I didn't realize the Dictators had reformed - with Albert Bouchard in the drum chair, no less, and without Handsome Dick. (I guess his abuse of his girlfriend was the last straw.) I'll have to check that out.

Ross “The Boss” has intimated there’s more where that came from...

Good news, that.

Indeed

Madeline Kenney - Didn't like this song all that much, but explored some of her other stuff that I liked better. I would bet she's a big Cocteau Twins fan.

Yard Act - I like it! Another in the TV Priest, Fontaines DC mold of Fall-influenced band.

Re. Madeline Kenney - the new self produced EP is more of a stopgap release. It’s certainly “dreamier” than last year’s full length, and definitely expands on the Cocteau Twins vibes she’s been putting out...

Re. Yard Act - hopefully a debut album isn’t that far away...

Another great show 801, I'm amazed how much great new music is still being produced under these appalling conditions.

There were a lot of not-so-old favorites this week which I discovered thanks to your good services. This includes Miss Grit, New Pagans, Editrix, Goat Girl, Push/Button/Press, Antonioni, MYTBE and Sleaford Mods. And to think that when I started listening to your show, I would recognize maybe two names each week ! Thanks for furthering my musical education.

I see that Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have not heeded my call to change to a better band name. In fact they managed a perfect trifecta with an awful bad name, awful album name and an awful song title - and yet it's quite a catchy number. That's really next level. Regarding the Dictators, the song was super catchy and would be a great addition to the small roster of songs played in sports stadiums (once this damn pandemic ends). Not that's it's likely to happen.

In terms of discoveries warranting some deeper digging this week, I'll mention Kali Masi (those first few notes were an outstanding way to open your show), Michael Beach, Raw Plastic and Pony.

I'm your weekly dose of positive feedback.

I appreciate the positive feedback, Philippe. Most days, I think I’ve missed the plot until it goes out over the air and I invariably realize how it has all managed to come together.

There certainly is an impressive array of new tunes to sift through, that’s for sure. I was down to almost nothing by the end of 2020, but what a difference 2021 makes...

Re. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets: I couldn’t agree more. What were they thinking?
