The monsters which Montreal has unleashed upon the world, King Khan and partner in crime Mark Sultan (BBQ)’s touring Europe right now.

Can’t stop mouth-guitaring the beginning of this unforgettable Buzzcocks classic today.

I know I’m completely slacking on the 2010’s, but can’t stop listening to Thee Oh Sees. Head of State jolts me into a confusing cinematic sequence.

Been rockin’ out to these two crunchy carefree songs for some time, thought I should share. Best Coast and San Fran’s The Mantles who recently released on Slumberland. Lo-fi fuzzed out garage rock/power pop.

Spotted guest mixes from Cassy Ramone of Vivian Girls and Kreng, 60s Japanese mix from Papypotage, Social Disco Club and Mixcloud Best Cloudcasts of 2009.

Decided to revive some of the dead links as a weekend treat. Here’s a collection of mp3s with pointers to original posts. Masha Qrella, Loud-E, Caspa, Scanner, Arcade Lover, Trus’me etc.

The Line of Best Fit has a live review of LA lo-fi punk duo No Age. That is a good reason to share one from their latest release Losing Feeling. One of the few bands who manages to justify most if not all of their hype. Simple and effective.

Californian punk rockers Mika Miko will play a farewell concert in Los Angeles next month (Nov09) after announcing the band is to split. The rockers will disband after six years together to allow the members to pursue other goals.
