I’m a big fan of Spider Bags and hope this new video & song means new material is on the way (via @malitzd) Also check out a video I shot of them at SXSW 2010.
Some new material from Eric Gaffney from Sebadoh, on an Angelfire page no less! Lots of info to ingest here along with some free mp3′s, so check it out — the man’s done some good work in the past.
GRACEFULLY AGING HIPPY SOLOISTS.
A nice psychedelic new video for your weekend from Ty Segall, its got all the right moves to keep you fuzzed out for awhile.
Stumbled across this London band called Wet Paint that seems to be giving bands like Yuck a run for their money at being the most 90′s affected thing around right now. I kind of just buy into it all really, so enjoy the Dino/Pave/SY slack mash-up.
Brand new video for Surf City directed and edited by my good pal Raul Wilderness Bureau [@raulzahir] — give it a spin.

Tues 11/29: 4th Tuesday Freak Out! with plums and Foul Swoops [link]
