Listen Before You Buy

TweetShare This pleases me greatly. Greatly,  I tell thee! Last year the two dudes from Lafayette, Colorado that compromise Gauntlet Hair burst onto the “scene” with the pitch-perfect noise-concoction of debut single “I Was Thinking” and a couple of other jams equally as raucous.  The pair then released the single on vinyl via the newly-minted Forest [...]

TweetShare For those of you (mainly bloggers and writers) who’ve had this album for the last few weeks you’ll know just how good this is. For those of you who haven’t then you’re about to be bedazzled. It’s been over a year since Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin sauntered onto the scene as Cults with [...]

TweetShare I think it’s only fair that since they pushed back the release date of their eagerly-awaited debut album, that they put a new non-album track out there for us to hear, right? The song “Make Time” is listed on the Irish iTunes store as a single with a release date of May 6th meaning [...]

TweetShare If the world’s supply of wax runs out then you know who to blame; Yuck, that’s who. Why?  Because they’re releasing a new frickin’ vinyl every two weeks.  Or at least that’s what it seems like.  Part of me is complaining (the part that holds the wallet) and part of me is rejoicing (the [...]

TweetShare With every new song that I hear from Cults, my anticipation-chubby gets that little bit more anticipatory. Does that even make sense? I don’t fucking know, but with the rash of new bands that came out last year and released/are releasing an album this year, Cults and Yuck might be the only two who [...]

TweetShare This post is a “QuickPick”.  QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in [...]

TweetShare Unless you’ve seen Cults live in the last 12 months then this new song is the first in close to a year (except that “Oh My God” one they did with accompanying weird video). This time in 2010 they had only just come bounding onto the scene, layered-guitar-driven-dream-pop in tow.  They had upload three [...]

TweetShare  I’ll tell you this right now; If Yuck don’t release a single and video for every song on their debut album I’m gonna flip my shit. Thankfully they’re well on the way to do doing that, what with latest single and video being “Get Away”, filmed (presumably) on their recent tour of the U.S. [...]

TweetShare You know that dude who likes to pit two animals together and watch them fight, and then he records it and posts them to his site to the delight of the internet?  What’s that site called? Yeah that’s the one, Gorilla Vs Bear!  Anyway, the dude just dropped a remix that Toro Y Moi [...]

TweetShare One of my most anticipated albums of this year is down below for you to hear, and it was just given an excellent 8.1 on Pitchfork. It’s an album I’ve spoken a lot about over the last past 12 months but Yuck‘s debut self-titled is finally here, even if it does omit one of [...]

TweetShare ALRIGHT!  FINE! I admit it, I really like Yuck‘s debut album, you happy now?  For those unaware I was initially met with disappointment upon my first couple of listens, but I took a break, listened to Starfucker‘s new album and revisited it a week later, ears afresh.  It’s a really great album and if [...]

TweetShare You may remember me gushing all over Yuck last year (and this year so far) about how much I’d fallen in love with them.  Welp, I gave their album a listen a guess what?  I don’t really like it. sadface Admittedly though I’ve only listened to it a couple of times and neither were [...]

TweetShare Ok, so it’s not new, but relatively few people have heard this as it was the accompanying b-side on their second 7″ single “Out, Don’t..” that was released back in October on Mexican Summer. When I initially got the 7″ I had just a shitty 1979 Light & Sound machine portable turntable that I [...]
