Clare Burson, Silver and Ash
Ooooo! New record! No word on official release date. But you can hear tracks here. At first listen, I Will/With You, Everything’s Gone, Losin’ You, likey. She’s sultry, she’s wicked. Dangerously lovely combination. If you haven’t heard any of her older stuff before, buy all of it. Seriously.
Andy Zipf, What’s Going On
Damn, Andy always slays me, especially with covers. Heart him.
Bill Mullins, all of it
Surf guitar rock at its finest. And other stuff too. Straight from Vermont. Hometown boy!
The Cars, Candy-O
Hard to believe I didn’t have a copy of this already and I was desperately missing it. Luckily, Cupid came through on Valentine’s Day, bless his heart. It’s All I Can Do/Let’s Go are perhaps two of my fave songs ever. So happy to have them in my life again whenever I choose. The Cars rule, rule, rule.
The Damnwells (sort of), One Last Century
Sweet Jesus! You know I love me some Damnwells. New record out, download it for free here (annoyingly, it’s through Paste — we being adamant Blurt people around here. But hey, free is free). In any case, good to have the boys back, sort of… Dave and Steve stepped away last year. But still, I fucking adore this band. Lots to dig on this record, still chewing on it. Dandelion stands out. Need to give it a spin in the car. For sure, Alex’s magic scratchy, woo-voice (I know that sounds sappy!) always gets me at the knees. And this one seems made for sync, loaded with ballads, very smart. A little light on the guitar-grit this go around, which, as those of you who know me know… I’ve got a thing for guitars. Speaking of… Chernis has a few new things up his sleeve. In case you missed him 
. Darjeeling Mail’s my favorite.
