Alan Vega

With the aid of longtime collaborator Liz Lamere, the good folks at Sacred Bones are opening up the "Vega Vault" to unearth rare and unheard music from the late, great Alan Vega.  This should prove to be a fascinating endeavor as evidenced by our first taste, the electronic art punk of "Nike Soldier" from the upcoming "Mutator" LP recorded back in the mid-'90s.  Check the track out below and pre-order the record here.

Moon Duo - Jukebox Babe

Here's Moon Duo doing a really motorik, krautrock version of Alan Vega's "Jukebox Babe."  It bumps and kills.  Listen below and get the 7" here from Sacred Bones.

RIP Alan Vega

I have had to write way, way too many of these this year.  RIP Alan Vega, half of the legendary duo Suicide.  Even if you're unfamiliar with his work, someone that you listen to and love was absolutely inspired by him.  Listen to Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream" below.
