Three weeks ago, we sharpened our ever-expanding altruistic vision and pleaded with you: do not miss out on this specially limited 10" offering from Neil Michael Hagerty & The Howling Hex.  It's called "Fool's Watch" b/w "Lord Gloves," and while it doesn't technically drop 'til Tuesday, we've shipped every single copy outta HQ already- sorry Charlie! Pray your local bodega ordered some - if so, they're in transit and you can continue to rest your mind! But if not, and since we're in the... (read more)

Whoa did shit just get real or whut?

It's a funny fun world when you've got the means to enjoy it - having security and financial worth, the type which affords cushy accoutrements and play time, big grassy knolls for yards and multiplicative horses and car-bling to boot. For whom does this reality describe? Those living "Like That," naturally, on the other side of your fence, those beyond the view stretching from your tracks. "Like That," the first single from White Fence's soon to be released LP, For... (read more)

....the Sir Richard Bish, that is. Yeah, he's been around the world just like you know he would, bending strings and expanding tonalities while living in Thailand and Morocco during the past year, following an extended residency in Geneva in the first part of 2013. But no matter where you are, time passes quickly, and this is the first time in four years that Sir Rick's playing in some of these United places. Yeah, there was probably some Rangda-ing going on in... (read more)

Hey, "Great" Britain - we know, it's summer. That means endless vacation time, right! So if you are sitting around, wondering what the hell you might do for the next fortnight while you wait for another bank holiday to roll around, why not take it on the bum?

The news is it out! Ty Segall is on the loose again and going for broke this August with Manipulator,an all-new, all-ROCK double-LP, also available on cassette and compact disc.

Fresh beats abound and savage rock sits heavily next to hip-shakin' sunshine pop as Ty sets the kitchen sink on fire! Yeah - it's... (read more)

Bitchin Bajas have been around the world in five years; chasing sonics through space and time, recklessly consuming processes in order to realize their own works and coming up with a diverse lot of conclusions along their path to their singular goal - the shared experience of aural epiphany, the total peace of true unknowing. That's all fine, but in August, the all-new NEXT Bitchin Bajas album after 2013's  trance-tronic Bitchitronics LP/CS will employ four LP sides to attain a 76-minute sequence of PERFECT FLOW,...

Summertime - and the music's - well, let's not say free and easy, since that may send the wrong message to the marketplace. How then, to describe with mere words the next-level new efforts that break ceilings of glass and walls of forth in their attempt to do that what's never been done and win that what's never been won? Yeah! That's what WE'VE got going on in July. What about you - going to see a man about a bridge? FINE. We'll go you... (read more)

As we approach the great white release date for Electric Brick Wall, Black Bananas fans everywhere are geeked and tweaked with the idea of a whole album that sounds like the slay-worthy advance single, "Physical Emotions."  Fuckin' dream on! It's not that nobody could realize an album like that - if anybody could, it would definitely be Jennifer and the band-anas - but they've got better things to do, like making Electric Brick Wall so high and mighty! If you're so into "Physical Emotions,"... (read more)
