WatchFrankie Rose - Moon in my Mind (live at The Knitting Factory)
blearyeyedbrooklyn:
True Confession: I pretty much love everything Frankie Rose does. It was a bold move for her to shed her successful girl-group-in-an-echo-chamber sound in favor of this newest electronic incarnation. But, as has been boldly proclaimed by Pitchfork, she has succeed in spades. I’ll let them do all the gabbing about...

Cases in Which I Will Buy New Vinyl
I hear a song that rips my heart/mind out and lays it bare to the sun.
I’m in a spendy mood, and listening to a decent new album with a big ‘BUY NOW’ link.
I’ve heard a band’s great single on a blog, and am halfway through listening to the second, even better, single.
My dear friend recorded/produced/sang backup/played harp/etc on a good record.
I feel tempted to...

WatchA Classic Education - Forever Boy
These Italians are nothing if not helpless romantics, and prolific at that. Here, video director Opificio Ciclope paints a classic black & white idolizing the motocicletta. You’re going to want to share this with anyone you know who’s got a love affair with stunning two-wheelers or 50’s noir films. Total swoonage.
Get the excellent Call It...

New Emailz
For whatever deeply mystical reason, my email @ yvynyl.com has totally shit the bed. While I was kind of relieved to go from 100+ emails a day to zero - liberating myself from dozens and dozens of crap PR lists - I do miss your lovely, personal notes with fresh and interesting music and stories from around the globe. Please find my new email address here: http://yvynyl.tumblr.com/pr

WatchAppetite - Herbivore
Is it weird that see a recurring theme lately of women torturing happless men in music videos? Maybe it’s just the weird world in which I travel. Here, Teddy Briggs gets the shit kicked out of him by some badass, sweatpants-wearing dancing hotties - why? not clear. Perhaps they’re vegetarians mad at him for eating meat, per the theme of this song.
This song is...

WatchRoman Ruins - Wildflower
You know when you get ahold of an amazing new project, and it keeps popping up in your world? That’s the case with Oaklander Graham Hill who “began constructing these songs while on tour in Europe in early 2010, daydreaming in the van about his pregnant wife at home.” You can feel that tension here - the forlorn desire of ‘missing’, that...
