Requested by BJL, JD • Compiled by lizzard gizzardz
A dash of confidence boost, a pinch of the real world, and just a smidge of shrugging it off cause you got this. Good luck!

Cerberus: Ulaan Passerine - Ulaan Passerine
By Jspicer on May 15 2013
Two admirable forces joining under the tri-insignia. Both masters at changing direction, masking their scents to stay ahead of the hunters. Those who are always hunted adapt, so it is of no surprise that after...Show More Summary
Spacemen 3 catalogue receiving deluxe reissue treatment; all drug-dealers’ phones immediately begin ringing off the hook.
Sonic rumination as devotional tribute?
Throbbing repetition as celestial transport?
Conversational poetry as euphoric confessional?
Gospel music for the willing junky?
Pleasure-damaged wasteland or morphine-dripped utopia?

? Listen: Green Gerry - “La La Lonely Maria #1 (Art School Conversations)”
Green Gerry’s Gerry Green (yes…) has kept this particular project quiet since releasing debut album Odd Tymes, which, for my money, still holds up incredibly well. In fact, I’ll go ahead and just beat the dead horse here: that album is fucking great. Show More Summary
Interview: Ryan Power
by C Monster • May 2013
Since last year’s LP I Don’t Want To Die on NNA Tapes, Ryan Power has been stirring up love and affection in the pop scene. Lyrically, I mean. And late this spring, his new album Identity Picks will be popping on vinyl via NNA Tapes once again. Show More Summary

I’m not going to waste any time here explaining to you what footwork music is. If it were 2011, maybe even last summer, I would probably use this piece to make a case for whyShow More Summary

? Listen: Infinity Frequencies - Computer Death
Computer Death: the sound of emptiness, blank taste, with “meaning” gutted and then modulated — a retrofuturist collison of dated aesthetics meeting McLuhan’s global village, the electronic nervous system transmitting its last signals, electrochemical waves and neutrotransmitters fading not from life, but away from relevance.

? Listen: Michael Pisaro (feat. Julia Holter) - Tombstones
When one works with Michael Pisaro, it quickly becomes apparent that the man has an immense knowledge of various musical genres, despite his highly specialized compositional style. Although Pisaro is famous for his studies of silence...Show More Summary
Dust off your butter churns and sexy bonnets! Woods, White Fence, The Fresh and Onlys, MV & EE, The Babies are playing Woodsist Fest Pioneertown
From deep within the haziest depths of the Mojave Desert comes magical, mysterious Pioneertown, USA. (I know I refer to a lot of things as “magical” on this website, but this one really is, ya feel me?) And from deep within the murkiest depths of Brooklyn, NY comes the Woodsist label.

? Listen: Oxykitten - Fugue State
Synthesizer ingeniero and friend of evil robots Oxykitten has dropped a free album’s worth of odds-and-ends on the Field Hymns Bandcamp. Righteously described as “killer but odd cuts,” almost all 15 tracks on Fugue State clock in around two minutes, which basically makes it perfect by punk rock standards. Show More Summary
Talibam! “rap” up the internet to celebrate their “Tin Jubliee”
Are you a fan of Talibam!? I like the fact that when I type their name out at the end of a question, it appears as if I’m being overly exclamatory, but I don’t like the fact that having an exclamation point at the end of their name means...Show More Summary

? Listen: LINCKOLN - N E P T U N E
After pumping out loads of purist vaporwave as MJ Linckoln and releasing abstract acoustic improvisations as Malibu Locals Only, the enigmatic producer is referred to as simply LINCKOLN on new ambient release N E P T U N E. Each track is named after a different moon that circles the freezing gaseous planet. Show More Summary
Superchunk boldly announce new LP I Hate Music and tour dates, almost like how a younger band would!
Hey, music fans, do you like music? I mean, really like music? If you answered “yes” (and then yes again, I guess), then you’ll want to keep reading at least until the end of this sentence wherein I tell you the news about the new Superchunk...Show More Summary
Cerberus: Gran - No Love
By Gumshoe on May 14 2013
No Love is a wired, grinding take on post-post-darkwave punk doesn’t make a lot of sense on paper. Intense beats melded with melted synth goo? Cold Cave-y vocals and digital finger-snaps? If you were to propose...Show More Summary
My Bloody Valentine return to the US to rock Los Angeles’ FYF Fest
Sunny California. A state where dreams become stars and stars become Lindsay Lohan. Where the jasmine is always in bloom and where the surf’s always up. Where people actually work with trained chimps and basketball-playing dogs and IT’S THEIR JOB. Show More Summary
? Listen: Ohbliv - Ritual Swing
Ohbliv has just released his April contribution, keeping pretty close to the one-release-a-month trend so far this year. This one swings much more toward the public television soundtrack side of the Ohbliv catalog, filled with soft drums and and shallow synth melodies. Show More Summary

It’s interesting to think about early work with respect to the growth, maturity, and/or aging of an artist. It’s a well-known fact that as one ages, one’s palette changes as the physical requirements of playing an instrument shift. Show More Summary
