Northern Autumn/Southern Spring mix #3 (65MB) We're getting to the business end of the season(s) now, it's true, but just for kix here's a compilation of tunes new and old to enrich and enhance your experiences in these ultra-poetic quarters. Autumn got a lot of nostalgic connotations or whatever but right now Spring in the southern hemisphere has a similar vibe, all cold and wet and turtleneck-justifying. 1. Crayon Fields - Mirror Ball 2. Christmas Island - Black Cloud [...]
Need New Body - Brite Tha' Day I mentioned Need New Body when I compared them to Pizza in my last post and I realized it's been way too long since I listened to them. This song, "Brite Tha' Day" is the first track on their third album Where's Black Ben? God damn, these guys are so strange. The label "beardo wierdcore" is pretty appropriate in this case. I saw them [...]

The band won't be touring again regularly until November, so this is probably your only chance to see them until then. For more info on Icy Demons, visit icydemons.com . -Article by Anthony Fantano
This song (by Need New Body ) has blown my mind. First impressions: Dan Deacon and Man Man are hanging out at the place music artists hang out (tattoo parlors?) and decide to make some music on spot.

Super cool avant garde rock. It's the marching music for robot in the year 2045 and we actually want to march too. It's thumping funk with weird instruments, everything is short cabaret rythm. And it's from Phily of all places. Think of them as in the same fun groups as Hella , Deerhoof , Quintron and The Mae Shi . Made out of defunk band Bent Leg Fatima, story has it "kkeyboardist Dale Jimenez and vocalist/dancer/multi-instrume ntalist Jeff Bradbury, have been playing music together for years. Drummer/Percussionist Chris Powell, who played in Bent Leg [...]
