Hello, old friend.

Chicago’s Twin Peaks go full on Replacements for their new single, with just a dash of the Velvets thrown in for good measure.
Continuing with the Mazzy Star theme established yesterday, one of the lovable(?) idiots over in the Brooklyn Vegan comments section described this jam as “Mazzy Star meets Slowdive”, and I can’t say I disagree. The Black Ryder are touring the US with The Jesus and Mary Chain in May, so I doubt this will be the last you hear from the duo.
Old J is no stranger to the Mazzy Star classic, having previously covered it for a 7″ single. Here, he enlists Fred Armisen to play it on Late Night with Seth Meyers. It actually works quite well, considering the circumstances.
From the band’s upcoming split 12″ with Italian country-mates Havah, out February 17th.
I’m way late to the Jessica Pratt game, but now’s better than never, I hope.
You know the drill by now: New Courtney Barnett song, new IRS post.

In related news, there’s no radio show tonight, as I’ve heard rumors of a football game that’s worth watching. We’ll be back on next Sunday, though.
