Matt - Meet Me In Miramas

First I thought this record got lost or stolen.  Then it came in the mail.  Next I went to Val's Halla in Oak Park and talked to the Furnaces' old mentor.  She told me that Matt's in England, Eleanor's in town and that I was an idiot for saying what I had said about Frank Zappa.  With that in mind, I obviously have not listened to this thing yet but I have total confidence that it's at last as good as January's Napoleonette.  Stamp of approval granted.

Neil Michael Hagerty - Plays That Good Old Rock and Roll

Neil Michael Hagerty is:

Neil Michael Hagerty.  Neil Michael Hagerty is depressing to listen to because, as an idol, I can never hope to equal him.  Try as I may, my fingers simply cannot move that fast.  This is one of his first offerings post Royal Trux and it is very Rock and Roll as the title so ambiguously hints at.  I've been looking for this album for a couple years now and finally found it today for $1.50.  Hell ya.  Enjoy!

El Jesus de Magico - Scalping the Guru

Limited hand screened LP from these Columbus boys.  They show true grit and a taste for the naked edge on Scalping the Guru, a melange of freaked out melody, incoherent thought, and strange noise collage.  I admit, this explanation may make it seem a bit too far out for some but I assure you, this will be one of the best downloads you grab all year.

Scalping the Guru is a remarkable homage to 70's stonerism.  70's stonerism, not so much a sound but a mindset that I just made up.  Ya' dig?
