This popped onto my radar a few days ago, though I can’t really remember why.  No wait, I think I do.  It was Battle Ave who posted that Emma Tringali from Pop & Obachan performs on their new single.  Anyhow this song is very pretty, in a very winter seasonally consistent kind of way.

Dirty Dishes new album is coming out soon on Exploding in Sound records.  Check out this single from the album.  Pretty great.

This album from the Forth Wanderers is completely relaxing and entrancing.  I chose the song called Fuck.  I gravitated.

I’ve posted Mecca Normal before.  I’ll post them again.  Wondering Sound did this pretty good interview.  Not sure why the interviewer was so obsessed with the part about her aunt, but keep on reading past that.  Lots of good stuff.  And here’s their song about Malichi Richter, a war protestor in Chicago who set himself on fire to protest the Iraq war.

It’s weird.  I had an asthma attack yesterday.  So naturally, I feel like I got run over by a mack truck today.  I was so exhausted that even listening to music, my favorite past time, seems overwhelming. But I saw there was new Battle Ave so I had to listen.  And damn if it wasn’t perfect for my mood.  Battle Ave wins.  Asthma sucks.  And 2015 will be a good year.

Mecca Normal has always been one of my favorite bands.  Or at least since I first heard them circa 1990.  And, being a lot of a tree hugger, and even a tree hugger hugger, songs like this appeal to me.  But I post it now because of this account that Jean Smith posted.  If Ian MacKaye someday has a favorite Stari Most song, my work will be done.

This mix tape, that Kurt Cobain made some many years ago, is pretty good. You can read about the details of it here. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but then what’s good and isn’t an acquired taste?
