I didn’t post anything over the weekend, so here’s making up for lost time. Enjoy this hour long Butthole Surfers set from 1986.

I recently picked up this album. I think I heard about her via noisetrade? Ah, look at this, I did. Noisetrade sends too many e-mails, but I generally like the concept. Anyhow, Caroline Rose has a great sultry voice and a classic americana blues style. I like it.
Video from the Lower album.
Remember a few years ago when movie studios told us that 3D was the future, then used the technology mostly for salvaging box office returns on kids’ movies that never should’ve been greenlighted in the first place? Well hopefully you kept a pair of those flimsy glasses they gave you so you can enjoy this video to the fullest extent. Visually, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a band fronted by a man who calls himself King Gizzard. As previously mentioned, I’m in Your Mind Fuzz is out on November 11th.
Since it’s Sunday, how about some video poetry instead of music? This shit is pretty good and worth a listen. The poem itself is To Brooklyn Bridge by Hart Crane. More can be found here.
I never knew Bad History Month was one dude. Interesting.
Jim posted about Crush Songs, a collection of lo-fi solo songs from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ frontwoman, a week or so ago. While I find the effort to be a bit hit-or-miss (not necessarily a surprise, considering it’s basically a batch of demos), this live performance of album highlight “Rapt” is a great reminder that Karen has never suffered from a lack of showmanship, even while playing to an audience hand-picked by some company’s marketing department. Seriously, the people in this video would make an IKEA showroom look like Compton by comparison.
I love me some paleo. Sorry about the commercial. I dated this womyn.
Anamai is the nom de plume of Anna Mayberry, and while I don’t know much about the project yet, this smokey, mysterious bit of music from her self-titled EP that she put out last year is enough to convince me to start digging around.
Some Sunday Lute.
