Arte Concert (a youtube channel by French-German TV station Arte, specialising in music/concerts....as the name suggests) uploaded the then-last Black Sabbath concert from Birmingham, 2017; and its great:
Here's a setlist.
Please note this will only be available until May 30, 2025.
As you surely have heard by now, Black Sabbath will play another gig in Birmingham this summer, with all original members (2017 was without drummer Bill Ward) and a massive list of guests – more info on that here.

And, as usual, a couple of new and recent releases:
New album by Basia Bulat, Canadian singer-songwriter — its quite pleasant
New album by Heather Nova, Bermudian singer-songwriter — it is also quite pleasant to listen to
New album by Motorpsycho, Norwegian prog rockers — with a fitting title, because it is very much very motorpsycho
New album by Lambrini Girls, English punk rockers — this is full of energy, rage and all that

I discovered it while watching Rudy Ayoub reacting to the music of his followers and it goes hard.
dude i have been going through their albums and dam near everything is so fucking boring to me (but i love droney music which is weird) but this cover is one of my favorite songs. I deliver mail, and this was in my headphones for like 9 hours one day LOL.
Garish is an Austrian indie rock band that I remember by name from the early 2000s but I dont think I ever listened to them back then. Now they've just released a new album, I saw it getting reviewed and decided to check it out – and its lovely! its very comforting indie rock, imagine music like a warm blanket.
I've also listened to some of their older albums and theyre nice too!
So here's a concert video as well:

Some new metal / shoegaze / alt.rock / blackgaze releases, all of which are very enjoyable
Benediction – Ravage of Empires
Envy of None – Stygian Wavz
Scowl – Are we all Angels
Deafheaven – Lonely People with Power (as also recommended by edin)
Caronte – Spiritus

New song by Pulp
With a new album coming June 6.
Edit/on a sidenote, I would usually never link anything AI-related and wanted to mention this video has some AI-generated parts, but when you watch it, you see theyre using that to riff on that kind of "content"; the video feels more like an appeal to eschew anything AI-generated (which is my stance, too, btw).

Is that chat pile in between melvins and dawntrail? how / what the hell is a 5x5 haha
5x5 = a collage of my most listened to albums in the last 30 days / April 2025. Yes the Chat Pile live album.
neat, how do you compile that? or is there something that keeps track? sorry i'm a straight up moron lol
Most people use last fm tracking to find out and then use topsters to do the 5x5 art. topsters is also useful for game 5x5 collages. I do the music 5x5 manually since I'm very album focused when I listen to music.
This has a dreamy, moody quality that makes me want to listen to it at night looking out the window.
Holy crap I didn't know Hello!Project has been slowly releasing their older discography on Spotify and YouTube. They were previously restricted to Apple Music.
It's mildly annoying that Buono's anime singles are not in but hey at least their best album track is now available.

This went down smooth. Highlights from my first listen: Call For Love, Elephant Clouds and Far We Come.
In memory of Brian WIlson, who passed away at 82; maybe listen to some Beach Boys today

here's another great article about Brian:
Whether wistful or euphoric, Brian Wilson made pop’s most overwhelmingly beautiful music
He was the Beach Boys’ resident genius, seeping melancholy into even peppy teenybopper hits. Beyond all the myths about his life, that brilliance is still intoxicating

Here's a reminder that the Arte Concerts Youtube channel exists
Currently they're uploading gigs from Hellfest, meaning lots of metal coming in.
Check here: Arte Concerts / videos and also on their livestream page, where they put some stuff.
Also, Rockpalast has concerts on Youtube too.: videos | livestreams
A lot of these are available for a limited time (until 2026, but still); so I recommend using ytdownloader to grab those you may want to keep.

New album release by Motörhead; a "lost" album that was recorded in 1976 but went unreleased:

Keeping with the theme of lost/forgotten albums, Bruce Springsteen released Tracks II, a collection of seven previously unreleased albums he recorded between 1983 and 2018. They were shelved for various reasons at the time.
He's also made a short documentary about these records:
