The new Deerhunter album is the gift that keeps on giving. “Living My Life” is the third video the band has released off of Fading Frontier, joining “Snakeskin” and “Breaker”.

The Icarus Line never really did much to top 2004’s Penance Soiree (which was, like, abnormally great) but they did just put out a new LP, All Things Under Heaven. “Solar Plexus” carries a bit of a Stooges swagger, and now has been given this strange video accompaniment.
I like the new Dirty Dishes album. But I hadn’t listened to their old stuff. This song. wow!
On the road so not much time to type something up about this… but it’s good. Real good.
Icky Blossoms put on a great live show. This is in studio, but it’s still so very good.
This popped up on my feed somewhere. Some shoegaze stuff from the way back machine.
You don’t need to make it too far into “1992” to guess where Beliefs take their influences from, but that doesn’t mean they can’t write a pretty damned good song anyways.
Don’t try googling a band named Boys. I’m pretty sure you’ll get something else mostly. But this is great haunting beach pop, reminiscent of the Ruby Pins.
The guest list on the upcoming Dressy Bessy LP reads like a festival bill: members of REM, Wild Flag, Minders, Pylon, and The Polyphonic Spree… and that’s just the first three songs! “Lady Liberty” starts the album off right, with a tight slab of power pop done right.
It’s a bit surprising that in my goal of posting whatever I can from the Downtown Boys that I would miss this super awesome video for Slumlord Sal. First of all, I love this song and it’s not radio safe. So a perfect one for the blog. But second and forever this video is just great!
