[playlist] Hump Day Power Play (2-15-2012)

Feb 15, 6:00am Three Colours

Wild Cloud Nothings Editition This week's Hump Day Power Play started around two songs: Cloud Nothings' "No Future/No Past" and Wild Nothing's "Chinatown". From there, it only made sense to through in the likes of Yuck, Black Lips, and Beach Fossils. The result was a smooth mix of shoegaze and noise pop/garage, which is quite good, in my opinion... but you don't have to take my word for it ! Hear it by simply clicking here . Playlist is below. :: Hump Day Power [...]

Fun Number from Lovely Bad Things

Feb 14, 8:21am Austin Town Hall

The press release for Lovely Bad Things starts out with "if the Pixies and Black Lips got drunk at a party..." For me, the first thing I thought was "Man, wish I was cool enough to be there." Then, I figured the next best thing would be to hear the combination of those two acts, and thus we have LBT. They've got a an EP, New Ghost/Old Waves , that was released on cassette, but should be back on vinyl on March 13th of this year. I [...]

Diamond Rugs: Gimme A Beer

Feb 13, 10:09pm Kick Kick Snare

What thoughts flutter through your head when you hear "supergroup"? I would imagine it's not similar to what goes through my mind: The Highway Men , The Super Friends , "We Are The World" ... I digress. 2012 has graced us with yet another supergroup that may not be as influential as Johnny Cash plucking along side Willy Nelson, but when you mix members of Deer Tick , The Black Lips , Los Lobos , Dead Confederate , and Six Finger Satellite , you got yo' self a SUPERGroup. Diamond [...]

12 Most Anticipated Albums of 2012

Feb 10, 6:53am I Hope Your Ears Bleed

I know I am a little late on this, but here are the albums that I am looking forward to hearing the most. Please understand this is not my guess at what will be the best albums of 2012, or my attempt at finding the pulse of what the general public is most excited about. These the 12 albums that I am personally the most excited about. Also know that I have excluded several albums that have already been released that surely would have made this list, had I done a month ago, including the new ones by [...]

What does it take to be Paste Magazine 's most anticipated album of 2012? It has to be widely accepted by strip clubs. Instead of sending their music to the media, Diamond Rugs, the collaboration of John McCauley (Deer Tick), Robbie Crowell (Deer Tick), Ian Saint Pé (The Black Lips), Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Hardy Morris (Dead Confederate) and Bryan Dufresne (Six Finger Satellite), decided to send three CD singles to over 50 strip clubs. Strip club connoisseurs and employees loved what they heard, and now that sentiment is shared by the aforementioned popular indie zine. [...]

Thundering Track from K-Holes

Feb 9, 4:14pm Austin Town Hall

If you know our friends over at Hardly Art , they've been dabbling in the softer side of indie rock for the last several releases (not that we mind at all #justsaying). But, when you hear this booming track, you'll realize that the label has a new force to be reckoned with in K-Holes . Their new record, Dismania, should be out on the label on May 1st, and there's something sonically sinister lurking. It's got the reckless abandon you can recall from early [...]

The Gaye Blades- "Don't Get Married"

Feb 2, 1:21pm The Needle Drop

Here's a track from a new collaborative project featuring musicians from two of the best garage rock acts out there right now: Black Lips and Gentleman Jesse and His Men. The Gaye Blades' first album is out now on Norton Records , and the track "Don't Get Married" alone makes picking it up worth it. The chord progression and vocal melodies call out to rock 'n' roll's golden age-you know, a time when guys like Chuck Berry reigned supreme. However, the recording style and personality is lo-fi, filthy, and new. The song's subject matter is [...]

The Gaye Blades - "Don't Get Married"

Jan 31, 6:06pm Everybody Taste

Atlanta brethren Gentlemen Jesse Smith and Jared Swilley of The Black Keys split songwriting duties on The Gaye Blades debut LP, released last September. It's a classic affair that puts grimy pop and punk finishes over highly melodic 1950s-inspired rock 'n' roll. As far as I can tell, the album only exists on vinyl pressed via the good folks at Norton Records, but it's well worth the near bargin bin pricing at just ten bucks. Smith's sweet power-pop chops and Swilley's antagonistic streak lend a nice one-two punch to the flow of the record, which also includes a superb cover [...]
