yvynyl: Cases in Which I Will Buy New Vinyl →
yvynyl:
I hear a song that rips my heart/mind out and lays it bare to the sun.
I’m in a spendy mood, and listening to a decent new album with a big ‘BUY NOW’ link.
I’ve heard a band’s great single on a blog, and am halfway through listening to the second, even better, single.
My dear friend…

Strange Fires: In Memory of Chris Reimer →
strangefire:
I really want to share this story with you, it seems appropriate now. I met Chris Reimer last summer when I was still playing 2nd guitar in Gauntlet Hair and we did an extensive east coast tour with the Dodos. Chris was touring with The Dodos as a semi-permanent 2nd guitar player and none…

thesoulelectronic:
We updated you on Shlohmo’s Vacation Remixes EP a couple of weeks ago, and today, I could not be more pleased to bring you Nicolas Jaar’s remix of “Rained the Whole Time”. The phrase “next-level” is thrown around too casually these days, and I do my best to reserve it for artists…

Novella - Santiago
At this point I might as well post all four of Novella’s SoundCloud streams for people to enjoy since each one of them is so naturally melodic and guitar-driven. “Santiago” is by far my favorite of the bunch and can be found on the trio’s four-way split twelve-inch release with Echo Lake, Gross Magic and The History of Apple Pie, available now through Marshall Teller...

Black Tambourine - What's Your Game
slumberlandrecords:
Listen to a tune from our upcoming Ramones covers EP from Black Tambourine. They’ve just announced one bonus US show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ on April 9th, so grab tickets while you can.
And remember, the backers for Black Tambourine’s Kickstarter campaign get a unique color vinyl edition of the EP. It’s going to look really good.
video: Chromatics - Lady
disconaivete:
Chromatics are on a roll. Earlier this week they unveiled the video for their Neil Young cover Into The Black and today they bring us another new song and Alberto Rossini-directed video, being the romantic Lady. All of these songs are taken from their forthcoming new full-length Kill For Love, which is going to be pretty awesome based on the three tracks we’ve heard so far. “If I...

SXSW 2012 - Bands to Watch #8 - Future Unlimited
I’m a sucker for heavily layered and melodic new-wave, especially when it sounds like Duran Duran on a three-day bender with Berlin. “Golden” is just one of the many highlights from a collection of tracks I’ve been feverishly listening to from Future Unlimited. So good.
Grab a free download of “Golden” at the duo’s Tumblr.
