FUCK YEAH: Standards
MP3: Pissed Jeans - Sam Kinison Woman
As of today, there is no good current music to speak of, so here is a track from last year's "Sam Kinison Woman" by Pissed Jeans. Can't wait until they put out LP4 and blow all of these mother fuckers away.
Mission Complete
Wednesday, April 27, 2011
I was going to call this post "Tuesday Bruiseday" but then I realized it's Wednesday
The Skull Defekts have been at the forefront of the Swedish noise scene the last few years, along with personal favorites Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words. Although the latter has just concluded, The Skull Defekts are still going strong having just released "Peer Amid" on Thrill Jockey. While this is a heavy album, it is by no means suffocating. Instead, "Peer Amid" succeeds in tonal balance and experimenting at times, meaning each member gets their moment to shine while the others are there supporting either rhythmically or texturally. Enjoy.

Wet face.
MP3: Little Wings - Sandy Babe
I still plan on doing a post on Little Wings' very, very great new album "Black Grass" that came out a few months back, but seeing as the day is just so goddamned beautiful I'm going to grace you with something else first. "Sandy Babe" was a digital single given away by his imprint Rad Records back in 2009. It always screams summertime to me.

FUCK YEAH: Pussian Wars
MP3: Black Pus - I'll Come When I Can
Brian Chippendale sure is a busy man. Between Lightning Bolt currently being on tour, his recent opus If-N-Oof and the now on hiatus Puke Force series (most likely due to the touring) he sure has been keeping fans busy. What's more—he's saving the gems on his recent Black Pus records for the last track (see "Body On The Tide" from All Aboard The Magic Pus). The track we have here for you is just that, the calm after the body slam that is every Black Pus release. Enjoy.
Holy shit this fucking postcard is a vinyl record.
Vex Ruffin - Losing Control by stonesthrow
The deservingly legendary Stones Throw keeps throwing us all some pretty great wild cards to play with. As if their work with Connecticut's great band the Stepkids weren't enough, they've now announced a new signing in Los Angeles' Vex Ruffin.
Oh, but it gets better: to best promote the lo-fi rockin' psychster's great single "Losing Control", they've pressed up (I shit you not) a postcard 45 vinyl. Side A is the track, Side B is where you put a stamp. Holy shit right? One is coming my way in the mail and once I get it I'll be sure to gush about it further.
But you should buy your own right now right here: http://stonesthrow.com/store/single/vexruffin/im-losing-control-postcard-single
So killer. 21 century y'all!
Video: Winner by Cheeseburger
HEY EVERYONE: A new Cheeseburger and a new season of Superjail! means life is pretty fucking good. As is universally known, the talented Christy Karacas doubles as guitarist and co-creator of said entities and the two have come together to produce this killer video. "Winner" appears on May 3rd's "Another Big Night Down the Drain", from Williams Street Records.
FUCK YEAH: Pacific sandwich
MP3: Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter - Hushed By Devotion
Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter have never written a bad record. Ever. But while they're always completely great, nothing from their camp was ever fuck yeah worthy... until now.
Perhaps influenced by recent time spent with Southern Lord, the opener to their newest LP "Marble Sun" will slowly burn throughout until a burst of fire proceeds to melt off your face. The rest of the album follows suit, though in a more subtle approach, and obviously this one is not to be missed.

Nice Vadge Cover
Here's a track from the new Bonnie 'Price' Billy and Matt Sweeney collaboration. We're as stoked as you are for the return of the Superwolfsmen. Enjoy.

New Cults: Abducted
MP3: Cults - Abducted
More new Cults material continues to come into light as we get closer to their eponymous debut, out June 7th on Columbia imprint In the Name Of.
They're still sounding wonderful, though I must say the remix on the b-side for this single by The 2 Bears is on the list of all time worst remixes. Like seriously, it's every example of why they don't ever work.
The 2 Bears are a fuck no, while Cults thankfully continue to be a fuck yeah.

New Karl Blau: Celebrate By Singing
MP3: Karl Blau - Celebrate By Singing
It's always rewarding to be a fan of Mr. Karl Blau as he is both prolific and consistent, the rarest combination. On May 10th he and K Records will release "Max" a 4 song 12 inch of that classic KB groove, the usual smooth and a bit of a subdued attitude.
Preview now with "Celebrate By Singing" and order a copy when you can.
FUCK YEAH: Tyranasaurus
MP3: Ty Segall - The Slider
I had never heard the actual sound of fish being thrown into a barrel before now, but that's expected when Ty Segall does T. Rex covers. "Ty Rex" is out now on Goner.

FUCK YEAH: Stoning
MP3: Bass Drum of Death - Nerve Jamming
MP3: Bass Drum of Death - Young Pros
Here's another band that is actually giving rock and roll some goddamn hope: Bass Drum of Death's album "GB City" initially drove me in with that bad ass album cover you see above this text, and the music it contained was just as worthy of high praise. These guys never stop ripping, ever. It is a killer one for putting on while having a pint and some grass. Well done dudes and also Fat Possum (again and again)!! Cop this shit now!

MP3: Ty Segall - Hey Big Mouth

Oh did she?
MP3: Those Darlins - Tina Said
Just checked out Those Darlins' LP "Screws Get Loose" today and it's pretty cool. Pretty rockin' stuff, give it a shot.

HOT TRAXXX: Lofticries
MP3: Purity Ring - Lofticries
At last, the 2nd song ever from Purity Ring, "Lofticries", which will grace the b-side of the excellent "Ungirthed" single, out April 18th on Transparent. Hot damn!
FUCK YEAH: Future Crimes
I guess it's only expected that the first proper Wild Flag recordings rock as hard as they do. What we have made available for you hear is the A-side from their Record Store Day 7" via Merge, while NPR has a stream of the B-side available. It's no real surprise that this supergroup have kicked it off immediately, and now we only have higher hopes for the full length.
