Ty Segall “My Head Explodes” Video/ “I Am Not A Game” White Fence Collab

So the following may or may not be the official video for Ty’s outstanding Goodbye Bread track “My Head Explodes”. The video says it is official so we’ll accept that as truth. Either way, it’s less psychedelic and more carnage than the other Goodbye Bread vids.

Secondly, Ty has a collaborative album coming out in April with White Fence. It’s called Hair and a couple days ago a song on it called “I Am Not A Game” was made available for listening pleasure. Click to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkL26bcfUG0&feature=related

Upcoming Release: “The MaximumRockNRoll EP” (NOBUNNY)

Coming forth on Record Store Day (April 21) is what will most likely be an incredible piece of music from one of our favorites, Nobunny!!!! It’s called The MaximumRockNRoll EP and is “minimum fidelity and maximum punk attack”. That sounds good I tell ya! It will be released by the great Goner Records.

Side A: “Assholes” “At The Mall” “I Can’t Stop”
Side B: “I See Swastikas” “Lizard Liar$ & Sluts For Hire”

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.
