I’ve posted from the new Half Japanese before. But I like it pretty well so here is a video from the new album as well.

How about back to back kill rock stars posts? This video is just too great to wait.
Sometimes we need a classic to get us going.
Mecca Normal has been remarkably consistent over the years. I played a track from their new album back in July. Well, here is another one. And you know, enjoy it, and buy the new record, because if you have musical taste, you won’t regret it. I know, big caveat. But at least it’s completely objectively measurable.
This song has me mesmerized. I’ve listened four times straight. I don’t know Sea Haven well, and i’ve only listened to 3 songs on this lp, but two are very good. Take that for what it’s worth. Also, it’s a good song title I think. Don’t you agree?
Saint Seneca has that introspective thing down pat.
This is one of those excuse posts. I wanted to post this live video of Saint Seneca performing for an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, which is apparently a thing.
I like this somewhat more mainstream genre of sound.
I posted an Air Waves song a couple of weeks back. With it, I posted a pretty good cover of Air Waves by Naked Hearts. I’ve been intending, ever since, to post some original Naked Hearts. So here it is.
Ovlov have done us the favor of making it simple to find their most epic tracks by naming them all “The Great” something or other. This one settles into a nice groove, and then things start to get crazy around three minutes. It’s off a split the band did with Ex-Breathers, Woozy, and Gnarwhal, out November 18th on Community Records.
This band can be kind of hit and miss with me. But I liked this one. Another band playing Riot Fest in Chicago.
