WatchLiterally 20 second teaser trailer of the single Wander coming out from Balam Acab over at Tri-Angle. See Birds LP debuted from Tri-Angle last year, and I think it was a stand out example of witchhouse that doesn’t suck.

WatchLia Ices - Grown Unknown
Lia Ices makes beautiful experimental pop music that is both avant-garde and timeless. Check out her dancing while shooting the whole video on from her laptop. Very impressive. Very indeed.

WatchBlouse - Nights & Days
New 7” on the way via Subpop. I wrote up on their recent debut 7” from Captured Tracks and how extraordinarily it was…here we are barely a month later and they’re releasing on Subpop. Damn that was fast, granted its just a 7”, but good move on their part.

WatchGoogle, Facebook, & more filtering what you see?!? WtF mate?!
Did you know that if you and your best bud both search the exact same thing on Google right now, you will each get drastically different search results? It gets worse from there. If you only spend 8min on the interest today, spend them watching this TED talk. It gave me shivers just thinking about the implications if things...

WatchDirty Sound System - I Remember The First Time I Heard Your Voice [Side A]
Think of a classical movie soundtrack from the 50s mixed as one track, inter-spliced with sinister and seductive voice sampling. Indescribable, just listen to it. And track down the vinyl if you can Ltd to 1000 hand-number copies. One of my favorite vinyls out of hundreds that I own.

WatchMarissa Nadler is one talented chick, and I was super psyched to hear from her today that the new kickstarter funded LP is nearly on its way. Supposedly advance downloads are coming tomorrow, with vinyl in the next month. Her sweet, and slightly sad/dark sounds lure me in every time.
This track sorta reminds me of an excellent cover of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game by Pipilotti Rist, via...

WatchTrash Kit - Paper
So I’m on the Pure Groove shop just perusing around cause they nearly always have excellent vinyl that I’ll shell out absurb shipping rates in euros if i can’t find somewhere else cheaper. But no jokin they have an excellent distro selection, they most often embed sound cloud tracks on the release pages so you can listen on the spot, and often discover new...

WatchCreep - Days
Can’t remember which distro I saw this on of recent, but new Days 12” by Creep from Young Turks has some vocals from The xX. Basically it sounds like some new downbeat dark xx. Because of The Xx involvement, I imagine these will go quick once people figure out the connection? Who know. Released on Ltd 12” picture disc, definitely a rad acquisition if...

WatchStrange Talk - We Can Pretend
Found this new highly danceable 12” from Neon Gold Record (see Ltd 7”s from Passion Pit, Marina & the Diamonds, and The Naked and Famous). I thought I recognized the band name, and of course it was lucky track seven on most recent Kitsuné comp. Speaking of which Kitsuné has comp 11 coming out soonish. It doesn’t appear it will be released...

Tell Congress to Kill COICA 2.0, the Internet Censorship Bill
We knew that members of Congress and their business allies were gearing up to pass a revised Internet Blacklist Bill — which more than 325,000 Demand Progress members helped block last winter — but we never expected it to be this atrocious. Last year’s bill has been renamed the “PROTECT IP” Act...

The most enduring formats? Not CDs or MP3 digital files. “Vinyl discs properly stored will last hundreds of years,” Miller said. “Shellac too.” Producer T Bone Burnett, a vocal champion of analog vinyl over digital audio, visited the library not long ago to discuss the issue. “He testified in front of us and said, ‘I would encourage the Library of ...

Shoreline Is - I’d Hear The Clouds Move
Check out these fantastic new tunes from Shoreline Is that they were kind enough to drop my way. Hailing from Dortmund, Deep West Germany, they would say they have a sound similar to Cults or Twin Sister, and I whole heartily agree. Glowy, vintaged dreampop that is nostalgic for a time it never experienced firsthand. ...
