Record Store Day info:

Coldcut – Sound Mirrors:

Sound Mirrors, the 2006 studio album from acclaimed duo Coldcut, was quoted as being “one of the most vital and imaginative records Jon Moore and Matt Black have ever made”, and saw the duo “continue, impressively, to find new ways to present political statements through a gamut of pristine electronics and breakbeats” (CITATION: Future Music, 2007). The fascinating array of guest vocalists included Soweto Kinch, Annette Peacock, Ameri Baraka, and Saul Williams. The 20th Anniversary reissue edition comes for Record Store Day 2026 and will feature eco-mix marbled 2LP with a mirror board printed sleeve.

Dallas Good + Richard Reed Parry – ‘Were “The Watchtowers”:

“Dallas Good (of the Sadies) and Richard Reed Parry (of Arcade Fire) had been collaborating on their album Were ‘The Watchtowers’ for over a decade until Dallas Good unexpectedly passed away in 2022. Dallas’ passing inspired Parry to find collaborators to help finish the album, including Neko Case, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Margaret Atwood (author of The Handmaid’s Tale). These are the final recordings of Dallas Good and a testament to his musical legacy. The album will be pressed on limited edition colour vinyl. The final track “Not in This World” features a chorus of Dallas’ friends and fans from around the world singing together on Dallas’ final piece of recorded music, a fan-sourced song that will part of this album exclusively available first at Record Store Day.”

Russell Simins – Rhynestone Podcast: NEW Interview!

Russell Simins interview on the Rhynestone Podcast with Banner Driskell, posted online on 19 January 2026*.

*recorded September 2025.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi0gqDBRy0M

“Russell Simins is the powerhouse drummer best known for driving the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, one of the most explosive and genre-smashing bands of the ’90s and 2000s.

With a style that blends punk ferocity, greasy blues swagger, and deep groove, Simins helped redefine what rock drumming could sound like. Beyond JSBX, he’s produced records, released solo work, and collaborated with a staggering range of artists — including Beck, Tom Waits, DJ Shadow, Yoko Ono, Mike D of the Beastie Boys, and Doctor John.

A fearless experimenter and lifelong music obsessive, Simins remains one of alternative music’s most distinctive rhythmic voices.”
