ITS BEEN AWHILE.
It's time to get back into the swing of things. Beginning next Tuesday, we'll start getting new releases and start to chart again which means that all of you must play new music so our charts will represent WUSB and not the CMJ mainstream. RAWR. Remember, new releases are only things that have been released in the last 3 months and it can be anything! Let's conquer CMJ.
So here is the first thing I've burnt to CD in this wonderful new year:
Various Artists - Underwater Peoples Winter Review - Underwater Peoples Records
- Julian Lynch - Es's
- Pill Wonder - Restless
- Ducktails - Apple Walk
- Fluffy Lumbers - Adoration
- Big Troubles - Former Selves
- Andrew Cedermark - Ad Infinitum
- Frat Dad - Totally Afraid
- Dana Jewell - My T-Train Girl
- Airwaves - Sweetness
- Family Portrait - Killer Statements
- Alex Bleeker - These Days
- Mountain Man - Dog Song
- Real Estate - Orchard
- Rainbow Bridge - Rain Nair
- Liam The Younger - Please See
So some things: We have the Ducktails & Julian Lynch 12" in CR1 and you should really check them out. Ducktails is a guitarist from Real Estate who makes dreamy summery sounds and he also plays with Julian Lynch who makes weird soft experimental jamz that are quite wonderful. Fluffy Lumbers is founded by boy genius Samuel Something-or-other and he makes wonderful fuzzy garage pop jamz and he also plays drums for Frat Dad which also has a fuzzy lo-fi sound but it a lot grittier than Fluffy Lumbers. Andrew Cedermark used to play guitar in Titus Andronicus and his music is probably much better than what Titus Andronicus produces. He sounds noisy, wonderful, super loud at times, but the music he makes is excellent and he is probably one of the more talented of the artists you'll find on this compilation. Alex Bleeker is the bassist in Real Estate who has his own thing going as "Bleeker And The Freaks." And Real Estate, well you all know Real Estate since you played the shit out of their self titled debut LP released this fall. Airwaves some of you may know as well since a lot of you played their EP during the summer. They make lots of catchy acoustic jamz and they pretty much owned summer 09'. And Liam the Younger is a dude who sometimes plays guitar for Titus Andronicus. He also tends to make sweet acoustic jamz, but he's finally recorded a song with a full band, which I think is awesome and I definitely enjoy it more than the usual stuff he does.
