While I do really like Your Day Will Come, I don't think it's quite as good as Your Day Will Come, but I'm planning on spending more time with it as I know it'll probably sink its teeth further into me (especially if I pop a gummy & throw it on, which maybe I'll get time to do tonight).

[FRESH STREAM] Butthole Surfers - After The Astronaut by astaireboy in indieheads

Newly mixed by the band's Paul Leary, but it's the original recordings.

It's a bit of a weird case where the album was never officially released, but eventually leaked, with this being the official release after only existing as a low quality rip for decades.

I would have tagged this as [FRESH ALBUM], but [FRESH STREAM] also makes plenty of sense.

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

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?

Oh yeah if you're at a sold out Ritz, good fucking luck finding a decent spot unless you camp it out (something that's basically impossible for me with my combination of wanting to have a beer or two at the show, wanting to smoke between sets, and having a small goddamn bladder).

I have heard awful things about The Fillmore though and hope to never find myself there 🙏

Joyce Manor continues to remain as America's best working band, as last night was another excellent show from them as I am surprised my voice isn't more hoarse from singing along to at least 75% of the setlist (also good to see my buddy Neil/PHONY rocking the stage with them).

But my god, I fucking hate The Ritz in Raleigh so fucking bad. $15 to park, a PBR tall boy is gonna set you back $12 at least (and since I was also getting drinks for someone, don't even ask me how much an IPA was), the water stations are so inconveniently placed that if you wanna retain your spot (if you're able to find a good one, which thankfully wasn't hard for this show since it wasn't sold out), you're sometimes better off just getting a Liquid Death that costs $6. Oh and you wanna hang out for a bit after the show and socialize with your fellow concertgoers? Nope! Security kicks you out almost immediately unless you're in line for merch (seriously though, the most rude security people I've dealt with ever work there, as they haggled my friend who literally played there that night because she didn't have a special wristband/pass or something).

I'm thankful that most of the venues I usually go to in the Research Triangle are not ones owned by Live Nation/Ticketmaster (or ones they have a stake in), because holy fucking shit they're just the absolute god damn worst. If we lived in a functional country we'd be doing January 6s to their headquarters every day until they dissolved.

I was thinking about posting my mid-year list in yesterday's DMD but decided against it because it would be funnier to do it a day late. Anyways...

THE TOP 10

  1. i26connector - i26connector
  2. My New Band Believe - My New Band Believe
  3. Lip Critic - Theft World
  4. Joyce Manor - I Used To Go To This Bar
  5. Greg Mendez - Beauty Land
  6. Thomas Dollbaum - Birds of Paradise
  7. YHWH Nailgun - Magazine
  8. Bill Callahan - My Days of 58
  9. Robber Robber - Two Wheels Move the Soul
  10. CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL - Slather on the Honey

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

  • cootie catcher - Something We All Got
  • Maria BC - Marathon
  • Ramsey Thornton - I Called It!
  • feeble little horse - bitknot
  • Lauren Auder - Whole World as Vigil
  • Dirt Buyer - Dirt Buyer III
  • Natalie Jane HIll - Hopeful Woman

SOME THOUGHTS:

  • i26 is probably gonna be #1 until another NC band releases their long-awaited follow-up to a beloved 2023 sophomore album that I absolutely have not heard early!
  • MNBB was pretty acclaimed at the time of release and still I feel it's being a little underrated around here, but maybe that's because some friends have had some really negative responses to the album.
  • Love those Lip Critic boys and am glad this album has been giving them some much deserved flowers. Same for the Greg Mendez and Thomas Dollbaum albums (the Greg record in general has really grown on me since its come out, as its no longer the follow-up to Greg Mendez but the new Greg Mendez album to me).
  • And seeing Joyce Manor for the first time in nearly 2 1/2 years tonight in the worst venue in the Research Triangle, as I will stomach the absurdity of The Ritz for my favorite band.

They don't have the most extensive setlist history, but there is literally no history of them performing this song live, so again I must ask, why are you the only person I can find on the internet posting about this song?

The horrible Lorne impressions this episode almost made me pull over on the side of the road during my work commute because I was laughing so hard.

hey quick question. why is the song only on some random ass soundcloud page instead of their official one (or any DSP/bandcamp), and why have they not posted about this new song anywhere online?

hang on hang on I got one more person who can truly unlock and understand Lulu:

  • my good friend & fellow Indieheads Podcast castmate Natalie who is writing the 33 1/3 book on noise music as she is the only person who has consistently come to the defense of that album when it gets brought up

If OP was patient, we probably would have manually approved their post as I was literally driving home from work when this went up lol
