On Topic

Nothing out of the ordinary today, just another cycle of new lo-fi junk that I dish out almost everyday now. On a brighter note I finally got Sleater-Kinney's Dig Me Out today (thanks San Francisco's Nick Barber!). If anything that's what will confined the rest of my day.

I'll start off from the blog which I'm getting most of my material from nowadays, Pop Tarts Suck Toasted. Today they had a highlight on Young Governor, which is admittingly really really good. Here's two single's off of Governor's (Ben Cook) Virginia Creeper 7".

Crystal Antlers have released their single "Andrew" off of their upcoming April release of their new album Tentacles. You know, because I don't have enough of this kind of music. Found courtesty of Pitchfork.

Here's an intriguing single from Ireland band Villagers. If anyone is looking here for spiraling folk music you've actually come to the right place for once. Consider this a surprise then.

By the way, South Park's new season starts March 11 on Comedy Central. Mark it.

Pop Tarts Suck Toasted has another feature from their Blast From the Past series with one of Spoon's first albums Telephono. The album highlights the Texas band's early years where they were often found to be a cheap derivative of The Pixies. Needless to say those taglines didn't stick and the group has become enormous since their 1996 debut.

For those who are wondering how the 90's are doing these days you'd be happy if you watched the Boys Least Likely To's newest video for "A Balloon on a Broken String" off of their upcoming Too Young to Die LP.

And finally, here's a single from Bricolage, who I admittingly have never heard of before (courtesy of Pitchfork) from their debut self-titled album due out in May.
