The Monday Set: Earwig – Bruxelles – 7-20-91
I had a request for this show a couple of months ago and I'm getting around to posting it. 2/3s of the band Earwig eventually became Insides who had a couple of fantastic releases on 4AD in the mid-90s (More...)
Universal Order of Armageddon: Visible Distance (Live Video)
TSOI generally isn't very needy, but we're looking for some help here. We're trying to track down the original taper of this UOA show. If you know anyone from the Nebraska scene who might have an idea of who shot this, drop us an e-mail or mention it in the comments. (More...)
The Monday Set: KARP – Providence – 11/13/94
The "KARP Lives" documentary should be coming out sometime this year (I'm hoping), but in the meantime, here's a little live KARP to hold you over. They played in my basement in Minneapolis on this same tour and blew everyone away, obviously (More...)
The Monday Set: Unwound – Hartford – 4/7/95
The overall feeling I get from this Unwound recording is that it was a "paying your dues" type of show, opening for Fugazi. This short set was played to what sounds like a very unappreciative crowd who were more interested in Ian and co. bringing the rock than a more-mellow-than-average Unwound set. (More...)
Kevin: Best of 2010
A quick rundown of my favorite records and shows of 2010. Once again my top records don't seem to overlap with most of the other lists I've read. In fact, I only bought 1 record on Pitchfork's Top 50 and 2 on Stereogum's list this year. Once again proof I would never make a good A&R man. (More...)
Bauhaus: Kick In The Eye (Live Video)
This 1981 Bauhaus clip may have been their television debut. It's truly unfortunate that the performance is mimed, but the band still does a good job of still looking interested. (More...)
The Rest: John Huston
Canada's best kept secret The Rest have a brand new record coming out in 2011 and have released this teaser track to the interwebs in advance. They seem to be ditching the Shins-esque sound for a more modern synth-laden approach which I'm really digging (More...)
The Monday Set: Slant 6 – Athens – 8/3/93
I got this and another amazing live Slant 6 recording from Henry Owings and his never ending box(es) of amazing recordings. I had what must have been a multi-generation cassette version of this soundboard recording that I had traded for in the '90s, but this one comes directly from the master (More...)
Kisses: Bermuda (Live)
Los Angeles' Kisses released their debut LP "The Heart of the Nightlife" in the US yesterday. I'm hoping to pick it up in the vinyl format at one of their upcoming shows, but you can grab the entire thing from Amazon right now for the "Nice Price" of $5.99. (More...)
The Monday Set: Love And Rockets – Irvine – 12/6/87
I finally got a new cassette player that plays at the correct speed, so I'm back in the business of transferring my old cassettes to CD. Here's an extremely short Love And Rockets show from the "Earth, Sun, Moon" tour in 1987. (More...)
