ride those WAVVES man.


ok, i know this is everywhere right now, but seriously, if you haven't checked this out, then please please do so now.

this is Wavves, dude. a one man project consisting of 22 year old Nathan Daniel Williams and his 4 track and a bunch of guitars and drums. he plays a brand of surf-rock that is pretty unique in that genre. his songs are fast, snotty, blown the fuck out, noisey, but most of all fun. the thing that strikes me the most is how young this kid is... what were you doing when you were 22?

this is a band i would want to see at a house party in the summer time. definitely my new party album.

this is the tape version of the lp on fuck it / woodsist.

shimmy out and ride those Wavves on home

but really, who doesn't like The Homosexuals?


ah, The Homosexuals. formed originally in 1972, these crazy cats took many cues from garage, surf, glam, and punk rock to create an angular and "arty" sound that went on to influence many a band out there. their sound was fresh and unique for their time period, but by today's standards these songs would sound pretty formula. there's a reason for that: they created the formula. with most songs clocking in around a minute and a half and with ridiculous esoteric lyrics, they were loved by the new-wave and punk crowds alike.

they were also pretty well known for their insane amounts of side-projects and spin off bands, probably about 25 bands in the late 70's and early 80's could be said to have a member of the Homosexuals in their ranks.

this is their collection cd of their lp and a few eps released in 2004 by recommended entitled "The Homosexuals CD." one of my all time favorite songs, "Kiss With Venom," should be put on repeat for a while after you download it.

won't you fall in love with a Homosexual?
