Never heard of this Chicago band before this tweet, but I like this tune. And I love cat mugs.
Music
This song is much more enjoyable once the listener is in on the joke. Taken from the band’s 1995 album The Pastoral-Not Rustic-World of Their Greatest Hits, which was not actually a greatest hits album, but rather their debut.
This is a pretty great video from Broken Water. NPR has a nice write up on the emphasis of repetitive tasks.
You’ve all already picked up the new surprise Panda Bear EP, right? It includes the “Mr Noah” single (which will also be on Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, out early next year) and three b-sides from the Grim Reaper sessions.
One of those voices that makes me stop what i’m doing and listen. One of the great ladies from The Be Good Tanyas.
I recently picked up a new split 7″ with Ovlov and Little Big League on it. I really wanted to play some of the Little Big League on the show, but reality struck because she likes the word fuck. I do too. Here is where you can get the record.
For those of you keeping track at home, Parkay Quarts is not an unfortunate typo of Parquet Courts, but rather a side project of sorts featuring a few members of the original band and a rotating cast of supporting players. Here, Andrew Savage channels his inner Reed/Malkmus and has himself a good ramble over the track’s 6+ minute run time.
yikes. Just today, I swore that I was done buying records until the end of the year. I need to save money you know? Well, then I heard this band. WTF. I can’t resist.
Dronin’ Thurston is the best Thurston.
I can’t remember who pointed me to this. But today seems as good a day as any to listen to this incredible amount of lovely.
