(Smog) - I Break Horses (Peel Session)

In an interview, Bill Callahan stated that “I Break Horses” was written “to help a friend try to understand how a guy she had a one-night stand with could possibly not return her phone calls the next day or ever again.”

Once I went to see Bill Callahan play live, and there was this one dude who wouldn’t stop shouting for “I Break Horses”. I didn’t know the song at the time, but i sure know why he called for it now. This version, performed live as a Peel Session, is a revelation.

XYX - Nunca, Nunca

Here’s something really unique from Mexico. They’re called XYX and this is from their 7” way back in August, but I only just discovered it. Incredible garagey punk goodness, with a big pop edge. The shouted spanish vocals remind of remind me of Bonde Do Role in parts, which is very surprising for a band of this nature. Really excited to hear what they have to come, unfortunately this 7” is sold out but there’s a new one on Skulltones in the next month or so. Exciting!

I think i’m going to use this exclusively for music i’m enjoying at the moment.

This is Pretty Boy Crossover’s remix of Meanderthal by Underlapper.

The Twerps - Dance Alone

Still my favourite song of this year (even though i heard it last year)

Twerps to rule the world.

Go buy their cdr, its great and cheap and lovingly handmade.
