I hope I don't ruin anyone's fun, but this must be posted in honor of my Nutmeg Constitution State of Connecticut. There's no such band as Condo fucks--well, sort of. They're real, but they don't have the rich history in the Connecticut scene Matador Records claims they do. Plus, if these albums Matador claims to be real existed, I think my friends and I would know every word to tracks like "Let's Get Rid of New Haven" and "New London Calling." Matador alleges these releases are so rare they can't [...]

In the wake of digital recording technology many recent bands (Times New Viking, Waaves, et al.) are gaining notoriety (and blogger hype) for using tape hiss and tinny guitar fuzz as an aesthetic choice. March 10th will see the release of another album of 4-track buzz, as Condo Fucks release Fuckbook on Matador Records . While the band's official bio claims them to be the "legendary New London, CT trio," the group is actually comprised of the members of Yo La Tengo who have decided to show those blog hyped whipper snappers a thing or two. The [...]

Fuckbook is the fifth release by New London, Connecticutt 3-piece The Condo Fucks, their first in over a decade. So proclaims the press release from Matador records which goes on to say that most of those releases were prominantly advertised on the inner sleeve of label-mates Yo La Tengo's I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One but those near classics are now long since deleted. I'm pretty sure that the above is a bit of a stunt, and that those early Condo Fucks records, along with the also advertised on the sleeve original [...]

Who : Neko Case Title : Middle Cyclone Release Date : March 3rd Label : ANTI- Thoughts : Listening to Neko Case's voice is one of the absolute joys of being an indie music fan. Whether with The New Pornographers or as a solo artist her sultry voice has always captured our attentions, and with each passing solo album she continues to add to her overall sound. On Middle Cyclone Neko experiments a lot with the sound [...]
Condo Fucks - "Dog Meat" Rick leaned hard into the table and said, "This shit is awesome, it tastes like 1991," and then threw up hard across the table. He had on purple shoes with purple leopards, chocolate pants, a sweat shirt, as in "made of", and hair that fell limp like greasy knotted laces. He walked like a sinkhole when he was drunk, and he'd tell off his friends one by one, like he was checking items off his to-do's. Did you. Did you. You're done. Did you. Got what I wanted from you. You [...]

Marius Hansen Last July , I was introduced to Spanish site Buffet Libre on account of their releasing a massive compilation of covers - mainly of '80s pop tunes - by a slew of artists I'd mostly never heard of, but also the likes of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and Electric Soft Parade . That was only the first salvo, however, and they've rung in the new year with part the second - another massive batch of covers, this one featuring the likes of Headlights , [...]

So, are Yo La Tengo moonlighting as lofi garagerockers the Condo Fucks? Yeah, that's what it looks like. I mean THIS pretty much nails it. Right? The album proper (named Fuckbook ) doesn't hit for a while... Feb 2009 methinks. This here track was on the Matador Intended Play Sampler for Fall 2008 . I meant to post it earlier, but I was trying to get my blog declared a bank so I could get some of that sweet sweet bailout money. Hey Sec. Paulson, GIMME GIMME! Downloadable: [...]
