The Pins and several other ladies are featured on this Matter of Sound video for International Women’s Day (March 8). It’s a good short video. And Pins talks about having to play without all of their amps turned up and such. And yeah, been there. It’s a new kind of experience. Though they aren’t that stripped down on that video, but still…

Lest you worry that Savages might’ve lost it since their unfuckwithable debut, I present to you this new song they played at a recent stop in NYC.
For some reason, I went into this video thinking I wouldn’t like this band. I was wrong. Reminds me of a noisy indie band merged with uncle tupelo. Hard to argue with that.
It’s just about that time of year for Thee Oh Sees to inevitably drop a new LP. “Web” is off Mutilator Defeated at Last, out May 18th on John Dwyer’s own Castleface Records. If the rest of the album follows suit, it seems like it will be of the Carrion Crawler/The Dream variety of Oh Sees burners, as opposed to their more Kinks-ian leanings featured on last year’s Drop.
…and if you were curious as to how “Web” sounds live, I’ve got some good news for you! Check out the video below.
This is pop rock goodness.
Looking to kill some time on a lazy Sunday? Settle in and watch this documentary on the Tuareg Desert Music Festival that took place near Timbuktu in 2011, just months before rebels overtook the area and began enforcing sharia law.
Once you’re done with the film and checking airfare to Bamako, why don’t you tune into the radio show tonight? We’re on 9PM til midnight every Sunday. 88.3FM if you’re in Pittsburgh, or streaming at www.wrct.org everywhere else in the universe.
I love this.
Local Pittsburghers, the Gotobeds.
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.
