RIP Ray Manzarek, remembered by Exene Cervenka and John Doe of X.

Is Mikal Cronin the best pop songwriter in San Francisco?

The latest in free downloads: Adult Swim’s excellent Garage Swim compilation, a collection of Feelies live covers, something off the latest by Canada’s These Estates, unreleased Arthur Russell and a track from Sophie’s Dream.

The Buzzfeed piece that uses my mug can be found here. Oy.

Still reeling from the news Flaming Lips drummer Kliph Scurlock used to be in Panel Donor!
