Welcome to The Weekender, where I gather up the records, movies, shows, books, and assorted internet detours I think are worth carrying into the next couple of days. Consider your weekend sorted.
Included in this issue, a very fun one IMHO:
the release of the week comes from one of my favorite artists of the decade
a classic band finally gets the live album treatment
a long-lost Detroit garage rock record has been rescued
33 ⅓ songs to soundtrack peak patio season
four and a half hours of one of the best producers alive doing his thing
the very welcome return of a band we may have taken for granted
an 86-minute head trip enters The Wax Museum Film Canon
and a fitting book to revisit after losing one of America’s greatest writers
The Weekender drops every Friday exclusively for paid subscribers. Your $5 a month or $50 a year gets you one of these every week, plus the full archive and $10 off in the Gift Shop. More importantly, it gives me an excuse to spend an unreasonable amount of time digging for things worth recommending to you.
Thanks for supporting human curation. Now let’s get into it.
