This is a nice, little, two part video on the recording process of Deerhunter’s 2008 magnum opus Microcastle, one of my favorite albums.

Yeah yeah, I know this is like a month later, better late than never, which seems to be the mantra of my posts these days. I heard “He Would Have Laughed” was amazing, but I couldn’t find any videos. This is one of the finest Deerhunter performances I’ve seen on You Tube, wish I was there! Bradford looks like David Bowie haha.
Upcoming LP Re-Issues
Some good news on the vinyl front:
– In The Red Records will be re-issuing the currently very hard-to-find Black Lips LPs Los Valientes del Mundo Nuevo (2007), Good Bad Not Evil (2007), and 200 Million Thousand (2009) in August.
– FDH Records will be re-issuing Terror Visions’ World of Shit. Originally released as a picture disc in 2006, this will be getting the proper LP treatment soon. And for those of you still confused, Terror Visions was a side project of Jay Reatard’s, similar in style to Lost Sounds, but harsher, darker and not as melodic.
Boston Counter Cultural Compass – JUL 11
KLYAM has a neat calendar of shows that we plan on attending or, at the very least, recommend to others. The Boston Counter Cultural Compass has an even better publication that details quite a gamut of gigs every month. A good chunk of the listings are area punk houses and basements [what we folks like to call the underground underground] so please do get in touch with the BCCC or BCCCers (new term, maybe?) for information on locales. This is a great source for local music happenings — perhaps the best. They have a constantly updated Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boston-Counter-Cultural-Compass/137506276302253?ref=ts and a website: http://www.bostoncccompass.com/.
Click here or on the picture below [to make it more readable] to see what is going on for the rest of July!
