Hey, look what we have here, a new podcast episode. On this week’s episode of Encore I am joined by Craig Manning to discuss the ten year anniversary of one of my favorite albums of all time: The Gaslight Anthem’s The ’59 Sound.
Mercy Union, featuring Jared Hart of The Scandals and Benny Horowitz of The Gaslight Anthem, will release their debut album, The Quarry, on October 19th. You can stream the lead single “Chips and Vics” below via Noisey and you’ll also find the full press release.

Shawn Harris and Tim de Vil take turns producing one-another’s songs on the PRC podcast, in front of your very eyes, or ears actually, and then they press the song onto these thin, collectable plastic records called Flexi-Discs, and deliver them to your doorstep.
Hopesfall have shared a video of their set from Brooklyn last month.

John Gruber, writing at Daring Fireball:
My strong preference for Tweetbot, on both iOS and Mac, is simple: I prefer its user interface.
Tweetbot presents tweets and replies/mentions in a way that fits my mental model of what Twitter is. Tweetbot makes sense to me — in large part simply because it presents tweets in chronological order. Twitter’s iOS app does none of these things for me. I truly find it confusing. And Twitter no longer even fucking has a first-party native app for the Mac. I don’t want to use a website for Twitter. I want an app.
I think Twitter should reverse course on this whole thing.
I agree with Gruber on this entire thing. Now that Tweetbot can no longer stream tweets, but instead will show them after a one or two minute delay, the app is almost worthless while watching sports. Beside just getting pissed off at the news each day, that’s one of the main reasons I loved Twitter. I’ve never seen a service constantly shoot itself in the foot and alienate its most loyal users as much as Twitter has in the past year.
Sick of It All will release their new album Wake The Sleeping Dragon! on November 2nd.
In partnership with Berklee College of Music and Electric Lady Studios, Spotify’s EQL Studio Residency will help open the door for emerging female producers and engineers while shining a light on the great work already being done by women in the music industry.
Starting in October, the program will offer three residencies in three different cities: New York, Nashville, and London. During these paid six-month residencies, one participant in each city will work hands-on in our studios and gain access to invaluable networking and mentoring opportunities to further her career.
