THE RUNDOWN – 5.20.2013 – 5.26.2013
WHERE DA POOL AT? It’s getting hot, Nashville. Summer’s upon us, and it feels GOOD. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s gonna be a slow week for shows, but that doesn’t mean things will be completely dead. Cheap Time is playing at Ye Olde Stone Fox tomorrow, and R. Stevie Moore and Deluxin’ are playing at…
ILLEGAL AND FREE
TWO WORDS: FUCKIN RIPPER. That’s the best way to describe Milk Music’s new LPÂ Cruise Your Illusion that came out last month via Fat Possum. Mixing the best elements of the Wipers, Husker Du, and maybe even a little Neil Young, Milk Music have really set the bar with this one with Nick Coxen’s shredding ability…

OBLIVIAN AGAIN
We read the blogs, we check the boards, we keep out ears close to the ground, but still we somehow miss out on big news from time to time. Case-in-point: a track from the new Oblivians record was released a month ago! Did you know that shit? We did not know that shit. The track,…

SLEEPER CREEPER
With him not tour as much and seemingly putting his focus on Fuzz, we were beginning to wonder if we would get a solo offering from Ty Segall before the end of the year. We didn’t have to wonder for too long as the Golden State Warrior announced plans for his next LP yesterday. Sleeper…
THE RUNDOWN – 5.13.2013 – 5.19.2013
It’s Monday. Did you tell your mom you loved her yesterday? You better hope so because there are some pretty sick shows with parental ticket prices this week (also moms deserve all the luv they can get. Rodriguez is tonight at the Ryman, and Kris Kristofferson will be there on Wednesday. For more attainable shows,…
NEW WEIRD NEW YORK
After releasing one of the best records of 2012 (looking at you Hank Wood & the Hammerheads), we haven’t heard to much out of the Toxic State Records camp lately. That doesn’t mean they haven’t been doing anything. It just means we’re a bunch of jabronies and are in need getting the low-down from our…

JUST MELT
Our favorite bogus bros have been hitting the road hard lately: tours, Coachella, and opening for the Flaming Lips. Baby boys are moving on up, and a couple days ago, we were treated with the first new material from JEFF since the release of Hypnotic Nights last summer. The track, “Melting Place,” is included in…

POP GOES THE CRONIN
We’ve been repping Mikal Cronin’s magic for several years now. It seems like only yesterday that Moonhearts were playing at Glenn Danzig’s House. From his time with them to his collaborative efforts with Ty Segall to his solo debut two years ago on Trouble In Mind, we have always been clear on exactly how we feel…
