invisibility: nonexistent

Heres a 7 minute jammy-jam from Kurt Vile from his new Square Shells EP on Matador. Im always excited about anything Vile-related, I happen to think Childish Prodigy was one of the better records to come out last year, polished or not, the man has chops.

[video] kurt vile//he’s alright

The rad dudes over at Yours Truly gave us a heads up on their intimate Kurt Vile session played in a small San Fransisco apartment unit. Vile plays two tracks, “He’s Alright” and “Breathin’ Out”, and decides that a piss break can wait. The former will be featured on Vile’s new LP, Childish Prodigy, due out on Matador.

kurt vile on dublab

Head over to Dublab and listen to a stone washed “Sprout Session” from Philly’s Kurt Vile. A four track continuous stream including the new “Overnight Religion” and “Runner Ups”. Mr. Vile is certainly no stranger to that delay pedal.

weekly mixtape//hold yr breath

oldmanpool copy

There’s something about plunging into a crisp swimming pool that makes me feel completely isolated from the masses in my surroundings. The images in my chlorine filled eyes are familiar yet not completely defined, a mash up of chatter (which I’m, most likely, not interested in) is almost completely filtered out through the water, and I’m completely floating in a medium where the normal rules of gravity don’t apply. More themed than most of my mixtapes, these tracks (which also happen to be new/ish) are nearly as muffled as the bros in the pool crowd. And Robin, I gots that jj for ya.

FINALLY: No, this isn’t the podcast, yet, but I’ve included a link to download this weeks mixtape in its entirety. Enjoy!

weekly mixtape

weekly-tapemix-3-no-overlay

Still haven’t gotten the whole “podcast” perfected yet. But, no worries, I’ll keep to my word. Can’t say it’s the most eventful weekend (show-wise), unless you’re just dying to make it to that New Kids on the Block bash tonight (seriously, this is not some lame ass joke). Here’s a slight recap of the week and (as always) a few extra I couldn’t let slide.

UPDATE: Remember how I said this weekend was uneventful? Well, I’m completely full of shit. Tonight, for all you readers in the DFW area, the Dallas Observer will be showcasing most of the musicians nominated for this years Dallas Observer Music Awards (DOMAXXI, their 21st year). Six venues in the Lower Greenville area will host 40 bands for the oh-so-low price of 5 bucks. WTD favs Bad Sports, Yeahdef, and Fergus and Geronimo are just a few in what should be an abundance of stellar live music. Here is the lineup/schedule.

Spectrals – Leave Me Be
Javelin – Vibrationz
Thee Oh Sees – Meat Step Lively
The Yolks – I Do What I Do
Kurt Vile – Overnite Religion
The Big Pink – Velvet
Cold Cave – Love Comes Close
Pictureplane – Dark Rift
Bat For Lashes – Pearl’s Dream (blossom and surrender remix)
Neon Indian – Should Have Taken Acid With You
The Beets – What Did I Do
Wavves – Wavves
Tim Cohen – Take Aim Goliath
