THE MODERN GLYPHS
If there’s something you won’t hear us complaining about – it’s the amount of Sic Alps material we’ve been getting since they teamed up with Drag City. After last year’s Napa Asylum and a handful of singles [Vedley, Battery Townsley, Breadhead, and Pangaea Globe] you’d think that Mike Donovan’s got nothing better to do than…

WE OLD – LET’S PARTY
Well – we’re approaching that time again… in Internet years, I think we are about to be like one million years old. But in actual human years – that means we’re about to turn 3! And we are going to blow the fucking roof off this year when we get together to celebrate it this…

WE’RE IN A CLOUD TOO
A while back our buddies at Secret Seven Records released the In A Cloud compilation showcasing lots of up and coming San Francisco artists [like Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Fresh & Onlys, blah blah blah] and while we thought this was a one time thing – we just got word that they’re about to…
ARIEL PINK BABY
We’d been kinda sleeping on this one – but we just gave it a listen the other day and we were pretty floored with Ariel Pink’s latest offering. The follow-up record to Ariel’s Before Today is coming out a little later this August from 4AD and if it all sounds as gnarly as what we’ve…
FULL OF ODDITIES – IT’S TRUE
If you read our posts around here often enough – then you probably know how we like a good reissue. Not to say that we don’t love finding OGs – but sometimes it’s nice when you can snatch up a copy of a record to listen to until the day you finally find that OG…

GOT TENNESSEE BLUES
Remember last week when we talked about William Tyler having a free show at Imogene + Willie and how the single we’re putting out for him would be available soon? Well – we weren’t lying! We’re excited to bring a new 7″ from William Tyler to your record players next week. Of the releases we’ve…
IMOGENE AND WILLY T
If our memory serves us correctly – this Bonnaroo week is maybe the nicest Bonnaroo week we’ve had in Tennessee in like 5 years. Usually the temperatures are already up in the 100s and people are dying in traffic. This year, it’s just like upper 80s while people get bored in traffic. And if you’re…
FUNKY AFFAIRS
It’s been a little while since we’ve heard anything out of the Fergus & Geronimo camp. Their Unlearn album came out in January of 2011 from Hardly Art and the boys moved their bags up to New York where we’ve heard they’ve been busy with a few other projects. Hardly Art just announced a little…
