Callum Robbins benefits update

Former Jawbox drummer Zach Barocas posted the following note on his blog:

I've finished gathering the 32 tracks for a 2-CD compilation we're putting together to benefit Callum Z. Robbins' care fund. It's called For Callum & is kind of a joint effort between The Cultural Society, Catlick Records, & Letterbox, though it's really a joint effort between the contributors, engineers, producers, & manufacturers who have made their talents & services available to us. I thank them all for their help & support. Truly.

In any case, there's not yet an official place to go for information about the CDs but I thought I should make preliminary mention of it here. Street date is 3/17/07 & it'll cost $17.00 ppd. All proceeds will go to Cal's fund. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line.

We're also putting on a Cal-benefit show here in Mpls on 3/17/07. I'll have more on that as the date nears.

Well, 2021 was a little better, as I have a list of top four records, and a lot of individual tracks.  (I made a lengthy Spotify playlist ) So, without further ado, here’s my list of favorites of the year: Albums Deafheaven, Infinite Granite (listen) Hands down, my favorite album of the year. I was not sure where Deafheaven would go after another record that brought My Bloody Valentine and death metal fans together, but they beautifully rebooted their sound on Infinite Granite. The divisive goblin vocals are vastly pared-down here, as are the blast beats. Sounding more inspired by Slowdive, the band has discovered a new sonic palette that I hope they explore more of in the future. It’s a welcome revelation. I still love their older material, but this has renewed my love of what these gu...
