My dear friend Mitch sent me a playlist because he has such a broad range of music that I am constantly discovering and rediscovering music from him. I was playing a recent playlist he sent me and it had this glorious song, a favorite of mine…it was both written and sang by Clint Conley, co-founder, bassist and vocalist for the LEGENDARY band Mission of Burma, who were active briefly from 1979-1983…

They were name checked by Pixies, Foo Fighters, Guided By Voices, Sugar, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Hüsker Dü, Fugazi, Shellac…the mark they left, absolutely undeniable…

But here’s my best Clint Conley story…

Back in 2005 I saw this documentary called Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion…I was outraged. So many stories. What could I do? How could I help? I started looking up Tibet organizations in California. Somehow I ended up on a phone call with a force of a woman named Dr. Dorothy Berger, who was co-chair of the International Tibet Support Network, an umbrella network for several Tibet support organizations including the Richard Gere Foundation and Beastie Boys MCA’s Milarepa Fund.

She told me of a program helping fund scholarships for Tibetan children escaping the country by traversing the Himalayas on foot…some as young as seven years old…without adults…sent away by their parents into India knowing they may never see each other again. I was horrified. How could I help? How could I raise money?

Been thinking a lot about the state of the world….most excellent cover from of a most poignant song by

23/05/2026

glasvegas’s cover of miss polly jean harvey’s haunting song came on shuffle and i was remarking to Anuj over at about how good the cover is… and how good the original is… there was no proper video of glasvegas performing this that i could find, so i stitched together a little something for the song… both songs carry this strange ache to them… also worth noting… PJ Harvey credited the repeated line: “What if I take my problem to the United Nations?” as being inspired by Eddie Cochran’s Summertime Blues… one of those tiny musical breadcrumbs connecting generations of unrest together… written by Polly Jean Harvey… performed here by Glasvegas…

If you’ve never listened to Low Volts…you really should…

Tim Lowman — formerly of The Blackout Party — created this incredible one-man wall of fuzzed-out dirty blues, rock, soul, slide guitar, kick drums, tambourines and pure atmosphere that somehow felt both massive and deeply intimate at the same time…

We lost Tim toward the end of last year… and while this reel shares a few stories that always make me smile, I also wanted to share a few photographs and encourage people to explore the music he left behind…

Start anywhere and just wander…Tim will haunt you through an amplifier…

• Twist Shake Grind Break
• Rome With You
• Oh My Stars
• Forbidden Frequency

Four albums… numerous singles… and a genuinely unique voice in the San Diego music scene…

There are artists you listen to, and there are artists that create a whole atmosphere around themselves. Tim absolutely did the latter…plus, it’s hard to find a single soul who had a bad word to say of him…

Give it some ear…

In loving memory of 🫶🖤🫰

Anuj ( IG) and I were sitting around talking about how streaming platforms are getting flooded with AI-generated music…

and how hard it’s becoming for indie artists to even be heard anymore. Someone told me almost 100,000 new songs are added to Spotify every single day, which is kind of mind-melting. Like trying to scream into a hurricane while holding a cassette tape…

Between Anuj and me, our communities reach a little over 50 million views a month on IG… and we started asking ourselves — how can we use that reach to actually help people? S

So we came up with an idea…

why not build an ongoing indie community playlist?

A place where artists in our community can send us their music, and we just keep adding to it over time… almost like a weird little indie radio station. Something people can throw on shuffle while driving, cleaning, spiraling existentially at 2am, whatever works…

The idea isn’t “go viral.” The idea is discovery.

when you shrink the space down from millions upon millions of songs to an actual community of people who genuinely love music, maybe your song has a better chance of landing in somebody’s ears who really needed to hear it.

If somebody likes it, rad.
If they don’t, they skip.
That’s music…

But maybe somebody discovers their new favorite artist because of it.

So indie artists…
DM your singles to Sayonara Cupcake 🫶

(please don’t send them to Legends of Music… Anuj gets absolutely flooded with messages daily and there’s a good chance your music may disappear somewhere into the digital abyss before he even sees it…) and don’t panic if I don’t immediately respond because im not online always…regardless of genre, we’re happy to add you!

For the last videos the evening for those following down the rabbit hole today — we skip back to the beginning and Nick Sanderson — even after he was in the bands I’d referenced earlier, he was ALSO playing with JAMC….

So here’s the Jesus and Mary Chain, sans Nick, and the second ever Lollapalooza….the first Lollapalooza was initially supposed to be a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction….so in a weird way, the second Lollapalooza almost feels like the first real one….

And what an absolutely absurd lineup….

Red Hot Chili Peppers….Pearl Jam….Soundgarden….Ministry….Ice Cube….The Jesus and Mary Chain….Lush….

1992 Lollapalooza was ridiculously stacked….

here’s The Jesus and Mary Chain performing on 18 july 1992 at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California….performing the song that got them banned from the BBC….“Reverence”….

i KNOW there have to be people out there that were at this show….

please comment and share your memories…..

for those that have gone down the rabbit hole with me today/tonight….the next stop circles back to the catalyst Gun Club video which featured Kid Congo Powers….this time he’s found some Pink Monkey Birds….

i LOVE watching performances of kid congo powers because he seems so genuinely happy in his element….and that energy transfers directly into the sound….even if he’s singing about stuff he doesn’t like, it’s done in such a sassy pu***ss way that it still makes me smile….

this performance was filmed live on KEXP in 2014….and the song is called “I Don’t Like”…

KCP has had one of the wildest résumés in underground music history….The Gun Club….The Cramps….Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds…like what a f’in badass….maybe I need to go down those rabbit holes tomorrow…

if you’re still following along tonight down my rabbit hole….the third video in this series is a band called Freeheat….

Freeheat consisted of jim reid and ben lurie from The Jesus and Mary Chain….romi mori from The Romi Mori Band and The Gun Club….and nick sanderson, also of The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Gun Club….who also ties directly into the fourth band i’ll be dragging into this rabbit hole next….

i’m not really sure exactly when this video was filmed because the uploader didn’t specify….but Freeheat existed during that in-between time after The Jesus and Mary Chain broke up the first time….so somewhere between 2000 and 2006 i’d imagine….

which makes this footage even cooler to me….because it captures one of those strange transitional moments in underground music history where musicians you already loved from different projects all briefly collided together before splintering off again into other things….

so if you’re following me down the rabbit hole from my last reel, which posted my favorite iteration of The Gun Club, you’ll notice that romi mori was in the band….

romi would also have her own project, The Romi Mori Band….this video was uploaded to youtube back in 2016….i don’t know exactly where it was filmed, but the reason i chose to post it is because this is EXACTLY how japan consumes a lot of music….tiny basement clubs….super loud….you leave barely able to hear afterwards….but man….you’re THERE….

they are punk AF….

it’s electric….it’s intimate….it’s sweaty….it’s alive….

some of my favorite music experiences ever have happened in tiny japanese clubs where it feels like the entire room is collectively levitating from the energy….

so since a lot of people won’t ever get to experience that firsthand….here’s the next best thing….

stick around….there’s gonna be more tonight…

i saw a story come up the other day regarding Jeffrey Lee Pierce so it made me think of The Gun Club…

there were different iterations of the Gun Club, but i think my favorite was with Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Kid Congo Powers, Romi Mori, and Nick Sanderson…

there is a long and wonderful rabbit hole to go down with the Gun Club…punk, blues, psychobilly, swamp rock, no wave grime, old american ghosts rattling around in the walls…one of those bands where if they click with you, they really click with you…

so here is the Gun Club in Los Angeles, 1988, performing “She’s Like He**in to Me”…
