I never listened to The Gits back in the early 90s when they came up. I had heard the name, I think Kurt Cobain had championed them back then, but not the music. But yeah, I hadn't listened until now. Recently, news of The Gits popped up into my feed, as their albums had just been remastered and rereleased. "Why not?" I thought to myself as I clicked play on the newly remastered first album, 1992's Frenching the Bully. Midway through the first song, my reaction was pretty much HOLY SHIT WTF TOOK ME SO LONG. After that album ended, I...

I am loving this new Ethel Cain song. So fucking good. Her new album is coming in January, I hope it's as good as this song. 

Kate Bush back in the news, as she's put out a new video for Snowflake (from 50 Words for Snow). It shows a little shrew trying to survive in a bombed city and a request to donate to War Child UK, a charity that specializes in rights of children affected by war and conflict. Watch the video below and click here if you'd like to learn more.   

The cover I didn't know I needed, I love it so much. Snail Mail covering Smashing Pumpkins' Tonight, Tonight. Seems like she started playing it live a few years ago, then it showed up earlier this year on the soundtrack for I Saw the TV Glow (cool movie, btw), and now it's out in the universe. Press play.

Shoegazers, get on Mo Dotti's Opaque immediately. Listened to it on a whim and it hit me like a swirly blast of reverb and distorted guitars. It kinda lands somewhere between Lush and MBV. Really scratches an itch. Totally recommended. Listen to it on their Bandcamp page, here.
