Review: Kristin Hersh lives off hope on 'Sugar on Blackstone' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kristin Hersh has had a rough go of things. She was hit by a car when she was sixteen, resulting in severe head injuries, PTSD, lifelong hallucinations and synesthesia, and a dissociative disorder that went misdiagnosed as schizophrenia for decades. Her music was a curse, not a blessing; something bestowed upon her by the part of her created by that dissociative disorder, a persona she half-lovingly maligned as Rat Girl. She got pregnant at nineteen, then lost custody of the child when the fathe
The phoenix never rises from the “Ashes of American Flags” (opens the original)

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Paste will be publishing essays about Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Nothing happens for a reason. We live rootless lives, ungrounded in any grand narrative scheme. It’s kinder to imagine otherwise—to frame ourselves as protagonists of some Homeric epic, subject to the whims of a well-meaning author rather than to the whims of nothing at all. Events sit apart, like pins in a corkboard, and we’re the ones who come along with the red string. The stars in Orio
AJJ searches for hope in a hopeless world (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Growing up, life only existed between one strip mall and the next—the liminal space between two highways. A smiley sun and a calligraphied Trust in Jesus, it will always get better! plastered on the mint-green wall of a therapist’s waiting room. Days spent stomping through public school hallways with Sean Bonnette’s voice, nasal and tinny, ringing in my ears: “You can hope it gets better, you can follow your dreams / But hope is for presidents / And dreams are for people who are sleeping.” Every
J Mascis is sick of perfect guitar sounds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In an ideal world, nobody would ask J Mascis anything. The Dinosaur Jr. frontman has long been known as a particularly laconic interviewee, and across the forty-five minutes of our Zoom call, I learn this firsthand. When I ask him about his reticence toward interviews, he just shrugs. “I don’t mind answering questions, but a lot of times people want you to just talk. If there’s a one-word answer to a question, then I answer it. But that’s not enough for people,” he gripes. “If they didn’t want a
@ is a force of nature (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A beekeeper and a computer programmer walk into a recording studio, and then promptly walk out again. This is not the set-up for a joke so much as it is the legitimate story behind Autosmile, the second record from Philadelphia duo @. Although they first became friends in 2015—in front of a horde of taxidermied animals at the Harvard Museum of Natural History—Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak’s musical collaboration began online and in-house during COVID-19, and at least for now, they plan to ke
