Fondé en 2011, le label Unknown To The Unknown regroupe et propose au fil de ses sorties un choix musical toujours plus varié. Pour ce nouvel EP, les deux gérants du label Hot City , se sont associés avec les fantaisistes Montréalais de LOL Boys . Les deux titres, Whitney (Jus Some Shit) et Hot Boys qui résulte parfaitement du mélange des influences des deux duos, s'alignent sur un modèle club acid énergique qui ne vous laissera pas de marbre! L'EP sorti ce mercredi est disponible sur Junodowload [...]
"One never know, do one?" - Fats Waller Today's tape was intriguing enough when I heard the first six minutes of it. When I heard the remainder of the tape (which also indicated what that six minutes had been recorded over, I was even more fascinated. Recorded over the initial third of the tape, at 15 IPS (the speed often used at recording studios), in whole track mono, after some initial setting up sounds, were versions of two Rockabilly classics, the first being "Heartless Woman" (most often associated with Terry Noland ) and the second [...]

The headline says it all, folks. Canadian indie/alternative twin-duo Tegan and Sara have officially come back from their year and a half off, and are expected to enter the studio in the middle of this month. Having not toured since a year before the release of their three-part short film series Get Along in November of 2011, this installation can be expected to deviate slightly from the latest Sainthood and even more (most likely) from 20072s The Con , while still retaining that ever-present [...]
The Maccabees go into its third album with a smoother sound, more atmosphere, and an overall glossier recording. WATCH THE REVIEW

Today, a handful of 45 RPM records from the fringes, a few favorites of mine that might become favorites of yours. I know nothing about the performers heard here, aside from the names on the labels, and in one case, there isn't even a name on the label. First up, a boisterous offering from someone named Ken Colby. The playful piano, the oompah tuba, the sweet accordion, and the wordless la-la-la's from a chorus of kids, what's not to love about "Ragamuffin's Holiday". The Ragamuffins of of the title are replaced by Ken's "Music" for the flip side, [...]

Sorry for the lateness of this week's OSM, but Sunday was my birthday, and so I celebrated by watching my beloved Saints trounce the naughty Lions and took a break from the Sunday night OSM prep. But as you might know, if you're a super-dedicated hill-fan or the only Naedoo-stalker known to man, I share my birth date with Jay-Z . So that often makes my birthday related OSM's easy ( Master Ace is also a December 4th-er ), but I don't want to be putting up the same old songs over and over again. So let's mix things [...]
At some point along the way, in my reel collecting jaunts, a came across a small batch of tapes containing some mid to late 1980's material related to the Domino's Pizza company. Collected here is the contents of most of those tapes. First up, what appears to be a selection of ads designed for a "Domino's Pizza Delivers" campaign. I only remember the last of these actually airing in my area, as part of the wholly annoying "The Noid" campaign (to be represented in the next section, as well), so I wonder if these were demos, submitted by the [...]
Alps Cru - Pitstop Alps Cru - The Concept Alps Cru - Pick Up The Crossfader Aight I posted a while back news of Alps Cru's new EP, without really explaining who they are. Well this is why I'm so... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Unknown - Luv. Three A / Love Unlimited Vibes (LUV 003) by matthias meyer LUV 03 B by LOVE UNLIMITED VIBES The vinyl is back, once again gaining more and more attention as a media format during 2011. For two reasons. First, since everybody and their mom are able to "Dj" today thanks to the modern solutions like Ableton , Traktor and Serato. We love the technology and how it takes [...]
The things you find on three inch reels of tape! Offered today are two recordings, completely unrelated but having been recorded on that most personal of the reel tape, the easily mailable and easily shareable three inch reel. First up, an audio letter from a father in Elgin, IL, to his daughter in Riverside, CA, in the summer of 1970. By recording at the slow speed of 1 7/8 inches per second, he was able to fit nearly 45 minutes onto this short amount of tape. Featured here is the second side only, for two reasons. First, the monologue on [...]

This post gives those with an interest in the history of music hall a chance to sample a wonderful book about the remarkable Honri family. It's called Working the Halls by Peter Honri. Like many such books on the subject, it's now out of print, but this post is a chance for you to read a few excerpts and listen to tracks from the accompanying flexidisc, called Concert-in-a Turn . It features a loving preface (or 'Overture') by Spike Milligan which laments the fact that "a few etchings and paintings by Sickert are the [...]

So here's a long overdue follow-up to a 2007 Beware Of The Blog post about country music records featuring fuzztone guitar sounds. Call me nuts, but I find extraordinarily endearing the improbable blend of country music traditionalism and tastefully restrained space-age guitar pyrotechnics that can be heard in these tunes. A quick recap: the fuzztone guitar sound was born in the summer of 1960, on Don't Worry (MP3), a Marty Robbins country [...]

The time has finally arrived. The most hyped tune of the last 12 months now has a vinyl release on Swamp81 . From the first time this tune was played on RinseFM by DJ Oneman till now, the identity of the artist still remains a mystery. The smart money in on Joy Orbison but nothing has been confirmed. It certainly has the Joy O style of synth and vocal chops but regardless of that, its a top tune. Get it at Boomkat now.
