With the announcement of Coachella's line-up(I wanna go consummate with Mary Anne Hobbs and assassinate Lil' B) and my unrelenting man crush on David Duchovny I've gone to California in my mind, but more importantly with help from Dirty Gold . You can find the single on iTunes, they'll be releasing something tangible on Aquarium Drunkard's label Autumn Tone sometime this spring. mp3-California Sunrise by Dirty Gold

India was initially released in 1973 and immediately censored/banned by the dictatorship of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I have no recollection of how i discovered this, roughly 3 years ago, but i've been spreading it like my seed since(meaning only to a select few bar-maids and heiresses). Recently one these bar-maids dropped me a line informing me of Gal Costa's performance at Carnegie Hall this March 24th,... how i will get there I've no idea, but more importantly i was reminded of the Portuguese eroticism that is India . So below is some Buried Bootay, Milho Verde [...]

Prince - Kiss De la Soul - Oodles of O's (prod. by Prince Paul) (The Brewers have agreed to a one-year, record-setting contract for Prince Fielder. Here's some words about it.) You've got to hand it to the Milwaukee Brewers for recognizing a couple things: not every player of Ryan Braun's caliber will play for $7 million a year; not every deal of the C.C. Sabathia deal's magnitude works out as one-sided as it did for the Brewers; and it's not every day that a small-market [...]

Smith Westerns sophomore effort, officially released today, comes complete with all the toe-tapping, catchy rifts and stuck-in-your-head lyrics as their first self-titled album recorded back in 2009. Listeners originally drawn to them won’t be disappointed with the 60’s pop vibe that still resonates with the band’s mythology, but what it lacks is the low-fi, basement sound that was so evident in their first. They are no longer producing the fuzzy, garage rock that sounds like, well, like it was actually recorded in a garage. Dye It Blonde is squeaky clean in sound quality, which originally comes [...]

Now is the time of year when things start getting tense - the snow won't stop falling, the economy won't stop...falling, grandmas won't stop falling (nobody shoveled her walkway) and everybody just sort of wishes it was three weeks ago. In honor of this wonderful time of year and the equally-wonderful next three months or so (when does spring training start again?), here's a couple fights Seizure Chicken is currently trying to coordinate. All dates, odds, and fighters subject to change. Flaming Lips Vs. American Gladiators [...]

mp3 - Therapies Son - Touching Down 19 year old Californian, Therapies Son , knocks this bouncy, weirdo, George Harrison-esque jam out of the park. "Touching Down" is off his Over The Sea EP which comes out on Transparent Records in March. [ mp3 via ]

Ducktails (Real Estate guitarist Matthew Mondanile) teams up with Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear, to implore you to stop killing the vibe. A phrase I, in one way or another, tell people in my head multiple times daily. Good thing we all have infectious pop joints like this to reaffirm the vibe once broken. mp3 - Ducktails - Killin The Vibe (ft/ Panda Bear)

Hunx & His Punx sophomore album, Too Young to Be in Love out March 29th, on Hardly Art. If your unfamiliar with the band here is a pr snip I just received that sums it up well: "Hunx and His Punx might be the first ever "girl group" fronted by a flamboyant gay male whose dream in life is to sound like a girl. They have created a unique new sound they refer to as "Young Oldies", a mixture of 50s teenage rock n roll, 60s girl groups and bubblegum pop." [...]

Sholi - Tourniquet It's worth saying that I found it through Touch and Go's website, and was thus initially concerned that I wasn't hearing angry-white-dude-t-shirt punk rock. "Tourniquet" starts out imitating the aforementioned angry white dudes, with a jumpy circular bass riff that should be very familiar in both tone and construction to fans of Drive Like Jehu or (T&G mainstays) Shellac or the Jesus Lizard - but whereas those bands specialized in building those tense, sparse basslines into righteous post-punk fury hurricanes ("furycanes," which is different from "furricanes," which are furry Puerto Ricans), this song [...]

[ image ] Last week, Daytrotter released a session recently recorded by Happy Birthday. The session features some 'golden oldies' from one of our favorite albums of 2010, as well as 2 new tracks, "Evergreen" and "Stupid superstar". Kyle mentioned playing a newer slow jam he called "Evergreen", when we spoke with him last year. Word is Kyle will be busy writing/touring/recording with his other project King Tuff and releasing (hopefully) a sophomore album on SubPop. As always, the DT session is free. Go get it . mp3 - [...]

Batman by brunostroszek Dear Betty Baby by brunostroszek A/B sides of Lower Dens ' new single Batman. Lower Dens hit the road for a few dates with the similarly fantastical and intimate Walkmen this January. If you haven't checked out the group's debut Twin-Hand Movement , I strongly recommend that you do.

Madvillain - Avalanche/Victory Lap Nobody’s even said that either “Avalanche/Victory Lap” or last year’s “Papermill” are actually any part of the mystical garden o delights that is this year’s (hopefully) Madvillainy 2. But one of the best things about Madvillainy’s abundance of two-minute tracks and a handful of vocal-less sound collages was their schizophrenic cohesiveness, the product of a right brain that functions in 30-second spurts of brilliance and a left brain clever enough to sequence the bursts into something that makes sense for an entire hour. Hearing Madvillain tracks individually, rather than in the [...]

TV on the Radio - Satellite (back when the band was mostly Sitek's laptop and Adebimpe's voice) Jane's Addiction - Summertime Rolls If you're like me and you spent four years in college spending sleepless nights researching the finer points of playing fantasy sports while hungover, the news that TV on the Radio central contributor/white guy Dave Sitek will be joining Jane's Addiction (yes, that Jane's Addiction) makes perfect sense. This is because you will have spent four years considering lineup permutations that would normally be considered impossible in [...]
