Mike Turner’s Best of 2013
2013 is finally over and I hope I never have to look back on it past this point. I can say now this has been the most dreadful of all my years knocking me down constantly as I come to terms with a divorce and try to pull myself back up and hope for motivation […]
Single of the week: Cosines – Hey Sailor Boy! / The Answer (Fika)

Dum Dum Girls had a massive year — the Coke Zero of the indie world. You know, same taste as the original formula but not as filling.
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.
Single Of The Week: Future Twin – Bad Seed (self-released)
Sun, fun, shorts, shades, the beach, the party never stops and the caring never starts.
Single Of The Week: Wild Moccasins – Gag Reflections/Summer Of Love (New West)
They are parts c86 a la Shop Assistants, tender jangle pop a la The Sundays, at times even a bit dreamy like Lush. I just want them to find their American side and fuck shit up bit and let loose.
Single Of The Week: The School – Never Thought I’d See the Day EP (Elefant)
Treat yourself to a single by what will be your next band crush and start saving up those pennies for the album.
