1. The New Weird Virtuosos Making Jazz for the Post-Internet Age. From our friend Andy Cush, there’s a profile of artists like DOMi & JD Beck (who also happen to be nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist) and how these amazing, young jazz players are mixing in the humor and viral potentiality of the online age to create a new following and very interesting music.
2. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees Announced. This year has a really eclectic list, from Willie Nelson, Missy Elliott, Cyndi Lauper, George Michael and Sheryl Crow, to Kate Bush, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden, The Spinners, A Tribe Called Quest, The White Stripes and Warren Zevon. Who got snubbed? Who should be next?
3. New music for 2023! Pitchfork released a rundown of a lot of music coming up in 2023. Too much to name, but check out the list. I’m looking forward to new albums from boygenius, The National, and Yo La Tengo.

Thanks for tuning in!
