All posts for the month March, 2015

I was holding off on posting this one cause it seems up Jim’s alley, but now I’m swooping in and putting it up. Loud loud LLLOOOUUUUDDDD pop(pish) punk, shame they’re calling it a day.

Generally speaking, I tend to be drawn to songs about specific places or times far more than, say, songs about some bro who had his heart broken during his sophomore year of college. Maybe that’s why this single by Animal Collective’s Avey Tare clicked with me right away. Or maybe it’s because it brings to mind the solo work of a certain one of his bandmates. Either way, I can’t stop listening.

I posted before from the new release of old Thee Speaking Canaries material titled Platter Base Must be Constructed of Moon Rock. When ordered, there was a bonus 7″ you could order with. Looks like they are running low on 7″s so they’ve moved to sell the 7″ separately.  Anyhow, this song from the 7″ is fantastic.

You might recognize Moses Archuleta from his day job drumming for Deerhunter. Here, his contribution to Geographic North’s “Sketch for Winter” series leads me to believe he might have had more to do with the ambient/stranger parts of Cryptograms and Weird Era Cont. than I originally suspected.

The plethora of special releases for record store day are starting to drip into the music news sites on a daily basis. There are many good looking releases including this one from Don Flemons. Oh, and who could resist this heart shaped 7″ from Father John Misty? But this track from Aquarian Blood popped into my feed today and i’ve got to say it’s great. Read more about it at Stereogum.

Record Store Day is April 18th in case I overlooked stating that simple fact.

Whooooo, boy, Pandora comes through big sometimes. Skeleton Coast put out their self-titled debut back in 2012, but I never heard them until just recently. “Untitled” closes out the LP, but the entire thing is worth your time and can be streamed at their Bandcamp site.

I don’t really seem to tire of these guys and their noisy recording methods. Neither should you. I’m glad I can help with such good advice on days like today.
