Tommy & The Ohs – “Living in the Swamp”
There is a lot to love about this Tommy and The Ohs track. It features gorgeous Jim McGuire photography for the cover art, it was recorded direct to 2" tape at RCA Studio C and, best of all, the songs are damn good.
You know what’s NOT great about it? A $9 pricetag for three digital files. I can forgive the $20 sticker price for a direct-to-acetate 7" – that’s a collector’s item – but I’m really shocked about the digital price. Maybe even offended?Â
Despite that, it really is enjoyable to listen to.
They’re There – Warshin My CatfishÂ

What Up English – …Play The Hits
It may be a little early for a band like What Up English to be releasing a Best Of or Rarities compilation but they’re cleaning house in preparation for a bunch of new recordings coming soon, so why not? Also, it acts as a great sampler introduction to the band.Â
This trailer for the R. Stevie Moore film
has been around for 2 years but I just revisited it this weekend and it got me re-excited for the project. Anyone know what’s happening with it? It looks like it would be great!
Caitlin Rose – “Pink Rabbits” (The National)
Does my heart good to see so many awesome talented Nashville people featured on Spin.com for this. Caitlin’s original songs are top notch but she always does a helluva cover, this is no different.

PETTY – Doug ft. The Beets Killer Tofu Tour `96
If I could pinpoint what it was that it’s so damn charming about this song, I would. But I can’t! I think it was the ridiculously perfect artist description that drew me in and then the song itself is obviously someone enjoying themselves, a quality often lost in hip-hop.
