Los Angeles band Adult Books released their sophomore LP "Grecian Urn" in 2021. It went a bit under the radar but was one my favorites to listen to start-to-finish (both strolling with Biscuit to the park in summer and dragging him there this winter). Fans of The Cure's not-too-dark side should enjoy it. I'm playing songs from my favorite releases of 2021 on the next couple of issues of The Bottom Forty podcast.

Issue #3 of The Bottom Fortyβ„’ podcast is live! This time I chat with Jonah Falco about his new project Jade Hairpins. Jonah is also a member of punk stalwarts Fu**ed Up but his new project couldn't be more different. We discuss what living on a narrowboat in London is like, making the transition from drummer to frontman, borrowing from Yello's "Oh Yeah" and what he thought of my DEVO/Mark Mothersbaugh comparison. Hope you enjoy. www.anchor.fm/thebottomforty Please pass it on and post anywhere you see fitπŸ˜πŸ€˜πŸ“‘πŸŽ§
