Retro noise outfit Dirty Beaches , the performing/recording moniker of Alex Zhang Hungtai, has released a live recording of "Lone Runner" as part of the compilation Soungs Kompf , which arrives May 29th via Soungs Records. Recorded at Chicago's Empty Bottle last September, this version stretches the original to even more brutal lengths, with eerie saxophone curls and a fire-in-the-pulpit, expletive-laden sermon from Hungtai. Stream it below. Available digitally and on cassette, Soungs Kompf features new and previously unreleased tracks from additional artists including Pterodactyl, Daniel Francis Doyle, and PC Worship.

Xiu XIu's set covered pretty much his entire catalog, reaching as far back as "Suha" off his 2002 debut, Knife Play , through stuff off [...]

![Dirty Beaches, Xiu Xiu & Father Murphy @ Mavericks [May 11, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4261169_lg.jpg)
It was one of those shows that I had to attend on May 11, 2012. More like a "Asians Representing/Asian solidarity" kind of show. It was hard at first asking people that I know if they were going to this show with other events happening the same night. All in all I kind of met some new people or that recognize me on through social media. Playing at the show were: • Dirty Beaches • Xiu Xiu [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart. For the week ending May 6 - 12. This week's #1 song goes to Purity Ring. I will say big things will come when their debut album drops on July 24, 2012. Well check out the leading single called Obedear. There are new debuts from Metric and Twin Shadow. One re-entry from Father John Misty (ex-Fleet Foxes member J. Tillman) With the sad passing of Adam Yauch (aka MCA) of The Beastie Boys. I just have to add one of my favorite songs [...]
Dirty Beaches - Tu Ne Dis Rien [Francoise Hardy] watch the original
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending April 29 - May 5. This week's #1 goes to a split single with Xiu Xiu that was recently released on Record Store Day. It is Dirty Beaches with a Francoise Hardy cover. The song is dark, gloomy and creepy which is what I love! There are four new debuts from Purity Ring and The Danks. (whose debut album "Are You Afraid Of The Danks" is getting a release in the USA on May 22, 2012) Check it out! [...]

It's happening again this year! Record Store Day 2012!! This will be my third year trying to get whatever "limited edition" records around. Like previous years I made a list of what records I wanted to get and what I bought . I understand some of the release will be available only in the UK and USA. The Ottawa music stores that are participating are: Compact Music CD Warehouse Birdman Sound [...]

B3SCI took to the streets of Austin in March for the 25th annual South by Southwest. We braved/raged through the musical flurry of performances, ridiculous entourages, grid-locked streets, fantastic rumors and more while covering some of the world's top breaking talent. Below are some choice highlights from our experience (during festival highlights here ), including our most recent Virgin Mobile Live broadcast featuring tunes from festival acts as well interviews with Fast Years, Tashaki Miyaki, PAPA and Saint Motel tracked on the streets of SX. Full set list here . ______________________________ _ [...]
Record Store Day is approaching on April 21st. If you're unfamiliar with the event, it's a day when independent record stores celebrate music, which seems like what they do any day they are open for business, but on this special day, record stores will promote exclusive events, like djs spinning, parades, giveaways (Amoeba in Los Angeles is hosting a contest for a free turntable and a box of vinyl), and limited releases. In the spirit of Record Store Day, Xiu Xiu, and tourmate Dirty Beaches, have recorded a split 7" on Polyvinyl, featuring Xiu Xiu playing Erasure's "Always" and Dirty [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending April 8 - 14. There is no movement in the Top 3. Which means Japandroids spends a second week at #1. Love that song! There are the two new debuts. Check it out! This Week Last Week Total Weeks Artist Songs 1 [...]
Another one for those April 21st wishlists , this: Polyvinyl Records are to release a split 7" for this year's Record Store Day conjoining the distorted talents of Jamie Stewart and Alex Zhang Hungtai. Always saw Xiu Xiu delve into a superbly profound disconcertion and Stewart here covers Erasure's glam-camp number of the same name to equally subversive effect. His vocals reek of a genuine desperation, the acerbic rhythmic clatter that clutters its backdrop gloriously accenting said lunacy to conjure an end product that's just as upsetting as Andy Bell's [...]
Sorry for not having the music singles chart last week. It was due to being in Toronto for CMW 2012 . Here is a double bill of the chart. In chart #101, there was no change in the #1 spot but there are debuts of acts that impressed me at CMW. But Cousins spends #1 for the second week. In chart #102, things are changed since the release of the new Japandroids single. I had to make it #1 this week. There are new debuts from Best Coast and Beach House. [...]
