get it straight pt. 1

the new lobsterbucket gimmick 'get it straight' will help you, the reader, to discern between bands with similar names. in part 1 we will explore variants of the word 'weekend.'


blogged about two or three entries ago, really good lo-fi band out of california. i was sort of under the impression that california 'isn't cool anymore' because of its history of 'coolness.' but who knows. mexican summer is a great label, maybe they'll 'make it' or whatever it is that bands try to accomplish today.

from their blog:
"Our main man Sahil over at Transparent likens us to the best dope on the streets – with Mexican Summer being that shady guy in the Kangol Hat and Ed Hardy sweatsuit that you hate buying from yet never fails to get you lit and face down in a gutter. Thanks Transparent!"

so just check the video in previous entry if you're curious.


from my hometown (baltimore). i like their song 'raingirls,' i've heard that their live shows are really noisy. they are friends of wham city/dan deacon/future islands; i guess they deserve to be listened to.

amateur video:



apparently there's also some shittie warpedtouresque band called 'the weakend' that exists/existed, but after five seconds of listening i gave up.

in other news:
'whiplash' by sunglasses. also, i really dig beach house's new album. sorry that i can't embend songs straight into this blog, i have no idea how to do that.
