The Bug – Humbug 7″
Sounds like a bunch of grown ups who maybe enjoyed The Locust in high school, then played in The Pampers, got office jobs, then car payments, then moved to the suburbs, then felt lame for not “rocking out” anymore so they smoked an 8 ball while drinking a rack of Hamm’s and recording an ep straight to Garageband.

Grey Ice Water – Sun Kil Moon
Philip Jeck – Arcade lp
A sucker for anything that sounds like the crackly noise of a record over anything else, I’m prone to enjoy it even more when other natural ambient sounds like rain are part of the composition.

Can’t Hardly Wait – The Replacements
Grey Ice Water – Sun Kil Moon
LSD Air – Works lp
LSD must not be a reference to the drug, because no amount of acid is ever this boring.

The Farmer’s Hotel – Silver Jews
Blóm – Flower Violence lp
If you distinguish between yelling and screaming, where the latter is a focused and pointed effort with a concerted intent to harm and/or raise alarm, this record is definitely yelling.

Reb Fountain lp
There Is A Place – Silver Jews
Can’t Help Falling In Love – Elvis Presley
Utilities – The Weakerthans
Lavender Flu – Admiration for a Dancer lp
Skronking art rock improvisation ep from a skronking garage noise guitarist who started a skronking pop band is always going to ok for skronking in my book.

Po Po – Dope Boy Magick lp
Remember how the tuning dial on a tuner would be weighty, to allow fine-grained hand-tuning of stations, and how it was amusing in 1995 to just spin it through the whole spectrum and hear flecks of everything, unconnected to anything else, just a bunch of pop noise? Not me.

Thomas Brinkmann – Rauperbahn lp
Is it that I’m from a factory town that miced sewing machines is interesting, or that close listening of anything well recorded is rewarding?

Botany – Fourteen 45 Tails lp
This is to being happy a scratched 45 keeps getting stuck what The Field is to skipping cds.
