Beck's Record Club x Beck / Thurston / Tortoise x "One Man's Dream" (Yanni)

I continue to be amazed by this edition of Beck's Record Club.  I mean, Yanni?  Noise?  Good?  I actually hope they press this 1-day collab (1 day?!) because it's seriously good.

No Age x "Everything in Between" Cover Art

No Age will release their new burner on September 28 via Sub Pop which will follow new single "Glitter" on August 24.  Designed Brian Roettinger put together the images.

JEFF The Brotherhood x "Mind Ride" Video

Check out the new JEFF video...black metal dudes, fire, human sacrifice (with a guitar!) and the brothers JEFF. Ridiculous.

Liars x Daytrotter Session

Head on over to Daytrotter and download the new Liars session they recorded on Monday.

2010: Up To This Point [Albums]

...and today take a look at just a few of the records that have been on high spin around my confines up to this point.

2010: Up To This Point [Songs]

We've reached summer and we're well into 2010's second half.  After the jump, take a look at some cuts I've dug deep this year.

Unarchived - 2008: The Year In Music That Wasn't

So I was digging around my hard drive this evening and came across (by chance?) a document which I composed at the end of 2008.  Crudely, I sent this gem formatted in MS Word to my unsuspecting friends' inboxes instead of putting it on the www.

Take a gander at this highly opinionated summery of my 2008 music release let-down.

New Clientele x "Jerry"

Check out the first song making the promo rounds for the new Clientele mini-LP called Minotaur (out on, sigh, CD August 31 via Merge). This band is always solid, not straying much from their pastoral-psych formula but here they add a few aggressive guitar sounds to the mix. Dig it.

Listen: "Jerry"

New Dungen x "Marken Låg Stilla"

Take a listen to the first taste of Dungen's heady new record (song: "Marken Låg Stilla" / record: Skit I Allt) which happens to be the last track on this (hopefully) psych monster.

Skit I Allt is out September 14 on Mexican Summer.

Listen: "Marken Låg Stilla"

The Jameses x "The Haunted Rider"

Check out the new single from Florida's the Jameses which is featured as the A-side on their new Captured Tracks 7".

Listen: The Haunted Rider
