WE BUY WHITE ALBUMS
Posted By Jason – 20.02.2013
This is awesome: artist Rutherford Chang has put together a record store that only stocks the Beatle’s White Albums. You can’t actually buy any of the White Albums on display, but Rutherford will buy your copy of the White Album if you bring it in to the store/gallery–provided it’s a first pressing (there were over 3 million White Albums in its first release). You’re invited to peruse the various White Albums like you would at an actual record store. You can even listen to them. At the shows end Rutherford will repress a new White Album that digitally cobbles together all the ones from the show… I don’t know he’s going to do that but it should be cool.
On now at Recess until March 7. 41 Grand St. NYC

The Wolf of Wall Street
Posted By Richard - 17.06.2013
Coming this November, The Wolf of Wall Street is Martin Scorsese’s latest film depicting the true story of Jordan Belfort’s high profile lifestyle including women, drugs, partying, fast cars and more money than he knew what to do with. “The year I turned 26, I made $49 million, which really pissed me off because it was three shy of $1 million a week”.

GOOD NEW MUSIC: Surfer Blood
Posted By Erin - 17.06.2013
Today I made a list of awesome things that happened last week. In backwards order, it reads:
4. Got a sink-sized tub of blueberries from Costco
3. Got a two-pack of Nutella from Costco
2. Got a new TV from Costco
1. Surfer Blood's new album Pythons came out.
Pythons is a great album. I've been told by numerous friends that it sounds like Weezer, so if you're a Weezer fan, you'll love this! Except, I never got into Weezer and I still love it, so you're kind of covered either way. I actually think this album sounds how Blink 182 could have sounded like if they had more musical talent and sang through their mouths instead of nostrils.
I'll let you decide for yourself, but the best tracks here are album opener 'Demon Dance' and 'Squeezing Blood', though the whole album is packed with catchy hooks and super meaty badass guitar riffs. If the uncontested greatest Nintendo game of all time, California Games, was re-released, I think this would be the soundtrack. I could jump the shit out of banana skins while rollerskating to this album.
What is really clear throughout Pythons is the Florida four-piece's profound understanding and precise execution of 'the chorus'. Surfer Blood masters the art of the chorus - everything leads to there, and when it arrives, you know it. And once you get a taste, you know you'll be back for more. After 9 solid tracks of head nodding, shoulder popping, surface tapping and weird behind closed doors neck jerking, 'Prom Song' sends you off on a more refined note before letting it all hang out at the end. Kind of like how a shark quietly approaches a surfer, then locks it's jaws around them, then really lets loose. Also, blood.
Thanks for making a week of stellar Costco purchases even better, Surfer Blood! (sick name, by the way.)
