Since You Love Records and Supporting the Scene

The Flywheel is having it's annual record fair tomorrow. It's free and a perfect way to spend a rainy day crate digging for gems.

WMUA GETS PROACTIVE

After what appears to be an ice age length hibernation, WMUA's hosting its first show of the semester. This is a going to be a electronic-toy-thingamajig music annihilation, so please show some love and come on over. It being free and all should be a big plus. Also the Dan Friel LP is still fucking amazing.

You Have Choices

If you haven't signed up for the Autonomous Battleship Collective mailing list, I'd suggest you do it because you're going to get these explosions of concert emails.

Lock Groove Lullaby.

I truly love Stereolab, to the point where I don't really care that they essentially have been making the same album over & over for about fifteen years. Their new one, Chemical Chords, is probably the most fun-sounding record they've done since Emperor Tomato Ketchup - all short, bright pop nuggets that will almost make you forget about that whole lackluster Cobra & Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night/Sound Dust-era.

A video for the new record's "Three Women":

Swinging for the Fences

The New Monuments are brand-spanking-new noise supergroup featuring C Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core), Don Dietrich (Borbetomagus) and Ben Hall (Graveyards). Win written all over it.
