1. Deastro posted up a new EP at their blog. The electronic artist Randolph Cabot Jr. is prepping for a new full length release and is offering up some free tracks (as will happen frequently with Chabot). It's a fun, upbeat album that ought to make you excited for the fall Deastro release.2. Deerhoof recorded a Daytrotter session this past week. It includes slightly more spacey and reverb laced versions of some recent songs, as well as a pretty awesome thirty second improv introduction to the session which is worth listening to.
3. The Bowery Poetry Club in New York hosted a show called "Double Nickels" Anniversary Show a little while back, and NYC Taper has posted audio of the show. It was a celebration of The Minutemen's pivotal album Double Nickels on the Dime (possibly best discussed in Michael Azzarad's Our Band Could Be Your Life). The show has really cemented by a short set from former The Minutemen member Mike Watt. Great tribute to a band whose career was tragically cut way too short.
4. Minneapolis stalwart's Halloween, Alaska recorded a Daytrotter Session last week that is pretty solid. If you haven't heard them take a listen to this.
5. John Vanderslice recorded a version of his track "Sunken Union Boat" for KEXP, who has posted the track to The Free Music Archive. It's a really great track that rivals his recent set done with an orchestra.
