Notes:

  • The video for Rad Anthem by Rad Omen is actually pretty rad, in the sense that it features fast food mascots getting into all sorts of trouble.  It is decidedly NOT SAFE FOR WORK.  You have been warned.
  • I am still waiting to get my hands on a copy of Toeachizown by Dam Funk. His label, Stones Throw, released Speak The Truth as a single to thank customers for their patience during a manufacturing delay.
  • Parenthetical Girls will be releasing their next album as a limited series of 12″ EPs. The first, Privilege Part I, comes out on 2/23/2010. As the band says on its website, “These EPs will be sold separately in sequence every quarter over the next 15 months, each as they are completed. They will not be distributed to stores.” Also, they will be “hand-numbered in the blood of their respective band members.” Ouch.
  • Odd Blood, the new album by Yeasayer will be out 2/9/2010. If you were lucky enough to have heard it at a local listening party, you are probably as stoked about it coming out as I am.
  • MC Chris rejects the nerdcore label, even though it’s hard to deny. You may have heard him on [adult swim], or around town. His new album, MC Chris Is Dead, is a lot of fun.
