CHERRYSTONES - THE NEW JERUSALEM
Cherrystones - The New Jerusalem Very excited to stumble upon these radio shows from Cherrystones while trying to track down last week’s Exotic Pylon show (also recommended). When it comes to tunes, Cherrystones knowledge and selection is second to none. His enthusiasm for new and old sounds is contagious and these shows promise to be some heady listening. Also, check out his equally...

JAMES PANTS - BOILER ROOM
BR#66 James Pants from BOILER ROOM on Vimeo. Check out this footage of James Pants in the Boiler Room - probably the best live show I’ve seen all year.  The Boiler Room videos don’t quite capture the heat, sweat and utterly destructive bass of this wee room in Corsica Studios - something that Angus Finlayson mentions in a recent Quietus article - but Pants’ hyperactive one-man...

SLEEP DEALER
  Seriously sick new track from the forthcoming Oneohtrix Point Never LP.  Replica is a “song cycle based around lo-fi audio procured from television advertisement compilations.” OPN says it “has as much to do with environmental, broadcasted, and club sounds as it does with more direct musical influences.”

MAUS
The non-blogging third of Bop Yestrum has pointed us towards this interview with John Maus conducted by his brother Joseph. K: Were there any new aesthetic goals you were aiming for on this record? JM: The aesthetic goal for this record was to push the work further. In this respect, I believe the record is a failure.  Our love for the Maus doesn’t need reiterated so I’ll...

Only 3 years after their last two track 12” on Italians Do It Better, Invisible Conga People return with another couple of slow grooves for DFA. Just as sweet is this new mix of “late night electronica, early industrial, and breezy ambience”

U.S. GIRLS: THE ISLAND SONG
U.S. Girls always seemed really underrated to me. Maybe I’m not looking in the right places. Anyways, here’s a new jam I’ve been obsessing over for the last while. Hopefully hear it on record before the year’s out.

Psyched to see Not Not Fun on the cover of this month’s The Wire. The consistency of their output is at an all-time high and their 100% Silk sub-label has raised the game even further. Amanda and Britt have put together a playlist of exclusive forthcoming releases for the magazine here

HOW TO WRECK A NICE BEACH
Thoroughly enjoyed HipHop critic Dave Tompkins enthuse about the history of the vocoder at Cafe Oto last week and look forward to picking up his book, How To Wreck A Nice Beach The vocoder, invented by Bell Labs in 1928, once guarded phones from codebreakers during World War II; by the Vietnam War, it had been repurposed as a voice-altering tool for musicians and soon became the ubiquitous...

MI AMI - HARD UP
After losing a member last year, Mi Ami have reinvented themselves for a new 12” on Thrill Jockey. Their new sound is more in tune with mainman Daniel’s Sex Worker and Ital projects and seems born from the subjects he enthused about last time we hosted them in Belfast - Techno, Italo Disco, and nites/mornings spent in a Berlin warehouse with sweat dripping down the walls.

CHEERIO TRISH
Broadcast - Before We Begin So sad about the passing of Trish Keenan.  Broadcast have been a constant in our listening since they appeared totally out of sync with the prevailing trends fifteen years ago.  Timeless and irreplaceable, it’s just so heartbreaking that both Trish and her groups’ best days lay ahead of them.

HAUNTED VAMPIRES
Sad to hear of Pocahaunted calling it a day after five years and a ton of releases. Their final 7inch ends the journey with a sweet amalgamation of their latter-day “outsider funkadelic” sound and the ecstatic bliss-outs they were initially known for. Pocahaunted: Threshold Not one to hang about, Amanda Brown - founder of Pocahaunted and Not Not Fun - has followed up her awesome...
