off to see Miami Vice since we are avid Michael Mann fans, we will speak of our thoughts in the Music and Culture tomorrow. Today’s closing thought: The Beta Band was the shit. Seriously.

this is so very nice for a Summer Sunday evening, playing Relative on July 9th. I have listened to these songs many times over as they roll me around in the hay all day by the bay, hmmm I just may. So beautiful that move and so beautiful this music.

Yesterday I was gloriously reunited with a childhood favorite. I love the acapella breakdown at the end. Right now j dub and I have a thing on the bachburner (like the backburner except j.s. bach keeps the fire burning) called “Workin’ on an Afro” and it is all banjo/moog experiments. This […]
Moustache May is off to a great start. The site is complete with it’s very own Trapper Keeper theme. I think it is called Miami Vice Wizardry. The Imperial Herr Neas has set up a Moustache Giving Tree with a charity in Richmond for children with cancer. The site he set […]
I am getting ready to set up Nicecast on the store stereo so you can stream what we are listening to making Last FM more essential to the new era record store. I had this set up with a computer in 2004 - some of you may remember it as we had a few […]
Loose Fur is Glenn Kotche, Jim O’Rouke, and Jeff Tweedy. They have a new record coming out on Drag City, March 21. The record makes you feel pretty good about yourself at 6am, when your holding a circular saw and have paint on your jeans.

Warp, just dropped the new Nightmares On Wax, In A Space Outta Sound and it’s surprisingly fantastic. I have never been to keen on most of the NOW has put out, but this record is all across the board stylistically, ranging from Dub, Hip Hop, Soul and World. A straight up constant head bopper. You’re […]
One of the many great things about working in a record store is the promos. Relative Theory gets advances just about everyday and it kind of feels like Christmas morning.
“Ohh, who’s this from? Matador? I hope it’s the new Mogwai, I’ve been wanting!”
or
“What sort of surprise has Temporary Residence sent us?”
Well, this […]
When a friends of ours asked if we have heard the new Liars yet, we replied no and asked if it was any good. He answered, it’s fucking incredible. And once, we got our ears on it, we were blown away. Drums Not Dead is an amazing percussion driven album, unlike anything I’ve ever heard […]

I saw the Secret Machines perform when they were on tour with Kings of Leon back in August. I was blown away by their performance. It was the perfect combination of Pink Floyd and Swervedriver and it left me with my jaw on the floor. I’ve been playing this CD since a friend gave it […]

I don’t have long to talk about, but you guys have got to be made hip to this. Joe and Don of Icarus Line’s more beat driven, darker, jangly, distorted, schizo-dance project, called Souls She Said. Their name is awful, but I’m hooked. Look for it out on Dim Mak, 21 Feb. Until then, I’m […]
