					<description><![CDATA[Tonight was my first time back at The Castro since the controversial renovation, which turned it from a classic Art Deco repertory movie palace into a classic Art Deco live music venue. I begrudgingly admit that they did an excellent job. The concessions moved from the lobby inside the theater, the bathrooms improved dramatically, and &#8230; <a href="https://spinningplatters.com/show-review-melanie-c-with-sur-beck-and-lady-camden-at-the-castro-9-22-26/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Show Review: Melanie C with Sur Beck and Lady Camden at The Castro, 9/22/26"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It’s been just under a decade since I first saw Peter Hook and the Light prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they’re more fun than New Order. I’m not here to rag on New Order; they’re doing their thing the way they want to do it, but the fact is that there’s a &#8230; <a href="https://spinningplatters.com/show-review-peter-hook-the-light-at-the-hollywood-palladium-los-angeles/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Show Review: Peter Hook &#38; The Light at the Hollywood Palladium (Los Angeles)"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How have I not written about Lambrini Girls yet? This generation&#8217;s finest political punk band has gifted us yet another mosh-friendly jam. An earworm assault on the senses that could, potentially, make its way to mainstream alternative radio in the States if programmers were willing to take the chance.&#160; &#8220;Bang Bang Bang&#8221; is the first &#8230; <a href="https://spinningplatters.com/single-of-the-week-bang-bang-bang-by-lambrini-girls/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Single of the Week: &#8220;Bang Bang Bang&#8221; by Lambrini Girls"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Regular followers of Spinning Platters will notice that we largely ignore dance music. Why? Because I strongly dislike electronic dance music. Yet, somehow, I&#8217;ve gone to Portola twice and had a fantastic time both times I went. And this year looks exceptionally good. Why? Well, it might be due to the significant number of Swedish &#8230; <a href="https://spinningplatters.com/portola-2026-the-weekend-sweden-took-over-san-francisco/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "PORTOLA 2026: THE WEEKEND SWEDEN TOOK OVER SAN FRANCISCO"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a long time since we&#8217;ve gotten a new Carissa&#8217;s Wierd cut. They last dropped a 7&#8243; in 2011 and faded away as emo bands do. But, since everything that&#8217;s truly good comes back again, Jen Champion and Mat Brooke are back together with an absolutely stunning single, &#8220;No One Lives Here Anymore.&#8221; &#8230; <a href="https://spinningplatters.com/single-of-the-week-no-one-lives-here-anymore-by-carrisas-wierd/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Single of the Week: &#8220;No One Lives Here Anymore&#8221; by Carrisa&#8217;s Wierd"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Stones Throw Records really doesn&#8217;t get the credit it deserves. They started out as a hip-hop/funk label, but lately have been pumping out some of the best &#8220;under the radar&#8221; bangers that seem to defy genre in almost every way. The latest is &#8220;Feelin&#8217; Wee&#8221; by Japan&#8217;s Kiko Mizuhara.

					<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Cahokia&#8221; is a brilliant track that hearkens back to the classic era of 90&#8217;s britpop&#8230; Greg Freeman has definitely studied Supergrass, Super Furry Animals, and the greatest britpop band to come from Portland, OR, The Dandy Warhols. Great melodies and hooks, psychedelic flourishes, all compressed into a brilliant 4 1/2 minute pop song.&#160; &#8220;Cahokia&#8221; is &#8230; <a href="https://spinningplatters.com/single-of-the-week-cahokia-by-greg-freeman/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Single of the Week: &#8220;Cahokia&#8221; by Greg Freeman"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dafoe delivers award-worthy turn in contemplative look at youth, art, and aging&#160; Based purely on its trailer, you’d be forgiven for thinking Late Fame is some sort of smug takedown of pretentious Gen Z and young millennials, something along the lines of Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young.
