Secret Seven Records is prepped to a release a new compilation on the eve March that encompasses the vast range of sound coming out of the San Francisco area. The compilation titled In A Cloud: New Sounds From San Francisco and includes new tracks from Thee Oh Sees, The Fresh & Onlys, Ty Segall, Tim Cohen, Sonny & The Sunsets, The Sandwitches, Hannah & Raven (of Grass Widow) and tons more. Im stoked about hearing anything new from Ty Segall so I present this to you via the wonderful Secret Seven Records; “Hey Big Mouth” is the song and its a roarin’ raucous punk tribute, hard hitting and as snotty as the Dead Boys. You can pre-order the LP here.

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

I haven’t been shy in posting on the Fresh & Onlys this year. More than a few posts and even included them in my “Best Of So Far” list. Tim Cohen (F&O frontman), on top of everything else, has just released a solo project with Secret Seven and Empty Cellar Records (via Endless Nest Collective). Those familiar with Tim Cohen might, also, recognize him with the recently disbanded Black Fiction. His latest LP, The Two Sides of Tim Cohen, offers eerie psych-folk tunes and set Tim apart from his other endeavors. Very limited! Only 250 copies pressed (100 are in white). Highly recommended tunes! Buy here.
Tim Cohen – Take Aim Goliath
Tim Cohen – Open Up the Sky
