self-released/Roggbif
[doom metal, black metal, drone, experimental]
MF (59 MB, rip: UAX)
Easily one of the best tapes released in recent memory. I attended these guys' very first live show back in early 2009 (supporting Stephen O'Malley), and they pretty much floored me. Expecting a lot from this band in years to come.

Track from the new Sean McCann LP (Sincere World), to be released on Amethyst Records in early 2011.

Video: Locrian - At Night's End
Here's a track from the excellent new Locrian LP (titled The Crystal World), scheduled to be released on November 27.
Gary War - Police Water EP

Sacred Bones
[synth pop, electronic, experimental]

A swirling mess. I dig it.
Tractor Pulling - Ghost Hungerland 7"

TRACTOR PULLING
Ghost Hungerland / Dynamite Highway 7"
2007
Ektro
[hard rock, garage rock]
MF (14 MB)
Another Circle side project. Doesn't sound much different than Mercedes Hell to me. I'm not sure if these EPs and 7"s are meant as a joke, but I'm enjoying them either way. This also reminds me that I once actually attended a tractor pulling show. Shit was just about as ridiculous as this single.

New Abismo project. This is the sound of someone playing an amazing funeral doom metal record in the room next door. Excellent.

Lower Dens - I Get Nervous/Johnssong 7"

LOWER DENS
I Get Nervous / Johnssong 7"
2010
Gnomonsong
[dream pop, indie rock]
MF (14 MB)
EDIT: Apparently this was "removed from MediaFire for a violation of our Terms of Service". I thought the whole point of singles like this was to help promote the album. So much for free publicity, I suppose.
As an attempt to convince you to go out and buy the quite excellent debut album from Jana Hunter's new project Lower Dens (the album is called Twin-Hand Movement), I give you the lead 7" single, which also happens to be one of my favourites from the album.
Emeralds - Allegory Of Allergies

Ducktails/Rangers - Bored Fortress 7"

DUCKTAILS / RANGERS
Bored Fortress 7"
2010
Not Not Fun
[experimental rock, electronic]
MF (19 MB)
Hoping for a new Rangers tape soon. The song found on this single split (together with Ducktails) follows largely in the same vein as Suburban Tours, which of course was wonderful.

Brise-Cul
[drone, ambient]
MF (90 MB)
Fuck, I know I haven't been posting a lot lately, but I just had to get this one out there as soon as I heard it. Really, really wonderful stuff. You can also download this album here if you want to, and name your own price. The money goes straight to the artist, one Christian Richer. If you like this stuff I strongly encourage you to do just that.

Interiors: The Allure of Style is a book by celebrated Los Angeles decorator, Mary McDonald.
In the book, she inspires readers to combine old-fashioned elegance with the joy of fearless, exuberant decorating. Now in her first book, McDonald explores the themes that inform her stylish sensibility. Exquisitely photographed, this vivid book is a must for anyone who loves sophisticated, ravishing interiors.
I highly recommend everyone has a copy of this book. I think it will make a great Christmas gift, too.
You can purchase the book on Amazon
