White Lung White Lung

Not sure why I slept on White Lung for so long, but I've been listening to their Magazines 7" non-stop for the last 2 months. So good. Think 90s riot grrrl energy mixed with UK post-punk from 30 years ago. I dunno - tough to describe but seriously fucking good.

DOWNLOAD DOWNLOAD DOWNLOAD - Magazines 7" by White Lung

BUY their It's The Evil LP, Magazines 7" and Atlanta 7" from Deranged.



Thanks to Puzzle Pieces blog for the upload.

Friday Downloads

Some late-summer jams for you -

Busy Signals - "Busy Signals"

- Catchy as all hell powerpop from Chicago. I always forget how great this album is. For fans of Fast Cars, Ramones, 20/20, Nikki and The Corvettes, etc. Thanks to Teenage Lobotomy blog for the link.

- Download

- Buy at Dirtnap Records

Diarrhea Planet - "Aloha!" EP

- Party punk from Nashville dudes. Hoping to set them up with something in DC soon.

- Download

- Internet the band

Letters To Cleo - "Wholesale Meat and Fish"

- A top album of mine for sure. This was the album they released immediately following their MTV album, Aurora Gory Alice, which was also great. This one, however, is much different. Totally grunged-out pop punk. Demon Rock, Fast Way, Awake, Acid Jed, Pizza Cutter, etc, etc...so many great tracks. I still remember the day I bought this. August of 1995, I was 11 years old and on a beach vacation with my family and checking out the record store that doubled as a surf shop. Even as an 11 year old, I was still super anal about looking through each and every album the store had to offer...stumbled upon the just-put-on-the-shelf LTC album and was psyched. Have listened to it on a regular basis since then.

Beyond Pink - "Jedan Dva Jebla Te Ja"

- All-girl, crusty hardcore from Sweden. Love this album.

Pocahaunted - June 14, 2010 - DC9

Those of you who know me know I'm a huge fan of Pocahaunted and have been since their inception in 2006 or whatever. Anyway, so, after years of waiting, they finally hit DC and totally made the wait worth it. Bummed I didn't get to see the Amanda/Bethany duo, but the hippie-psych-funk-dub incarnation is just as awesome as the native america drone duo.

Definitely the best show DC has hosted this year...and at DC9 of all places. The turnout was surprisingly decent as well.

For those who missed it...I'm sorry.
