Ā 

Live thrash is good. Until someone thrashy comes to town worth hearingĀ  (T54 ?) this mix will have to do.

The Thermal’s new album continues their old testament crime and punishment theme.Ā  Katie Crutchfield from P.S Eliott shows why screaming in tune is so rewarding, and F***ed Up show us just how much breath you need to sing in a hard core punk band (though eclipsed by Jon Chang of Hayaino Daisuki who has an extraordinary ability to keep the screaming going).

I am really enjoying the Milk Music album (at long last), the latest from The Thermals and GRMLN.

Videos below, including, if I can get my act together, my lame effort from SXSW 2012 showing me heading into the Twilight Sad after eating too many burritos, crashing The Guards and catching a ride on a pedicab (a bike taxi) to see Built to Spill. Crank up the quality and enjoy it in hi-res.

PS, I applaud the photographer who persevered and filmed the F***ed Up clip below amid total chaos, bravo. This band I must see live.

An early morning mix; mellow, haunting and occasionally twee.

For those curious about the Carpenters track that rounds off this mix, read more here.

Here’s some videos.

Jenny O. Automechanic.

JENNY O. - "Automechanic" - (Live from Silverlake, CA) #JAMINTHEVAN

Cate le Bon – Hollow Trees House Hounds. Give her a big hand, she’s Welsh!

CocoRosie – End of Time. Totally bonkers. Many reviewer give the Casady sisters a D- but they have their supporters.Ā  I like them fine.

The Luyas – Fifty / Fifty

The Luyas - Fifty/Fifty (Here Today Sessions)

Waxahatchee – Swan Dive. Katie Crutchfield is all grown up now, so I suppose there won’t be so much screaming, which is a shame.
