Valet (Honey Owens from Jackie-O Motherfucker) - Naked Acid
Very nice so far. Liking it much more than her last album.
Some parts sound a tiny bit like Brightblack Morning Light.

Sun City Girls - 330003 Crossdressers from Beyond The Rig Veda
Bellman Barker infectious well crafted indie stuff from a local band…

Diamond Hoo-Ha Men, while their bass player is on the mend, the rest of Supergrass rock it White Strips style…. Here's hoping the next Supergrass album and tour has some of this fire and grit.

Wildildlife - Six
One of the reviews of it started with the line "This is what it would sound like if Animal Collective discovered doom metal." which is fairly accurate so far.

Not that I was a big fan to start with, but I was hoping for better…
i don't think at this point that stephin merritt would make an album just like any of his others, so it's fun to see him taking chances with the instrumentation and sounds, and i think they generally work … i'd love to hear these songs live where they won't be able to replicate the noisy sound of the album, there are some real pop gems on there
Originally posted by sweetcell:you're crazy, "california girls" is probably my favorite song of the year so far … another sang by shirley simms ("the nun's litany"?) is great too
