Today we flash backon another of our favourite labels: SUB POP RECORDS . They're responsible for the careers of a diverse range of bands, from Nirvana to Dum Dum Girls to our very own Husky . And they're celebrating 25 years in the business on July 13. That means that they've been around since 1988. Before that founder Bruce Pavitt started a fanzine called Subterranean Pop about American independent artists and their labels. He started releasing [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-16T10:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4953989/dum-dum-girls-send-out-email-about-next-album/
Dum Dum Girls' Dee Dee sent out an email today, discussing the next Dum Dum Girls' album. The email, titled "NEON HEARTS", Dee Dee writes about destroying her voice from constant touring and...]]> text/html 2013-05-09T13:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4940924/dum-dum-girls-coming-down-and-yoko-onos-1965/
Dum Dum Girls have the destinction of making me tolerate a Smiths song. I had no idea that "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" was the work of Morrissey and with Dee Dee singing, I can actually stomach it. Anyway, their video for last year's slow motion stomp "Coming Down" pairs the mournful song with a stark black & white clip featuring an scissor wielding audience. Take a look at the video's direct influence: Yoko Ono's 1965 performance entitled Cut Piece : Please [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-04T01:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4931500/dum-dum-girls-bhang-bhang-im-a-burnout/
There's a subversive purity to the pop of the Dum Dum Girls. Bhang Bhang, I'm a Burnout is '60s style happy pop with lo-fi edge. It's got the cheapest drum sound possible, and the tune is carefully wrapped in a protective sheen of guitar noise. It's loaded with artifice and style, but rather mockingly. Taken at face value this demonstrates just how hip and cool casual nihilism can be. Don't take anything at face value. From the 2010 album I Will Be .

Happy Weed Day, everyone! Though the origins of "4203 aren't quite the stuff of legend (it was not actually police code for marijuana use in progress), it certainly has become the rallying cry of pot smokers and is celebrated daily without anyone's help. But the day 4/20 is likely to raise more blunts, and hopefully more awareness, now given Washington State's more relaxed laws on marijuana possession, use and even purchasing. Of course, not everyone will spend today burning into a peaceful bliss, but you can all enjoy this special "I Got High" video playlist in honor of [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-18T15:52:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4900901/un-polica-de-centro-comercial-enamorado-en-el-nuevo-video/

There isn't much info on this brand new Dum Dum Girls demo "Wish You Well," other than a tiny description from band member Dee Dee on the Soundcloud page: "H ummed this a long time ago in bed ... lullaby with Sammy Nikdel on guitar."

Dum Dum Girls es una de esas bandas que con el paso del tiempo se han ido poniendo mucho mejor, aunque debo decir que en lo personal me agradaba un poco ms el estilo lo-fi de sus grabaciones, con todo y que la claridad y la potencia con la que han estado grabando sus mas recientes materiales tambin porta con una exquisitez sonora bastante agradable. Adems, Dee Dee es un mujern, ya que no slo ha estado trabajando en nuevo material de Dum Dum Girls , sino que en los ltimos meses ha estado dandole duro a [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-28T20:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4806857/dum-dum-girls/

The VPME More proof, as if we really needed it that all the musicians involved in Dee Dee Penny's Dum Dum Girls project are all imbued with a talent bigger than your average NGC 6872. SISU is the musical project of Dum Dum Girl Sandra Vu which sees her step out from behind the drum kit to take lead vocals, guitar, and occasional flute duties in a collective that also features Dum Dum Girl guitarist Jules Medeiros. SISU is a rather different musical beast from Dum Dum Girls' wonderful epic garage infused pop and [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-13T20:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4777576/haunted-hearts-house-of-lords/
Det var nog vren 2011 som jag gick runt och knde mig tuff till tonerna av Crocodiles andra skiva Sleep Forever. Alla har vi sdana skivor eller ltar som vi tar fram nr det behvs. Det var bara att knppa p plattan s fort man gick utanfr drren och vips s var man tuff, snygg och cool igen, oavsett vilken sida man vaknat p. Kanske finns det nu en ny favorit och inte helt ovntat r det Brandon Welchez frn just Crocodiles som r delvis ansvarig. Haunted Hearts bandet. Eller duon. Ett gift par!

photo by Morgen Schuler Dee Dee, songwriter and main force behind the Dum Dum Girls , stopped by the KEXP studio to chat with Stevie Zoom and perform alone with just her heavy-tremolo-ed guitar. Her Girls-less performance is a throwback to the early 2008 to 2010 years, which saw Dee Dee's first CDR release on her own label and led up to her official debut on Sub Pop . Since that first album, I Will Be , featuring a cover shot of Dee Dee's mother, who not long afterward its release succumbed to [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-30T05:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4749533/playlist-for-mixtape-sessions-on-january-29-2013/
Maybe you can call it "Ming" Tape Sessions? No not really! I was guest hosting/filling-in for Mixtape Session on Tuesdays at 10pm. Since the host was away this week on for "missions unknown".

Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 2 (50-1) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs. I also only included my favorite song from each artist, so there are no doubles (except for I think one person, but they were part of two different groups). A few songs are also technically from before 2012, but they all appear on albums or [...]]]> text/html 2012-12-31T21:38:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4696142/best-of-2012-releases-of-the-year/
