On the Dial | Cate Le Bon

I was first introduced to the wonderful Cate Le Bon over the summer. I was entirely unfamiliar with her music before the show, but was quickly won over. She's got a new EP, Rock Pool, dropping in January.

On the Dial | Reclusive New England

I recently returned from a trip to Maine. I had never been before and it seemed like a good place to lay low after the election results. Check out two fantastic documentaries about reclusive farmers in the same region.

On the Dial | Erick Lyle's SCAM

'SCAM' was the name of a zine put out by Iggy Scam, née Erick Lyle, some of which was later assembled into the terrific collection, On the Lower Frequencies: A Secret History of the City, published by Soft Skull in 2008. Lyle is an artist and activist, who spent a good chunk of time organizing punk shows, protests against the city of San Francisco's housing policies, against the war, railing against Reagan, passing out clean needles or vegetarian food, and generally fighting the good fight.

Sean Ford's debut graphic novel, Only Skin, follows a young woman named Cassie and her brother Clay, whose father has disappeared in the forest outside an unnamed town. Their father, Sam, was estranged from his children after a messy affair, and they arrive to care for his service station in his absence, possibly make amends, and, hopefully, find him.

On the Dial | Small Beer Press

Small Beer Press is one of our most rebellious, zany, and frequently impressive publishers. Another mom-and-pop shop, Small Beer was founded and is run by Gavin Grant and Kelly Link, who embody the spirit of indie publishing in so many ways.

On the Dial | The Midwest

The Midwest is so uniquely forgettable and necessary. I recently read an essay at Vol. 1 Brooklyn by Anne Valente which highlights her decision to write and not write about the Midwest.

On the Dial | 'Ruminations' by Conor Oberst

I've been a Conor Oberst fanboy since I was old enough to discover my own music and burn my own CDs. Oberst is undeniably one of the most prolific songwriters of our time. His latest solo album, Ruminations, just dropped.
