So Many Things to Spend Money On
At the end of last year, I was wondering which records I was looking forward to in 2013. Maybe it was a sluggishness of mind brought on by the holidays, but I honestly had trouble thinking of anything. Then, today, a whole bunch of interesting stuff arrived at the record store. Well, as usual, it didn't actually arrive at my local record store; but we knew that already.
California X, California X -- Guitar-heavy sludge punk from Amherst, MA. How could I say no?
Christopher Owens, Lysandre -- First solo effort from the former Girls frontman.
Parquet Courts, Light Up Gold (really the second release for this record) -- Jangly pop post-punk. Or is it post pop-punk?
Free Energy, Love Sign -- Power pop from The City of Brotherly Love.
And of course...
Yo La Tengo, Fade -- Pre-ordered this one from Matador and wrote it up for Speak Into My Good Eye.
Maybe you actually live near a record store that will have some or all of these. If not, they should be available in all the usual places. It's gonna be a good year.
