A great week for twee releases as Saturday Looks Good to Me's Fill Up the Room and Tullycraft's Every Scene Needs a Center could both very well be on my year-end list. I haven't heard all of the Tullycraft record yet, but I will be picking this one up before I head to work today. Other notable releases include Ryan Adams' (yawn..) Follow the Lights EP, Prefuse 73's Preparations and Ween's La Cucaracha . While [...]

If you're typically one to miss the boat on the latest new music (hey, we can't all be hipsters), then you'll be quite pleased with this week's new releases, which contain a plethora of reissues, like The Virginian by Neko Case, Vol. 1 by The Besnard Lakes, Lochloosa by Mofro, Comments of the Inner Chorus by Tunng, and Blue Scholars' self-titled debut. Other reissues are available from Of Montreal, Turbonegro, Nick Drake, and two from Black Moth Super Rainbow. Also, while it's more of a sequel than a reissue, Neil Young's [...]
Dragons of Zynth - Breaker - Get Off - Anna Mae - Who Rize Above More free tunes at Daytrotter Loving these cats. Stupid ass name, late era proggy Black Flag riffage, HR Bad Brains style vox, plus trip hop, Afrobeat, and glam sounds? What the yes? David Sitek of TV on the Radio produces. [...]
by BrooklynVegan Mike DOWNLOAD The Warlocks - Baby Blue (MP3) I'm always surprised by which bands are able to make a name for themselves and which others toil away under the shadows. A lot of it, of course, is due to the political machinations of the music industry, but even in the ultra-hyper blog celebrity (of which I am contributing to this very moment), some bands still fail to get their due notice. I believe The Warlocks are [...]
After an uneventful foray into (semi)major label territory and the hardly mentionable album, Surgery that was the result, it seems that The Warlocks are heading back towards their former promise. Hooking up with fuzzed psyche homestead Tee Pee Records, the band have taken their usual bite out of the MBV/ Jesus and Mary Chain catalogues and kept their overt pop tendencies under check. Heavy Deavy Skull Lover rides an opiate cloud of haze over a pretty steady stream of shoegaze melodies and washed out blues. A nice addition of atmospherics as they flesh out the band [...]
It may sound like a strange confession from the writer of a blog dedicated to music but don't fret, don't start thinking that the Devil is about to quit, don't start writing those letters to the New York Times, The British Guardian , or the Upper Ramsbottom Gazette in protest, IHATEROCKNROLL is a new label about to release it's first single, a 12" split release between LA's Darker My Love and Denver's Moccasin [...]
So Paranoid - The Warlocks . mp3
I'm fighting the urge to turn this into an anti-p4k screed. It isn't easy. Few bands in the Pitchfork era incite as much vitriolic criticism as The Warlocks. Jet's probably number one on the list (who can forget that primate drinking its own piss review), followed closely by Travis Morrison, Audioslave, Louis XIV, and The Warlocks. Of The Warlocks' new material, I've only heard "So Paranoid," but I can guarantee that whomever the editorial staff at p4k chooses to review it will give it a 1.5 and toss in some choice [...]
Song For Nico - The Warlocks . mp3
The Warlocks: "Song for Nico," from the Rise & Fall LP (Bomp, 2001)
Is anyone else following the Miss USA story? Wow. If you aren't, I suggest you start right now. Google her. Tara Connor. I have been searching for the new love of my life for a long time. And I think I just found her. I mean c'mon. Late night partying, girl on girl action in public... And she was able to look smoking hot the whole time. Now that is good hard work. This girl just may be the full package. I mean, she probably has a hard time spelling words like responsibility, but who cares, did [...]
