Not new, but the Reatards are fun. Even with the basically offensive name.
Been on an adventure lately? Maybe this will help get you off your ass.
Was checking out some of the bands on the Blackest Ever Black label. I found a few good ones (as you’ll notice over the next few weeks), but this is my favorite this far. Raspberry Bulbs = Steelpole Bathtub with even more creepiness. So while this song is called “Light Surrounds Me” I assume the lyrics are about how they are darkness or some such.
Happy Birthday mom! Not a song about mom.
Nice to see that Parker and Co. have figured out how to pull of most of his studio tricks in a live setting.
There’s a lot going on here, mostly positive (I see you back there, Warren Moon). Casablanca’s droll vocals can still be charming in the right context, and it’s nice to see Beth play something besides “brooding frontwoman”. But the best thing here is the song itself, a cover of a one-off collaboration between Lydia Lunch and early Danish punks Sort Sol.
From a new EP by Rat Columns which is basically David West’s solo thing. Not surprisingly great.
You might’ve heard me play this one on the radio show a few times, but now you can experience it in video form.
This is great indie psych rock. These folks apparently hail from some fortified municipality in the Netherlands.
This synth hook will be stuck in my head for days, so might as well get it stuck in yours, too.
