Swirling clouds of synths just like your dad used to love to trip out on. This recent album from Jonas Reinhardt on the Kranky label follows the lineage of the classic synthesizer composers of the 70s and 80s – I’m thinking Tangerine Dream, Klaus Shulze, that sort of thing. Classic future music. Pick up a [...]

This is the one I warned you guys about, the one where you have to leave the basement and venture out into the world: Record Store Day, in the year of Our Lord 2010. Major and boutique labels are certainly sparing no expense (or markup) when it comes to pressings from sales-friendly groups like Sonic [...]

As if buying vinyl (one of the least convenient things on Earth to store/move) wasn’t bad enough, we are now buying cassette tapes again. So we were wondering, are you at all interested in hearing about the occasional must-have psych/drone/ambient tape release? Keep in mind [...]

20Buckspin has got some of these lovely Kylesa slipmats by John Baizley left over from the boxset they recently released for Static Tensions. You know this is going to look awesome sitting on your shitty turntable, so pick one up for $6. You can’t get media mail shipping if you order just the slipmat but [...]
Thou [Audio clip: view full post to listen] I’m afraid if I tried to write about it, I would have trouble expressing how great I think this band is. I love them as much as any one man can love a band he found on the internet – platonically. There really is no more satisfying [...]
Hard to believe another year has come to an end. We are a two-man team here, and we have both submitted our “best of 2009″ lists today. I tried to put together a nice, concise list of my top ten albums from the past year, but I just couldn’t narrow it down that far, so [...]
Once again, here’s a post that has been ported over from our sister site, OMGPosters.com. Jamie Reed has been experimenting, and it looks like the results are very favorable. “Analog Hair” is a screenprint on a 12″ record, each made unique by the underlying label color. They were produced in an edition of 30, and [...]
