[ALBUM REVIEW] SUMMER TWINS - SUMMER TWINS
Back in the heyday of Myspace, I became friends with a "Chelsea Brown". She was a California cutie…in a band. As a band-less girl in the middle of nowhere, I'll admit that I was a wee bit jealous. Later on, along with her sister, Justine, the two formed Summer Twins. Their new, self-titled album (released through Burger Records) is a lo-fi, surf rock romp. Like unwrapping a lovely homemade gift tied with a pretty lace bow, tracks such as "I Will Love You" open up the the dreamy sound world of the classic 60's girl groups. The songs make me think about hanging out with the Summer Twins, drinking coke out of bottles, talking about cute boys we hate, and riding bikes through a graveyard. Summer Twins will be at the Empty Bottle, March 25th supporting Peter Case & Paul Collins.

RECORD STORE DAY APRIL 21, 2012
Iggy Pop - Reminiscence from Record Store Day on Vimeo.
Record Store Day is proud to announce the appointment of IGGY POP to the post of Record Store Day 2012 Ambassador.
A person should have a personality. You won't get one dicking around on a computer. It helps to go somewhere where there are other persons. Persons who are interested in something you are. That's how a record store or any shop that's got some life to it should work. It's not about selling shit. I got my name, my musical education and my personality all from working at a record store during my tender years. Small indie shops have always been a mix of theater and laboratory. In the 50's and 60's the teen kids used to gather after school at these places to listen free to the latest singles and see if they liked the beat. You could buy the disc you liked for 79 cents and if you were lucky meet a chick. Clerks in these places became managers, (like Brian Epstein), label heads, (Jack Holzman) and Faces on album covers (like me). Personally I feel best in a store that, while staying small and socially relaxed, still keeps a complete variety of music types and non musical recordings on offer. I'm aware though that a lot of great places are genre-specific, like dance hall shops in Jamaica or Compas here in Little Haiti. In Europe and on the West coast the same goes on for Punk and Goth. All of this is cool and has a much bigger future than most people realize today. When the record and record store businesses began to die at the turn of the new century, they deserved it because they got too big too boring and too plastic. As Record Store Day Ambassador for 2012 I feel like a representative from some exotic jungle full of life and death and sex and anger, called upon to wear a leopard skin and translate joy to the world of the dead.

[ALBUM REVIEW] THE HOLIDAY CROWD - OVER THE BLUFFS
For those of you waiting for a Smiths reunion, wait no longer! The Smiths have been reunited in the form of The Holiday Crowd. Listen, this record sounds SO much like The Smiths, I looked up the songs on YouTube to make sure they weren’t Smiths songs mislabeled. So, this can swing you one of either two ways: You could be one of those people who say “Yeah, I love The Smiths, and a new band that sounds like them would be awesome!” Or you could say “That band The Holiday Crowd is a just rip off and completely lacks originality.” One thing that can’t be denied is that a good amount of the songs on the record are pretty catchy, rip off or not. (And keep in mind, it does NOT sound like solo Morrissey). However, not every song has trademark Moz vocals. The song "Painted Like a Forest" has a dancey bass line that charges on behind a a nice little Jonny Marr style arpeggiated riff, however the vocals are little more reminiscent of Robert Smith or Ian McCulloch. Let me put it this way, if you played this record for someone who has never heard The Smiths but you think would probably like them, they would probably love Over the Bluffs. I give it 4 out of 5 pompadours.
