It’s been a while since I’ve lost sleep in anticipation of Christmas Day goodies. As a kid, thoughts of the Transformers Dinobots and Legos were usually the culprit. This year: The Underwater Peoples Winter Review. Seriously, I ran to the computer and downloaded this before I even took a glimpse at any wrapped boxes. After some quality headphone time, we would like to share this awesome compilation over airwaves (um, internet airwaves) from cover to cover. Since our episodes are 16 tracks long (the comp being only 15), we thought it fitting to lead off with MJ’s “Human Nature”. Head to Indie-Verse for the broadcast and, when you’re done, download the entire thing free (for a limited time) at Chocolate Bobka’s.

After all of those lonely solo shows, the great Ryan (and his silky baritone voice) is finally back in action. This weeks playlist was pruned and handpicked by the man himself, so you know it’s good. Don’t forget to come out to the Granada Theater on the 10th for Jay Reatard, Fergus & Geronimo, and Surfer Blood.

Sawyer Carter Jacobs puts together one mean promo package. Contents: the a/b sides to Frat Dad’s upcoming 7″ and Brendon Mitchell’s 4th grade homework assignment (complete with a variety of drawings). I could try to encapsulate their sound in my own words, but Sawyer’s verse is righteous as fuck. “Frat Dad is like going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, then landing in a Middle School Cafeteria… on Mexican Pizza Day. They’re a couple of bad ass, good for nothing, down low, mother fucks. They don’t give a shit.” Check our previous dig for the b-side and stream the a, “Greg the Nerd”, here. Then, you can head over to the Underwater Peoples site to pre-order this limited release gem. Out September 23rd on clear vinyl and CDR.

I’ve been mulling through this idea for the past couple of weeks, and finally decided to yank the plug on the weekly mixtape installment. Not saying I’m done making mixes all together, but I feel like they should be more of a novel concept. Maybe something seasonal? Not sure, don’t really want to obligate myself to anything. But, when then mixtapes do roll-out I’ll make sure you guys know about it.

Underwater Peoples is on a roll with their latest signings; Frat Dad is a perfect example of this good fortune. Coming from the same magical land as “The Boss,” this duo manifests a psychedelic cacophony of melodies that invite you to sing-a-long in delight. The band only has one show coming up which is the Underwater Peoples Showcase in Brooklyn next week, which is sure to be a veritable monsoon of dischord as it features Ducktails, Real Estate and Beach Fossils to name a few. I suggest if you are in the area, you take full advantage of this wonderful show.
