Today we're back with another episode of our 200 part series, W.G.W.T.O. (What's Good With The Ocean?) The thing I often marvel at is the perpetual nature of the ocean. Through every war and every conflict on land, throughout the history of mankind, the ocean has been here, quietly evolving under the surface. It's like we're on one earth with two worlds, with one vastly more mysterious than the other. I'd like to direct your attention towards the kelp forests off the coast of California today. Tall as a three story house, with the potential to grow [...]
Manett's self-released The Sea Urchin EP is out Easter Sunday, March 31. The Sea Urchin by Manett
I want to say that Philadelphiers Swiss Alps effectively instagrammed ' Summershine ' by The Sea Urchins, but if I did say that I'd want it to be taken in the best way possible. Their cover is sweet and salty, and the b-side 'Anchors' has got that rubbery, big-wave guitar that makes you think of the Brady Bunch in Hawaii, see/dl for yourself and hear/dl their debut ep over at the bandcamp. thx 1ftp
Had this one on the 'catch up list' for a few days now and I must say, it really does get better with every listen. Pennsylvanian trio Swiss Alps first made their debut back in with the exquisite "Riptide Lore" & now they're back with another dose of summer filled magic in the form of "Summershine , the 1987 track from The Sea Urchins. continue reading >>
Swiss Alps - Summershine (The Sea Urchins cover) I’m not sure if this song was recorded as a reaction to all the negative shit going on in the band’s home town of State College, PA but it sure helps to cloak bad news in gauzy psych pop. The cover of the 1987 original sparkles summertime suits and white beach haze. Get this single b/w “Anchors” on their Bndcmp . Previously: “ Riptide Lore ”
Download great new covers of The Replacements, John Maus, The Police, Galaxie 500, The Sea Urchins, and Tom Waits!
In the March 2008 issue of Mojo, there was a sprawling article on the Smiths. But if you look a little closer (on page 75 to be exact), you'll find a list of bands that were predecessors, contemporaries, and influencers on Morrissey, Marr & Co. These "indie" bands, oft classified as C81/86 or as part of Sarah or Postcard records, shared some of the jingle and jangle of the Smiths, without the spotlight. While some of the bands may remain in their cult status, others I must admit, I did listen to occasionally or often: Wild Swans, Orange [...]
Pristine Christine - The Sea Urchins So as of yesterday i own this record. Is this the golden ticket to the elite club of indie aesthetes i've been waiting for? I looked on ebay last night and (even though this should be no indication of what it is worth, only what some free-spending blockheads are willing to pay) the last copy of this record sold for 301 British pounds! Who does that?! I don't want to say how much i paid for it but, [...]
Seit langem habe ich mich in den letzten Tagen nochmal bei Ebay umgeschaut und gleich ein paar Platten ersteigert (dazu ein ander mal mehr ) ... beim Stöbern bin ich soeben über die 73 von den Sea Urchins - Pristine Christine gestolpert! Bis dahin nicht spektakulär, das momentane Gebot steht allerdings bei 102 Euro!!! Hier [...]
Mind equals blown . Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, led by physics professor Pupa Gilbert, are modeling the behavior of sea urchin teeth to test self-sharpening materials for things like knives and um, knives. The secret is how the teeth are constructed: layers of calcite biocrystals held together with calcite nanocement are interspersed with softer layers of organic material, and when the teeth start to get dull on the surface, the top organic layer flakes off, exposing a brand new and freshly sharp layer of calcite. Chew, flake, repeat, and you’ve got infinitely sharp teeth.

The story of Sarah Records "1995 is missing buses", cantavano quelli, ma per me è stato anche perdermi la fine di una storia importante come quella della Sarah Records . Ora Lucy Dawkins, videomaker di Bristol (suoi i video degli School), sta realizzando un documentario sulla storia di una delle più leggendarie etichette indiepop, e pare saranno coinvolti anche i fondatori Matt Haynes e Clare Wadd. Qui trovate il myspace dell'iniziativa, questo è il twitter della Dawkins e potete leggere [...]

Distil indie down to its purest form and out would pop the Sea Urchins. They were signed to Sarah Records and this song has the distinction of being the fabled label’s first release. ‘Pristine Christine’ has got the lot, the lo-fi fuzzyness, the fey boy vocals, the jangling guitars and the words about a girl who was just out of reach. I hadn’t heard this in years until I happened upon it quite
And so, Dearest Friends, I'm back. Still rather wobbly on my feet, but back nonetheless... My trip to New York went acceptably well. There was much dark matter; accusations, bitterness, spite. But there were also brief flashes of light; gratitude, shared enjoyment. I also found myself spending an inordinate amount of emotional time reconciling the present summer with summers past. As mentioned previously, Mother has moved to a part of Long Island where I spent much time as a child. Several times during this last visit memories would scream around [...]
