Julian Lynch

Just picked up this awesome 7" by Julian Lynch from Underwater Peoples. Lo-fi dreaminess recorded in a basement. It's sold out from the label, but you can probably procure yourself a copy through other means.

Where The Boys Aren't

I'm very tired. But, this is pretty cool. The nice people at Aquarium Drunkard are putting together a mix tape. Check out the cover of "You're No Good," by Frankie Rose and The Outs. Good night everybody.

Black Mountain

The boys and girls of Black Mountain return on September 14th with their newest LP, "Wilderness Heart" from our friends over at Jagjaguwar Records. Aside from the awesome album art, the new record is full of the 70's stoner metal stomp we've all become accustomed to. So, light up, put on your giant headphones, and turn on the black light in your room, or pop in an 8-track, start up the Trans Am, and get high on the open road. Sweet.

The Age of Adz

Sufjan Stevens returns with a new album in October (November for the vinyl) from Asthmatic Kitty. From what i understand, it's pretty synthesizer heavy, so i guess that's good for people like me. Hooray!

Fiveng

Not quite ready to put those summer jams to bed yet? Of course you're not. It's like 100 degrees outside. Anyway, check out the debut 7" from Fiveng (Nicholas Ng) from Beachtapes. Or go to Mr. Ng's bandcamp page to download both the single and the B-side for free. Hooray!

Oh, and while i realize that pre-season football is just a cock tease, i'd be remiss if i didn't say this: FOOOTTTBBBAAALLL!!!

Prince Rama and Sun Araw

Crazy psychedelic haze makes its way to us from Brooklyn trio Prince Rama. The Gang Gang Dance, but with more focus on the tripped out psychedelia and less on the tripped out beats. They're full length comes out September 14th from Paw Tracks. You should be able to pre-order. Also, go here to pick up the mp3 for "Lightening Fossil," and a bitchin' remix of "Storm Worship" by the always foggy and far out Sun Araw (that's war anus backwards).

Ducktails III

New Ducktails record! New Ducktails record! New Ducktails record! Look for it on Woodsist Records! Hazaa!

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Thinking about catching this classic at the Starving Art Mini Drive-in on Thursday. Bosomy chicks drive around in fast cars and kick the shit out of dudes. Sweet.

Here's some info.

J. Biebz

So, many of you may be looking at the picture above and thinking to yourselves: A) who the fuck is that kid? or B) Justin Bieber? Tommy's lost his damn mind. Either of these thoughts would be correct, except the the Biebz is cool. That is, he's cool when you slow his song, "U Smile" down 800%. Rather than getting a DJ Skrewed version of a tweeny-bopper darling, you get a sprawling, ambient jam that sounds like the ocean. Seriously, it's like some lost B-side from Sigur Ros. Go here to listen and download. I'm totally serious on this one. It's cool.

Piranha 3D: A Review

So, what could i possibly say about "Piranha 3D," one of the funnest, goriest movies i've ever seen? I'll sum up my review in two words: FUCKING AWESOME.

If that's not a shining endorsement, then i don't know what is. Oh, and evidently Joe Francis (the Girls Gone Wild douche bag) is threatening to sue The Weinstein company for defamation of character. How does one defame the character of a pornographer? I'm not sure either.
