Virginia should never be jealous of Pennsylvania
So even though I'm not technically moving until this weekend, there's still a lot of work to be done beforehand, work which will preclude my posting much of anything on here (probably until around August 3rd or 4th); I didn't want to leave you all high and dry though, so here's a very small mix, entitled "Stuck on I-95 in Hot and Sweaty Traffic". It'll be nice to be back in Philadelphia, although I will miss Richmond pretty badly. Anyway, enjoy.
LCD Soundsystem - Slowdive (XFM Session)
Siouxsie and the Banshees cover, customarily mindblowing. BUYDFA 1979 - Black History Month
Molten bass grooves and a sickly addictive melody. BUYTim Hecker - (They Call Me) Jimmy
Tim Hecker is a straight-up genius, and this is from what may be his best album, "Radio Amor". BUY Philly band Racecar make brutally pretty music. BUYRacoo-oo-oon - Call Out Your Friends
Fauves running loose and panting, get hold of drums, wreak havoc. BUY Pop song masterpiece, per usual. BUYAnimal Collective - Always You
16 minutes of Sung Tongs-esque beauty. Live on Resonance FM and never recorded (never will be recorded, according to the band). Also, I've pretty much decided that however the studio recordings turn out, I'm about 99% sure that "Feels" will end up being my album of the year, just judging by the live shows I've heard. It'll be better than "Sung Tongs", better than anything they've done before. That's my guess. BUYP.S. Black Dice's "Broken Ear Record" is un-fucking-believable. Strong, thick beats, it's a perfect progression from "Creature Comforts", and actually pretty poppy. They've really outdone themselves with this one.
