ronnie fauss “i dont see you”

Posted by doubter on Wednesday, April 10th, 2013

ronnie

top of the day, jerkballs! i hate being late to the game when it comes to some artists, but i cant know about everything no matter how hard i try. this time im talking about dallas based artist ronnie fauss and his record i am the man you know im not – great title. granted, i have not heard said record, but this song, see below, i am totally digging. the record came out last year, but has been recently re-released via new west records’ imprint normaltown. a bunch of people who’s opinion i respect have talked about it including my girl sloane at country fried rock – which if you never visited/listened/read i cant recommend her enough, no depression, etc… if you dig the likes of isbell, dbt, steve earle, etc you will definitely dig mr fauss. cant wait to hear the entire thing.

buy the record via amazon

the mites “slightly removed” & “strike of the mind”

Posted by doubter on Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

mites

if there is a band that can harken me back to my favorite era of music, late 80′s to mid 90′s, i will be a fan for life. for life, i tell ya! hailing from the great state of texas, dont fuck with it, and the lovely city of san antonio are the mites. they bring me back to when my life when i didnt give a shit about nothing, except lil old me. i wasnt a dick, but shit i was like 20, what do you expect? if you dig the likes of yo la tengo, my bloody valentine, eleventh dream day, ride, swervedriver, etc you should fancy these young peoples. music such as this is a perfect soundtrack for so many occasions, but since most of my fondest memories resolve around drinking beer, this would be a perfect summer sunday night, sun going down, drinking a beer somewhere, anywhere, put this on, and just let it settle in. definitely recommended. oh, and the name of the record/ep is spur of the summer. you can stream the entire thing via their soundcloud page.

buy it via their bandcamp page for a measly 3 bucks, but you can also purchase via itunes, etc.

luke winslow-king “the coming tide”

Luke Winslow-King BW_Jason Kruppa

granted, i didnt live in new orleans for a super long time, 4 years, but it surprises me that i never heard of luke winslow-king during my residency. sure i cant keep up with everything, but still i wish i would have. well, as you can guess mr winslow-king lives in new orleans and he has a new record coming out entitled the coming tide which is out on 4.23 on bloodshot records. i am definitely digging his vibe which is absolutely reminds me of new orleans. i just picture me and the wife stumbling into some dark hole the wall at 3 am on frenchmen or pick a street and this song being played. as per usual havent heard the entire thing, but i hopefully will have it in my grubby little mitts, soon.

hiss golden messenger “cheerwine easter”

Posted by doubter on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

haw

honestly, i dont know anything about hiss golden messenger. the only reason why i do know about this record, haw, which i believe was released yesterday is heather of mount moriah mentioned it yesterday on facebook. she sang the records praises, so i figured i would buy it. at this juncture, i am definitely not disappointed, but i am only about 4 songs into it. even as i look for information, it seems sparse, or maybe i am not looking in the right places? hiss golden messenger seems to be made up of m.c. taylor, scott hirsch and pals, according to their facebook page. either way, i am now about 7 songs in – i get sidetracked, and i am all about this record, but i keep coming back to the song “sufferer (love my conqueror) – freaking love it. sometimes you listen to something, like the brass bed record i wrote about yesterday, and it just hits you, hard. in between typing, i have been walking round my house, going outside having a smoke or two, all the while listening, and this is just phenomenal. this may end up my most half baked post ever. cannot recommend it enough.

what im listening to right now: brass bed’s the secret will keep you

Posted by doubter on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013

brassbed_secret_cover

its been almost 3 years since ive wrote about lafayette, la’s brass bed. damn where does the time go? well, they have a new record out entitled the secret will keep you which is out on 4.23 on crossbill records. now this is like my fifth time listening to it, and there is a reason i keep coming back to it. easy explanation as to why, its really fucking good. i rarely ever do this, and in almost 8 years of doing this site, i think i have only done this thrice. with that being said, their pr person, or whoever wrote it, did a bang up job of describing this record. see below….

kinski “conflict free diamonds”

Posted by doubter on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013

kinski

i feel like i should know kinski, but looking at their back catalogue, which spans 14 years, none of it looks familiar. they’ve released records on sub pop, which is one of my go to labels, along with some others, but now they are releasing a new record entitled cosy moments which is being put out by kill rock stars. the record is out today, by the way. again, never having heard em, i dig this song which takes me back to my heavy riffin days, which i look back on fondly. anyone ever listen to these fellas? recommendations. gonna check this record out, regardless.

buy it via amazon which they have for 6.99

stay on the bike “left”

Posted by doubter on Monday, April 1st, 2013

stay

i have been a huge fan of diy/bedroom recordings since the first time i heard lou barlow’s sentridoh sometime in 1994/95, i think. man i wish i still had that tape, the cover was hand done by lou and it was just awesome. sadly, my 1996 saturn, the car i had at the time, ate it at some point. getting back to home recording, its a totally different world out there now. i recorded almost an entire records worth of crap with garageband, and i have zero talent. matt grajcar, on the other hand has talent, and has been recording in his basement/bedroom for more than a decade. well he’s decided to break out and release some of the stuff he’s been recording under the moniker, stay on the bike. he recorded all the instruments/vocals minus the lovely female accompaniment which was provided by his friend, annah. honestly i was a bit skeptical at first, just hearing this song, but after two repeated listens i must admit i am a fan. those two listens led to about ten in a row. oh, and i should mention he is releasing an ep on april 10 which you can purchase via the stay on the bike bandcamp page.

cosmonaut on vacation “up to me”

Posted by doubter on Monday, April 1st, 2013

covac cover LTML v9 pink

happy monday. well at least happy for me cause im off, and its quite lovely here in baton rouge. although i am in the house, so thats mildly depressing. anyway, greg slamen formerly of through the sparks has a new band called cosmonaut on vacation, if you couldnt have guessed, and recently released a single on pals this is american music. the single is a precursor to their upcoming full length record entitled let the moment land which is being released by t.i.a.m on 4.23. one thing they are going to do is record a live ep with les nuby which will then be released after the record comes out. from what i gather quite a few t.i.a.m. bands are going to be doing this as well. great idea in my opinion.

you can buy this single on itunes, listen to it on spotify, etc.

tell me something with nick shattell of not an airplane

Posted by doubter on Friday, March 29th, 2013

not sure how i found found nick shattell’s not an airplane, but i did back in 2009 and i “wrote” about it. either way, i have been a fan since i first heard him and could not be more excited about the double lp that is, hopefully, coming later this year. nick was nice enough to sit down and pound out something for this here place. “get up & go” is the first song off of the new record, btw.

gold and the rush live in baton rouge at mud and water, 3.30.13

Posted by doubter on Friday, March 29th, 2013

gold

top of the day. new orleans band gold and the rush are playing one of my new favorite places mud and water tomorrow night along with the diane lanes – love the name, and liam catchings & the jolly racket. i have yet to really hear them, and as much as it pains me to link to them, paste recently named them one of the louisiana bands that you need to hear. having only heard this song, i cant wholeheartedly vouch for much, but even with that said, i am loving this track which was part of a daytrotter session from earlier this year. i believe i shall be there, unless of course i fall asleep.

check out/buy some of their stuff via their bandcamp page

      hailing from the city of brotherly love, philadelphia, pa the miners recently released their 6 song ep, miners rebellion. one thing i really dig about this ep and these guys is that they arent trying to be anything they arent. they’re great musicians, writing great songs, no gimmicky bullshit and sometimes thats absolutely everything you [...]
