I know Ryan will agree with this, as Overseas are pretty much our favorite super group. As Texas kids of the 90s, we grew into our own listening to the music of Centro-matic , Pedro the Lion and Bedhead , all who have components that are playing key roles here. That's right, you've got the Kadane's, Will Johnson and Mr. Bazan. I don't think that anyone who was around that the very thought of that combination alone gets chills going. I don't need to say much, but I'll share a [...]
My friend Drea has this selfie project she does on Instagram called the ‘bedhead series’ so I figured I’d surprise her by making a GIF of the status so far. So, hi, surprise.

drunk and fucked up - aka memphis
Today seemed like a normal day as I woke up, went downstairs to make coffee and checked my email. But as with many mundane moments in life, things sometimes have a way of changing in a hurry. As I opened my semi-monthly email from David Bazan and read through all the living room shows I would never be able to attend because they were sold out instantly, I scrolled down a bit and saw this: "Some of you might be familiar with Will Johnson from his collaboration with Bazan in the Undertow Orchestra a [...]
Another week has ended. If you fellas didn't get your dicks wet, well that's unfortunate. If you ladies didn't go out and hit the bars and settle for less than you deserve, I find that equally disappointing. Either way, sucks for you. Although it could be worse…you could be one of those people who doesn't [...]
Things I learned this weekend: Apparently it's grounds for an ass-kicking when you're black-out drunk at a bar and you tell a girl her boyfriend is "limp dicked" and ask her if you can "put a little baby in your tum tum." Good thing I was in a large group of people who would have [...]
It's been some time since I've posted on this blog and I am happy that topomodesto gave me the opportunity to put together a mix. In the face of algorithm driven mix generation I hope that there continues to be interest in crafting diverse listening experiences. What may start as a matter of convenience easily translates into common practice. Collecting and orchestrating music samples into coherent ideas may be perfected by professional dj's, but I find my interests don't take root until I search out the connections between songs and artists myself. And this invariably leads [...]
“When you were in Chicago in ’97, is that how you initially met Steve Albini?” I ask Bubba. “Well, actually, I met him at a show in Minneapolis in ’95, or something. And then we wanted to try recording with him. It was after Beheaded came out, and we went and we tried the studio—which [...]
I’m staying at the Quality Inn Market Center in Dallas. This weekend, it just so happens, is the annual Mary Kay convention. Makeup retailers from all over the United States have congregated here, on this very weekend, to…do something with makeup. I don’t really know, exactly. I’m just expecting a parking lot packed with pink [...]
Bedhead — Disorder (Joy Division cover) From 4-Song EP 19:10 (Trance Syndicate; 1994) Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now
TUNDRA SCARS :: JANUARY 2011 :: MIXTAPE :: BOY ATTRACTIONS There’s not much to love about winter. If (like me) you’re up against the Eastern Seaboard, you’re stuck with 3 months of gale-force winds, bitter cold, and slushy, salt-covered sidewalks. For those that share our pain and anguish (not you silly Californians), we whipped up ‘ Tundra Scars ’, a mix of chilly, seasonable songs that have been getting us through these months. While Ben threw in some smooth R&B and mellow folk, I went heavy on the soul-crushing slowcore. It ain’t [...]
Aquí, un playlist elaborado con clásicos del indie rock de los noventa, un género que creció a la sombra, amparado en sellos como Touch and Go, Merge y Sub Pop. Esta selección contiene varios nombres fundamentales de una escena aún cercana al post punk y al hardcore. Lo increíble, es que todos ellos fueron esenciales para el desarrollo de tendencias como la de Morr Music, cuyos artistas -como Styrofoam- han reconocido el legado de quienes les precedieron. Ponga play y disfrute.

Here's one by the seemingly British-but-were-actually-from -Texas band Bedhead , who long ago railed against the slo-core title, and later went on to become The New Year. I missed the train on them when they actually still existed, which for some reason makes reading about them seem somehow fictional. Like a pretty dream.: Bedhead: The Unpredictable Landlord.mp3 (bestestest. play loud.)
Portland, Ore.-based A Weather are presently waist-deep into their second U.S. tour, which is supporting the release of the slow-core revivalists superlative sophomore set Everyday Balloons [ review here ]. Everyday Balloons seems mildly obsessed with sleep, and the narratives all seem as if they could have been written solely about what can be seen from a bed by a window. The new collection is lusher, denser and even relatively kaleidoscopic compared to the stunning, quieter debut album Cove , which we named one of the best of the last decade right [...]
Tre Orsi recently popped up on the Matador Austin Compilation , though the band is a three piece from Denton. This is probably due to the fact that we'd like to claim them as our own due to their rocking live shows, and their powerful sound. The band will be releasing their album, Devices + Albums , on March 23rd through Works Progress Records . Production credits go to Bubba Kadane of Bedhead ( The New Year too) fame, so you know [...]
If you were to make a list of the twenty bands that influenced our musical taste, Bedhead would certainly be an integral part of that list. At a time when the feedback of My Bloody Valentine was segueing into the grunge of Nirvana, Bedhead taught us that nothing is more important that a perfectly crafted melody. Rather than hiding behind effects pedals and a wall of noise, Matt and Bubba Kadane wrote songs with so many layers of intertwining melodies, that they challenged the premise that "mellow" music was "simple". In fact, the emotional intensity of their [...]
