I just placed a little order from Burger Records including a limited pressing (150 total) of Gap Dream’s self-titled LP on clear vinyl and Lace Curtain’s The Garden of Joy & The Well of Loneliness. Peach Kelli Pop is the latest band to gen the Burger nod and her new album will drop next month on the label. Read More »Peach Kelli Pop: Dreamphone
Last week I returned to the present with only a few throwbacks to the 90s toward the end of the show. The split digital/vinyl show featured new tracks from Sleeping Bag, The Babies, Sweater Girls, Gospel Claws, Suturee and Thunder Power. We also featured a few favorites since the year 2000 with tracks by The Anniversary, Tvärvägen and The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir.

If you listen to my KSVR radio show, you’ll know I’m a pretty big fan of Purity Ring‘s new LP, Shrines. It’s been on steady rotation since I picked it up several months ago. Never seemed to find a good time to write about the band, though. Until now. They have a new video for their track “Lofticries”! Read More »Purity Ring: Lofticries (Video)
I cannot stress this enough: I LOVE getting cool vinyl in the mail. The only thing better is when it’s completely unexpected, as took place with a recent package from Common Wall Media. The label just released Bogan Via’s new EP, Wait Up, on October 29. Common Wall also sent along Put Your Sunshine Away, a forthcoming release by Gospel Claws out November 20. These are both on CD, but here’s the bonus: I also received a 7″ single from each band on colored wax! Read More »This Just In: A Package from Common Wall Media
Tinged with the longing of a hopeless romantic, “I Wanna Go Out” is the first song to debut from Mean Tom, the new six-song EP by DC band Teen Mom.
If you aren’t familiar with The Babies, let me give you a far-too-brief backstory. The Babies began as Cassie Ramone (Vivian Girls), Kevin Morby (Woods) and Justin Sullivan (Bossy). They’ve since added a fourth and will be releasing their sophomore LP, Our House On The Hill, November 13 on Woodsist Records.

Brett and I met up a little before 9:30pm at KSVR, spent a few minutes catching up, then organized the selection of records we would play that night. It was a first for me — having a co-host — and it turned out to be a blast. Friday nights from 10pm to midnight can be lonely and I don’t get many calls, so having someone else in the studio to talk to was definitely an enjoyable experience.

Sam Kristofski works magic on this video for “Fly” by New Zealand psychedelic band Opossom. I’ve been obsessed with Opossom of late, both this video and the band’s LP Electric Hawaii. For “Fly”, the video joins a collective of great ones for the year, including those by Sleep Party People, Mount Eerie, and Pure Bathing Culture. Read More »Opossom: Fly (Video)
I’m a sucker for colorful vinyl, and a pair of new-ish singles by Real Estate on Domino Records are the latest to adorn my collection. I snagged this pair recently on an online auction binge (more from that series of draws coming soon), and have been aching to get this vinyl on the player. These 7-inches highlight “It’s Real” and “Easy” off the band’s 2011 LP, Days. Read More »The Colorful Side of Real Estate
Omaha’s Thunder Power returns soon with a new full-length called Volumes and from it is the song “Spiraling Sky” for which they just released a video. Directed by Lindsay Trapnell, it’s a bit weird with a cartoon monkey from another universe taking a psychedelic journey to earth. Read More »Thunder Power: Spiraling Sky (Video)
