Kokopeligroso – The Turtle Shuffle EP

wott_kokopeligroso
Newcomers Kokopeligroso & Blackbear collaborate to make The Turtle Shuffle EP. They've barely played any shows and it's probably not wise to judge a band by two songs but I'm loving the overall vibe.

Jota Ese – Super Dank II

In case you missed it, Jota Ese released a new mixtape / album / video on April 20th. Some might call it Record Store Day but I think there were other obvious reasons. Regardless of the why, it's another fine release from Day Old Records and Jota Ese.

The Maloneys – “Get a Snare”

The Maloneys - Get a Snare

What I love about The Maloneys is the same thing I hate about them - they seem to be intentional terrible. Lots of gritty / poor recording and general "why did I just listen to that?" feelings emanate from these 14+ minutes but it's hard to turn away.

RSD Reminder.

wott_rsd013
This week has been crazy. Just bonkers in terms of terrible things happening. So, you owe it to yourself to have a nice weekend! Do not slip up tomorrow. Attend as many Record Store Day festivities as you can. You'll thank yourself for it. Here's the rundown that I posted Monday:

Grimeys / The Basement – this is a no brainer and always insanely packed. Performances from The Features, Hotpipes, PUJOL and a bunch more.

The Groove – every bit as good as the Grimey’s celebration in my opinion. Lots of affordable vinyl and performances from Tristen, Forget Cassettes, Western Medication and a bunch more.

Fond Object Grand Opening – you know there’s a new record store opening up in Inglewood right across from The Village Pub? Well, there is and they have performances from Promised Land, Cheap Time, JP5 and more.

Hotpipes – “Answer Your Telephone”

Hotpipes - Answer Your Telephone

Another week, another reminder that Hotpipes have a new record coming out May 7th. The band is also playing this Saturday at Grimey's Record Store Day celebration and I imagine they'll play this one. The video features a pretty freaky looking paternal demon figure - you know, as a good video should!

RSD 2013

wott_rsd013

Record Store Day 2013 is this Saturday, April 20th. By the end of the week you will likely be overwhelmed with updates about it but there's a ton of great stuff going on around town worth participating in.. so better to plan earlier than not.

Grimeys / The Basement - this is a no brainer and always insanely packed. Performances from The Features, Hotpipes, PUJOL and a bunch more.

The Groove - every bit as good as the Grimey's celebration in my opinion. Lots of affordable vinyl and performances from Tristen, Forget Cassettes, Western Medication and a bunch more.

Fond Object Grand Opening - you know there's a new record store opening up in Inglewood right across from The Village Pub? Well, there is and they have performances from Promised Land, Cheap Time, JP5 and more. 

There are plenty more events going on than those listed above - i.e. The 5 Spot 10-Year Anniversary - but those are the heavy hitters. Mold your day around that.

Magnolia Sons – “Nobody But You” b/w “Hey Emmaline”

225538802-1
Magnolia Sons - "Nobody But You" b/w "Hey Emmaline"

More of the nu-soul sound from Magnolia Sons in their preferred format - two songs at a time (historically, the main way to consume this style of tunes).
