The Setlist for March 7, 2025


Not news

The big news this week isn’t music. It’s the first short story to run on Turn & Work, Zen by Kevin Light Roth. If you like Elmore Leonard or Demon Copperhead, this might scratch that itch.

New records out today from Divorce, POM, Sofy, and Star99. It’s also Bandcamp Friday, so get your picks in. I’m looking at the EPs by THE NONE (Bandcamp only), maybe preorder the Ribbon Skirt record.

The first standout track over there is by an artist who goes by Cherryshoes, from a place called Hay-on-Wye1. It’s the most stunning song I’ve heard in weeks.
