field on fire

Continuing with their constant churning of (multi)repeatable tunes, Weed Diamond come back with a couple demo recordings of their newest visions. These tracks may explore different moods from one another with “Chalice” as a slow-burning grower and “Field on Fire” being a long-lived pop marathon (5+ miuntes!), but both are soaking with lovely 90s lo-fidelity. With no mentions of a label or release info, it is still unclear of what their intentions are with these. Still, I’d rather have the mp3s than nothing at all…

Bridgetown Records continues to crank out to goods and stays true to this with their upcoming Weed Diamond LP, Carry On. Tim Perry and co. have dropped this humid shoegazer “Mint In My Mouth” and included this Land O’Goshen compiled video collage. Out now and available for purchase from the Bridgetown shop, Carry On also comes with a remastered copy of the great (out of print) Mirror Universe release, Sweater Kids.

One of our blog bros (who recently crashed our hotel room this last weekend at SXSW) Jheri over at GOTC has just made a video collage to the tune of Weed Diamond’s “Snowmelt”. Seems like they enjoyed it enough to call it their official video for the tune.

Just in time for Spring, Weed Diamond’s latest, “Snowmelt”, is set as the a-side for 7″ single release. Since it’s over the top good, it would only make sense for our friends at Transparent to press this gem. With “Oklahoma” on the flip, these two sunny pop tunes are perfect for keeping those icicles off yr eaves. On top of all this, we’ll get to hang with both WD and the Transparent dudes in Austin in the coming weeks. Limited to 300 copies, order now.

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.

neontongues

These new guys out of Cleveland, Neon Tongues, are going to be the reason for yet another lo-fi sub-genre (no worries, I’m not gonna be “that guy” and try to name it). This might have very well been recorded on one of those Home Alone talkboys, but I’ve always been a sucker for raw dusty recordings. Also, never knew that Tim Perry (Weed Diamond) had his own blog. Looks like he’s crushin’ on these guys too.

weed diamond// arlington baby

Since Weed Diamond is such a sweetheart, he has graced us all with yet another wonderful song, I tell you, I love prolific bands. In “Arlington Baby” we turn down the noise and get a little lo-fi Amnesiac with it; it almost seems this song is a prelude to another aural pleasure we have yet to hear. Enjoy the song and keep in touch with Weekly Tape Deck for all your future Weed Diamond needs.

Tim Perry (Weed Diamond) just introduced us to a previous side project of his, Single Skips. Apparently, it’s always 4:20 in Denver as the tracks offered were off the appropriately titled Lush/Cola Tape. Less guitar and more laptop, but it’s still as intriguing as his WD project.
