I don’t think we ever posted this live video of Downtown Boys from the Chris Gethard Show. It’s good fun. Radio show is tonight at 8pm.
Mexico City’s Lorelle Meets the Obsolete chill out a bit in comparison to their last full length, meaning “Vocablo No. 1” falls more into the blissed out side of the psych spectrum. “Vocablo” is the band’s contribution to a split 7″ with Cloudland Canyon, who are equally worth your time.
Well, it took a decade, but Charlotte Marionneau is finally releasing a follow up to her debut as Le Volume Courbe. “Rusty” (no relation to the Rodan album, I can only assume) features production from My Bloody Valentine’s own Kevin Shields, who also contributes vocals and instrumentation to the record.
Mr. Gizzard and his merry band of Lizards and/or Wizards keep on churning out the hits. Don’t look now, but the band has another full length due out, 11/13 on ATO Records.
Operator is here to remind us all of the value of the locked-in rhythm section.
I wanted to share this one last week, but YACHT premiered it on a website that would only stream the song when Uber surge pricing was in effect in Los Angeles. Oh, these kooky kids and their gimmicks… Luckily, the band has now provided a lyric video that you can watch whenever you feel like it, rush hour or not.

DIIV appears to be cleaning up the production a bit for their next album, but the songwriting stays twinkly.
I know i’m not writing much these days. Life does what it does. Anyhow, Heaven’s Gate has a new album though and it’s good. Check out this track.
How do you know you’re on a artistic hot streak? When you can release an entire album of cat samples and still be considered a critical darling. Run the Jewels took their victory lap to Colbert’s Late Show last week, with a little help from their friends in TV on the Radio.
It’s Sunday, so you know the drill by now: the radio show is on tonight, 9PM til midnight. Stream it live over at www.wrct.org.
