rotating now

Here is a list of some of the artists getting some rotation on my Rega:

No CD release of their latest LP Fits.  The band doesn’t see the point in the CD and only makes the music available in digital download format and vinyl.   Yea, a band with a clue!

Too bad these guys didn’t go on…I would bet the Nuge’s ego had a lot to do with the demise of the band.

Built to Spill continue to make some of the best guitar based indie rock.  Doug Martsch is a genius.  This LP is a little less lead heavy thanYou in Reverse

The song writing is top notch.  The 2 LP package includes the CD to make getting the material into mp3 format easier.

BTW:  LPs with mp3 downloads are the future of music.

Fans of MBV, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen et al. other 80s luminaries will dig this guitar with heavy effects based music.  Allegedly the loudest band in NYC these days.

Finally we have a very cool 80s keyboard inspired artist:

The lofi yet rich sound of their recording is perfect for anyone who digs M83.

I am somewhat relieved and encouraged by the following statement on Rhino’s web site:
