For those of you that pre-ordered J Mascis‘ “Tied To A Star” directly through SubPop have been able to stream the album for a while but now NPR, Exclaim and NME have stepped up to scratch the itch everyone else had to hear these new tracks.

For those in the US, you can stream the whole album at at NPR and those in the UK & Europe can stream the album at NME. For those of you in Canada, look to Exclaim for your fix!

Are you gonna wait for the physical release before listening or give in now?  I’m not gonna lie, heavy repeat is happening right now over here.

Once you give it a virtual spin I’d be interested in hearing what you think!

Sweet Apple - Let's Take The Same Plane

New video for Sweet Apple’s “Let’s Take The Same Plane”

News

Dangerous Minds premiered the new video for Sweet Apple’s “Let’s Take The Same Plane“.

Directed by John Petkovic, “Let’s Take The Same Plane” finds us out in a kayak in lovely San Pedro along with Mike Watt who was also featured in the video “Wish You Could Stay (A Little Longer)“.  It is easy to see why Watt spends so much time out there on the water! Watt released a book of his photography titled On and Off Bass a couple years back and a lot of it was from these types of treks.
This is the third video from the fantastic album The Golden Age of Glitter and features Rachel Haden and Mark Lanegan on vocals.

Earthless Meets Heavy Blanket In A Dutch Haze

Earthless Meets Heavy Blanket – In a Dutch Haze

Live Video, News

The fine folks at Outer Battery Records have announced a new release called Earthless Meets Heavy Blanket – In a Dutch Haze will be released on July 8th 2014. This recording captures a live set that was billed as Heavy Jam at Roadburn 2012. J Mascis,  Mario Rubalcaba (drums – Earthless), Mike Eginton (bass – Earthless) and Graham Clise (guitar – Witch / Lecherous Gaze / Sweet Apple) joined forces for a brutal live psychedelic jam that took absolutely no prisoners. While fan recordings have surfaced this will be the first time a soundboard recording of this has been made available in its entirety.


This is a 24 track recording of the whole set that is almost a full hour of shredding. Earthless Meets Heavy Blanket – In a Dutch Haze will be available as a CD, Double LP (in 2 different colors) or digitally.  The artwork was done by the very talented Tim Lehi.

You can order it at Outer Battery Records

Promo Video

You can watch almost the whole gig in the video archives along with the Witch set from the festival as well..

They played “Freak Scene” last night going into the first outro. Too bad they did not take the opportunity to have J play one of his new songs from Tied To A Star, even if it was made available as a web only video!
