“You don’t have to be a fan of Seattle trio Coral Grief’s forehead-slap band name to appreciate the way their blinking, sighing psychedelic rock calls back to Stereolab and Broadcast. Coral Grief’s full-length debut Air Between Us drops next month… It’s a swooshing, hypnotic jam that sounds like it exists outside of time and space.” –stereogum

Andrea Doria (pronounced [anˈdrɛːa ˈdɔːrja]) was a luxury transatlantic ocean liner of the Italian Line (Società di navigazione Italia), put into service in 1953. She is widely known from the extensive media coverage of her sinking in 1956, which included the remarkably successful rescue of 1,660 of her 1,706 passengers and crew” –wikipedia

Nancy Friday's reviews are mixed but largely acknowledge her books, especially My Secret Garden and Forbidden Flowers, as groundbreaking for documenting female sexual fantasies in the 1970s, contributing to a cultural conversation about female desire. While praised for providing a liberating voice and unprecedented insight into women's inner lives” –googleAIoverview

Quitters: “I like this. A lot. It’s super lo-fi, but also super catchy (those two can go hand in hand. for sure). It’s fuzzy, but jangly at the same time. It’s got a somberness to it, but it’s not a downer. In terms of the sound, I guess I’d call it “indie,” if that’s okay with you. The production is perfect for the sound. This is pretty outstanding for a debut effort. Great guitar sound. These guys are from Detroit, so you know they’re tough. The mood they create reminds me a bit of the DANDY WARHOLS. Really great shit here.” –maximumrocknroll
