MP3: Hello Saferide - I Fold

Let's have a killer weekend. Here is a b-side from last year's really great "More Modern Short Stories From..." by Hello Saferide. It totally wouldn't have fit on that record, clearly, but it's still completely awesome as it's own thing. This one showed up in October on Razzia's "There's A Razzia Going On Volume 2".

Take it easy everyone. See you Monday, I'm sure we'll be posting a best of at some point so watch out.

Hello Saferide: Anna

MP3: Hello Saferide - Anna

The great thing about Hello Saferide is that she's consistent, which seems to go unappreciated around these parts. Hopefully the upcoming "More modern short stories from..." will change that. Check out and enjoy the mp3 and video for the single "Anna". The record comes out September 24th from Razzia. Hopefully It's a Trap! will have some copies for us gents in the States sooner than later.

MP3: Maia Hirasawa - And I Found This Boy

NOTE: Today's blog comes from my good friend Matt Giordano, who will guest here from time to time. Fuck yeah.

ALSO: I am throwing up the mp3 and video for "And I Found This Boy" on here because I was planning on posting it anyways. The rest is all Matt. Enjoy.

With the year finally beginning to get in swing with March and April really being the start of a ton of new releases, I've chosen to bring what I consider Razzia's major Spring release, the debut full length "Though, I’m Just Me" by Maia Hirasawa. It's lead single the highly uptempo singalong “And I Found This Boy” will be a great track to get people’s attention (as it has begun making appearances on various mp3 blogs) and rightly so—it’s a stellar track. However‚ the bulk of the album goes along at fairly a slow pace‚ filled with beautiful songs. Here is‚ what I consider right now‚ my favourite track on the album—the glorious and wrenching “You And Me And Everyone We Know”. I hope you all will enjoy this as much as I have been.
