RIP Kevin Garcia.
Song Of The Day: Grandaddy, “Miner At The Dial-A-View”
Last Night At The Casino #12
It’s been a little while since the last issue of one of our favorite ‘zines, Last Night At The Casino, but this latest installment is a little different than its predecessors–and all the better for it, too!
Song Of The Day: Cheer-Accident, “Imminence”
Taken from the forthcoming Cuneiform Records release, Putting Off Death.
Song Of The Day: Fluorescent Heights, “Strange Lagoon Found At Nightfall”
Taken From The Constellation Tatsu release, Strange Lagoon Found At Nightfall.
Song Of The Day: Gretchen’s Wheel, “awry”
Taken from the Gretchen’s Wheel ep, awry.
Matata: Wanna Do My Thing: The Complete President Recordings (RPM Records)
Kenyan-based Matata was once hailed as “the best band from Africa,” and this two-disc collection highlights an excellent band that did indeed have great promise–and it also serves to show the dangers of compromising one’s art for commercial success.
Tammy Wynette: Sometimes When We Touch/Higher Ground (Morello Records)
The Eighties proved to be a fallow period for a lot of classic country musicians, Tammy Wynette included. These two late-period records are exceptions to the rule; one, a fine take on contemporary sounds; the other, a true retro country record that featured an all-star cast.
Song Of The Day: The Peacers, “Haptic Chillweed”
Taken from the forthcoming Drag City release, Introducing The Crimsmen.
Song Of The Day: Mercury Rev, “Holes” (Live In Istanbul, 2011)
Taken from the Mercury Rev release, Istanbul 2011 Deserter’s Songs.
Song Of The Day: Xander Harris, “Jaws Of Saturn”
Taken from the forthcoming Xander Harris release, Termination Dust.
