Old Time SOTD: The Old Haunts “Hurricane Eyes”

The Old Haunts from Olympia had some nice releases in their day – sounding at the best of times like their contemporary (and similar artist if you’ve been hitting up Pandora) Jay Reatard. Very straight-forward and hooky all throughout. Take a listen, if you haven’t heard this tune.

Classic SOTD: “Tiny Little Home” (Jay Reatard)

This is the first time I have heard this version of “Tiny Little Home,” which now appears as a Watch Me Fall bonus track. Jay recorded a demo back in March 2008 and I presume gave it the full Reatard treatment a short while later.

Song of the Day: “100 Flowers” – Lovvers

To start the day off right:

SOTD: “Shag Carpet” (Wallpaper)

This is a little known gem of sorts from Wallpaper, a band that was at one point signed to K Records. “Shag Carpet” is a track from On The Chewing Gum Ground (2008, K Records). This song is interesting because it’s the perfect combination of Is This It era riffage and tougher/Australian-sounding punk. Recommended listening to those of all rock and roll backgrounds, whether you prefer early 2000s revival or some of the more recent surf/lo-fi/punk stuff.

Song of the Day: “Death of Me” (Box Elders)

Rest in peace Box Elders !

Song of the Day: “Age of Consent” (New Order)

Heard this one for the first time on Friday. It very much stuck out to me as sort of an in between of the New Order song “Temptation” and anything from the Spaceman 3 catalog.

SOTD By The New BOTW: Bleached !

Here’s “Electric Chair,” which I mentioned in my review of their performance from Sunday. Once again, great band, look forward to hearing more of their material!

SOTD: “No Time To Be 21″ (Adverts)

In honor of my upcoming turning of age:

KLYAM is off to a slow start (post-wise), do not fret or cry, though. Some great content is sure to be coming. Always does.

Link Wray – Black River Swamp [1971]

Been missing out on Link Wray. Not an old-time musician to miss out on.

Song of the Day: Lovely Bad Things – “I Just Want You To Go Away”

Live at the Galaxy Theater! Awesome band…check out their SoundCloud for more tunes! And their website and Facebook. Also, there’s this interview I just stumbled upon, which really shows just how enthusiastic this band is.
