Slow week here at blog headquarters. Or actually a busy one in terms of commitments outside the home which has meant for limited posting opportunities. Expect the same next week, but more on that later…<\/p>\n
Here is this week’s selection of music.<\/p>\n

“See” – Hooveriii
\nHoover three, get it? The latest track to pop up recently that has at least a hint of psychedelic funk to it. Might we be in the midst of a boomlet?<\/p>\n
“Years Ago” – The Radio Field
\nLovely jangle pop. This band is nearly impossible to Google, so it was tough to find info about this band. They are from D\u00fcsseldorf, which is a surprise. They are signed to Subjangle Records, which is awesome.<\/p>\n
“ENTITLED MAN” – Ron Gallo
\nI did some reading on this guy and apparently his muse takes him all over the place, from garage rock like this into the world of jazz. One writer compared him to Frank Zappa, which is interesting. I dig this song and its digs at toxic masculinity.<\/p>\n
“Lipstick on the Mic” – Leggy
\nThese kids are from Cincinnati, a city that has a surprisingly good music scene. It was even better when WOXY was still around. If M goes to school there I wonder if she’ll get into the local bands? Maybe we can go see The Afghan Whigs or Wussy together. Or perhaps this band.<\/p>\n
“Catch a Colt” – The Afghan Whigs
\nHey, speaking of the Whigs, they have a new album out! It got pretty good reviews although I have not listened to the entire thing. Of the songs I sampled, this was the stand-out.<\/p>\n
“Hum” – The Sheila Divine
\nIt’s been awhile since I shared anything from this (should have been) legendary band from the turn of the millennium.<\/p>\n
