The return of Everett True | 3. Per Purpose
Just cos I’ve slackened up on writing this series doesn’t mean I’ve stopped listening to music, y’know?
SOTD #681 – Vulture Shit
“We’re Vulture Shit…which is the worst kind of shit” I’d been a-thinkin’ for a while that Sleaford Mods, the post-punk rant rap sensation sweeping the UK nation, deserved the Collapse Board treatment. But three things happened this week that shut down this idea. 1. This Guardian article, which basically claims that the NEW THANG will […]
Song of the Day #680 – Dog Chocolate
“DOG CHOCOLATE, DOG CHOCOLATE, ISN’T FIT FOR CONSUMPTION” It’s best when new bands just slap ya in the face.

Song of the day – 676: Childbirth
“I only fucked you as a joke!” sing the ladies in Seattle’s Childbirth. Ow.

This song spills over with as much joy and innovation (both prime pop ingredients) as a kindergarten art class and is just as fun, splashy, bright, intent and contrary.
