I play in a hammered-dulcimer-fronted band with eight other musicians who live on three different continents. We only ever see one another when we're touring.

Song of the week: "Empath" by Russian Circles from their most recent record: Nine. If instrumental metal is your thing, then you'll enjoy hearing RC absolutely smash it on this track.

Song of the week: "Blood in the Grass" by Sour Windows. I love the earnest, 90's indie-rock song structure, which recalls a time when I once believed my personal decisions actually had some effect on the world.

Song of the week: "She Wonders" by Myxa. I'm really digging the gritty, 90's trip-hop electronic undercurrent on this track.

Song of the week: "Dreams of a Dead Dreamer" by Ak'chamel, The Giver of Illness from the band's most recent record: Spiritually Unemployed. If this track doesn't sound like anything you've heard before, check out their live set on KEXP.

Song of the week: "You Turned on The Tap" by Julia Jacklin from her new record The Gem. Her poignant lyrics and heart-wrenching delivery will bring you back to memories of people you once loved dearly who are no longer part of your life.

Song of the week: "Lost it All" by the New Age Healers from their latest album: Blowing Smoke Through the Choir. As one listener commented: "This fucking slaps!"

@SavageDan @ThatEricAlper And when I wake up in the morning
I tell myself, "Today I'll make a change."
But falling into my bed at night
I think, "man, it was a beautiful day
To stay the same."
--David Bazan (from "Don't Change")

Song of the week: "Weightless" by Motrik from their 2025 record Earth. One youtube listener remarked that: "This is a banger... These guys have revitalized krautrock."

Song of the week: The very catchy "In Your Pocket" by Packaging from the band's self-titled 2025 record. If you like this, check out "Didn't Wanna Stay" from the same album. Their set on KEXP is also worth a look/listen.

Song of the week: "4:44" by Land of Talk from their upcoming record: Lasts. This new single captures the spirit of what Truman Capote meant when he wrote that "autumn has always been the season of beginning for me."

Song of the week" "Ever the Actor" by Interpol from their new record: This Mirror Weighs a Ton." As my friend recently commented: "I would have ridden those ending strings all the way to Venus." I wish they had, but it's a great tune regardless.

Song of the week: "Procession" by New Order. Nearly 45 years old and still as vibrant, mysterious, and uplifting as ever. The lyrics are great, too: "I have seen your face / But I don't recognize all these things / You must have left behind."

Song of the week: "Victory" by Jeremy Enigk from his 2017 record Ghosts. Enigk's songwriting skill and passionate delivery can dredge up uncomfortable memories like no one else out there.

Song of the week: "Moaning Lisa Smile" by Wolf Alice from their 2015 record: My Love Is Cool. The mark of a great rock song (any song, really) is that as soon as it ends, you want to play it again (and again).

Song of the week: "Til a Mermaid Drags You Under" by Mary Lattimore from her 2020 record Silver Ladders. The mood is dark and mysterious in the first half, but the second half takes a surprisingly optimistic turn.

Song of the week: "Abigail" by Afternoon Bike Ride. I love this single from the album: Running With Scissors. The singer of this Montreal three-piece (Lia Kurihara) reminds me a lot of Kerry Alexander of Bad Bad Hats.

Song of the week: "Bury Me" by Ora Cogan from last year's four-song EP with the same title. Like the best rock songs, this one has its fair share of surprises.

Song of the week: "Dreamt in the Current of Leafless Winter" by Andrew Wasylyk from the album Hearing the Water Before Seeing the Falls. I still often play this serene piece in the background of my ESL classrooms, especially when the students are writing.

Song of the week: "A Rudderless Ship" by Astrel K from the band's 2024 album: The Foreign Department. If you like Rhys Edwards' work with Ulrika Spacek, you'll enjoy the surprising twists and turns of this track.

Song of the week: "Limbo" by Throwing Muses from the 1996 album Limbo. This guitar-heavy incarnation of TM is my favorite era of the band's prolific 40-year history. If you like this song, check out "Tar Kissers" from the same record. @throwingmuses
