Another week. Another crop of shows. Thursday, May 23rd The Detroit Cobras, Pangea, The Chaw at Slim's Detroit's garage soul punk fusionists have been doing blistering shows for almost 15 years, and they've managed to hone their live show into brutal, high energy blast of rock n roll energy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =FKxQsRIb5pY Bobby Joe Ebola & The [...] The post Spinning Platters Weekly Guide to Bay Area Concerts, 5/23/13-5/29/13 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Oooh it was set to be a good night, even on paper. Steve Gunn - Kurt Vile's buddy and extra Violator on this tour - filled an early, early set with layered, rich indie-blues - haven't heard a lot of that, these days. And none so good. Guitar and voice gave a dusty hug to the muttering crowd. Then San Francisco's Fresh & Onlys arrived, lookin' like each of them - singer/guitarist Tim Cohen, guitarist Wymond Miles, bassist Shayde Sartin and drummer Kyle Gibson - belonged in different [...]

I picked up a new toy a few hours before my show. My bike had been in the shop for a few days with a broken spoke and to get a new chain and cassette (the latter of which was a special order item), and I decided to try out a 2012 model Trek. Ended up using my old bike as a trade in and coming home with the new ride pictured above. With this kind of reckless spending, I needed a garage/psychedelic rock kind of night. Here's my playlist for [...]

Die physischen Record-Store-Day-Mixtapes waren rares Gut. Jetzt gibt es das gute Stück als Download. Am Record Store Day wird nicht nur das Schallplatten-Shopping gehuldigt, sondern auch das Verschenken von Mixtapes - zumindest bei 78s. In Zürich und Winterthur wurden deshalb eine auserlesene Käuferschaft mit der "Happy Record Store Day"-CD von 78s belohnt. Wer keines der seltenen Schönheiten gekriegt hat, darf sich folgende Songs auf den heimischen Computer hieven: 1 Acid House Kings / This Heart Is A Stone [...]
![[Listen] Wymond Miles: "Living Yeshua"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4912817_lg.jpg)
Wymond Miles no sólo tiene un increíble peinado, ni toca de manera impecable la guitarra en The Fresh & Onlys , sino que también es la mente detrás de uno de los mejores discos que Sacred Bones puso a la venta el año pasado, el cual llegó a nuestras vidas en forma de " Under The Pale Moon ". En él, no sólo nos demostró que es un excelente compositor, ya que también se dedicó a jugar un poco con sus influencias para sumergirlas en panoramas grises que se ajustan a la perfección a [...]

Certains désespéraient, d'autres trépignaient, mais la patience est aujourd'hui récompensée : Infrasons publie un nouvel article ; le premier depuis plus de quatre mois. Un rythme de sénateur, me direz-vous ; mais un contenu toujours aussi impérial puisque vous trouverez, comme en 2007 , 2008 , 2009 , 2010 et 2011 , une sélection des meilleurs chansons de l'année 2012 ! Trêve de blablas, place aux morceaux. En ajoutant simplement trois remarques : [...]
![[30 - 15] Los 150 Tracks de 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4683624_lg.jpg)
Este conteo se me ha pasado como agua entre las manos, al igual que todo este año que hasta cierto punto, ha sido uno bastante bueno para la persona detrás de todo este experimento que arranco hace ya dos años, con el que debo confesar que desde el inicio nunca tuve la idea de darle una continuidad como lo he estado haciendo en los últimos meses, así que me alegra bastante que muchos lectores que han dado con este blog de manera accidentada, estén disfrutando de las actualizaciones que día con día les vengo a dejar, pese a que existen [...]

Well the end of 2012 is drawing to a close and we've run down the albums that got the most play around RSTB this year. To avoid the list just being a mass of Ty Segall albums Twins (a personal fave of the bunch) takes the place on the list but the other two would have easily made the list, especially the collab with White Fence which got plenty of play around here as well. Some really great releases this year and a banner year for both Drag City and Sacred Bones with some heavy inclusions in our list. [...]

En los próximos días lo mas probable es que las noticias musicales bajen su intensidad, para solo centrarnos en recapitular lo mejor que fue ocurriendo a lo largo de este 2012 que poco a poco ha estado llegando a su fin. Así que como pues mañana se estará llevando a cabo el Record Store Day Black Friday, y en países como el mío tristemente no podemos tener acceso ni al Record Store Day normal, he decidido recapitular 10 de mis sellos favoritos de todo el año, e incluso algunos de ellos se han posicionado dentro de mi lista de prioridades [...]

Brooklyn label Sacred Bones Records is fêting its fifth anniversary with a December 21st gig on the edge of the Mojave Desert. Yes, the label "driven by pure originality and style" is retreating to Pioneertown, just down the road from Joshua Tree National Park, to host its celebration at Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace with an all-star lineup featuring Zola Jesus , Wymond Miles (of The Fresh & Onlys), Psychic Ills , Cult of Youth [...]
Although they've only been around for five years, Sacred Bones have become one of indie's most prolific record labels with ties to such artists as Zola Jesus , Moon Duo , Psychic Ills , and more recent newcomers such as Cult of Youth and [...]
A sensational Sunday: ► The highly anticipated show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery with Sigur Ros happens tonight in support of the Icelandic post-rock band's latest album "Valtari." [That's their gorogeous Alma Har’el-directed video for "Fjögur píanó" above, starring Shia LaBeouf.] L.A. artist Julia Holter opens. ► It's double the fun at the Greek Theatre with performances by Andrew Bird [see his video for "Give It Away" ] and Sharon Van Etten at the Greek Theatre ► Indie poppers Tennis play El Rey Theatre [...]

Wymond Miles may be known as the lead guitarist for the San Francisco-based garage rockers the Fresh & Onlys, but his solo debut "Under the Pale Moon" (out now on Sacred Bones Records) has also been getting attention. Following up his "Earth Has Doors" EP, the full-length is a nice departure from his band's psychedelic pop. Miles is still doing pop, but it's spiked with a heavy dose of romanticism. Songs like "Pale Moon" sweep in and out with loaded emotions and vocals that only bring a sedated Julian Casablancas to mind (hey, the two even look similar), but [...]

If you're looking for an alternative to Outside Lands, or hell, just an excellent show on Friday, head to the Make-Out Room for Wymond Miles (of The Fresh & Onlys) and Young Prisms . Note: it's a relatively early one, with a sharp 8pm start. Wymond Miles, Young Prisms Make-Out Room August 10, 2012 8pm, $8 Related Posts: Video: Wymond Miles - "Pale Moon" [...]

On last November's Radiant Door EP, New York noise-pop act Crystal Stilts continued to brighten the corners of their sound, and the opening cut on the release, "Dark Eyes", is a definite album highlight. Over buoyant guitar strums and wandering synth lines, a peppy round of hand claps keep the track's jaunty rhythm steady. It's all wrapped in Crystal Stilts' 6os psychedelia influences, an aspect given full attention in the track's new video. Recorded during a hometown gig at the Knitting Factory back on December 9th, 2011, the clip has [...]

This compilation is about a week late, and I apologize for that. The first week of July always tends to move quickly. But as I mentioned last month, it's an exciting time for Obscure Sound... despite the lack of regularity ...
![Wymond Miles: June 17, 2012 Glasslands [Northside Festival] – FLAC and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4373401_lg.jpg)
[photos by acidjack] Fresh & Onlys guitarist Wymond Miles proved his chops as a frontman in his own right at this Glasslands show during the Northside Festival . With this particular show being showcase of some of the most promising acts from Sacred Bones Records , Miles easily put himself in that company with a performance that introduced (or re-introduced) the crowd to his solo material, including his most recent record (and second this year!), Under the Pale Moon . A downbeat record that tackles some recent tragedies [...]
