NPR Exclusive

I would just like to point out that NPR has Conor Oberst and Mystic Valley Band's new album Outer South available for streaming, which will be available for purchase on May 5th. So far, I am on the third track entitled "Big Black Nothing", and I am enjoying it.

I thought that Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band did a great job at Coachella this year. It's definitely a show worth seeing.

Dum Dum Girls

Dum Dum Girls is actually only one girl, Dee Dee. Based in Los Angeles, Dum Dum Girls produces a lo-fi sound, and at times the vocals are airy and haunting.

Most often, Dum Dum Girls is compared to Vivian Girls, and I can see why. I also noticed some similarities with Crystal Stilts, and even Warpaint (most notably in the song "Baby Don't Go", which is my favorite song by them.)

That's all I really have to say about Dum Dum Girls at the moment.

I'll be heading out to Coachella this weekend, and hopefully I'll be posting about all of the happenings when I get back.

Until then.

Dead Man's Bones' "Name In Stone"

Dead Man's Bones released another brilliant video a couple of weeks back for yet another brilliant song entitled "Name In Stone". Just watch the video. I need not say more.
