Wye Oak - Spiral

| Keith
Thoughts becoming her
Mean on, let it
When our lips come together
I come over
Wake up notices you made it
Beauty, baby
When our lips come together
I get, older

If you're lucky, you might already know Wye Oak, perhaps from their outstanding 2011 album and single "Civilian". If you're not lucky, he's your opportunity to win. "Spiral" one of two terrific songs they put out in September will give you an idea of their sound.

Upcoming Shows

Jay Reatard - Hammer I Miss You

| Keith
And every hour that passes
While I'm living in the dark
Reminds me when we saw the boys
Bending at the knees
Hammer
I miss you

It had been a little while since I'd listened to Jay Reatard, but last night, at the Japandroids / Cloud Nothing's show I heard "Hammer I Miss You" between sets. It was the second time in as many days and it's a terrific song. RIP Jay.

RIYL: Ty Segall, The Black Lips, King Tuff, Parquet Courts

Wavves, Cloud Nothings - Come Down

| Keith
Just to be something is hard enough
There's no defense, we're good enough
The world around you is barely there
There's something wrong creeping into your life
You do not notice, you do not care
There's something wrong creeping into your life

Tonight is the night! We're going to see Cloud Nothings and Japandroids! They're two of my favorite bands and I couldn't be more stoked. I thought of cueing up a song of one of their latest albums, as they're both stellar, but couldn't decide. Instead, here's one of the Wavves / Cloud Nothings collab, No Life for Me, which is also stellar.
