Happy Canada day! Drove for 14hours, got in at 10:30 then dj'd the Beatroute after party til 5am. Serious mind trip. Still feeling scatterbrained AND i'm having a bad hair day. I have a beer now so i'm feeling a lot better.... Didn't get to see any official Sled shows arriving so late. I heard Deerhoof blew people's mind as well as Big Freedia (my current obsession). Freedia is hopefully playing another after party so hopefully I can sniff that out. Ty Segal played the afterparty with Walter TV, Blines, [...]
Ty Segall last visited Phoenix back in March on a little sideshow around the whole SXSW fiasco weeks. The garage/psych band from San Francisco blew the minds of a crowd of drunken music fans gathered at The Trunkspace that evening and I'm sure left many wanting more. Well, if your jaw was on the floor that night and you were wiping drool off your face, I've got some great news for you. That is if you can handle being crammed into a small room with a bunch of sweaty, smelly people in the dead of summer in [...]
Ty Segall & Idle Times at the Comet Tavern, Seattle | 28 June 2010 Prior to Melted I was on the fence about Ty Segall . After seeing him at the Sunset Tavern a few years back opening for Thee Oh Sees and Intelligence, I was kind of amazed how he played guitar, drums and sang all at once, but I thought the songwriting on his first two albums was monochromatic and sonically they seemed a little flat. It [...]
The Thermals are a great example of a band who do one thing, high-energy power pop, and do that one thing well. "I Don't Believe You," taken from their forthcoming, Kill Rock Stars album, Personal Life , is just that - A reason to get out of your seat and hop about as you trade your problems for the band's problems, which are nothing more than the usual relationship problems set to guitar. MP3: The Thermals - I Don't Believe You - "Didn't You," sees Cloud Nothings principal, and Cleveland's [...]

Ty Segall - Caesar "I've had a lot of admiration for the San Franciscan rocker for quite some time, digging a lot of his scuzzy garage songs, though not particularly blown away by him at SXSW. I liked Lemons last year, but it didn't [...]

MP3: Ty Segall - Girlfriend MP3: Ty Segall - My Sunshine Damn, Goner , you did it again. It's hard not to just leak this whole record, since every track is a hit, but here are 2 really rad Ty Segall jams from "Melted". This is the best and most listenable complete lp I've heard in a while.

Douglas Martin prefers Caesar to Septimius Severus The sentiment has become so well-worn that it's now cliché: San Francisco's psych/garage scene is extremely prolific. The Fresh & Onlys have a new EP out after releasing two full-lengths last year. John Dwyer, resident lynchpin of the city he reps, has led Thee Oh Sees to four full-lengths over the last two years. Wooden Shjips' Ripley Johnson has released records with both his main band and psychedelic dance tandem Moon Duo over the past eighteen months. You get the point. But where the hell are Sic [...]
There's been plenty of talk on NYRM about Ty Segall. I've had a lot of admiration for the San Franciscan rocker for quite some time, digging a lot of his scuzzy garage songs, though not particularly blown away by him at SXSW. I liked Lemons last year, but it didn't make my end of year lists. Still, it always seemed like there was something special about him- you could sense it there- but nothing was quite separating him from his musical peers. This album though, this album feels like he's really truly and finally arrived to [...]

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Garage rock has made quite a resurgence in the last several years, and it's been enforced, or heralded, by one torch bearer or another. In the resurgence era we had King Khan , Jay Reatard and now we've got Ty Segall . His new album Melted, on Goner Records , is just a dirty rocking party fueled by catchy choruses and pounding rhythms, so let's get to it. [...]
