BLACK FRIDAY ON THE MOVE
Thanksgiving is one week from today and that means one week from tomorrow is Black Friday – which also means our buddies at the Record Store Day camp have a bunch of exclusives to drop on all you record collecting nerds before the holidays. While the roster of releases may not be as lengthy as…

MEMPHIS PUNK LIVES
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the debut full length offering from Ex-Cult ever since we first caught them at The Springwater with Cola Freaks, Useless Eaters, and Feral Beat back in May of 2011. And now with it available through iTunes and on CD and streaming in-full on SPIN [and available on vinyl next week] we’ve…
BETTER TO BE KIND
It’s old news at this point, but Ty Segall and his band performed last week on The Late Show with David Letterman and we’d be totally remiss if we didn’t talk about it or bring it up. While we don’t think this is any sort of “peak” for Ty, we do think this is a pretty nice…
HERE TODAY HERE TOMORROW
The guys over at Drag City are making sure we’re never in short supply of new Sic Alps material. This time it comes in the form of a double A-sided single with two new tracks out of the Sic Alps camp and also from Freakapuss. We’ve made slight mention of Freakapuss on here before when…
VISIT FROM THE ALIEN
Like we mentioned earlier in this week’s RUNDOWN, we’re getting a total treat this week with a visit from the legendary Roky Erickson on November 14th. He’ll be accompanied by The Hounds of Baskerville – a band featuring Roky’s son Jegar – and Brooklyn’s Nude Beach. From show reviews and articles we’ve read recently, it…
CONAN THE BROTHERHOOD
Late night television keeps giving us good reasons to tune in. This week it’s a performance from Nashville’s very own Bogus Bros on the Conan show on Thursday November 15th. After the guys’ first two late-night appearances on Letterman and Fallon, we’re excited to see what tricks they’ve got lined up for this one. Be…

FROM THE BIRTH OF BIRTH
Last week we saw news from Hunx about his new record label and then on Friday we caught word of another new label helmed by one of our favorite artists: Tim Presley’s Birth Records. They’re jumping into things by releasing the debut self-titled album of Jessica Pratt. Tim claims that he never really wanted to…
