my best friend likes to tell me i enjoy listening to noise. sometimes, it's not always true. i'm really diggin' this just released video for a right to create music's own Kipp Stone. this track is just one of the 27 songs he put out on a trilogy release with label mate, and sometimes rocker, Thaddeus Greene.

you can get that HERE.

i also think it's fitting that being from cleveland, he's wearing a university of leeds hoodie. especially since i was just there for a night last september, with the same best friend & ended up taking pictures lying down in the street. yeah.

it's very sunny.

2012-03-01T20:54:00.010-08:00

imagine if the beach boys & pulp took a bunch of lo-fi soaked lsd in a fluffy room then decided to have a jam session. if you can imagine that, then you can imagine what san diego's Heavy Hawaii sounds like. they just released their slightly odd video for "Super Bowl XXIX", a 3 song 7" released this past january via the awesome Art Fag Recordings.

basically, this is the stuff you sway your pantless hips to. oh so good.

in firmly believing that you always have great bands right in your own backyard, i've been indulging in texas sounds like no other ever since i've returned home. Wicked Poseur are two houston dudes creating a hodgepodge of post punk, garage & a good dose of the teenagers-esque electo tunes then cramming it into an awesome package for our listening pleasure.

they also managed to get the room's own Tommy Wiseau to lip synch in their video they put out last fall. and he turns into a werewolf. i'm not kidding. you can catch that HERE.

psychotic reaction.

2012-02-27T16:45:00.006-08:00

last november i went to go check out austin's own, Gauche, at one of the fabulous parties Frock On Vintage throws every now & then. my mother was in town visiting & being her up for anything self i took her along to the show. with a band that describes themselves as 'beach high weirdos playing stomp around rock n roll', it's no wonder this radical quartet had her shaking her stuff in no time.

if you happen to be in town for sxsw then be sure to catch them again thursday march 15th / 3 pm @ Frock On Vintage.

aye please.

2012-02-23T09:32:00.007-08:00

scotland has really been tugging on my shirt as of late, probably it's forces trying to get me to come back as soon as possible. so when i do go back, i've decided i'd definitely spend a bit more time in glasgow - then i'd be sure to catch glazed donut loving band, Schnapps. if you're in the mood for a little fuzzy garage pop tinged with a bit of dirty sex then i suggest you give their brilliantly titled album, nasty buffet, a go. the lead singer also happens to be the king of haggis over at El Rancho Records.

we'll go unseen.

2012-02-22T14:01:00.000-08:00

very sad news that Christopher Reimer, guitarist for one of my favorite bands ,Women, died in his sleep yesterday. he was only 26.

in a small way, i hope this ends their silly hiatus as they're a great fucking band.

i'll have a jug of everything.

Egyptian Rats by Paint Fumes

I Want To Fuck All The Girls In My School by Bazooka

i cannot seem to get enough of reno/amsterdam based label Slovenly Recordings. putting aside the fact that they released two of my favorite albums last year from Acid Baby Jesus & J.C. SATÀN, they're also home to great bands such as Los Vigilantes, The Spits & Thee Oops.

however recently i've really been diggin two ep's set to be released this march. one from grungy charlotte, north carolina trio, Paint Fumes. the other from athens, greece homeboys Bazooka, who are a four piece containing two drummers (one of them being john vulgaris who produced the acid baby jesus album!) both of these bands show why they (along with slovenly) are keeping garage punk alive & well. seriously, don't sleep on either one of them. i'm enjoying these with my morning coffee so loud that i know my banjo playing neighbor is going to stomp the floor soon.

and as a special treat, if you're looking to get even dirtier, then check out what some of members of Bazooka are also getting into: Gay Anniversary.

the word hurricane.

2012-02-02T06:14:00.000-08:00

if you're into scuzz/garage/lo-fi/surf rock/post-punk, etc then i HIGHLY suggest coming to melbourne. seriously. there are so many fucking good bands coming out of here at the moment it's insane. so if you can't make it here, then at least start paying attention.

tonight i went to check out sydney's Step-Panther at the gasometer. while it's obvious that people at venues here know what they're doing when it comes to sound, this band did everything they could to ensure they helped keep it LOUD. they had a total 70's stoner rock vibe going on but it was almost as if they channeled a little bit of a mellow sex pistols during their set. a winning band in my book. (not to mention, they let me know where to score the cheap tecate!)

however, i have to say that the real show stealers here were melbourne duo Ross De Chene Hurricanes. they were a heavy mixture of no age & ty segall yet kept it fresh with a sound all their own. consisting of only a guitar, drums & the occasional tambourine on a cymbal - these guys affirm my belief that bands here are much better live then on recording. so if you live in melbs, then get to whatever dirty bar they're playing at next.

the rivalry continues.

2012-01-30T05:29:00.000-08:00

speaking of the pastels.....

while everyone is all up in arms as of late how lana del rey's 'video games' ripped off some greek song, tonight i was thinking that glasgow's The Pastels 'thank you for being you' (1993) might have ripped off london's Moose 'last night i fell again' (1991). which in this case is totally ok because both of the latter songs are great!

give 'em both a listen & be the judge for yourself.

p.s. - if you actually know who moose is please feel free to send me an email because you must be cool. and if you actually own their ep 'sonny & sam' (which i heavily think rivals mbv's loveless for the best shoegaze album of all time) then feel free to send me a marriage proposal in that email as well.

italian stallions.

2012-01-30T03:43:00.000-08:00

today i was very much enjoying this track from italian trio, Brothers In Law. formed in 2011 & with influences ranging from sonic youth, wavves & the pastels (scottish awesomeness!), they'll be releasing their first three song ep on february 13th.

i have a feeling pitchfork is gonna be all over this soon so get on it before they do!

let's stay in bed.

this winter mix (for those of us that live in the states) was technically ready back in mid december, but while uploading it i managed to delete my entire music library on my pc. ALL OF IT. then christmas happened, this trip to oz came about, my laptop wasn't working, etc - you get the picture. but better late than never right?

so, enjoy it. makes babies to it. or maybe even figure out how to get my music back to it!

Aquatic Life by Pets With Pets

i've been going to so many gigs this past week, i've forgotten to update you all! last wednesday i went to check out Witch Hats at the workers club & i have to say that actually hearing "sessa" live was so fucking worth it. these guys were absolutely awesome & the sound was impeccable.

not to be outdone, the band they opened up for, Pets With Pets, were like animal collective on acid. and i'm sure you're asking yourself, can it really get more crazy than ac? and the answer to that is YES. so you austin folk get ready to have your faces melted off because these guys are gonna make a few SXSW appearances.

plus, you know when john dwyer (lead singer of thee oh sees) shows up to your gig then you must be doing something right. plus, he was quite the gentleman who kept calling me a little lady!

i don't have time for you girl.

2012-01-21T17:32:00.000-08:00

you know that old saying that one good thing leads to another? well that was exactly the case when i when i went to check out the amazingly good Rayon Moon last night at pony.

one of the opening bands was the devastatingly handsome Bidet Mate. i was pretty much sold after only hearing the 2 tracks listed on their bandcamp, but these guys are even better live. all over the place screaming lyrics, screeching guitars, out of control drum pounding - it was beer guzzling awesomeness.

oh, and if you're homophobe you might want to skip the 2:11 part in the video. i however thoroughly enjoyed it.

la musique de la mer.

2012-01-19T05:51:00.000-08:00

let me just start off by saying that when i saw this new video from parisian Arch Woodmann, i literally started crying. no joke.

maybe it was because the song was so heartfelt. maybe it was because it was based around my favorite time of year. maybe it was because he also has a great album called mighty scotland, which i'm very much missing at the moment. or maybe it had to do with the entire bottle of red wine i just enjoyed.

whatever the reason, this is really good stuff. i can always appreciate a man that's described as a mix of sun kil moon & do make say think.

teen dream.

2012-01-15T23:31:00.000-08:00

what the hell are they putting in the water up there in illinois? whatever it is, it's making the guys, ahem, teenage boys up there kick ass in the music department. which brings us to seventeen year old Baby Chuck.

after listening to his just released soulful, yet infused with a heavy guitar 10 minute ep, it made me realize he far surpasses his stage name. they sure didn't have dudes like this when i was a young girl.

miserlou.

2012-01-10T01:21:00.000-08:00

Rayon Moon II by Rayon Moonif dick dale was on methamphetamines, he would probably sound just like melbourne's Rayon Moon. basically these guys are a fun blend of lo-fi garage surf rock - just the way i like my bands!

and if you happen to be in the fitzroy area next thursday (jan. 19th) then be sure to check them out at laundry for Surf Rock Night 3!

the golden dawn.

2012-01-09T04:35:00.000-08:00

i've anxiously been awaiting the new ep, rock & roll night club, from canada's Mac Demarco, who used to record under the moniker of Makeout Videotape. (the ep will be released by the digustingly amazing Captured Tracks label to which he was just signed.) in the meantime, i've had his video from his last lp on heavy rotation, which makes me think that men should be the ones in the kitchen. in some weird, silence of the lambs type of way.

you can also check out a track from MV on my mix HERE.

head on.

2012-01-06T06:51:00.000-08:00

Remember When by The Orwells
i can't tell you how awesome it was to come down to oz & have this sixteen year old band from elmhurst, il. send this to my inbox. these guys are SIXFUCKINGTEEN.

one of the dudes from The Orwells are going to have to turn 18 soon so i can marry one of them. already having 3 lps out, this band has enough lyrics & guitars to last them a lifetime.

make sure to check 'psychopath' & 'no ticket' from their debut album head. and i swear if 'never ever' from their recently released remember when album doesn't scream an old souls relationship, then i don't know what does. (and their 2nd lp oh well! is awesome. starts awesome! ends awesome!)

baby it's just you & me.

2012-01-04T01:19:00.000-08:00

since i'm playing a bit of catch up here, i wanted to let you all know how much i adore san fran's The Sandwitches as their 2011 album, mrs. jones cookies, was one of my favorites of the year. always full of garage soul, here's their most recent video (which i had on repeat enough times to annoy any boyfriend) & it's just sexy enough to match their little hussie attitudes.

c'mon sonnnnnnnnnn.

2012-01-02T23:42:00.000-08:00

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Thuggin' by Rappcats

hip hop doesn't get a lot of play on this blog but i tell you what, when i do want a little something - i'm a total stones throw girl. so i've really been diggin' the recent ep, Thuggin, and a track which shares the same name, from Madlib & Freddie Gibbs. (even though this was techincally released on madlib's madlib invazion label)

so when Freddie isn't busy getting his weed bags overlooked by TSA, these guys will hook up to release a full length sometime early this year.

happy new year!

2012-01-01T23:18:00.000-08:00

Super 8 / Fire in the Sky 7" by Year of the Bear
sorry i've been out of touch for a bit folks. i'm currently in australia where my laptop decides it doesn't want to upload...ANYTHING. so, just when i decide to get things swinging on this blog the updates might be a little sporadic until february.

but with that said, the following track is from another ft. worth band called Year of the Bear. i was actually able to see these guys play their first show back in november & i literally had to get up from the back of the venue to the front to see what strange type of psychedelic sounds were blaring at me. while this first released song channels a bit of joy divison, this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what this band does live. so be on the lookout for their debut album which i hear is in the works & will no doubt be killer.

holy other.

2011-12-21T01:02:00.001-08:00

Colourfornia from Nick Thompson on Vimeo.

while i normally steer clear of this guy's work, i thought it was almost too perfect that scottish born calvin harris's 2007 track 'colours' was the anthem for the 2012 aussie festival, summadayze.

apparently this promo video was shot in a melbourne warehouse using incredibly gorgeous non-models celebrating holi, the hindu festival of colours. if these are non-models down under, i should stick my head in the sand now!

where the west begins.

2011-12-14T09:20:00.000-08:00

Skeleton Coast - Young

being fort worth born & bred, i will always have a special place for it in my heart. while a lot of people want to bag on it being a lame city, it has actually become very cool over the past few years.

case in point, take this young, upcoming ftw band Skeleton Coast who sound like a ethereally vocalized my bloody valentine & panda bear took a day at the beach.

started up in 2009 & without even so much as a debut album, these guys constantly seem to play around town bringing a bit of distorted psychedelia to the place. and from the video above, apparently house parties or songs written about clueless hipsters are not off limits either.

china is here mr. burton.

2011-12-12T12:15:00.000-08:00

The Offset: Spectacles LP by 憬觀:像同叠

i love when great asian bands come around. especially when ones like The Offset Spectacles, who moved from hong kong to a self secluded exile in a suburb of beijing, come around. a heavy influence from the velvet underground is apparent in their debut album, but what makes it stand out is it's sung entirely in cantonese, doesn't contain a hint of drums & forgoes over produced effects while letting the amps doing most of the talking.

(track 5 'the loop swing' is on repeat right now!)

2011-12-05T18:55:00.000-08:00

Vinyl Williams - Stellarscope

i really wouldn't know where to begin describing california bred Vinyl Williams (aka lionel williams) album, lemniscate. it goes everywhere from being sexy psychedelic krautrock, to the right amount of noise blended bedroom pop all the way to a dark ambient soundscape.

so, forget all that shit i just used to describe it & give it a listen because it's kind of amazing.

czesc! czesc! czesc!

2011-12-04T20:35:00.000-08:00

Surfin' Małopolska by Kaseciarz

i think it was only fitting that since i was talking polish politics over beers last night that i listen to Kaseciarz today, hailing all the way from kraków, poland. while their new album is strictly instrumental its sounds range from groovy surf jams, to distorted garage to a bit of sample heavy guitar drone. i highly recommend tracks 3-5 here!

basically, the entire album is really fucking good & with the language barrier - who needs vocals?

most triumphant.

2011-12-03T11:37:00.000-08:00

Assassins 88 - Wildwood Girl

beach people was the perfect title for the most recent ep from canberra australia duo, Assassins 88. (and you can dl it for free - what beach bums wouldn't love that?!) since it's well on it's way to summer down under, this is the perfect blend of lo-fi surf rock to accompany it.

i can't be apart from your love.

2011-12-02T11:17:00.000-08:00

Bronson - Purpose

i'm pretty sure that if i heard this track performed live by washington bedroom crooner, Bronson, my heart would instantly break into pieces. he just released his new album last week which you can buy/stream on his bandcamp if you're in the mood for something a bit more serene.

pretty baby.

2011-12-01T19:55:00.000-08:00

Alpine - Hands

if watching sexy, american apparel type models do strangely odd things like devour a roast chicken in the shower or have a kissing hand orgy sounds like your cup of tea, then you might want to check this video from melbourne's Alpine.

and you wait for hours.

2011-11-29T10:48:00.000-08:00

1. Thee Oh Sees - Gilded Cunt

slowing it down a bit for this mix since we're finally at the point of real fall weather. listen to it & makeout with someone you find incredibly cool.

enjoy.

2011-11-27T22:11:00.000-08:00

Isle Adore - Lazy

well, apparently australia wanted me so australia is going to get me. i'm leaving for melbourne on christmas day & i'm very excited to see what's happening down under.

in the meantime i'm heavily in love with this new fuzzy track from melbourne's own Isle Adore. be sure to check out their last ep there which had me thinking they were heavily in love with early animal collective/panda bear.

trailer park boys.

2011-11-21T20:41:00.000-08:00

even though you normally don't hear a lot of cool bands coming out of florida, The Jameses, manage to belt out enough garage pop to make you want to get out of your seat & shake it. while their debut album doesn't come out until next may, you can check their recently released video for the track '5th Dimension' from their 7" ep 'Caribou'.

teardrops are falling.

2011-11-17T22:16:00.000-08:00

Monster Rally & Rumtum - Raindrops

so apparently when you throw together two ohio beat producers, Monster Rally & Rumtum, you end up creating some sexy sampled sounds. this is just the first taste of what's to come from their ep, MR&RT, to be released next february.

i love you so much.

2011-11-14T10:18:00.000-08:00

not since jana hunter have i heard such an androgynously, sexy voice. on top of that, polish sweetheart, Ela Orleans, also manages to turn this former reggae tune into a hell of a distorted heartbreaker.

the golden age.

2011-11-10T17:01:00.000-08:00

His Clancyness - Carve A Peach

i've kept my eye on canadian stud, His Clancyness, ever since i put him on THIS lo-fi mix a couple of years back. (his woozy voice seems to get me everytime i hear it.) this track is taken from his recently released 7" split with another great canuck band, Shimmering Stars.

also, if you scroll down a bit on HC's blog you'll find a mix he made that makes me very, very happy.

picnic at hanging rock.

2011-11-09T09:50:00.000-08:00

Solarium Down the Causeway by Witch Hats
melbourne can go right ahead & keep teasing me like this.

although Witch Hats just released a new album a few weeks ago, i wanted to put up their 2009 ep because i found it downright brilliant. tracks 3-6 are key here, but if you only listen to one thing i must urge 'sessa' as it's a post punk wet dream. i mean i really like to put that track on LOUDDDDDDD.

everybody daylight.

2011-11-07T11:29:00.000-08:00

The Orbweavers - Horseshoe Lake

melbourne is still sending those strong vibes. maybe it's telling me something amazing is there.

down under duo,The Orbweavers, recently released second album, loom, was the soothing compliment to this cool & grey day. fans of mazzy star, brightblack morning light & a little beach house would most definitely enjoy.

drink me.

2011-11-05T20:59:00.000-07:00

Connan Mockasin - Forever Dolphin Love

Connan Mockasin - It's Choade My Dear

today you get not one but two videos simply because new zealand's Connan Mockasin released one of my favorite albums this year. (also because i could never decide which one of these i liked better.) the album itself is a surreal, kooky collection of strange noises blended with oddly soothing vocals all while managing to make you feel warm & fuzzy inside.

basically, this is the stuff i like to makeout to.

the mess we're in.

2011-11-03T23:01:00.000-07:00

DZ DEATHRAYS - Rad Solar

with only 2 ep's under their belt (and heavily influenced by dfa 1979), brisbane duo DZ DEATHRAYS prove here that you don't have to have a lot to have a good time. my mosh pit days are long gone but i'd gladly stand by the drums like one smart lady in there.

p.s. - and THIS shows us why you don't drink jagermeister.

no one does it like you.

2011-11-02T18:06:00.000-07:00

J.C. Satàn - Your Place

if still sort of asleep, morning after sex, in a daze of bewilderment from the events of night before had a song, this is probably what it would sound like.

i don't think you would get much less from a band consisting of 3 french guys & 2 italian girls. though the above track is from their lp released last year, you can stream their latest album, hell death samba, here: J.C. Satàn.

hold the babies.

2011-11-01T17:08:00.000-07:00

Doldrums - Endless Winter

while texas has just started to show us it's perfect fall weather, canada's Doldrums wants to remind me how much i enjoy it when winter rolls around. a full hodgepodge of choppy beats, make sure to check his new ep, empire sound, released yesterday on the amazing no pain in pop.

they're hereeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

2011-10-31T19:03:00.000-07:00

Wounded Lion - Going Into The Unknown

in a span of less than 10 minutes downtown today, i saw a man in a large furry panda suit, a victorian lad on a two wheeled velocipede & a blind pirate with one leg who kept going around in circles. it was really more wtf than it sounds - kind of like this video from los angeles band Wounded Lion. it makes a disclaimer for the occult references but no references are shown that i can see. however, i could have just been thoroughly brainwashed unbeknownst to me.

happy halloween ya'll.

everything will be alright.

2011-10-30T21:50:00.000-07:00

i'm under the impression that melbourne is sending it's come to me vibes because i've really been digging Twerps new debut album, which you can stream in full above. just listen to that aussie croon on 'who are you' about his unappreciative lover & you'll understand why sometimes it's just best to move on.

i say times like that are the best to go somewhere new.

i always wanted more.

2011-10-28T16:25:00.000-07:00

Grand Trine - Here Comes The Night

i think my brain has been on a constant psychedelic trip as of late. might be why i enjoy this 2 1/2 minutes of mind altering sounds & images from montreal's Grand Trine.

far gone & out.

2011-10-27T12:37:00.000-07:00

Permanent Collection - Shoot The Shit

i'm highly convinced that san francisco's Permanent Collection (and former young prisms member) must be on handfuls of somas & klonopin. from his intoxicating muffled vocals, shoegaze ridden guitar sounds, the totally obscure not sure what it's supposed to mean video, to the not so matching song title. but somehow, he seems to make it all work.

stephen, this one if for you. and those nights that feel like absolute heaven....

sun sets. sun rises.

2011-10-26T00:42:00.000-07:00

so i have this really cool, multi-instrumentalist aussie friend (briefly mentioned earlier this year) who continues to amaze me with his plethora of musical projects. most recently he turned me on to his bass heavy, yet flushed with a kaleidoscopic haze band, grieve pde.

this is what you would listen to driving under a texas desert night sky. might be even more amazing to hear in the australian desert instead. makes me think i should check out the latter sooner than later just to compare. however, hearing it over a pint at a melbourne bar would more than suffice as well.

this could be the best.

i've been feeling very sassy this past week, which is definitely apparent by the songs i picked for this new mix. i started writing some of the tracks on scratch pieces of paper while i was abroad & found them tucked away in my suitcase a few days ago. this has definitely been of my favorite mixes to make in a awhile so i suggest you listen to this one - LOUD.

plus that last track did just about everything, in every way it could to me.....

fizzy lifting drinks.

i went to see the drums last night.

i thought of you when they played this song.

so now that i'm finally getting around to posting again, here's a mix that i made back in august for my best friends birthday. while we have very different tastes in music it seems when it comes to lady tunes, we arrive on the same page. this mix is splashed with a bit of northern soul, doo-wop & just a dash of 70's dance floor fillers.

even though this was made for a ladies pleasure, men not be afraid of this.

Chelsea Wolfe - Mer

if you melted portishead & marissa nadler vinyl records into one, then mixed it with black magic witches ashes you'd get chelsea wolfe's haunting video for mer. prepare for the spell casting.

Crock - Eat Your Hat Out

now this is more like it.

while i was in scotland, sometimes i heard so much donovan i thought my ears were going to bleed yellow. so to keep myself sane, from time to time i would blare a little Crock whenever i was alone.

born from sam coomes (quasi) & spencer seim (hella), their recently released debut LP, Grok, can border on a spaced out trip to the galactic edges of the psychedelic outerworld. the track above however, is an all over the place mess. but a really fucking good all over the place mess.

make sure not to ingest any lsd before you watch this video. or bunnies.

the scotland scenario.

Of Scottish Blood and Symphonies by bubblegumrecords

Kinds of Loneliness by bubblegumrecords

i just realized it's been over 2 months since i've posted. however, it's within good reason as i was busy running around scotland for the past month. i returned to the states last week & came to the conclusion that edinburgh is where you go for breath taking scenery, drink warm beer, eat deep fried haggis till you burst, walk up an insane amount of hills, pretend you understand people from glasgow, have your heart broken into a million pieces & see a few bands along the way. maybe the music goes along with the heartbreak? all summed up - it was one of the most amazing trips i've ever had.

speaking of bands, one in particular, edinburgh school for the deaf, caught my ear while i was on the prowl. i first found out about them when i heard them record additional vocals for some tracks & luckily i had the pleasure of seeing them live, along with crawling up the walls & putting the drums in the crowd, twice before i left. if you're in the mood for something a little bit scuzzy, soft-soft-loud & with just a tinge of sweet distorted vocals, then this is for you. i have a feeling that given a few more amps, the wall of sound coming at you would be incredible.

i'm back folks, at least for the time being anyway......

2011-08-13T11:58:00.000-07:00

Holy Other - Know Where

manchester based Holy Other is signed to tri angle records, home of other such blissed out acts like balam acab & clams casino. fresh off releasing a new ep this summer, here's a sketchy video for one of his hip tracks.

nothing like listening to a little dubby electronica to get your saturday afternoon going.

let's get....

2011-08-10T18:34:00.000-07:00

Oupa - Physical

here's a oddly ethereal new video from daniel blumberg (of yuck fame) to accompany his debut solo album being released next week. break out the kleenex, this dude obviously just got out of a relationship.

i am many sparks.

2011-08-04T17:51:00.000-07:00

it's been almost 8 years since british ambient pioneers, Plaid have put out an album. that will all change when they finally release their 9th, scintilli, on september 26th via warp records.

totally stoked they're hitting austin on november 16th, which is a very rare treat. make sure to check out their stellar new video containing the worlds most amazing creature.

you're in it now.

2011-07-05T16:07:00.000-07:00

austin born Pure X (formerly known as pure ecstasy) released their debut album today which is so kindly being streamed in it's entirety. perfect time for a little hazy jewel like this to come along & definitely worth the wait.

Eleanor Friedberger - My Mistakes

there's just something about eleanor friedberger that i can never get enough of. maybe it's because she can be so girly girl yet can still maintain that don't fuck with me attitude. i've seen this lady sip whiskey & call out dingy venues from on stage so i know these things.

blood dries darker.

2011-06-14T17:33:00.000-07:00

Blood Diamonds - Grins

it's killing me that i can nail the sample in vancouver's blood diamonds new track. but it's ohhhhhhhhhhh so good to put a little pep in your step.

the night was sultry.

2011-06-06T20:58:00.000-07:00

Melting Season - Beach Blanket

texas guys always find a way to bring it. and apparently this one is described as: getting philosophy degrees & recording bird sounds in chile. so here's a little tripped tune out for your sizzling summer courtesy of dallas's melting season.

lost in yonkers.

2011-05-28T20:43:00.000-07:00

tyler the creator - yonkers

you have to take notice when someone screams: stab bruno mars in his goddamn esophagus and won't stop until the cops come in.

besides having one of the best covers yet, tyler the creator's second album 'goblin' is shaping up to definitely be on my top 10 albums of the year. it's like this 20 year old kid has been smoking too much pcp while watching tales from the hood on repeat.

2011-05-23T16:00:00.000-07:00

Demdike Stare - Hashshashin Chant

this past weekend i went to visit a good friend of mine who also happens to be one of my favorite people in the world to discuss music with. so, it didn't surprise me one bit when i'm standing in the middle of his kitchen & he insists i watch this 6 minute video of wtf'ness from british duo Demdike Stare. only a musical act aptly named after a 17th-century witch would put out something this amazingly haunting. i don't even know what to do with myself after seeing this but....

i.cannot.stop.watching.

dientes de perro.

2011-05-09T16:38:00.000-07:00

with all of the screeching, spanish punk that portland, oregon's Magic Johnson is putting out, who needs to pay attention to any basketball finals going on?

you can dl their ep for a whopping $3 HERE. and i must say that 'landlord song' kind of grabs you by the cojones for a full 1:31 minutes.

super psyched.

2011-05-02T19:08:00.000-07:00

just now coming down after soaking up 3 days of scuzzy bands at austin psych fest. black moth super rainbow, atlas sound, crystal stilts, crocodiles, a place to bury strangers, prefuse 73 - the amazing list just didn't stop & all put on stellar sets. however, there were 2 acts i was very interested in seeing & surprisingly, they ended up being the best ones.

Bass Drum Of Death - Spare Room

Bass Drum Of Death - Nerve Jamming

mississippi's bass drum of death was by far the best performance of the festival. if their debut album cover tells you anything it means they came to party. it's a thrashing good time of garage drenched tunes which when played live, easily surpasses their recordings. besides, anytime a hot model-type girl gets topless at one of your shows, you know you're doing something right.

Dirty Beaches - Lord Knows Best

Dirty Beaches - Sweet 17

canada's alex zhang hungtai, better known as dirty beaches is a psychobilly dreamboat. his debut album, badlands, sounds like what a modern day eddie cochran would put out if he holed up & listened to the black angels 24/7. with lines like "lord knows best that i don’t give a damn about anyone but you", it pulls on your heartstrings a bit. placed against a cool, grey, sunday afternoon his performance was a nice calm to a crazy weekend & might i add very, very sexy.

raise your jazz hands.

2011-04-18T16:36:00.000-07:00

The Sea & Cake - Up On The North Shore

i almost forgot to blog about my favorite chicago darlings (and one of the best bands to makeout to) the sea & cake. their 9th album, which is only 6 tracks long, is being relased may 30th & by the sound of the first single - it brings that warm, soothing sound they've been giving us for the past 17 years.

the last days of disco.

2011-04-17T17:40:00.000-07:00

Maria Minerva - A Little Lonley

a little droned out electro/disco beat doesn't sound like it would mesh with an estonian chick declaring how she'll never find love because she's too fat & ugly. maria minerva is neither of the two she claims to be but somehow manages to make it all work. this is the kind of track you put on your best sequin outfit for & dance the night away.

you can count on me.

2011-04-03T19:51:00.000-07:00

Panda Bear - Tomboy (Live at Primavera Sound)

noah lennox is back & it sounds like he had a brush with the dark side. i'm loving every bit of this new album. tomboy comes out next tuesday but npr is letting you stream the entire thing HERE.

hey budddddddd, let's party!

2011-03-17T19:42:00.001-07:00

1. Let's Wrestle - I Won't Lie To You
2. Smith Westerns - Weekend

6. Oingo Boingo - Little Girls
7. Buzzcocks - What Do I Get
8. The Coral - Music At Night

13. The Willowz - Meet Your Demise
14. Ty Segall - Imaginary Person
15. Wu Lyf - Heavy Pop
16. Iceage - New Brigade
17. Yuck - Rubber

here's a little pop punk mix to get the sxsw weekend going. enjoy!

great danes.

2011-03-11T21:47:00.000-08:00

Iceage - New Brigade

i guess when you're a group of 17 year old danish punk dudes you can make a music video in kkk hoods, smoke out of bongs, crash shopping carts, & sword fight with pocket knives. all these shenanigans courtesy of copenhagen's iceage.

stay gold ponyboy.

2011-03-09T18:43:00.001-08:00

Monogold - Ivory Teeth Golden Tusk

Monogold - Spirt Or Something

so when i found out this hot little brooklyn trio, monogold had rented out my studio for sxsw i just had to see what all the fuss was about. what i found was lush, harmonic vocals with a swirling good time of pianos & hazy guitars for good measure. thanks to ole' faithful bandcamp you can snag their debut album, the softest glow for a mere $10.

if you'll be in austin next week they have three shows booked, which i personally think the best will be the BirdDog Promo Showcase @ Tito's House. makes me wonder which one of these sexy guys is going to be sleeping in my bed!

the golden arches.

2011-02-28T21:09:00.000-08:00

Arches - Headlights

words cannot even explain how enamored i am with this new album from philly's own arches. it's a simplistic slice of psychedelic pie that just begs for you to fall in love. you can stream the entire album on their bandcamp HERE.

i've been stuck on this like elizabeth taylor to husbands for the past week & imagine my surprise when the guys posted a julian lynch cover to their tumblr today. as if they weren't cool enough already......

saturday morning fever.

2011-02-24T18:14:00.001-08:00

Honeydrum - Saturday Morning

if a monotone indian drum circle with a splash of lo-fi is something you'd be interested in then you're going to love new jersey's honeydrum. and this is another band that's keepin' it real with the $5 cassette tapes!

fucked up friends.

2011-02-23T18:45:00.000-08:00

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Ffunny Frends

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Thought Ballune

this week i've been soaking up the r&b infused sounds from portland's unknown mortal orchestra. apparently ruban nielson, of the mint chick's fame, is the brains behind this project & while they tend to go down the noise pop road UMO's road is paved with a little more jamie lidell/tobacco.

well this really melts my butter.

2011-02-21T19:08:00.000-08:00

now if anyone could make my heart stop by covering 'agoraphobia' this would be the band. while this whole little session is fantastic, skip to the 9:50 mark to get to the goods.

insane in the membrane.

2011-02-03T20:20:00.000-08:00

Brain Idea - Days Blown Away

Brain Idea - One More Time

anyone who knows me knows i love my scuzzy, low fidelity tunes. this time it comes courtesy of chicago trio brain idea with tracks from their debut album, the survival scrolls.

so go ahead...get all rob gordon on it.

coming down the mountain.

Dirty Gold - California Sunrise

it's like you can almost feel a warm california breeze run through your veins when you listen to this track from west coast natives, dirty gold.

you are so young, a flame left from the sun.

2011-01-14T14:00:00.000-08:00

i literally stopped making out with my boyfriend (at the time) the first time i heard this song. honestly one the best goddamn bands ever. very surreal to know she's gone.

Akron/Family - So It Goes

now this is how you get a damn album released:

blow your deadline & ignore the numerous emails/text messages sent from your record label with pleas to finish an album. then out of nowhere send them a large brown box with the words "SHINJU TNT" scrawled across the bottom of it in black magic marker & the only return address being "AK, Detroit." then inside the box you put toy astronauts/dinosaurs, three pictures, a tracklist written in crayon & four blown out song fragments on a TDK CDR in a ziplock bag. a post-it on the bag declares that you refuse to send the full album to anyone but the vinyl pressing plant.

despite the numerous leaked versions of it on the internet as of late, akron/family's "S/T II:The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT" will be out february 8th on dead oceans.

this must be what heaven looks like.

2011-01-05T18:39:00.001-08:00

The Paper Boat - Smokers Can't Tell With Smell

The Paper Boat - We'll Write In Cursive With Satellites

No-Way Sweden - Sparks & Fireworks

No-Way Sweden - Streets of Catalonia

i had the pleasure of hosting a lovely aussie at my apartment a few months back who upon departing left behind some cd's of his for my listening enjoyment. one was of his solo work under the paper boat & one of of his band no-way sweden, both of which were released on the brilliant concept project 500 Dollar Limit.

i seriously wish i could create a "nofussmuss" music genre cause this is what i would tuck this under. nothing over the top or out of control, just blissful songs that make you feel....well.... blissful.

guys like this are what musical soulmates are made out of.

most likely you go your way (and i'll go mine)

12. Deerhunter - Desire Lines
13. Frankie Rose & The Outs - Little Brown Haired Girls
14. The Strange Boys - Dare I Say
15. Girls - Hellhole Ratrace

this mix really made me smile the whole time i was making it. mainly because some of the bands, not all of them mind you, are overdosed with pop flavoring therefore making them guilty pleasures that i wonder why i even bother in the first place. but what can i say? i can't help but tease myself & i keep going back for more. kind of funny since i feel the same exact way about the person who inspired this mix in the first place. so enjoy!

Teebs - Why Like This?

Teebs - Felt Tip

beautiful? sexy? easy as 123?

why yes it is. CA resident & Flying Lotus protégé, Teebs, released a silky smooth debut album, ardour, this past October on the brainfeeder label which is home to the likes of daedelus, gaslamp killer & samiyam. this is another artist that just missed the mark on my winter mix but no doubt it's pretty sexy stuff so check it.

shake it don't break it.

2010-12-15T17:08:00.000-08:00

The Stepkids - Legend In My Own Mind

being cut from my recent winter mix, i just had to post up my current obsession, connecticut's own the stepkids. recently signed to stones throw with a debut album out in april 2011, they're an amazing musical blend of psychedelic soul. basically if otis redding decided to go on a peyote binge out in arizona....this is probably what it would sound like.

i think of you more when it's cold out.

2010-12-01T16:47:00.001-08:00

Fiction - Zebra Crossing

with the year coming to end this track (and video), from london quartet fiction, are still one of my favorites to be released this year. from their 7" debut 'curiousity' they sound like a heavy heap of talking heads/early clash mixed with shitdisco.

now here's to hoping they blow up in 2011 with an actual debut album......

Apache Beat - Another Day

this track from the debut album of new york's apache beat gives you that warm feeling inside your chest like you just downed a bunch of makers mark. and i mean a lotttttttttttt of makers mark so take it easy here cowboys.

fun fun funnnnnnnnnnnn fest.

2010-11-11T17:45:00.000-08:00

James Pants - Darlin'

i've have my eye on this guy ever since he hit the scene in 2008 & he just gets cooler as the years go on. austin, texas native james pants keeps on keeping it real with this ultra fun tune from his soon to be released third album, love kraft, via stones throw.

(Hmmmmmm...wonder if he's a super furry animals fan?)

2010-11-10T17:12:00.001-08:00

Young Prisms - Sugar

when giovanni betteo, bassist/vocalist of san francisco quintet young prisms, was interviewed earlier in the year by a local blog they begged to ask the question:

What is the ideal setting for someone to hear your music?
Betteo: On the beach, late at night, setting off fireworks. You know, good times.

Soak up this new track (which is taken from their debut album 'Friends For Now' out Jan. 2011) & you'll see how much that rings true.

baby went to amsterdam.

2010-10-07T16:14:00.000-07:00

Vondelpark - Jetlag

since i'll be in Amsterdam next week i found it only fitting that i post up a little bit of SE London resident, Vondelpark. normally i would provide a link to forward you on to more of his ambient drenched beats, but without a myspace & very little info on him what you get is what you get here. what i do know is his debut album 'Sauna' will be out this month.

maybe it would be more fitting if i put this on my ipod & actually listen to Vondelpark while i'm in Vondelpark.

new york, newwwwwwwwwwwwww york.

2010-09-29T16:25:00.000-07:00

Crystal Stilts - Shake The Shackles

Magnetic Moon by Crystal Stilts

speaking of crystal stilts, even though they won't release their second album until sometime in 2011 they will release a new 7" via slumberland records late next month - side a & side b posted above for your listening pleasure.

sounds like someone has been overdosing on their joy division. this is monotone greatness at it's best.

i'll be on my own.

2010-09-15T17:41:00.001-07:00

Frankie Rose & the Outs - Little Brown Haired Girls

you have to be pretty goddamn golden if you're the ex-drummer for vivian girls, dum dum girls AND crystal stilts. so frankie rose took her golden self front & center to create frankie rose & the outs who's debut album is out next tuesday.

this is the kind of song you listen to really loudddddddddd in a convertible with your hair flowing in the wind.

stick with me & we'll claw our way to the top.

2010-09-08T17:23:00.000-07:00

Candy Claws - Sunbeam Show

Candy Claws - Catamaran

with labor day come & gone i feel my 2010 summer mix is forever bound in my sleeping beauty of a computer. (being that i still don't have it hooked up) so, looks like you're going to get some of the music from it that i've been holding since may, yes may, in blog form.

second track in got you feeling all warm & fuzzy with colorado's own candy claws. simply starting off as a duo they have now grown into a handful of 8 hippie banshees. break out the rain sticks & enjoy.

gonjakiller.

2010-09-01T16:20:00.000-07:00

The Gaslamp Killer (feat. Gonjasufi) - "When I'm In Awe"

with gonjasufi releasing one of my favorite albums this year (which also happend to be his debut to the world) & gaslamp killer just being an overall badass dj/producer it's without a doubt that this track off gaslamp's new ep would be amazing.

it's the perfect mix of gonja's haunting vocals & gaslamp's eerily sampled beats. almost like it's a little something extra just in time for an early halloween.

i want you back underneath my skin.

2010-08-11T17:23:00.000-07:00

No Age - Glitter

well....i just couldn't stay for very long. i can't promise the posts won't be far & few between but i'll always make an exception for no age.

this new track is from their upcoming album 'everything in between' being released next month. it reeks of a screeching sonic youth while still maintaining original coolness. give it a mariah carey whirl.

halt.

Dear Time's Waste - Blue & Gold

Dear Time's Waste - Clandestine

i love how whimsical tunes can put you in such a calm & chill place. so if this is something you'd be interested in doing then you can do so by listening to new zealand's dear time's waste. their debut album will be out this october & by their recent ep i have a feeling it's gonna be a good one.

summer days (and summer nights!!)
