Holy shit, this is exciting. Erase Errata is back! Unfortunately, I can’t embed the stream from their new album. But you can check it out at this link. And also, if you step out over there you will find an interview with singer Jenny Hoyston. Aren’t you excited? I am. I love Erase Errata.
Oh, wait, the History of Handclaps is on youtube and totally embeddable. From their new album then…
The Vaselines just played Philly. Evident via many of the post from my old WKDU friends in those parts. Anyhow, this is great of course. And today is a good day for it. My first day back to work post-surgery. One more stepping stone!
Marshall Allen, from the Sun Ra Arkestra. You’ll recognize his style. Pretty great stuff.
This is some pretty cool old live footage of ESG. The dancing kiddo is quite good. This video was posted with a couple other videos here. This quote from that post cracked me up:
I only saw them live once, myself — in 1990 or so at a weird hippie warehouse space in Manhattan called Wetlands.
I worked at Wetlands in the mid-1990s so know it pretty well. Mainly though, “weird hippie warehouse space” is a fairly accurate description.
Now this is just plain cool (via Bronx Banter). Full Talking Heads concert from 1980.
Thurston Moore has a new album coming out with John Moloney. I like the percussion emphasis and the slow heavy thing here. It’s a bit of a shift from a lot of what Thurston has done of late. I really, really like it.
It’s not a shocker that I love something from Phil Elverum and his band Mount Eerie. I kind of love everything. But this is upper echelon stuff. And the video is so Mount Eerie. From the upcoming LP.
I really enjoy this new song from Waxahatchee. Reminds me a bit of Mary Timony solo stuff in the verse.
Good morning. There is this here rumor that the Silver Jews are practicing again.
So here is some Silver Jews.
Something to freshen your Friday. It’s new, light, hoppy, and flourescent. Musically speaking.
