Letters to Fiesta - Tears Apart

Alex on September 16 2013

It's as if Wu Lyf, Florence + The Machine, and Yeasayer had sex in the guest room at a high school party. Letters to Fiesta's Aphorism EP is an orgy of great sounds. If you need me I'll be in my bunk.

Calvin Love - Destroyer

chris on September 16 2013

You really have to be a idiotic piece of shit to have a howling contest on the street at 4 am. This girl and guy were seeing who could yell the loudest, trading turns, for a good 45 mins. Other people were yelling "shut the fuck up" out of the windows, so I didnt feel the need to join in. I just sat up in bed, in awe of how brain dead they must be... secretly hoping they would be ripped to shreds by a rouge pack of doberman pinschers.

The Blisters - Through You

Alex on September 13 2013

The Blisters new album, Finally Bored, has an undeniable Wilco feel to it. Surprisingly enough Spencer Tweedy (son of Jeff Tweedy from Wilco) is their drummer. Gotta hand it to them - the album start to finish is one of the most unified sounds I've heard in awhile. Which leaves me wondering how much help they received in the studio from one of the world's most consistent bands. In my head the Tweedy's are just musical geniuses and Spencer's genetic code is perfect for creating rocky folky hits all day long. Here's to another generation of great music from the Tweedy family.

Olympic Ayres - Magic

Alex on September 11 2013

I've been scavenging for good music lately with very little luck - finally struck gold on Sound Cloud after a solid two hours of searching. That's dedication, folks!

Lazyeyes - Wait

Alex on September 10 2013

I just shaved for the first time in probably 6 months. My first thought was holy shit my skin is sensitive now - my second thought was that razor must be magical future technology because it just transported my face back in time 20 years. The good news is no one will recognize me so I guess I can go wander around women's locker rooms and stuff -- no wait.. that's if youre invisible. There is no good news, I miss my face rug.

Jodie - Moments in Heartbreak (LOL Boys Edit)

Alex on September 06 2013

Happy Friday you filthy scoundrels. I dare you not to bob your head to this track. Trap music just has that effect, its like ingrained in our genetic code to bob heads whilst traps be trapping.

Ariel Pink and Jorge Elbrecht - Hang On to Life

chris on September 05 2013

The corner I work on is amazing. A constant parade of models, babes in workout clothing, and Liev Schreiber. It's a perfect balance because he is the masculine equivalent of two hundred men put together.

Ploy - VRDSNT

Alex on September 04 2013

The past three days I've had this constant "FUUUUUUUUUUUUU--" going on in my head. Next week I plan on drinking a ton of beer - like a 12 pack of bud light and maybe one of those fuzzy navel wine coolers just to really seal the deal with adult-onset diabetes.

Holy Ghost - Okay

chris on September 04 2013

I was misled by the vibe from their single on this one. As an entity, this album just blew me away. Not by dropping serious disco dance jams, but by bringing a grownup, fully matured masterpiece. They really worked some magic in the studio, with a broad variety of sounds, accomplished with an equally broad spectrum of equipment. These dudes are for real and here to stay.

Hooray for Earth - Same

Alex on August 30 2013

I imagine this band got their name because they wake up every morning all "HOORAY FOR EARTH AND THE INTERSTELLAR EVER EXPANDING EXPLOSION WE CALL OUR UNIVERSE." then they put on flip flops, make coffee, and eat cheerios with no sugar for breakfast.
