FUCK YEAH: That woman is possessed!

MP3: Earthless - Demon Lady

A while back I posted Danava's song from their split with Earthless and Lecherous Gaze and it ripped! Today I bring you "Demon Lady" by the aforementioned Earthless who rule quite a lot. Serious buy this split, it brings the fun back to the concept and the whole thing jams hard. Fuck yeah!

Sand chillin

MP3: Ty Segall - My Head Explodes

Ty Segall's track from the ace split with Jeff the Brotherhood is an outtake from the still killer "Melted". Get a copy from Infinity Cat.

FUCK YEAH: Can't Help Doin' Wrong

MP3: Witch - Can't Help Doin' Wrong

Gonna post 7 inch tracks today just cuz. Here's Witch's side to a split single with Earthless.

FUCK YEAH: God is alive, rainbows are shining.

MP3: Danava - The Illusion Crawls

After the last bit of touring on Unonou, my #1 record of 2008, Danava dropped off the face of the Earth. Between then and now, they had a secret lineup change and have been writing: exciting stuff.

The first evidence of quality to come is "The Illusion Crawls", a new track featured on a 3 way split 12" with Earthlesss and Lecherous Gaze. It rules to say the least.

Red sets them off

MP3: Women - Bullfight

I'm of two mindsets when it comes to the possible implosion of Women:

- That's a pretty rock and roll way to go out, and it'd be on top
- Their 2 records are some of the best contributions to music anyone has made in the last 10 years and it'd be a shame since you know they have more hits in them

Whatever their fate, they have a new song appearing on a four way split 7 inch from Faux Discx. Buy that here and enjoy "Bullfight", possibly the last statement from a band far better than anything you like.

MP3: Jay Reatard - Fluorescent Grey
MP3: Deerhunter - Oh It's Such a Shame

It's been a full year since Jay Reatard's passing and I'm going to let this post be it for today, as we miss the dude a ton. I wrote a quick blurb last year after getting the news which should still be checked out and heard and today I'm posting his split with Deerhunter where they covered each others hits.

Pitchfork posted an oral history on him that's great because a) they didn't write it and b) it talks mad shit on Matador. Read it here: http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/7916-jay-reatard-in-memoriam/

His Shattered Records is going to release a final single from him, recorded just 2 days before his passing. It's for club members only and there's still time to join. Do that here.

Hope you're partying hard in hell, nuder!

MP3: Soft Circle - Light Bright

The Soft Circle side of the 12 inch vinyl split with High Places is a real revelation. I had caught audible glimpses of them (or him I guess) a couple of times, but what's on here is completely awesome. It's got the right stuff: beats, interesting repetition and killer vocals. A total hit, both jams.

I chose not to post the High Places song, despite being my favourite thing on the split, for 2 reasons: it's too long to just give away and everyone already loves this band. It's totally worth buying though and you get a download code to boot. Pitchfork posted a stream of the High Places track awhile back, which can be found here.

This split is out now from PPM. Keep killing it Dean.
