- If you get a text with me with “imho” just know that it’s just my honest opinion, and also…. I’m a ho.
- One of my best indiepop friends gave me a gift while we were on tour that accidentally involved a large box cutter-- which I only discovered was in my bag when going through DOHA airport security. Was tempted to make a "Box Qatar" joke, but security were already ominously writing my name down, so...
- "We’re delighted to report that it remains utterly flawless... The riffs are turbo-charged, the choruses glisten with passion, and the crowd swoon at every single word... It’s a ridiculously exciting experience, embracing emotion as defiance. Twee as f*ck, all over again.” [Robin Murray, CLASH]
- This tune is like that one song on a Darla Comp (you know, *that* one), a lost él records classic, or something tucked away in the "decadence" section of Other Music in 1999.... or maybe it's just a perfect pop song in 2025. Now is cool too... worldpeacedmt.bandcamp.com/track/marina

- In the midst of all the deserved celebration of a new generation of jangle pop bands, I want to take a moment to share one of my all time faves - their recordings never captured their greatness, but somewhere between the byrds, early primal scream and BJM, was PDX's own... COCAINE UNICORN!
- Lightheaded had to cancel, so we’re gonna fill in for them! If you’re in BK August 3, it’s gonna be loads of goodness. Kleenex Girl Wonder is prolly Peggy’s favorite band ever and @slumberlandrecords laughing chimes rule and low flying birds are great and…. Just come already.
- Last weekend at Indiefjord I played a set of Dylan songs at the Bjørke church with the help of Elizabeth of @allodarlin.bsky.social - here are a few pics, courtesy of Sasha Maese. Big thanks to Silja, her family, and all the volunteers for making such an other worldly event possible. X Kip

- Our @slumberlandrecords.com label mates have two great records out today the first is from @jeanines-band.bsky.social // we’ve been huge fans of Jed from the My Teenage Stride Days, but this band with Alicia is quite different and truly special. RIYL: Dear Nora, Dolly Mixture, Great Songs
