Schoolboy Q & Kendrick Lamar

Check out this bumping and beeping new jam from rapper and perennial pants-sagger Schoolboy Q.  "Collard Greens" features Kendrick Lamar and will be on the upcoming "#OXYMORON" album.  Listen below.

Washed Out - It All Feels Right

Just in time for summer, a lovely new jam from Washed Out.  Watch the kaleidoscopic, lyrical video for "It All Feels Right" below and look for the "Paracosm" LP in August from Sub Pop.

I Signori Della Galassia

"Iceman," the 1979 Italian space-disco/prog-rock/Italo-pop record from maestros I Signori Della Galassia just got the reissue treatment from Medical Records in all its booty-shaking, cosmos-streaking, nether regions glory.  A weird little gem, but a masterpiece in its own right, the album has been out of print for decades (and is already sold out from the manufacturer), which is a travesty.  Listen to "Proxima Centauri" below, and bask in the warm glow of galactic disco.

New King Khan and The Shrines

Oh happy day!  New music from King Khan is always a good thing, and it's been a long while since we last heard from The Shrines, so it doesn't matter what kind of mood you're in today, rest easy, make a cocktail, and jam to the soulful horns on the band's latest garage rock classic, "Born to Die."  Look for new album "Idle No More" in September from Merge.

Toy & Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes)

Speedy Wunderground Records will be releasing an excellent compilation of Iranian funk and psych rock next month, "Zendooni:  Funk, Psychedelia, and Pop from the Iranian Pre-Revolution Generation."  In conjunction with that release, the label is also putting out a 7" single of prog band Toy and Bat for Lashes front woman Natasha Khan's cover of Amir Rassaei's "The Bride."  It's pretty groovy.  Take a listen below, and you can pre-order the 7" here.

New music from Goat

The non-stop, tripped-out, world-psych assault of Sweden's Goat is finally making its way officially stateside with the band's first North American release, a 7" courtesy of Sub Pop.  Listen to A-side "Dreambuilding" below.  Hooray!

Nine Inch Nails - Came Back Haunted

As you probably already know, Trent Reznor has reformed Nine Inch Nails, and a new album and tour are in the cards later this year.  "Came Back Haunted" is the first new single.  Give it a listen below.  In the meanwhile, 16-year-old-Tommy will be doing a happy dance that NIN are back.

Action Bronson & Wiz Khalifa

Everyone's favorite Jewish Albanian New York rapper/sleazeball Action Bronson has a new EP, "SAAAB Stories," out next week via Vice.  Check out "The Rockers" below featuring Wiz Khalifa.

New Forest Swords

It's been a little while since we last heard from experimental sound collage artists Forest Swords (2010 to be exact), but they just sent out a new cosmic track into the ether.  "Thor's Stone" is the sound of uncovering a remote tribe in the jungles of somewhere, unmarked and unphased by the modern world and it's blinking lights.  Listen below.

CHVRCHES at Mohawk pics

Awash in a sea of hipster kids at least a decade my junior, i caught CHVRCHES and Still Corners at The Mohawk last night and both bands were lovely, though both seemed unprepared for the heat assault of June in Austin.  It was a great show, sold out and crowded, and even Ben Savage was there (Cory Mathews whassup!).  Check out some pics below.
