Makeup and Vanity Set – Never Let Go

Halloween Soundtrack! Lets be honest, the entire MAVS catalog could be the theme music to any creepy holiday but, for my money, Never Let Go fits the bill the most perfectly. Start here and wind your way through the rest of the discography.

Shaboi – Curse Walk

Halloween Soundtrack! There’s no better collection of electic songs about Halloween themes than Shaboi’s Curse Walk. Seriously, nothing tops this.

All Them Witches – Our Mother Electricity

It’s Halloween! Celebrate with some proper dark tinged Nashville music. I like to start off my day with a proper dose of All Them Witches.. there’s a Remastered version too but, honestly, I love this original version the most.

Hotpipes – Only the Young

Right outta left field, brand new Hotpipes video! Directed by Brinn Daniels, this video goes into some dark places – adultery, alien beings, children feeding on bodies, etc. You know, standard Tuesday stuff. It’s a fine piece of work and serves as a quality reminder that Dust is one of this years best. (Source: https://player.vimeo.com/)

Joshua Morse – VLAD

In celebration of Halloween week I’m going to try to post some stuff this week that, thematically, makes sense. Joshua Morse does a great bit of chiptune and videogame music but this particular EP is themed around Castlevania – the Nintendo classic aimed at hunting down the king of vampires. It’s a fitting mix and […]

Count Drizzle – Chickn Wang

I tweeted about it late last week but if you missed the 2013 installment of absurd rap goodness from Count Drizzle, waste no more time – watch it now. There are prior installments as well. You should just go ahead and watch them all. (Source: https://twitter.com/)

Andrew Combs / Steelism split 7"

I’ll be honest, I’m a bit partial to the Steelism side of this 7" but I’m happy to see that it exists no matter what. You can pre-order the digital or physical version over on the Electric Western Bandcamp. Highly recommended weekend listening.

Meadownoise – “Hair Just So”

What’s this? A new Meadownoise track? And a promise of new music being released more regularly over the coming months? Yes, Please! The song is a slow build with that melancholy introspection tinged with  humor and a bit of tension that Mr. Glassmeyer does so well. 

Sexx – Surf City

I’m kind of a sucker for loose, raucous rock songs that still manage to give a hat tip towards some anthemic chorus. This has a nice sloppy swagger to it and a helluva good band name.

Eagle Meth – Next Level Shit

I dunno what the previous level is but this Next Level is certainly interesting. What’s that on the cover? A slug priest holding a three eyed cat while journeying through a field of psychedelic mushrooms? Yes, definitely. To be completely honest, I’ve no idea what I’m listening to but I do know if you played […]
