SOTD #747 – CaStLeS
There seems to be this revival of the 90’s right now, and the new single “Amcanu” by Castles (which is actually CaStLeS, but that’s way too much work to type) might be one of freshest takes on that era. I’m hearing traces of the krautrock of Can and Neu! (both had reissues in the 90’s […]
The return of Everett True | 35. Ye Nuns
I dunno. Sometimes man, I feel obsolete. This is from the press release. On paper, Ye Nuns are a tribute band.

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.
Can – The Lost Tapes (Mute)
Six months ago I wrote that Can music was a universe. Hell, it’s way better than that. It’s a better version of our universe.
Space Punk: The Online Video Years – “Group Pussy Riot burns Putin’s glamor”
This would be refreshing just as regular punk rock performed on a stage in a club, but Pussy Riot only play unsanctioned shows in public spaces.
