In the newest edition of "This Year's Week," I report on recent shows from M.J. Lenderman and M. Ward (pretty much all the M's), as well as a new release from Susanna Hoffs, and my trip to the Omaha Record Show. Make sure to watch until the end to see Blackie O and myself visit a cat groomer for the first time...
M.J. Lenderman is one of the most buzzed about indie artists of 2024. His new album, Manning Fireworks, is drawing comparisons to Neil Young and Paul Westerberg. Lenderman is featured on the newest Waxahatchee record, so he will be all over every critic's "best of" list for 2024. He played at The Waiting Room along with Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band.
Indie legend M. Ward returned to Omaha for the first time in 15 years for a show at Waiting Room. He's touring in support of a new greatest hits album. Shelley from RockNRollBookClub and I hit the very subdued show and enjoyed the music trip down memory lane.
Susanna Hoffs is releasing a new solo record, The Lost Record, on October 18. These tracks were being worked on at the end of the 90s, but were never completed once The Bangles reunion happened. Note that October 18 is the day it will be available to stream. The vinyl will be released at the end of November.
Susanna Hoffs also appears on the new tribute album to Jesse Malin called 'Silver Patron Saints.' She appears alongside Bruce Springsteen, Tommy Stinson, Billie Joe Armstrong, Ian Hunter, and many more. It's a fantastic collection.
After showing some pickups from the recent Omaha record show, I give my (a little less than) two cents on the break-up of Jane's Addiction.
At the very end of the video, come along with me and Blackie O to The Grand Feline Hotel & Salon. In 30 years of cat ownership, I had never been to a cat groomer. There's a first time for everything, folks.
