The Lacking Permanence

Fail to properly assess the infectious potential of La Femme at your own peril.

Be grateful for Attic Ted, lurking above your bedroom and keeping the miscellaneous critters in line.

Every ten years or so, this late-Tuesday gig lands on Christmas Eve, and it’s about the right frequency to dust off and update the Organization’s Twisted Xmas playlist, two hours of familiar yet unexpected holiday-season music. The Final Hour, for all intents and purposes, remained its usual cheer-free self, you’ll be glad to hear.

The fourth aggregation of musical replicas and facsimiles!

Do not be intimidated by their size, or their nudity — Naked Giants are just here to have a rocking good time.

Headstrong and filled with boundless energy, Goat bring you a world full of hypnorhythms.

If you're unsure of where you are and need to be put in your place quick, consult Amyl and the Sniffers.

It’s fitting to receive instruction from Art Brut on how the whole band thing works. Rumor has it there’s new music on the way, and I could not be more excited.

Gather your sins and bring them to Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.

The end of the year slide has commenced, and things feel somewhat lackadaisical, but there’s still a huge backlog of new music to get through. Among the highlights is a new album from Amyl and the Sniffers, which contains lots of great stuff the FCC would frown on, but I was able to find one track that required minimal editing for compatibility.
