9:59 PM |

10:02 PM |
| Cloakroom Lost Meaning N Dissolution Wave Relapse Records 2022 Opening cut to the newest LP from the Northwest Indiana shoegaze inspired trio. A concept album of sorts (when incorporating the insert/cover/back) focused on a future wiped out from a tragic physics accident. |
10:06 PM |
| My Bloody Valentine Only Tomorrow m b v Domino Recording Co 2013 Following an over two decade hiatus, shoegaze legends My Bloody Valentine released their third studio LP in 2013, though Kevin Shields had been working on initial compositions that would make up most of this release since 2006. Much mellower sound than previous recordings. |
10:13 PM |
| Boris The Fallen N W Sacred Bones Records 2022 Latest 27th release (or so) from the experimental Japanese noise rock legends. Much more contemplative side of the band, the work itself a reflection on the state of the world making its way through this pandemic. |
10:17 PM |
| Creative Adult Control My Eyes Psychic Mess Run For Cover Records 2014 From Northern California, Creative Adult delivered a vlast of Sonic Youth inspired noisy post-punk on this LP, produced by Efrim Menuck of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. |

10:31 PM |
| Flood Twin Control N Flood Twin Flood Twin 2021 Debut LP from this Atlanta-based post-punk trio, drawing from such 80s post-punk influences as Gang of Four, Public Image Ltd., Wire, and Killing Joke. My sleeper record of 2021. Highly recommended! |
10:34 PM |
| The Jesus Lizard Nub Goat (Remaster / Reissue) Touch and Go Records 2009 Influential release from this Chicago0based noise-rock band. The lyrics tell the story of a boy who stuck his hand out a school bus window and lost his arm. So don't stick your hands out of moving vehicles! |
10:37 PM |
| Gang of Four To Hell With Poverty Solid Gold EMI 1981 Sophomore release the English post-punk band that probably inspired you to start a band (like The Velvet Underground did years before). Lyrics much more politically charged compared to the debut Entertainment!. |
10:45 PM |
| Collate Who Cares About Tradition? Liminal Concerns Collate 2018 Debut LP from this Portland, OR, post-punk band. Its got that bouncy post-punk vibe I love so much. |
10:47 PM |
| Liars Mr You're On Fire Mr They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top Mute 2002 Debut LP from this (at the time) Boorklyn-based arty post-punk revival band. Remember that post-punk dance-punk revival that exploded in the early aughts. Wild times. |
10:50 PM |

10:54 PM |
| Stranded Crossed Lines N Midnight Sun Double Phantom 2021 Solo project from Atlanta-based musician David Mansfield. Do I hear some Krautrock influence throughout? |
10:57 PM |
| XL Capris World War Where Is Hank? Axle 1981 Early 80s post-punk from Australia. Song title totally not selected because of ongoing current events in Eastern Europe. I pinky swear. |
11:04 PM |

11:10 PM |
| Protomartyr Machinist Man No Passion All Technique Domino Recording Co 2019 Debut LP from this Detroit post-pun outfit, originally released in 2012. Heavily influenced by The Fall. The original LP pressing was released in limited quantities and increased in price to just over triple digits on the secondary market. Domino re-released the album in 2019. Hope you didn't buy the original at over $100! |

11:45 PM |
| Cows Terrifique Cunning Stunts Amphetamine Reptile Records 1992 Minneapolis noise-rock band. The cover to this - the band's fifth studio LP - is their direct take on Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch! cover, that being a great slice of avant-garde jazz. |
