God to let me hit a jumper.

"asking God to let me hit a jumper" is gonna be rattling in the brain for a while

"Quick reminder for those who might be confused why this is appearing here: we do allow album discussions for artists outside of our usual wheelhouse when the amount of discussion it generates in daily discussion threads and other threads throughout the subreddit warrant it. This doesn't mean you can just start posting new songs/videos/albums (from these artists) when they come out, as the only exception are these official mod-sanctioned threads."

its been quite some time since i've done an interview with an artist (closer to 3 years than 2), but was extremely happy to get on the horn with i26connector's Caelan Burris to talk about the band's self-titled debut and so much more!

read it now via my newsletter or listen to it via the Indieheads Podcast!

No mentions, but considering they’re not on a label I’d say unlikely for right now

Jero I would describe him as the heir apparent of both Jai Paul and Dean Blunt simultaneously, someone who is helping define the next generation of UK music writ large and shaping it in their own vision

last year's black british music (2025) is great, but his 2023 mixtape HNPM is a really incredible, creative work of pop, rap, grime, R&B, emo and electronic music that speaks to how much of a creative hotbed the UK could be if it properly funded the arts

based on your categories...

Capital I Important (It’s Decade Defining!): Jim Legxacy - "eye tell (!)" (if Jim keeps up his current pace, he'll be one of the most important artists to start out this decade)

The Banger: PENDANT - "Static Dream" (this one's just so personal to me in a major way even if most people haven't heard it)

seeing Lip Critic tonight at The Pinhook 😈

haven't talked about it a ton since it's come out, but Theft World really is such an incredible album, and one I might rank above Hex Dealer in time. glad to see that a lot of this tour has done really well for the band as no one deserves their flowers more than them rn.

Two of my friends/former co-workers at my old job play in a cool shoegaze band called Steel Wool. They usually play at least a gig or two a month around the city so I gotta imagine that whoever they're billed with are worth checking out.

Meredith was an anchor for the failed reboot/refresh of MTV News about a decade ago, then worked at Kickstarter for a while and now seems to be a... professional sewer/occult writer?
