Apologies to Buffalo Tooth for me posting this the same day the new Sleater Kinney song sees release.
Audio
I have NO IDEA how I missed this. but Sleater-Kinney has a new album coming out in January. And they posted a new song on the internets. And i’m all like wtf. How did I miss this!!!
Here is that new song. They are playing in Pittsburgh on March 1. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
I could stretch and make the claim that this is vaguely music related, since Interpol’s Paul Banks is one of the guests on this episode of Scott Aukerman’s Comedy Bang Bang podcast, but the real reason I’m posting it is Horatio Sanz, of SNL fame. He makes me laugh out loud to myself at least a half dozen times over the course of his appearance. He shows up (as Aaron Neville) around the 36 minute mark, though a “sound proofer” who sounds suspiciously like Sanz makes a brief appearance around 22 minutes in, too.
Never heard of these folks before, but enjoy this classic sounding rock ‘n roll from Philly. I found this via the Big Ups. Silly rabbit hole.
Coast through the remainder of your Friday on some soul vibes, courtesy of Mr. Bridges.
The VSS is one of those bands I’ve always sort of been aware of (mostly owing to my year long Gravity Records kick in college), but never got around to listening to until recently, which turns out to be a real shame. In hindsight, it’s sort of embarrassing how many times I’ve listened to These Arms are Snakes and thought, “Man, I wish there were more bands that sound like this,” when The VSS seems like such an obvious influence on them. Better late than never, though, I suppose.
Seems like we’re always posting something from Ovlov. But I like them. Found this via Wondering Sounds who said:
There’s some of the same gurgle-and-pound that defined Dinosaur Jr.’s classic You’re Living All Over Me, but Ovlov are less stingy with hooks.
I do like Ovlov, but I wouldn’t mind if they were a bit more stingy with the hooks. It can still stick in your head which dino jr has done to me for years. Still, this is a good song.
In keeping with yesterday’s theme, the opening track of Dune Rat’s self titled LP might not be very deep, maaaannnnn, but goddamn if it ain’t fun anyways.
Who needs subtlety when you can bash out anthems like this?
I picked this up after hearing about it via the 7 Inches blog. If you aren’t following the 7 Inches blog. You should be.
