Microcastle / Weird Era Cont, Deerhunter
Ah the internet. What a cruel bitch.
Atlanta Georgia's Deerhunter rose to notoriety thanks in part to bloggers worldwide raving about last year's CRYPTOGRAMS and their incendiary live show. They became cult favorites, and outspoken lead singer/songwriter Bradford Cox became an unlikely - though well deserved - indie rock cover boy.
Titty City T-Shirt
You like tits? Me too. Nice, big, juicy-ass tits. Don't come at me with no half-a-handful titties, that's a deal breaker, no sale. I wanna woman who can give me RSI in all the right places, if you know what I mean... Do you know what I mean? Yeah, me neither. I'll tell you this much though - the dudes that make the bestest breast-related zine in the world, TITTY CITY, have also made a bunch of awesome t-shirts that you should buy because, guess what? They feature those big, fat, jaw-breaker tits we all know and love.
Pacific Ocean Blue, Dennis Wilson
Sometimes, just being a cool guy is enough. For much of Dennis Wilson's career as the Beach Boys' charismatic drummer, this was certainly true. The only member who actually surfed, his shaggy beard and beach rat lifestyle informed much of the group's look and feel. Musically though, Dennis was overshadowed by his brothers and cousins, contributing just a few songs to the Beach Boys canon.
Devotion, Beach House
Baltimore girlfriend/boyfriend duo Beach House have achieved an increasingly difficult feat; they've created a sound that is both instantly recognisable yet entirely new. Like a new buddy at a party you feel like you've known for years.
Their second album, DEVOTION, combines the atmosphere of David Lynch's creepy small town Americana with the fifties girl groups on Quaaludes.
Heavy Metal Parking Lot
In 1986, before headbangers were (ironically) hip, when camera crews were still a novelty worth cavorting drunkenly before, a dude from D.C. borrowed some gear from the local TV station where he worked and went down to the sports arena before the big Judas Priest show. The rest is heavy metal history.
Viva Voce, Viva Voce Loves You
Wouldn't it be great if you could compile just the BEST bits of your life? Leave all the embarrassing pratfalls, mysterious stains, and tacky break-up convos on the cutting room floor?
On VIVA VOCE LOVES YOU, Portland husband-and-wife duo Viva Voce do just that. A compilation of the best tracks from their three full-length albums, this is all killer, no filler.
Smoke, White Williams
The thing is, I love Mexican food. And even though half the taquerias around the world taste pretty much the same, do I care? No. Gimme a margarita and some cheese enchiladas and I'm stoked.
So should it really matter that this debut from Cleveland-born, Brooklyn-based Joe Williams aka White Williams kinda sounds exactly like outtakes from Brian Eno's HERE COME THE WARM JETS? It's one of my favorite albums - great pop songs with crazy space glam production, combining camp, horror, sex, artifice, and art in equal measures.
