The rock critic who changed the way I listen to music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“A great new sound reaches us, always, as a miraculous gift.” The rock critic Dave Marsh, now of blessed memory, wrote that about Albert Ayler in 1998, and out of the thousands of memorable words Marsh wrote about music, that one stands out as perhaps the best declaration of his own personal creed. Dave Marsh was born in Flint, Michigan, where his dad worked on the railroad and did not appreciate the length of his son’s hair or the music he listened to. He left home as soon as he could, and late
Afghan Whigs don't sound like the '90s anymore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Greg Dulli and his Afghan Whigs are back with “Soft Control.” The new Whigs record is a strong collection of material that stands solidly amongst the existing catalog of v2 Whigs albums, with big rockers, piano ballads, and tape loops neatly nestled against guitar feedback. It also brings stellar guitar work, a new drummer and features Dulli’s vocals in a way you haven’t heard them previously. 2026 is also being claimed as the 40th anniversary for this particular band of brothers, and it is inde
50 years later, the Ramones' debut still defines punk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
50 years ago, the Ramones released their self-titled debut LP.

It’s important to remember that it was 1976, so this particular fashi
How Patti Smith helped Lenny Kaye find his solo voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lenny Kaye is one of rock ’n’ roll’s national treasures. He’s the guy who never has to pay for his drinks in bars from Stockholm to Shanghai, thanks to “Nuggets,” his now-essential compilation of what were obscure garage rock classics that became the foundation of punk rock and a lingua franca for the spirit of DIY. He’s the kind of guy who should have been given a Guggenheim Fellowship because of his galactic range of interests, knowledge and influences and for his input and his contributions t
Margo Price's furious protest songs meet the moment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I want to be doing everything I can to change the world and it’s hard to know where to start, but I guess this song is as good a place as any,” Margo Price told Salon, speaking about her performance of Blaze Foley’s scathing “Oval Room,” one of five performances of protest songs now available on “Days of Unrest,” a nine-track EP available on streaming services as well as on vinyl, with proceeds from the physical release going to The Florence Project, an organization that assists immigrants faci
