Tonstartssbandht Sorcerer
Styles: endless rock, brotherhood, candlelight riffs
Others: The Doors, Lightning Bolt, Rangers, Creedence Clearwater Revival

Mega Bog “It’s just like a scrapbook. Of people and situations and how we got to the next point.”
“It’s just like a scrapbook. Of people and situations and how we got to the next point.”

Deerhoof’s John Dieterich and noise artist Raven Chacon combine to form Endlings, announce new album, premiere video for “Osmotic Torrents”
Let’s be honest, readers: at some isolated, desperate, or just unusually-contemplative point in our lives, we’ve all found ourselves listening to our favorite old Deerhoof records and thinking: gee, I wonder what all this odd, warped, homespun noise would sound like without all this badass, brainy and brawny rock and roll constantly tap-dancing across the top of it…haven’t we? (I said: HAVEN’T WE?)

Future Islands The Far Field
Styles: pop, disco, art pop, gimmick, kitsch, critic-proof
Others: Róisín Murphy, Savages, Lambchop, Spandau Ballet, Morissey, The Killers, Cindi Lauper, Fear of Men
“Instead of sharpening punk and post-punk’s cutting edge, these bands blunted it; rather than provoke, oppose, and negate mainstream pop tastes, they seem to have reworked their sounds to accommodate these norms. And they accommodated them quite well — these were all charting, and often chart-topping, singles. If anything, their sound had become excessively normal.”
– Robin James, “Neoliberal Noise: Attali, Foucault, & the Biopolitics of Uncool”
