The days of Geronimo! are numbered. Check out this new single. This may be my favorite geronimo song yet? Hard to say but it’s good.

I was just listening to Elsa’s I Do EP about a week ago and wondering if they were still kicking around, and *huzzah* a new song from the band magically appears. If I’m being completely honest, this one hasn’t clicked with me yet, but they built up enough goodwill with their previous work for me to give “Never Come Down” a few more listens.
Seriously, though, you’ve heard I Do, right? What a great debut. Just enough dream in their pop, these kids.
There is so much great music out there. Here is some of that good music stuff the kids are all talking about.
Well isn’t this convenient timing? Jim just played the original “Davey Crockett” on the show this Sunday, and then Hinds (fka Deers, who released two of my favorite singles last year) go and post up their stellar cover of the classic.
Yesterday, I posted that Downtown Boys track. The youtube feed kept playing and Vacation came up. So I’ve been effectively marketed and i’m the happier for it. So here is a song about co-workers while I rue the vinyl purchases I am currently making.
Toronto noise strikes again.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND. Okay, I got that all caps yelling bullshit out of the way. Here is some new Downtown Boys. They have an lp coming out soon, and this is the first single from it. Watch for the new LP on Don Giovanni. The only totally sad thing is that they are touring with Screaming Females, but not when they reach Pittsburgh. Sad.
Let’s go Outback tonight. There’s been a ton of great live albums being pumped out lately, especially from Third Man and Castleface. Polyvinyl is throwing their hat into the ring with Snare Lustrous Doomings, a live Of Montreal LP with a tracklisting that reads like a greatest hits album.
Hop Along is a band I haven’t heard before. They have a new lp coming out on Saddle Creek Records, so I thought i’d give a listen to some of their stuff. I really like it. At first I wasn’t sure but I can’t stop listening. So I guess that’s a win. They seem highly influenced by Cursive which isn’t a bad thing. Anyhow, here is a track.
It’s just about that time of year for Thee Oh Sees to inevitably drop a new LP. “Web” is off Mutilator Defeated at Last, out May 18th on John Dwyer’s own Castleface Records. If the rest of the album follows suit, it seems like it will be of the Carrion Crawler/The Dream variety of Oh Sees burners, as opposed to their more Kinks-ian leanings featured on last year’s Drop.
…and if you were curious as to how “Web” sounds live, I’ve got some good news for you! Check out the video below.
