The first sign of Snocaps and a poet’s ‘Resting Bitch Face.’

Returning to the music of Brandi Carlile and important phrasing from Kelly Corrigan.

Diving into Poliça’s “Dreams” and re-learning Dr. King alongside my friend Donald Quist.

(Nearly) a lifetime of listening to Rhett Miller, and traveling “Certain American States” with Catherine Lacey.

Worth paying (attention to) the new Margo Price in an all-music Friday Five.

Getting prolific with Charley Crockett and dancing with Hembree.

Getting hysterical with Jessie Murph and reading a perfect short-story collection.

Returning to classic ‘Stories’ with Tracy Chapman and rocking with Brent Cobb.

Rocking with new Wet Leg and classic Ted Leo.

Yeah Yeah Yeah(s), it’s another Friday Five.
