From Austin.. MINNESOTA we didn't see that coming either! John Maus' new release, too long for me to type look above , hits the synthy streets running on 27 de Junio via Upset The Rhythm . To be honest it took a second for us to perk our peepers his way since whenever we hear about him there is always a gigantic ,mutant bee in the background.. BUZZZZZZZZZ! Why did we wait so long? We don't know.. we get ornery!!! If John Maus sounds a bit like last year's critical and personal love affair Ariel Pink ... [...]

Oh Coyne and Co how do we love thee? The Flaming Lips released a 4/20 album yesterday at 4:20. The Gummy Skull Ep (aptly named since it was a gummy skull with a USB drive inside of it all for the nice price of 150$) gives us 4 brand new psychedelic gems! Didn't get one? Us neither!

Super sad news bears! TVOTR bassist and keyboardist , Gerard Smith, shuffled off this mortal coil yesterday. We are definitely dragging our beak and our hearts go out to his friends and family. We choose to celebrate Gerard's work (instead of mourning his passing) with one of the best bands of our generation if not ever. He will truly be missed! TVOTR's new album, Nine Types Of Light ,is FUCKING AMAZING is out now and I spin it daily(really). One of if not the best albums (of any genre) so far [...]

The disc is the bid-did-ness! Perfect for blaring windows down [...]
While totally not huntin' and peckin' the interwebs for any hint of a leak of coop faves White Denim's upcoming release , D , (out on June 24th Via Downtown ) We ran into not only a track but a mixtape by the four piece Austin( insert something witty and pertaining to music making that also starts with the letter "A" and make it plural).

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy! Have Fun!
Hush up, vegetarian hipsters, and plug your oversized headphones into the Atlanta-based pysch-punk of Carnivores , clearly born when Jurassic Park was hella cool (still cool) and paleontology was on the future-careers-list. Although they bounce between full-on punk and a swishy, romantic new age thing, they’ve got a pretty great lo-fi sound that is not even slightly reminiscent of ripping through animal flesh. Check it. Carnivores - Heart of Copper
So technically Therapies Son , Over The Sea , has been out for like a month... buuuut not if you live in the good ole US of A. It was released here on RSD day ( yes I am going to flog RSD until next April thank you very much or we need Cassette Store Day to happen soon) via Sargent House . Of course we have been all over for 2000 blog years (that is about 4 months in real time) when we posted a track here . When I first heard that [...]
"I've heard it said about The Velvet Underground that while not a lot of people bought their albums, everyone who did started a band. I think this is largely true about the Pixies as well. Charles' secret weapon turned out to be not so secret and, sooner or later, all sorts of bands were exploiting the same strategy of wide dynamics. It became a kind of new pop formula and, within a short while, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was charging up the charts and even the members of Nirvana said later that it sounded for all the world like [...]
