Throwing Muses' latest LP, "Moonlight Concessions," finds Kristin Hersh and the band still innovating, still growing. A five-decade-long winning streak rolls on. I did some spieling on what has made Hersh and the Muses so good for so long here: https://t.co/ciFWa1sMVl https://t.co/FHbS2QFdQB

Blondie's first U.S. tour was opening for Iggy Pop. Tough audience but Blondie won 'em over with a show that punched hard, thanks in large part to the guy behind the drums. Clem Burke. What a titan. The intro to "Dreaming" alone still staggers. RIP, Clem. https://t.co/2SYBQdbxKh

Scrawl had it all: hooks, toughness, poignance, and they rocked clubs into the '90s. Few bands had a single songwriter as accomplished as Marcy Mays or Sue Harshe, let alone two. The 1991 "Bloodsucker" EP stands tall in a deep catalog. @soundopinions https://t.co/vYP3h5EkQr https://t.co/s0czqRm3Z4
