Its about that time... time for the mass influx of fresh new freshman faces and their stressed out parents. Make sure to look BOTH ways before crossing that one way street. Wild Wednesday they call it. We have a similar thing here on every tuesday- Terrific Tuesday, people running crazy in the aisles, queues down the block to pick up the hot new release. Come and join the madness! ................................................................... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 8/26/2008 (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) ................................................................... Alias - Resurgam (Anticon) ................................................................... In August 2007, after 8 years of innovating in Oakland, Alias went home to Portland, Maine, a city which, despite plenty of inclement weather, has burned almost to the ground 4 times whose Latin motto translates in no uncertain terms to I will rise again. Thus, that motto, Resurgam, is a doubly fitting title for Alias' first solo instrumental album in 5 years, one which finds the accomplished electro/acoustic musician and beat-smith returning to a proven foundation, while building all else anew. Cavaliers Unlimited - Soul Vein / The Nasty 7" (Mississippi) ................................................................... Subtitled: North Portland Music Series, Vol. #1. Limited one-time only edition of 500. Hard to find North Portland funk 7" recorded in 1968. This record was made right in MS Recs store's neighborhood. Formed in 1969 and together for only a short time, this record has two sides of the roughest breakbeat funk you never heard; only a few original copies are known to exist, most of those in poor condition. Not for the faint of heart, 'The Nasty' and 'Soul Vein' are two instrumentals that the define the phrase 'raw funk.' Previously reissued on DJ Shadow's Cali-Tex label. Davila 666 - s/t (In the Red) ................................................................... Hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Davila 666 is one of the biggest rock ÕnÕ roll attractions in the country. Over the past two years, they have amassed a large local following and their shows have a reputation as must-see spectaculars. A Davila 666 set functions almost like a theatrical event, as the band presents a thematic environment in which viewers are called to interact with props and exotic dancers. Delta Spirit - Ode to Sunshine (Rounder) ................................................................... Classic-era Rolling Stones. An amplified, rocking version of '60s protest folk. The raw spirit of indie rockers the Walkmen and Spoon. The soulful passion of the Violent Femmes and the Waterboys. All of these comparisons have been made in attempts to describe Delta Spirit, the southern California 5-piece. The group's DIY ethic shines throughout their debut album, with songs honed razor-sharp over a year of non-stop touring across America. Opening sold-out tours for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Cold War Kids, and Dr. Dog, the band developed a riveting live show and gained a loyal following amongst tastemaker music fans, earning them invites to national festivals like Austin City Limits, Noise Pop and Sasquatch. Diplo & Santogold - Top Ranking (Mad Decent) ................................................................... This collaboration mix CD brings together the best of Diplo's scatterbrained genius and Santogold's perfectionist ear. They spent almost as much time on this as others do on "proper" albums, recording tracks, recruiting guest spots and remixes, and sweating over what to include, but it was all worth it because this is a one in a million mixtape. The 35 tracks include a pair of Santo exclusives made just for this mix, plenty of Diplo remixes you won't hear anywhere else (Santogold over Panda Bear... or how about Santogold vs Benga's 'Night'... or Skream vs Shawty Lo?) plus remixes from Switch, Mumdance, XXXchange and Radioclit, guest verses from Amanda Blank and Kid Cudi, plenty of blends, and even some dubplates from dancehall stars. Between all this you get Diplo's cool selections and cuts from Santogold influences like Sir Mixalot, Devo, Aretha Franklin, B52s, Prince Jazzbo, Desmond Dekker, The Clash and more. Dragonforce - Ultra Beatdown (Roadrunner) ................................................................... On the way to selling over 300k albums and spawning a gold digital single, DragonForce went from being one of metal's fastest bands to a cultural phenomenon thanks to constant touring and a little game called Guitar Hero. The song Through The Fire And Flames was included in Guitar Hero III and helped spread the name and music of the band. This album takes off where Inhuman Rampage left off, with soaring, epic vocals and lightning fast guitar solos. The Dreadful Yawns - Take Shape (Exit Stencil) ................................................................... With their 2003 debut, The Yawns drew heavily upon, and gained glowing comparisons to luminaries such as Nick Drake and Neil Young. Following that critical success they became the last band to sign with Greg Shaw on Bomp! Records and released a beautifully executed psychedelic incarnation of the band and earned them numerous comparisons to both classic and modern psych-folk bands such as Beachwood Sparks and The Byrds. While comparisons to the Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, and Sonic Youth are not unwarranted for their new album, Take Shape showcases the environmental influences of living amongst a vibrant arts scene in the Midwestern rust belt town of Cleveland. Fantomas & The Melvins Big Band - Live from London 2006 DVD (Ipecac) ................................................................... Recorded on May 1, 2006 at Kentish Town Forum, Live from London 2006 features the amassed crew of Mike Patton, Buzz Osborne, Dave Lombardo, Trevor Dunn, Dale Crover and Sir David Scott Stone. The music is culled from the sole Fantomas Melvins Big Band release (Millennium Monsterwork) as well as music from both the Melvins and Fantomas catalogues. Bonus feature is an audio commentary with Danny DeVito (!!!), Ipecac co-owner Greg Werckman, booking agent Robby Fraser, Melvins' Dale Crover and Buzz Osborne. Gentleman Jesse and His Men - s/t (Douchemaster) ................................................................... Punchy, harmonic, and full of hooks that sink deep and don't require a warm-up. "The problem with Times New Viking and Jay Reatard and all these other bands that are pretty good but I don't actually listen to anymore is that they're not the Exploding Hearts. Gentleman Jesse and His Men aren't the Exploding Hearts either, but they're probably as close as the lo-fi gods will allow in our generation. Which is to say they're the most ridiculously great garage pop band to emerge in the last half-decade and their new album will probably break your heart and blow your mind -- or other body parts." - David Greenwald / Rawkblog. Highly Recommended - we will force this album on you! Jerk Alert - Dirty Slurs LP (Eradicator) ................................................................... Bloomington's Jerk Alert started in 2005 the same way as most bands - by some bored kids with nothing to do in the midwest. They play fast rockin' punk with boy/girl vocals in the grand tradition of basement DIY, sometimes pushing the gas into '82 hardcore territory. If the Ramones, Detroit Cobras and The Circle Jerks ever had kids, Jerk Alert would be that child. What a sexy child! Pop Levi - Never Never Love (Counter) ................................................................... Sophomore album from this singer/songwriter and former Ladytron member, probably the only contemporary musician in the world beloved of both Jarvis Cocker and Noel Gallagher. Recorded entirely in Hollywood at Quincy Jones' old studio, Westlake, where both Thriller & Off The Wall were laid down, Mr. Levi has returned with an album about the madness of love - 100% autobiographical, 100% clever, 100% dumb, 100% unique. From transitional rockers Pop spreads his wings, relying on a production flare, which makes the record feel fresh and slick as well as charmingly hi-lo-fi. While he hasn't abandoned the dynamics of the rock group he has also been steeping himself in contemporary R&B. Flamboyant, utterly self-confident, completely his own man. sBach - s/t (Suicide Squeeze) ................................................................... sBACH is Spencer Seim, (Hella, The Advantage). This record is a frenetic melange akin to the sights, sounds, and sugar rushes of an entire elementary school locked in a Chuck E. Cheese and having to subside on an all-you-can-eat buffet of Fun Dip and Pixie Stix. The animatronic, caffeinated band dishes out phosphorescent doom riffs while running amok with blips and bleeps. Kitschy, stoner rock with jazz rhythms and chicken scratch electronica. State - You Shouldn't Stare (self) ................................................................... Indianapolis/Bloomington's State explores the lurid side of sex and politics. While the lyrical content may focus on these subjects, the music provides a salacious and seductive groove to remind the listener that rock and roll was intended for the hips. The group describes their sound as a slab of testosterone. Recorded by Mike Bridavsky at Russian Recording, awesome artwork by Ben Bussell of the Sump Pumps. "Force. Specifically, a heavily desired punch in the face. Too brutal to be pop-punk. Too accessible to be hardcore. Too fast to be stoner rock. Too good to be missed" - Indy Mens Magazine Matthew Sweet - Sunshine Lies (Shout Factory) ................................................................... In 1991 Matthew Sweet released Girlfriend, an alternative rock milestone, and quickly followed it up with two back-to back classics, Altered Beast and 100% Fun, that cemented his reputation as an elder statesman of indie-rock. Now, nine years after his last major solo release and on the heels of side projects with The Thorns and The Bangles' Susanna Hoffs, comes his long-awaited new album, Sunshine Lies, which harkens back to the glories of his revered 90s albums. Features long-time sidemen Richard Lloyd (Television), Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & The Voidoids), Greg Leisz (Beck, Bill Frisell), Ric Menck (Velvet Crush), and a guest vocal by Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles). The Verve - Forth (MRI) ................................................................... Something happens when the Verve are together that none of them experience when they are apart. Singer Richard Ashcroft has been called the greatest singer in the world by no less a peer than Coldplay's Chris Martin. Liverpool-born Simon Jones s dub-informed bass takes the Verve s music far beyond rock and into space and dub; Peter Salisbury plays drums more like a jazz great than a conventional rock drummer and when the tag guitarist of his generation is thrown about it often lands at the feet of the hugely adventurous, psychedelic, exploratory Nick McCabe. However, when they are together a chemistry takes hold that transcends the four people onstage to blast the Verve somewhere else entirely and this chemistry and spontaneity has survived an absence of almost a decade. The Week That Was - s/t (Memphis Industries) ................................................................... Debut album from the British Electro Pop outfit. Musically the record is an expansive tribute, paying direct (and indirect) homage to the wildly ambitious Linn Drum and Fairlight experiments of Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, and Tin Drum-era Japan. Fused with typically detailed arrangements and a sense of drama, this makes The Week That Was a brain-shattering, 32-minute epic, straying far outside the conventions of most indie-guitar music. Woodhands - Heart Attack (Paper Bag) ................................................................... Woodhands is an electro-pop duo with a relentlessly energetic live-show and a total disdain for anything but balls-to-the-wall, dirty, sexy dance parties. The brainchild of Dan Werb (vocals, synths, drum machines) and Paul Banwatt (drums, vocals), Woodhands has gathered national press in Canada and was tagged as one of 5 bands to watch in 2008 by Exclaim! Magazine. VA - Notwave (Rong / DFA) ................................................................... Notwave is a new take on the early '80s underground of New York City's No Wave sound. The real purpose behind this project was to document an updated version of one of the most influential periods in New York's musical history alongside some early classics. Notwave features new, angular underground Pop bands Quad Throw Salchow, Striplight, and Circuits from the UK, sinister Techno and Funk from New York City's Welcome Stranger and Free Blood, Acid Rock from LA's Non- Stop, No Wave gems from the legendary James Chance & The Contortions and the UK's Research, disco not disco from Freshro, abstract minimal funk from Scotty Coats, and rhythm-heavy dance music from New Jersey's Mr. Chin. Includes eight unreleased tracks. VA - Nobody Knows Anything: Supersoul Recordings (DFA) ................................................................... Collection of tracks by Berlin-based Supersoul Recordings in their first two years of existence. The label was founded in 2006 by Xaver Naudascher and its stylistic identity revolves around the cornerstones of Electronic Dance music: Krautrock, Italo Disco, Electro, Chicago House, and Detroit Techno. Every artist on Supersoul has drawn inspiration from these music styles in different ways, and it is this combination that makes Supersoul one of the most distinct and distinguished labels to emerge in ages and one of the few seemingly fit and ready to carry the heritage of Dance music far into the future. 19 tracks including cuts from Xaver Naudascher, Mogg, Walter Jones, Strangelets, Skatebard and others.
