.@slowdiveband's first new album in 6 years is a triumph. They enhance their signature sound with modular synths without detracting from their beautiful guitar reverb & hushed vocals. "everything is alive" is out now on LP & crystal clear vinyl. Buy it: bit.ly/2o4eweJ

Video killed the radio star, but vinyl records may yet outlive CDs. Vinyl albums outsold CDs last year for the first time in 35 years, according to a new report by the Recording Industry Association of America. on.wsj.com/3T64bKS

Lee Perry, RIP, innovator, alchemist, mad scientist. He used the recording studio as an instrument & enshrouded his tapes with ganja smoke, but his dub mixes were like a drug in themselves. In this set, he imitates a lion @aaroncohenwords @Coda_Collection codacollection.co/films/live…
