I HAVE NO BLOOD
Along with Bass Drum of Death and Unwed Teenage Mothers, FLIGHT is making Mississippi look like one of the best places for rock bands to spring from… must be something in the drugs. I guess we shouldn’t just pigeon-hole FLIGHT as “rock” though — shit’s like a grungey drug-binged pill-infused cough-syrup-sipping dreamboat. So sort of…

CHEVEU POUR VOUS
Les incompetent… Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soire… we don’t know much French, but we get down on some French music pretty regularly. One of the best French bands going right now, Cheveu, have a new album dropping at the end of the month sometime courtesy of Born Bad Records [same label that put out…
RIDIN’ THE WAVE
SNAKEHOLE We’ve been on a total girl-band binge lately. I mean, just look at some of the posts we’ve made over the last couple weeks [Midnite Snaxxx, Shannon & The Clams, Kelli Peach, blah blah blah] Can’t really pinpoint why we’re so hooked on it right now, but we’re not gonna complain either. Snakehole is…
WANDERING WONDERING
We love Los Beets. And the love doesn’t stop with just them. Juan Wauters [pictured above] writes a good majority of all The Beets songs himself. He self-released a cassette a little under two years ago and the majority of those songs have become Beets jams [It’s since then been rereleased on Captured Tracks for…

BEHOLD THE WILLIAM TYLER
Feels like we were making a post just yesterday about WFMU showing one of Nashville’s favorite sons, William Tyler, some much deserved love. Today it looks like he’s getting even more of that from the bad boys [good boys? good boys and girls? Are we obligated to be more PC with them?] over at NPR…
DANCING IN THE STREET
It’s been a minute since we’ve checked in with our favorite Texas boys [Seriously, these three guys make up like 7 of our favorite Denton/Austin bands] but we checked out the Bad Sports myspace the other day and found that they’ve got some new jams up. Looks like the bad boys have found themselves set…

DAN MELCHIOR UND DAS FREE
We love free stuff. Especially when it’s a free record from Dan Melchior und das Menace. Their new LP, Catbirds and Cardinals, was supposed to see a vinyl release sometime this year but it looks like that’s not really panning out. When life gives you unpressed records — make lemonade. They instead sent the record…

BREAKIN’ HEARTS – HEARTS ATTACKIN’
If you’ve been paying attention to the interwebs this week, you probably noticed a lot of talk about our favorite Mississippi bad-boys, Bass Drum of Death. Word on the street is that they’re gonna have their full length debut this February courtesy of Inflated Records. We can’t wait. Especially after hearing a little teaser off…
