This blog is done! The domain should be expiring soon and it will not be updated again in the foreseeable future. It's been totally chill, bro.

D'EON -- Now You Do (LP, 2012)

Stream d'Eon's weird new album, LP, at Stereogum. The record, according to d'Eon himself, is about the archangel Gabriel living on the internet in 2012. So that's that.

The record is out now via Hippos in Tanks.

GUANTANAMO BAYWATCH -- Baby Please (Chest Crawl, 2012)

Portland's Guantanamo Baywatch is set to release their newest LP Chest Crawl on May 22 via Dirtnap Records.

Fans of Shannon & The Clams or Hunx & His Punx will definitely like this group's similar blend of reverby surf and crunchy punk, held together by the same kind of campiness that makes Hunx and Shannon so much fun to listen to. Evidence: their band name and their album artwork.

DIIV -- Doused (Oshin, 2012)

Dive is now DIIV. 'Doused' is their new single, off of their upcoming LP Oshin out June 26 via Captured Tracks. You may remember this song from their Newtown Radio session, when it was still untitled.

My assignment for my Public Policy class this week is to “come up with a song/artist that had an impact on public policy in the U.S. at any point in U.S. history. The impact doesn’t have to be enormous, but you must be able to make a reasoned, sound argument for your selection.”

Who comes to your mind?

DIVE -- Sometime (7", 2011)

Excited to see DIVE tonight at the Black Cat -- been getting really into the two singles they've released so far. Dive is the side project of Beach Fossils' guitarist Cole Smith, which has released two singles so far ('Sometime'/'Corvalis' and 'Human'/'Big Joke').

They're playing at the Black Cat tonight along with POND (which shares two of Tame Impala's members) and OBERHOFER. Tickets at the door are $12, but you can still get them online in advance for $10. Doors open at 8 PM. Should be a great show, so if you're in the area you should come out.
