Drowning.

God, how I hated reading about Wavves: Wavves this, Wavves that, Wavves has some kind of mental breakdown, Wavves gets 31 women pregnant, Wavves jacks Jay Reatard's band, etc. I hate the web's infatuation with the young and tender Nathan Williams, but nevertheless; I fell into the trap. I mean how could you not! The newly released King Of The Beach was the only thing I could listen to this summer! I actually had withdrawals from the record when I wouldn't listen to it. It was pretty much the only thing that put me in a good mood. You should listen to the jam Linus Spacehead. It's all about flying, being god, or taking madd acid.

Wild Nothing.

total summer jams.

So one night I was driving home listening to Finn's Royal Revolution and I heard this really fantastic jam that had guitar melodies that reminded me of Beach Fossils. I had to know what he was playing because it was so good! Virginia's Jack Tatum is the mastermind behind the brilliance of "Gemini," the new record recently released on Captured Tracks. It's full of warm melty nostalgic jams with insanely catchy guitars melodies and whiney choruses. Yupp, Tatum sometimes sounds like he whines and every song sounds like some song you've heard before, but it's all so great. It will indefinitely be the soundtrack to your wild summer days. "Summer Holiday" is my favorite track off the record. I'm pretty sure it's the track Finn played that night and it's also the track that tour up the secret show at Death By Audio. SO CATCHY.

Here is a strange video from Brooklyn's Here We Go Magic. Weird video.

Summer Jam.

Brooklyn's The Hundred In The Hands offer the world fun bass heavy synth jamz that you'll be blasting on those late night summer drives. The song Tom Tom lures you in with a sweet beat and Eleanore Everdell's haunting vocals and then a really catchy high pitched melody and then the bass joins them all creating this amazing dark disco jam. Definitely a perfect late night summer jam. So serious.
