This week's playlist has four distinct sections. The first is, unfortunately, the saddest, as it's decidated to local musician Stephen Peck who died recently. I didn't know him, but on Sunday my Facebook went bright lights about him--he was a clearly talented guy who will be sincerely missed. On this playlist, you can hear a seriously charming (and hilarious) piece he constructed in part from a computer reading back the words his cat accidentally wrote as it walked on the keyboard called "Catwords," and "Can't Shake" from his recent Jessica Albatross project with Thadd Lawrence. 

Section two is dedicated to an event that's happening tonight at the White Rabbit that's been knocking around my head for weeks: a tribute to Weezer's Pinkerton. The show will kick off with support from Digital Dots and S.M. Wolf (both of whom are represented on the playlist), and then lean in to that nostalgia-core hard with a band consisting of Adam Gross (of S.M. Wolf and Amo Joy), Allen Bannister (of Everything, Now!), Bryan Unruh, and Drew Malott (both of Scanlines). You probably guessed it already, but Scanlines and Everything, Now! are also on that list. 

Section three is dedicatd to something you'll be hearing more about around here next week: the new collaborative EP entitled Synergy in Exile from Sphie, Diop, and Mandog. I've got tracks from Sphie and Diop in the playlist, and be sure to peep the video for "Vilify" off the release below. 

And finally, we enter the two track section of the playlist I'm calling, uncreatively, the Halloween section because, you guessed it, today is Halloween. I've got the slamming creeper jam "Sister Fucker" from Racebannon's Acid or Blood in there, because the art for that album still haunts my dreams. I've also got David Barajas' "Next Patient | Want You So Bad" from his Neuroscan release in there, because the almost ASMR-feeling crawl of his work does nothing but shiver up and down the spine. And, if that's not Halloween enough, be sure to check out his even-more-Halloween-y Red Minutes record, which just got a super conveniently close to Halloween tape release from Holy Infinite Freedom Revival.
