FUCK YEAH: Black Pus - 1000 Years [MP3]

MP3: Black Pus - 1000 Years

Seeing as my entire life is music and comics, a dude like Brian Chippendale is a sure thing in my book. His newest Black Pus LP, All My Relations (out March 19th), was recorded in an honest to god recording studio and is also his first release on Thrill Jockey.

Check out "1000 Years", the first listen allowed from this beast. What's it sound like? The comic above will answer all inquires.

Enjoy!

Pure X - Things in My Head [MP3]

MP3: Pure X - Things in My Head

I remain a huge fan of 2011's Pleasure, so to say I'm excited for Pure X's new album Crawling Up the Stairs is an understatement. May 14th can't come fast enough!

Mikal Cronin - Shout It Out [STREAM]

Change is the name of the game for Mikal Cronin's newest MCII (out May 7th from Merge of all places). Life changed for him, and he even polished up a tad - no worries though, the edge still remains. Looking forward to hearing more from this, should be a keeper.

FUCK YEAH: Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Poison Apple [STREAM]

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats return to slaughter the masses. I don't know when it'll be available, but Poison Apple is a 7 inch single that will physically exist real soon from Rise Above Records.

Veronica Falls - Teenage [VIDEO/MP3]

MP3: Veronica Falls - Teenage

Great song from Veronica Falls' sophomore album Waiting for Something to Happen. I think this band is fanfuckingtastic; I dug the hell out of their last one and I am really into this new effort. No pressure to you, dear reader. Just sayin'.

;)

The Best Song Ever: Mick Fleetwood - You Weren't In Love [MP3]

MP3: Mick Fleetwood - You Weren't In Love

Mick Fleetwood's solo album The Visitor is a weird one - he doesn't sing on it, he just drums while other dudes belt it out. There are plenty of cool moments on it though, and "You Weren't In Love" is chock full of them. Enjoy.

(NOTE: I don't know why the player is forcing the album to start at track 2, but please skip back one song to get the "full experience")

Sally Shapiro - Starman (feat. Electric Youth) [STREAM]

Always glad to hear new pop music from Sweden's Sally Shapiro, and their newest single "Starman" comes packaged with bonus all-stars: Electric Youth (whom we all fondly remember from the genius Drive soundtrack) co-wrote and appear on the track, giving it a little extra shine... and boy does it.

The Best Song Ever: Bromar - Call Me Up [MP3]

MP3: Bromar - Call Me Up

My friend Derek B. posted this Bromar song on Twitter last week and I've been obsessed with it since: "Call Me Up" comes from a 12 inch single, released back in 1985. and that's pretty much all that's known, but these dudes are too cool.

Colleen Green - Time in the World [MP3]

MP3: Colleen Green - Time in the World

One of the many things 2012 lacked was any new Colleen Green material, but do not fear: this glorious  new year has redeemed the past with March 19's Sock it to Me, and it is quite anticipated by me and probably the whole world too.

HOT TRAXXX: The Men - Electric [STREAM]

It's a new year, which means we can count on The Men releasing another killer album - New Moon comes out March 5th, while the first single "Electric" will be released as a 7 inch later this month, with non-album cut "Water Babies" on side B. Oh yes, I like 2013 very much.
