Sponsor: My Thanks to La Roma

LA Roma

A huge thank you to La Roma for sponsoring the website and newsletter this week. Last week the band released their new song “So Long, Adieu” at Spotify and Apple Music. The band hails from Newcastle, Australia and have a sound that calls to mind a mixture of Jimmy Eat World, Anberlin, and Manchester Orchestra. This feels very in the wheelhouse for just about anyone that likes the kind of music we cover on a daily basis.

Keep your eyes peeled for their debut EP coming in early 2021, but for now, check out the new single.

Phoebe Bridgers talks with Double J about that Eric Clapton line in Punisher:

I have such an Eric Clapton rant, because I think it’s just extremely mediocre music, but also he’s a famous racist.

Sometimes I think people are too problematic to be cancelled, or not relevant enough to be cancelled. I mean, it wouldn’t even make news if he said something racist today, because he went on a racist rant in the 60s or 70s that was very famous.
