Great lo-fi noise-pop. They eventually went on to form The Aislers Set. Kinda sad I never got too into the Aislers, so I could've gotten into Henry's Dress way sooner. These guys and Black Tambourine epitomize (in my mind) noise-pop.

V/A - Tomorrow's Hits Now [Summershine compilation]

Great, great compilation from Australian twee/indiepop label Summershine. Standout tracks are the two perfect indie-pop tracks by Autohaze, the noisy lo-fi pop "To Be Found" by Blindside (echoes of Strawberry Wine-era MBV, big shoes to fill, but trust me, it's really fucking good), the sweet, Lucksmiths-ish, twee-pop of Honeybunch's "Mine Your Own Business", and the 60's-inflected-pop song "Town I Won't Recall" by Rainyard.

But don't get me wrong, those aren't the only good tracks, definitely give this a listen through if you're any sort of indie-pop fan at all.

POBPAH vid!/Rocketship!

Oh damn, I just realized that the Pains show at Bowery is sold out. Damn. They've gotten a lot of hype. Oh well, nothing but love (unless they screw up their next album).

But anyways, new vid from them!:

I'll probably try to see them 7/10 at South Street. Kinda like when I rushed to see Boris on 7/10 last year after celebrating my little brother's birthday. Hm. Coincidences? POBPAH = new-Boris!?

In other news:

Oh shhhhhhhhhhh-- Rocketship. Damn. Gotta hunt down 'A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness' now. Now the 'star' of my small, but growing, vinyl collection.
