The reason why I love my career - I get to visit the amazing crew at Bank Robber Music for bagels, and then I get to meet the Captured Tracks crew for lunch and become instant friends. Awesome day all around. Huzzah for kindred spirits making radness in the world.
Check out CT's reissue of all the Cleaners From Venus stuff, including this track "Night Starvation" from On Any Normal Monday. Before there was Ariel Pink, there was this.
Been in the thick of work and work travel lately, so not much blogged/posted, but I've been listening to tons of new music that I'm very excited about. New albums from Youth Lagoon, Atoms For Peace, Hanni El Khatib, Widowspeak, Inc., Rhye, Yo La Tengo, Foxygen, Fear Of Men, etc. Been particularly digging the new Beach Fossils and I picked up the limited vinyl version at Other Music when I was recently in NYC. Check out this gem. The title track from the new album, Clash The Truth.

Been in the real thick of it with work for the last few weeks, so I haven't much time to listen to music or post, but when I have had some time, I've mostly been listening to all the recent Mississippi Records releases, as well as this lovely Brooklyn band, Widowspeak.
Check out the first track of their new eponymous album on Captured Tracks:
