I *almost* created a new thread in honor of the random shuffle gods, but for now will just use this thread to post these two songs I was just blessed with, back-to-back, on my flight:

Beach Boys - “Heroes and Villans”

followed by

Replacements - “Take Me Down to the Hospital”

Buzzoven - Hate Box

Low - Long Division

Got tired of just playing quiet instrumental music at my desk.

Bill Callahan - YTILAER

XYZZY - OBELUS

Andrew Sega project that sounds like a popped up late-period Autechre. I dig.

Caroline Polachek - I Give Up

I've been dipping and diving into Chicago's Stuck over the past couple of days. Most recent single was recorded at Palisade and Electrical, with Miranda from Melkbelly guesting on vocals. Ingeniously catchy with restless drumming and twisting atonal hooks.



Can't get enough of "Serf the Web" from Content That Makes You Feel Good, but the entire EP is a jolt of bracing punk rock that keeps your ears on its toes.

Iris - Third Strike

The Alpha Conspiracy - Skeptopotamus
