Thurston Moore x 12 String Meditations For Jack Rose

A message from VDSQ:
"VDSQ Solo Acoustic Volume Five- 12 String Meditations For Jack Rose.
Solo, untreated, 12-string compositions in tribute to one of the greats. An album of instrumentals in requiem."

Vinyl only- February 2011. This is probably going to make me want to get a 12-sting axe all the more.

Usually these dudes don't do it for me...but then I saw this guy!

Jogger x "Nephicide"



This video is hilarious...although I'm not sure whether or not to take the metal/indie-pop stylings blend as a joke or something valid.

Tim Hecker x "Hatered of Music"

For me, artists like Fennesz and Tim Hecker make great 'walk to the subway in a foot of snow and ice' music...and we have some prefect timing here because a little bird (actually it was a gnarly New York pigeon-rat) told me that it is going to snow 8-14 inches tonight and that I should check out a new Tim Hecker joint: "Hatered of Music" from Hecker's upcoming Ravedeath, 1972 - recorded in Reykjavik using a pipe organ as the main sound source manipulated with computer plus synthesizer, piano, and mic and guitar amp feedback).

Kurt Vile x "Jesus Forever"


I'm really into every last song I've heard from this guy recently and "Jesus Forever" is especially a treat. New record out 3/8.

Check it out HERE.

No Age x Letterman



Whoa.

Pete and the Pirates - Winter 1 from Stolen Recordings on Vimeo.


Here's a taste of the new Pete and the Pirates record out sometime this year - promising stuff.

The Heart is a Drum Machine



Here's the trailer for a documentary exploring the connections music makes with people and the relationships it can form with them...looks pretty interesting.
