Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.furious.com/perfect/index0223.html>, you'll find (among other things):
MIGHTY LEMON DROPS
Interview: UK psych post-punk, by Pete Crigler
"In 2022, Cherry Red Records released a five-disc anthology of The Mighty Lemon Drops. You remember them, right? Songs like "Inside Out," "Into the Heart of Love" and "Where Do We Go from Heaven?" The label put out 'Inside Out: 1985-1990' collecting the band's first three records and numerous B-sides, live stuff and demos on November 2022."
THE REPLACEMENTS
Interview- Slim Dunlap speaks, by John Wisniewski
"Bob Dunlap was a Minneapolis fixture who played in indie rock bands and worked at the fabled First Avenue club before he was asked to join the Replacements in 1987, after Bob Stinson was fired from the group, playing alongside founders Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Chris Mars. Rechristened as "Slim," he toured and played on the final two 'Mats albums, 'Don't Tell A Soul' (1989) and 'All Shook Down' (1990). After the 'Mats imploded, he joined the Georgia Satellites and did his own solo albums."
SOUL ASLYUM
Interview: Twin Cities indie, pre-grunge, by Pete Crigler
"For a while, from about 1992-1996, Soul Asylum were inescapable. Through the efforts of songwriter/singer Dave Pirner and powerhouse guitarist Dan Murphy, the band made some of the greatest songs of the era. Coming up in the Minneapolis punk scene of the eighties and hooking up with the legendary indie Twin/Tone, the band had paid their dues by the time success came calling in 1992 and they lived up to the hype."
MATTHEW SWEET
Power Pop Transcendence, by Kurt Wildermuth
"On 'Kimi ga Suki * Raifu,' nearly every song raises the stakes. It's Sweet's most consistently strong and memorable batch of songs since Girlfriend. The lyrics may not be genius, but they include no lapses."
We also have a Spotify playlist with most of the artists above here:

We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
