| That Ghost - Young Fridays - 2011 |
I can hear similarities to lots of bands without being too much like any of them: Ty Segall, Oh No Oh My, The Black Keys, early Bright Eyes, and even the Wavves bro.

TONSMORECOWBELL GOES TO THE MOVIES
I went to the historical Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff Saturday and saw an absolutely brilliant Spanish film called 'The Last Circus'. It was a genre-melding love story about clowns that makes Quentin Tarantino look like a gay. Possibly the best movie I've ever seen. 10/10

SUPPORT MY FAVORITE BLOG
DAYVAN ZOMBEAR has funded the cassette tape/digital release of a band called Wavepool Abortion. Comprised of 2 17 year old's (Matvei and Pyotr) from Moscow. Don't worry, they're singing in English. This shit is hella sick!!!
"Wavepool Abortion (ЖЕРТВА АБОРТА) is a new and exciting proto-pop-punk band featuring Pyotr Reznikov (guitar/vocals) and Matvei Solovyov (guitar/vocals/drums), based in Moscow, Russia. While listeners will surely enjoy Wavepool Abortion's ear for classic pop melody, you may have to dig through some filth to get there. The reward is a half-hour blissful regression to punk's dirty roots--a joyride of almost-on vocal harmonies, guitar solos that swell in and out of feedback, sludgy drum machines, and enough tambourine to fill a cesspool.

| Wavepool Abortion - S/T - 2011 |
"When I heard The Ramones and things, I was like, wow," says Solovyov, 17. "I take my guitar and Pyotr and we made this song so fast." Reznikov, also 17, attributes his interest in punk to popular Russian band Ногу свело! "We sing in English because we like the Beatles," Reznikov says. "Wavepool Abortion is the heaviest thing! It's like maybe The Ramones and The Beatles taking a big shit."
Wavepool Abortion has been making waves in their native city since their live debut last winter. As the leaders of a growing scene of like-minded teenagers, calling themselves "Искусство боли" (The Art of Pain), Wavepool Abortion are the most exciting thing from Russia since the space race. Matvei and Pyotr will finish high school first, but expect their U.S. live debut to follow. In the meantime, this first album of visceral dirt-pop will kick your ass to the gulags" -DZ Tapes

| The Weeknd - Thursday - 2011 |
"As always, listening to The Weeknd still feels like waking up hungover in a opulent hotel room, a dented mound of coke sitting on the coffee table and cigarette butts floating in the champagne flutes. The operational emotion infused in these set pieces is difficult to describe, but it’s something akin to the inability to feel guilty about something recklessly pleasurably." -No Genre

I'LL SEE YOU ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF HELL
 |
| Blank Fritz - Goodbye Vibrations - 2011 |
Released earlier this week, Bill Baird's new moniker Blank Fritz gives us 'Goodbye Vibrations'. A sobering and beautiful album featuring 8 new songs about the emotions associated with 'hello' and 'goodbye' (mostly love).
I bought my limited (50) edition vinyl/polaroid last month and would highly recommend you do the same if there are any left. Everything he touches turns to gold.
folk, mellow, lo-fi, acoustic
