FEARS AND WEIRS
Ladies and gentlemen, Angel Olsen has announced her next record. Burn Your Fire For No Witness will be the Chicago heartthrob’s third full-length; her first since teaming up with Jagjaguar. Now the record doesn’t come out til February 18, but our sweet Angel has graced us with a single and a music video to match….
AND EVERYONE AGREES
Cate Le Bon is hardly a new kid on the block. The Welsh-born, LA-based artist already has three records under her belt, the newest of which, Mug Museum, came out last month on Turnstile Records. It’s a psych-laden affair not dissimilar to her previous efforts, but what does set this album apart is that Le Bon…
THE RUNDOWN – 12.2.2013 – 12.8.2013
It is with a full belly and heavy heart that we inform you that this week is looks a little whack. Not tryna be a downer, just telling it like it is, y’all. There aren’t very many shows happening this week and barely any are worthwhile. Catch Bad Friend at Stone Fox on Saturday, or…
LISTENING TO LOU REED
Today marks one month of Lou Reed being gone. Having not had any personal relationship with the man, it’s difficult to feign any sort of lasting mournfulness.

SING SOME TRUTH
From the Monks to Kris Kristofferson, Light In The Attic has spent the last decade relentlessly proving itself to be one of the best reissue labels in the world, and they’ve got a new project that we’re especially stoked for. There’s A Dream I’ve Been Saving, out this week, presents the extensive output of Lee…
MAJOR PAINS
Good news for all them eager ears out there. Another banger from Wayne County. Growwing Pains has orbited Detroit for no less than two years now and, in that time, their debut has percolated from basement and backyard, to bar and beyond. You might remember that our boys in Pain paid us a visit roughly…
THE RUNDOWN – 11.18.2013 – 11.24.2013
The eternal pursuit of kicks: that’s what the we’re all about, and that’s why we do the Rundown. The Party Godz are working against us this week. The sick shows are few, but they are there. Bombino is at Exit/In on Thursday, Cy Barkley opens for the Misfits on Friday (whoa), and Turbo Fruits play their…
