Daily Jam - There Are Worse Things I Could Do

Surfing around on Discogs the other day, i discovered that "Sandy Does Dallas," a compilation CD of "Grease" covers performed by a slew of Dallas area alt-rock bands from the '90s, had gotten the deluxe vinyl reissue treatment from NTX Records and their very cool DFW Legacy Series.  Basically the label is reissuing a bunch of Dallas area bands from the '90s and '00s onto vinyl for the first time.  The series includes releases from The Paper Chase, Hagfish, Doosu, and more so far.  Here's hoping they get around to doing UFOFU soon, notable for counting brothers Brandon and Ben Curtis (Secret Machines, School of Seven Bells, Tripping Daisy) among its members.  I guess for now, the band's cover of "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" will have to suffice.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Secret Machines

Next month sees the release of "The Moth, The Lizard, and The Secret Machines," the latest from New York based space rock band Secret Machines.  Work on the record actually began way back in 2010, but was shelved for awhile after the death of bandmate/brother Benjamin Curtis.  And now, it finally sees its completion.  Check out "The Finalizer" below and pre-order the album from the band here.

It's snowing in Central Texas today.  Has been since this morning, and it's actually coming down pretty hard and sticking too.  Wonderful.  Here's "First Wave Intact" from Secret Machines, our Daily Jam.
