Nirvana - Oh the Guilt

From their 1992 split w/ The Jesus Lizard, their first release after Nevermind. From its opening lighter clicks to its closing wails, I love the rough and tumble of this song. Listen to them chunky drums! So chunky!

Pitchfork: Local Natives Sign to Frenchkiss

Pitchfork: Local Natives Sign to Frenchkiss:

Nice! Local Natives blew me away on this past summer’s Daytrotter Barnstormer, and they were super-decent folks to boot. Their new album is on sale now in Europe via Rough Trade, but at least now it will see a US release in the spring. Frenchkiss is on my shit list ever since I picked up that Cut Off Your Hands record and the mp3 downloads wouldn’t work and nobody from the band, the label, or the online music service would respond to emails, but maybe this redeems them a little bit.

“In just one try, he struck the perfect balance between burnt-sugar goodness and porcine umami. The first thing your mouth registers is something akin to saltwater taffy. Then you’re treated to the gustatory equivalent of the aroma of your favorite butcher shop: meaty fattiness. Next, waves of buttery sweetness alternating with a hint of salt and the smokiness of bacon.”

Jawbox - Breathe
(For Your Own Special Sweetheart)

Just a reminder of sorts that Dischord and Desoto have remastered and have just re-released (today/tomorrow) one of my favorite 90s records, Jawbox’s “For Your Own Special Sweatheart.” (embedded audio is not from the new re-release)

And boy what a nice job they’ve done. Listen to the stream here. I don’t always buy into the remaster/re-release/cash-in game, but this version of the record sounds AMAZING. This is how DeSoto puts it:

The result is a pretty meaty version of the record, with Zach’s drums and Kim’s bass getting a thorough re-write, while the guitars enjoy a sprinkling of what ended up being somewhat shallow mid-range in the original. We’ve spiced up the re-release with the addition of 3 tracks formerly only available on the Savory+3 EP: “68,” “L’il Shaver,” and a cover of the Big Boys’ classic, “Sound on Sound.” I believe that barring any random pirated versions available online, this will be the only place you can get the original recordings of these tracks.

And perhaps more exciting news? Jawbox is reuniting on Jimmy Fallon on December 8! Sharpie on the forearm, brothers!

And will there be a tour? In Billboard, Kim Colletta refers to the Fallon performance as “an easy way to test the waters” for a reunion tour, to see if it’s “still fun to play together.” But wait! In an interview in October, J. Robbins said a reunion tour wasn’t going to happen because he doesn’t want to do it “half-assed” and they don’t really have the time to do it right. GOOD COP BAD COP.

Anyway, buy the record directly from Dischord or download (pre-order for tomorrow) from iTunes.
