Worriers - Cruel Optimist

from Cruel Optimist 12" Don Giovanni Records

Title track from the upcoming full length by Worriers. If Don Giovanni Records track record this year is any indication, this record is going to be killer. Worriers have a great 7 inch on No Idea available for streaming at http://worriers.bandcamp.com/album/past-lives-7

If you are in Chicago on Thursday, you should come to this. It is very important. Important bands. Important friends. Important family.

LOS CRUDOS at Centro Cultural da Juventude Ruth Cardoso in Sao Paulo, Brazil, March 8th 2013. This is a multi-camera, pro-edited video of when we played at a youth center in Sao Paulo on our tour of South America this year. Pretty crazy.

BOILERMAN!

Superchunk has decided to reward years of devotion by releasing a new record on my birthday!

Aye Nako - Molasses

From "Unleash Yourself" - 2013 http://ayenako.org/

Aye Nako's Unleash Yourself is one infectious pop punk gem. The empowering lyrics and catchy hooks make for a perfect summer record. I recently got to see Aye Nako open for The Thermals at a Lollapoop after party, where they stole the show, and can't wait for their return at the 4th annual Black and Brown Punk Show here in Chicago.

Too much cool stuff to frame and hang.

Best show

James Blake 'Retrograde' (by jamesblakeproduction)

Overgrown by James Blake

  I'm really digging this record right now. Great, mellow, trip-hoppy jams. I don't if it was Blake's intention to make a dub/trip-hop album for 2013 but that's pretty much what you have here. Plus guest appearances by Rza and Eno and a sample of Big Boi's Royal Flush. The only thing this is missing is production by Tricky and the occasional wikki wikki of a DJ.

[radjams]

Billy Bragg tomorrow at City Winery!

WHITE LUNG - Sorry

I really dig this record. Great Vancouver lady fronted punk. Hooky guitars and screamy vocals. This is what you've been looking for. The vinyl comes with a free download!
