PREVIEW: Colleen Green :: Milo Goes to Compton
This lady is touring with Girlfriends and I just heard this track and fell in love...with it...
It's a really interesting mix of drum machine, glorious fuzz guitar and siren vocals. She's got a purple cassette out on Suffering Jukebox called Milo Goes to Compton. The title is a nice Descendents reference.

Girlfriends :: Gov't Seizure 7" Single
“Smart, decade bending, sarcaso surf-creeps”
Coming off their freshly awarded medal of honor from the Boston Phoenix as best garage act, Girlfriends have released the 7” single Gov’t Seizure.
The single song is a speedy side-winding cobweb drawl that groovily drags its feet at the end. The B-Side “Creep Stuff” is just as much fun as a lazy tempo experiment. The way the band records themselves is really key to the sound. It wouldn't be the same if it was cleaner. Just like their self-titled cassette, the overdriven vocals and white noise splashes from cymbals and amps punctuate both the sound and the lyrics, recalling some older decades. The production also has a few interesting subtle touches, like spontaneous laughter, coughing and rhythmic gargling.

MANNERS : White Wool Fog or the Cave of Light Within LP
MANNERS :: 'Cave Pt. 1'
"A woolly mammoth meditating"
The thing that gets your attention about MANNERS' White Wool Fog or The Cave of Light Within is the fact that it's a cassette and a tuft of dirty wool tied together with orange yarn. When asked about it, songwriter Greg Beson said, "It's just stuff that I like," which makes sense if you know the naturalist, farmer, botanist, stone skipper of Portland, Maine.

Bright Eyes Sound Strike Tune :: Coyote Song // Live Desaparecidos
This is Conor Oberst's protest song for soundstrike.net against the Arizona immigration legislation, played live. Kind of reminds me of "Napoleon's Hat." There should be a real video coming soon. This has me thinking of the mysterious "last Bright Eyes album ever" due out supposedly this fall. I haven't heard anything about it since Rolling Stone last year. WHERE IS IT SEÑOR OBERST!?
Also here's some video of the Desaparecidos reunion:
