For all you kitty lovers out there (and that is in no way a sexual pun), Waskerley Way presents the new EP, "Cat Music." It's a smooth, groovy, little electro-jam session reminiscent of Washed Out, and with track titles like "Cat Alert" and "Nerd Cat," i think you can see where he's going with this. It's very good. Download the whole thing for free right here.
One of my favorite shows returns on September 26th. I've been pining for some new "Eastbound and Down" for a long while. The recent K-Swiss ads just aren't enough. So, here's a picture of Marilyn Manson dressed as Kenny Powers. It's a bit distressing i know, but i guess even has-been media whores like good comedy.
With fuzzed-out, garage rock girl bands being all the rage for the last couple of years (see Dum Dum Girls, Best Coast, Vivian Girls, etc.), Art Fag Records will be releasing Costa Rican teenage girl rockers Las Robertas' LP, "Cry Out Loud" on October 12th. It's mixed by Jon Greene (Dum Dum Girls, Crocodiles, etc.), so my expectations are high. Bring on the girl rock.
It's super awesome that football's back, but my teams have to stop looking like shit. C'mon man!
Relapse Records present the latest in their 7" series from stoner metal aficionados Baroness. The record was produced by John Congleton (oh he of Paperchase glory), and the B-side is a cover of an old Descendents song. You'd be stupid not to own this.
Twin Shadow will release a split 7" with Violens on Terrible Records (who released an awesome split featuring CANT and Arthur Russell last year) later this month. "Savannah Howl" is the track, and it's a dubby, sultry, burning, 80's influenced jam for the end of a summer night. Also, check out Twin Shadow's debut LP, "Forget." Listen to "Savannah Howl" below.
And...we're back. Did a whole bunch of stereotypical New York stuff, ate some awesome food, walked and walked and walked, museums, drinks, a Colbert Report taping, a Beecher sighting (Lee Tergesen from "Oz"), more awesome food, and came to the conclusion that New Yorkers aren't as rude as they're made out to be.
Modern pop guru Panda Bear will be releasing the 2nd in a series of 7" records in October from Domino. This one contains "You Can Count on Me" and "Alsatian Darn." Limited to 500 copies. Pre-order the sucker here. Holla!
Today is 90210 day. Pretty sweet, huh? Dylan McKay says you should go celebrate...and then he broods some.
Hello fellow campers. I'll be heading out of town for a few days to take a gander at the Big Apple. I'm gonna go see the sights (the Empire State Building, the MOMA, the corner alley where Dee Dee Ramone blew a dude for some Chinese Rocks), take in the atmosphere (Jewish delis, Wall Street dickheads, tourists tourists tourists, Hurricane Earl), and hopefully come home with a few records. Counting down to Friday.
