wooden wand “southern colorado song” live video

PREVIEW: Wooden Wand – “Southern Colorado Song” from We Have Signal on Vimeo.

i had written about mr james jackson toth’s recent wooden wand record blood oaths of the new blues, but then i lost 7 months worth of posts. so its gone, forever… oh maybe google cache has it, but its not the same. still i wanted to make mention of it again, to you dear visitors, cause it is quite amazing. i have been a fan for quite a while now, and looking through my archives it looks like my first take on him/his music was back in 08. his previous two records, 2011′s briarwood and 2010′s death seat both made my favorite records list of said years. i cannot recommend any of these records enough, in fact i would go as far to say they are must hears.

little tybee “for distant viewing”

Posted by doubter on Sunday, April 14th, 2013

little

i have been hearing of atlanta’s little tybee for at least a couple years now, and like a lot of bands, never listened to em. well, its been a lazy sunday morning, and i figured what the hell? firstly, they have a new record cout on paper garden records entitled for distant viewing – i believe it came out last week. secondly, now just going by what i hear in this song, they kind of remind me of beachwood sparks if they had been raised on graceland era paul simon instead of the byrds, zombies, etc. i may be completely off, and i bet i am, but that was my initial thought. there’s definitely a “world” music vibe going on, which the video only strengthens. either way, definitely going to check this record out, sounds like a perfect summer soundtrack. you can stream it via paste, but due to my misguided dislike for said site i wont be linking.

buy it via amazon or paper garden, itunes, or maybe your local shop.

will oldham “gypsy he-witch” off weary engine blues: a tribute to jason molina

Posted by doubter on Friday, April 12th, 2013

GRAVE101

happy friday! i am not gonna muddy this up with a bunch of words and stuff. so here is the info on this molina cover compilation/tribue being put out by graveface records, which i believe is due out on 4.23.

we’re calling this collection weary engine blues, named after a piece of artwork by molina that serves as the cover of this cd release. confirmed contributions so far from: john vanderslice, mark kozelek, hospital ships, lucas oswald, jonathan meiburg, damien jurado, dreamend, brown bird, haunt the house, tw walsh, phil elverum, alisdair roberts, scout niblett, jeffrey lewis, will johnson, the wave pictures, allo darlin, darren hayman, will oldham, herman dune and many more amazing musicians. huge thanks to hugh noble and william schaff for helping get this together so quickly. know that 100% of the profits are going directly (and immediately) to jason molina’s incredible family.

i took the liberty of taking out the info about the screenprint that accompanied the cd cause its sold out… either way, its a double cd made up of a shit ton of of awesome artists, and all proceeds going to jason’s family. i believe you may be able to purchase it, already, via their bandcamp page.

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”

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….

      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 [...]
