Oh we like reviews like this one!
The mighty @Fractad and I review the brilliant new album by @GlassHammerProg, Black Light. Yeah, we love it.

I just finished reading @freyaindiaa's book Girls, and it is an eye-opener! It's as important to understanding Gen Z as Haidt's Anxious Generation. My review: ricochet.com/1987925/freya-i…
The Bardic Depths have a new album coming out: Some Things Are Worth Remembering. It's definitely worth hearing - spiritofcecilia.com/2026/07/…

A great biography of a great man. I can't believe it's been 10 years since I read it!

Really good episode; I discovered some new and nice music!
Start the year off right with Part 1 of this year's Prog-Watch and @TheProgAspect collaboration on some of the best #progrock of 2025!

I have all of her Songbook albums. They are truly timeless; definitive performances of some of the greatest songs ever written.
This classic double-LP was recorded just over 69 years ago, in August 1956, on the heels of the equally brilliant "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book", recorded in Feb/March of the same year. They were part of a remarkably prolific decade or so of recording for @VerveRecords. Essential for any collection of jazz vocals!
I'm listening to the latest episode of the Commentary Magazine podcast. They may not "counsel despair", but crushing morosity is another matter entirely. :) @AbeGreenwald , @jpodhoretz
Nice review of Lawhead's work. I've read his Byzantium, which is about St. Columba and the Book of Kells, and I thought it was very good.
