Single of the Week: Mil Mascaras – Fuzz EP (Hozac)
In my perfect world, everyone would be giddy about the fact that you can now get your hands on a copy of a re-released Chin Chin LP at a reasonable price.
Song of the day – 524: Jib Kidder
Such fertile imagination in a song. Musical discovery of 2012.
Holly Herndon – Movement (RVNG Intl.)
Movement is an auditory feast. It’s no Bob Dylan but then John Lennon was no Kraftwerk, you know what I mean?
Song of the day – 523: Sleigh Bells
I like this 21st Century groove, the cut-off jeans, the shadow boxing, the way everything is distorted and MEGA and seizure-inducing. the shallowness of the concept and the embracing of the NOW.
Clinic – Free Reign (Domino)
Like The Fall, Clinic is always different/always the same. You know what you’re going to get but you don’t know how you’re going to get it.
Song of the day – 522: Glass Candy
I know. Glass Candy, right? So fucking obvious, right?
Naomi Punk and Misplaced 90s Nostalgia
We’re in Amherst, dudes. Or Olympia. Or whatever town your musical heroes were from. You need to do better than this.
Stuck in traffic outside a Coldplay concert in Brisbane
The whole affair had taken up 120 seconds. The longest two minutes of my life.
Single Of The Week: Man or Astro-man? – Defcon 5 (Chunklet)
Man or Astro-man? do their thing and while they didn’t create surfy sci-fi rock they definitely set the bar for everyone else who tries to be judged against.
