Words by Rick Moslen So this is the series where I ramble on about classic indie/punk record labels fated to feed every music junkie's obsessive fix. This time I'm gushing about possibly the mother of them all. Hold onto your butts and stuff some earplugs up those earlobes, cause it's time for some raw, spazzing rock n'roll from Touch and Go Records. I know what you're thinking ... how can I rope Touch and Go 's extensive yet essential history into a mere blog post? That's like leaving your [...]

The entire 2011 CMJ Music Marathon lineup has been posted.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy aka Will Oldham on yksi niistä arteista, jotka saavat minut toistuvasti hyvälle tuulelle. Tällä kertaa suupieliin tuo liikettä oheinen Quail and Dumplings -single/video, joka kannattaa ehdottomasti katsoa loppuun saakka. Videolla voi bongata myös laulaja-lauluntekijä Nina Nastasian heilumassa nuotion äärellä. Kappale löytyy 4. lokakuuta ilmestyvältä Wolfroy Goes to Town -levyltä. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI1o1z L3jao
Both LA and Brighton have gotten a round of June Gloom this year like nobodies business. So I made this mixtape to help augment the sort of warm melancholy of this kind of gloom. Enjoy. 01 Simon & Garfunkel - April Come She Will 02 Nico - I'll Keep It With Mine 03 Pete Drake [...]
Oh folks. There are good times to be had, and I am making damned sure that I have each and every one. Last night was no exception. After finishing off the last of my Oinkster burger I took a quick disco nap and then headed over to West Hollywood to party with some friends. Unspeakable [...]

( Sad Songs & Waltzes is a recurring feature on Muzzle of Bees, where artists share their favorite sad songs. Previous contributors include Megafaun , Delta Spirit , Damien Jurado , Conrad Plymouth , Frontier Ruckus , Ben Weaver , and Roadside Graves .) I've spent the winter thus far with my ears wrapped around Dolorean's forthcoming Partisan Records release, The Unfazed . It's brought warmth courtesy of the heartbreaking vocals delivered by Al James. I firmly believe anyone [...]
the worst part is that this is a song you'd love. this is a song you'd love and you'll never hear it. poor, poor sweet baby. poor sweet baby. xxoxyrpoppet
It takes cojones to put two drastically different albums together at once, even more cojones to organize the contributions of two-dozen collaborators. In the case of R. Loren, whose two new projects Sailors with Wax Wings and White Moth were both released in October on Angel Oven Records, we're not talking 24 random kids from [...]

Drenched in sweeping orchestral harmonies the most recent incarnation will be accompanied by the brand new, sparsely arranged b-side 'One Turned In', exclusive to this release. Fresh from the European leg of her tour, Nina will kick [...]

Nina Nastasia – What's Out There

Remixes of Archie Bronson Outfit' s Hoola came out earlier this month and their newest LP Coconut is out now. Archie Bronson Outfit: Cherry Lips.mp3 Archie Bronson Outfit: Hoola.mp3 [...]
