Notes:

• Disaster! is Quan Yeomans (Regurgitator) & Miss Ceasar. Check them out on Facebook, download this track for free over at Soundcloud, or check the video for F.A.I.L. on Youtube. Needless to say, the track is NSFW. Likewise, the video is NSFW, but only because of the lyrics, not the sick breakdancing.
• Unit by Regurgitator was named as the #10 hottest album of all time by the Aussie radio station Triple J. Pick up new music from them at their Bandcamp.
• Les Demoniaques is Tamaryn, and Dee Dee Penny (Dum Dum Girls). I’m featuring their cover of “Teenage Lust” by The Jesus And Mary Chain, which is featured above on picture disc. NSFW without the sleeve.
• Go ahead and grab Midnight City at M83‘s website for the price of an email address.
• Mister Heavenly is Honus Honus of Man Man, Nicholas Thorburn of Islands and The Unicorns, and Joe Plummer of Modest Mouse and The Shins. Out of Love will be released 16 Aug 2011 on Sub Pop Records. It’s streaming over at Paste magazine, until the album comes out.
• The new album by Handsome Furs is one of my favorite albums of 2011. It’s out now on Sub Pop Records.
• Charles Bradley is an amazing singer with an amazing story. You can read some of it over at Wikipedia. Much love to Gabriel Roth Daptone Records for giving the man a chance. We are all better for it.
