RIP Bill Withers

Man.  It was reported today that legendary soul artist Bill Withers passed away earlier this week.  The man's music has always had the ability to make me feel better when i'm down, even if it's a sad song like "Ain't No Sunshine."  So let's give it a listen as the sun starts to set.  He will be missed.  RIP Bill Withers.


Spotlights Cover Radiohead

A week off of a new EP, and spacey metal band Spotlights are already back with more new music.  Today they released a cover of Radiohead's "All I Need," and it's pretty damn good.  Check it out below and get it here.


Daily Jam - Pretty Noose

If pressed, i'd have a hard time saying what my favorite Soundgarden song is.  It's probably one of the deeper cuts on "Superunknown," but "Pretty Noose" would give anything a run for its money.  So let's listen to it below, our Daily Jam.

Iceage - Lockdown Blues

Danish punk band Iceage are currently at work on a new record, coronavirus delayed though it will probably be, but just dropped a new, and very timely, single today.  Check out "Lockdown Blues" below and get it here via Escho.  All proceeds will benefit Doctors Without Borders.


Ty Segall Covers Nilsson

I guess social distancing means Ty Segall puts out a free EP of Harry Nilsson covers.  I'm good with that.  Listen to "Jump Into the Fire" below and download the "Segall Smeagal" EP here for free from Drag City.


Daily Jam - I Know a Place

It's gonna be a Jay Reatard kinda day.  Here's "I Know a Place," our Daily Jam.

Nick Hakim

New York psych-tinged R&B and soul artist Nick Hakim has a new album of smooth jams heading our way in May.  Listen to the smoky and slinky "Qadir" below and pre-order the upcoming "Will This Make Me Good" LP here from ATO.


Psychic Ills

Sad to hear that Psychic Ills front man Tres Warren passed away a week ago.  Cause of death has not been released, but he was only 41, which just hits me a little too close to home.  The band were reportedly writing material for a new record that unfortunately had not been recorded yet, but they did manage to record a couple of covers, which are out now on Sacred Bones.  Listen to their take of The Beach Boys' "Never Learn Not to Love" below and get the 7" here.


Daily Jam - 99th Floor

I just love old Texas psych and garage rock.  And then you throw a pre-ZZ Top Billy Gibbons into the mix?  Chef's kiss.  Here's "99th Floor" from The Moving Sidewalks, our Daily Jam.
