  • 0

With a sense of deja-vu, the first post with the amended, hopefully virus free, new layout consists of links to some essential new releases.

I'll keep it brief because I'm still not finished with all the re-coding of the site, but the following albums are streaming for one week, ahead of their official release dates (October 1st, 2nd).

Flying Lotus, Until the Quiet Comes (via NPR)

The Mountain Goats, Transcendental Youth (via Stereogum)

Why?, Mumps (via FACT magazine)

Dark Dark Dark, Who Needs Who (via The Line of Best Fit)

Slow Thrills Friday mix no1: Wintering Out

  • 0
Yesterday I uploaded the first of my old fanzine's archives to a new site, weedbus.posterous.com, and they will be appearing at the start of every month for most of this year, as a PDF book and a Soundcloud audio stream.
So far this year, Friday has meant Spotify playlist day so, following on from that run, I am introducing our mixcloud into the grand scheme of things. From now on Friday will feature either a playlist OR a guest mix, and to start the ball rolling (and test the systems of course), I have uploaded my own short mix. It is deliberately downbeat and wintry, it is not intended for dancing; a bit like myself a the moment. The mix is embedded below.

The guest mix slot is open to anyone and I have invited a few people so far, but if you feel you can do one please email me at slowthrillsj-blog@yahoo.co.uk for more details. Music-wise I am very openminded but it will have to fit within the broad musical remit of this blog, so go easy on the funk/metal crossover tunes.
