There is so much great music out there. Here is some of that good music stuff the kids are all talking about.

Yesterday, I posted that Downtown Boys track. The youtube feed kept playing and Vacation came up.  So I’ve been effectively marketed and i’m the happier for it. So here is a song about co-workers while I rue the vinyl purchases I am currently making.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND.  Okay, I got that all caps yelling bullshit out of the way.  Here is some new Downtown Boys. They have an lp coming out soon, and this is the first single from it. Watch for the new LP on Don Giovanni.  The only totally sad thing is that they are touring with Screaming Females, but not when they reach Pittsburgh.  Sad.

Hop Along is a band I haven’t heard before.  They have a new lp coming out on Saddle Creek Records, so I thought i’d give a listen to some of their stuff. I really like it. At first I wasn’t sure but I can’t stop listening. So I guess that’s a win.  They seem highly influenced by Cursive which isn’t a bad thing. Anyhow, here is a track.

Words are hard. This song is excellent. I really like Speedy Ortiz. They seem to be getting quite a bit of attention. And good for them. Singer Sadie Dupuis lost her dad this past week though. So as much as I like this, it feels so sad to me and my heart goes out to her and her family. And to all of those, and you know who you are, who have lost parents recently. Or ever really. It’s a terrible thing to go through. Anyhow, it’s still a great song worth sharing, so here it is. Hang in there friends and strangers alike.

This is the age of open misogyny. Fortunately, Jean Smith knows what to say about it.  Thank you Jean.  Thank you David Lester.  Thank you Mecca Normal.

Ok, so that’s pretty cool.  But how about mecca normal in a canoe?  wtf?  I know.  Very wonderful.
