1. I'm grateful this newsletter will provide occasional off-ramps from my usual 2-3 degrees of separation from Wilco indie rock rut. That record by Momoko Gill recommended earlier this month really connected for me.
2. I'm excited to see the Cola song headlining this week. I'm still perplexed (and pleased) by how much 2024's The Gloss wormed its way into my brain.
Great recs as always! I've been enjoying getting into the Waxahatchee/Snocaps/etc extended universe, so I'm looking forward to listening to Remember Sports too.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Blue Stoplights, another local band by a couple friends of mine. I've never been the best at describe bands, but they're very midwest-sounding, with a nice dose of slide guitar and such for some of that extra twang. As it happens,they're also playing at the newish venue Bookclub this coming Friday (March 6).
The mighty algorithm put Liz Cooper on my radar, but now I have even more reason to check it out! Mod Lang is groovy, too, and my son was raving about No Other Choice. Sounds like the cream is rising to the top...
The updated Josh Terry Human Algo is my favorite part of Thursdays.
Two quick thoughts.
