Better late than never, right?
Death from Above 1979 yesterday, and Interpol today. I wouldn’t hold it against you if you thought you’d traveled back to the turn of the century, but here we are in 2014 and both bands seem to be firing on all cylinders. Between “Ancient Ways” and the previously previewed “All the Rage Back Home”, Interpol actually sounds like Interpol again. El Pintor is out through Matador Records on September 9th.
DFA1979 just released a new song, “Government Trash” from their upcoming LP, and while it’s nice and loud, I think I still prefer the previously released “Trainwreck 1979”. It has a bit of a “Black History Month” swagger going on, instead of the straightforward barrage of “Government…”. The Physical World is out September 9th, and it’s shaping up to be a worthwhile successor to You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine, even though both albums are separated by over a decade. 
We done goofed and forgot to posts songs of the day today. Here’s last nights playlist for now, and we’ll get back at it tomorrow. OK? OK.

Who would’ve guessed that one of Kurt Cobain’s biggest influences would be the ones putting out new tunes in 2014, and not Nirvana? V for Vaselines is out at the end of September on Rotary Music.
Shamelessly lifted from Gorilla Vs. Bear, who describes this as “elegant, haunting 60’s French pop-noir vibes.” I couldn’t have said it any better myself.
In a strange turn, Michael Cera (yes, that Michael Cera) dumped an 18 track album on Bandcamp a few days ago. Weirder still, the whole thing is quite endearing, not unlike the type of music you’d expect to soundtrack one of his films.
Ty Segall stopped by Conan to continue his run of impressive late night performances last night. His new album Manipulator is out August 26th, get pumped.

Back from a long weekend out of town, which means I should be able to start posting these daily again. I can think of multiple worse ways to get back in the swing of things than a Le Tigre cover.
