Bomboclat! Island Soak :: A Reggae/Dub Mixtape
Welcome to the latest mixtape installment in which I highlight some of my favorite voices online and beyond. Today we catch up with my old friend John as he drops […]
Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra :: Jackson
Penned by Jerry Leiber and Billy Edd Wheeler, and made famous by Johnny Cash and June Carter (their take won a Grammy), “Jackson” hearkens back to the days of classic […]
Ted Lucas :: The Om Album
Ted Lucas got his start playing in a Detroit folk revival band called The Spike-Drivers, eventually leaving to form other groups The Misty Wizards, Horny Toads, and the Boogie Disease. While he […]
Travel by Sea :: Two States And The Blindness That Follows
What began as a songwriting experiment spanning two states, a hi-speed Internet connection, and a shared love of dark folk music, has since morphed into a living, breathing band. Witnessing […]
R.E.M. :: Fables of the Reconstruction (Reissue)
As the last remnants of Summer began to burn off throughout the length of September, the stage was set for taking in the reissue of R.E.M.’s third LP, 1985’s Fables […]
The Surf Creature :: Wild, Weird & Wet – A Compilation
A bit more wavy-gravy than some of the more straight-forward/run of the mill surf comps out there, The Surf Creature delivers 25 instrumental benders with a nod to the bizarre. […]
Deerhunter :: Halcyon Digest
2010 can be summed up as the year of extreme musical escapism. For example, an influential and meaningful genre like “ambient” has been watered down into sub-categories like “witch-house”, “chill-wave”, […]
Cazumbi :: African Sixties Garage, Vol. 1

The Corin Tucker Band :: 1,000 Years
When Sleater-Kinney called it quits (or went on hiatus, depending on your stories) in 2006, it was on the heels of their finest moment – a riotous, gargantuan sounding record called […]
Cotton Jones :: Tall Hours In The Glowstream
We’ve been sitting on Tall Hours in the Glowstream since its August 25 release, but that’s not because Cotton Jones’ latest hasn’t made an impression. Quite the contrary. We were enthralled enough by last […]
South San Gabriel :: All Night Long (Lionel Ritchie)
Denton, TX’s Centro-matic / South San Gabriel quietly release, and tour, their records in relative obscurity. As a longtime fan I’ve noticed diminished returns in not the quality of their work, but in the […]
