Show Preview: Nathan Hussey, Sleepy Vikings at One Unit Art Space
The six sleazy Tampanians (a real word according to UrbanDictionary.com) of Sleepy Vikings have braved an infernal Florida sun to write the weird songs about stalkers, dead kings, summer, presidents and teenage loitering that make up the debut album, ‘They Will Find You Here’ out May 10th on the New Granada record label.

Ben’s Vinyl Jams #7: 1000 Hurts
For this edition of vinyl jams, I’m featuring my first LP. I feel like it’s unfair for a segment focused on the analog to start anywhere other than with analog purist Steve Albini when it comes the LP format, so here’s one of Albini’s finest works. Prayer To God Shellac – 1000 Hurts (2000) In [...]

Ben’s Vinyl Jams #4: No Pussy Blues
Here’s another vinyl edition of summer jams for your listening pleasure. This week, it’s all about rejection. Songs about the big, fat NO and the feeling of a trapdoor opening up beneath your feet. Now, normally I’d have two releases to feature for my jams, but in the last week, there’s literally only been one [...]
