I was elated to find this gem while browsing through Sound Exchange in Houston.
Fat Cat released it in 2005 as part of a series of split records. Hope you enjoy.

You may remember in the months past we debuted a couple of short, home-made videos made by Mi & L’au to introduce some of the new songs from their album Good Morning Jokers, out now on Borne Records. If you haven’t given this album a listen, I highly suggest you do. [...]

You know the Beach Boys were in an interesting place when their choruses started spreading fear of the water…
Also pretty surreal to see them at this point..

With the myriad of doo-wop and soul tinged low fi summer tunes this summer it seems appropriate to mention Gino Washington, who is one of my favorite soul artists that although lesser known is still incredible nonetheless. Straight out of Detroit, Gino Washington was known for being a bit more raw, soulful and Rock n’ [...]

I don’t know why it doesn’t dawn on me more often to post up random things I’m listening to that aren’t always the easiest to track down. I think it’s due to our readership being pretty damn musically knowledgeable. For example, last weeks rad commenter who mentioned the similarities between the Real Estate Jam I [...]

This song and video just totally NAIL it. Watch as Jeffro Tull..er Jeff the brotherhood effortlessly rock out on one of the catchiest songs to come out of this whole newfangled return to not-quite-garage-garage movement. Winding its way through every low budget cheesed out rock n roll video moment ever all without taking itself seriously [...]

First up is a song by the Bay Area’s Norse Horse, that with its shimmery guitar and summer shuffle percussion, probably should have made it onto Copper Tones, . They definitely are a band to keep an eye on that hasn’t gotten too much press yet. It kind of sounds like the song was originally [...]

I know i’ve been pretty incessantly hyping the Underwater Peoples bands but this new video for Family Portrait’s Mega Secrets is too great not to post up. I’ve really yet to tire of the song after repeated listens and the home made flame thrower clips that they’ve used to accompany it really make me feel [...]

Jana Hunter and her band (as yet unnamed) are leaving Baltimore after many months of constant, sickening grind and search tactics to try and wield before a live audience the album they’ve wrought. It’s a huge departure from the work Hunter released solo, as Hunter was able to embrace, through her group, her less obvious [...]

If you have a bone in your body that likes good music you’ll be at the Underwater Peoples showcase in Brooklyn on August 22nd. Go here for more info. Now if they could just transplant that line-up across the U.S. to beautiful San Francisco I’d be all set. Can’t accurately describe how excited I am [...]

San Francisco based Girls continue to capture the very essence of SF life with their borderline tongue in cheek catchy songwriting and provocatively quixotic day in the life imagery. Yes, life is mostly like this in SF-when you manage to keep the fog at bay.
Check out the video for Girls new single Lust for Life:

“Old-time rural music remains at the center of my life. It’s a tactile, emotional, aural pleasure — the words are my Shakespeare and my mysteries, the music is my Bach, my pastime, and it makes me want to dance…Classic, timeless qualities in this music endure. For me, there ain’t no way out but nature, and [...]

San Francisco’s music scene continues to completely kill it. I’ve been increasingly blindsided with a lot of great new music being put out here lately. I’ve been cruisin’ the following tune, We Never Go In, off of Tim Cohen’s new solo album The Two Sides of Tim Cohen for the past two weeks and I’ve [...]
