sadly, i have been sitting on these new some dark holler tracks for a few weeks now, but as i have said before i have been so freakin pre-occupied with everything life is throwing at me. anyway, these two tracks are from their yet untitled this is american music release which is due out sometime this summer. was a huge fan of their ep, and cannot wait for this cause these two songs are fucking great.

y’all probably know how i feel about remixes, and if you dont, ill lay it out simply, i usually hate em. the only remixes i like are public enemy remixes from the late 80′s – early 90′s. granted there are a few i like, but the majority, not so much. so, when i heard about a remix of probably my favorite song of the year “get me in room,” off my favorite record of the year no one knows what happens next, i had to check it out. its cool, i could do without the rapping, cause i dont think it necessarily fits, but i dig the beats.

oh how i used to love beth orton, then she just kind of fell off my musical map, but still i hold her first two records dear to my heart. well, she’s back, signed to anti and is releasing sugaring season on 10.2. loving this song, so here’s hoping its a return to form.

i have known mr martin rivas for a lot of years, or at least it seems like it. we met via the wilco message board via chicago back when i visited on an almost unhealthy basis – which was about 7 years ago at this point. either way, i knew mart was a musician but never really bothered to check out his work. silly me, or more like lazy me.

oh what a day! first new strand of oaks song, now a new cat power song/record!!!! its off chan’s forthcoming matador release entitled sun, which is due out soon…. song is great, and its an immediately a best of 2012 contender just cause. its her first record in over 6 years – damn the greatest has been suiting me well for a lot of freaking years. well, and the rest of her back catalogue.

y’all know, well those that frequent this joint, that i have a man crush on timothy showalter who is strand of oaks. its not really a crush on him, even though he’s an awesome dude, but his music. to me, its some of the most honest stuff that is being recorded today. his new single entitled “maureen’s” from his forthcoming dark shores continues that trend. i am not sure whats going on, if anything, in mr showalter’s life but its hard not to take “maureen’s” at face value. maybe its purely 3rd person kind of stuff, but to me it sounds too personal. either way, this song is breaking my heart. cannot wait for dark shores. im guessing top ten material without a doubt.
you can download “maureen’s” via the link below or via his bandcamp page.

not sure whats going on here, cause i havent heard anything about a new record, but i may have missed it. either way, a new hip song is always welcomed. you can pick it up via itunes – itunes will open. here’s to opening for a new record, soon…

yesterday, on twitter kathleen edwards posted a tweet which half i cant remember, but the other half was that she stated that her label had stopped promoting her record. at that point, i thought, shit i had not done anything on it and i listen to it quite often cause its quite marvelous. then i started thinking, have i ever done anything one said woman and her music? as it turns out, in 7 years, i have not. really a fucking shame cause she’s really great. i have been a fan since her debut which was in 93 or 94 and is entitled, failer and also her subsequent releases asking for flowers and back to me.

well, looks like i, and probably most of you, missed the boat on this one. superchunk released a limited edition, 350 copies – via the merge store, 7″ yesterday for the song “this summer” with the b-side being a cover of bananarama’s “cruel summer.” you still may be able to find the 7″ at your local shop, but im guessing its going to be slim pickins. either way you can still grab the download via the merge site for 1.98 for mp3 or flac for 2.49.
