together PANGEA - Kenmore Ave.

She says that living with me is bringing her down
I know this shit that I'm on is bumming me out
I don't wanna try I wanna figure it out
Cause I know that living with me is bringing me down

"She don't know about [together] PANGEA" ~ Brain

I didn't either, until about a week ago. "Better Find Out", a terrific, and in this case, appropriately titled, track, showed up in one of the many playlists I follow and I earmarked them for a listen. (Get it?) Anyhoo, I've given their latest, Bulls And Roosters, a couple spins and it's a damn fine album. The back catalog has some diamonds as well. They've got a fairly unique sound; garage rock, but put in a blender and mixed up with...the kitchen sink and refrigerator too. They remind me of some of my favorite Canadian indie bands: Sloan and Library Voices, but with a bit more Cali.

RIYL: Sloan, White Reaper, FIDLAR, The Coathangers, Wavves

Two Door Cinema Club - Next Year (RAC Remix)

I don't know where I
Am going to rest my head tonight.
So I won't promise that I'll speak
To you today,
But if I ever find
Another place, a better time
For that moment,
I was never what I am.

Take to me to where you are,
What you've become,
And what you will do
When I am gone.
I won't forget,
I won't forget.

We're going to TDCC next week with a bunch of friends and even though I saw this band twice last year I'm really excited - their set is pure fun! How does so much good music come out of little ol' Ireland? And for today's MIS I picked another mix by RAC - pseudonym for André Alan Anjos. He's such a unique producer, working with everyone from U2 and Lady Gaga to Linkin Park and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, throw in New Order for good measure. (He also lives in Portland, Oregon via Porto, Portugal and likes to post pics for #caturday, quirky facts I love.) Anyway, enjoy this mellow treat on your Thursday and I hope you have lots of things to look forward to, whether it's a show, or cat pics, or your next trip home.

RIYL: Wombats, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, Bastille

Upcoming Shows

TRASH - I'm No Good

Do it again, mess with my head
No one has to go
Screw me again, fuck up my bed
Put back on your clothes
If you have to go
I guess that's also fine

Earnest indie dream pop out of Chesterfield, England. They want to make you smile while you're sad and dance and maybe laugh a little - and they advertise true love to be found at their live shows so if you're in the market, and in the UK, you should probably give that a try. 

RIYL: Day Wave, RINSE, Slowdive, DIIV, Amber Clouds
