Jim Picks a Matt Song – Week Ending 7/18/2015

This song from Ultimate Painting was perfect. It just completely fit my mood when it went live. As Matt points out, it’s quite Velvet Underground influenced. The Fake Palms post was a close second. And if you really just need to chill I do highly recommend his post of iNSANLAR.



Matt Picks a Jim Song – Week Ending 7/17/2015

It was a toss up with the Astro Children post from earlier in the week, but goddamn if I couldn’t listen to that guitar tone from Web of Sunsets ring out all night long. In fact, that’s exactly what I might do. Great song for wistfully staring out the window of a moving vehicle, right there.




7″ Highlight of the Week – LVL UP’s Three Songs EP

Sunday, July 12th Radio Show Playlist

You can see our radio show playlist for this week by visiting this post here. Highlights included Cursive, The Telescopes, and a request for My Bloody Valentine.

Ultimate Painting features members of Manchester-based Mazes and contemporary Slumberland torchbearers Veronica Falls. They put out an extremely underrated self-titled debut last year, and they’re already about to follow it up with Green Lanes. “Sanctioned Blues” finds the duo back in their VUish wheelhouse, with just enough bluesy twang to needle itself into your brain and stay there all day.
