Sunday Miscellany: Rocket Bureau, RiceCrackers, Tomiji, Lumps, Averkiou, Dripping Wet

Hope these get your pieholes quarter-moon-shaped. Sappy Habbath.


We're glad this Madisonian alerted us to his silo of freebies at Bandcamp.


Another fun email headsup. Boston band claims to be "all Asian," although chanteuse Olivia West admits guitarist Huxley is a half-Russian Caucasian who lived in Singapore. But who cares, the music drives cleverly and reminds us of no grandmother we've ever known.


This chanson parisienne can be freely downloaded here.

Our favorite from a 20-song compilation by King Pizza Records.


Yes, another to love from the Gainsville band.


These Denton jangleurs almost (but not quite) make us proud to be Tetsuns. We best like #s 1, 3, and 5.

Still Afloat at SoundCloud: Dead Parties, Colored Lights, Funeral Advantage, Averkiou, King Kartel, Tusks

We've struggled through the week regretting we hadn't shared with you all we'd recently found at SoundCloud. So let us try and make partial amends with a baker's handful of songs we're loving. This still isn't all we've found there, so the struggle continues.

That previous one we posted by these Barcelonaussie charmerchimers is still downloadable here.

Freely download the Norsemen's song here.

Face off with the Beantown band here.

We recently posted some seven-year old songs by this Gainesville group 

with the unpronounceable name. This younger song is downloadable here.

We also posted one previously by this Manchester band, and it's still here!!!

Visit the excellent Brighton band here.
Update: They seem to have negated its freebietude. Usually 
we respond in kind, but what the Hades, let it stand.

Findings: Bishops, Averkiou, Levitation Room, Ballard, In Her Eye, Lindberg Hotel

Here are a few recent finds we're loving and you might.

We also especially like #s 2 & 3 on this comp from Twin Cousins Records. More The Rozwell Kid here and The Warm Fuzzies here.

We don't have the foggiest how the Gainesville band pronounces their name, but #5 also plunks our twanger.

We've been rooming with them for a couple of months now and float blissfully. We also very much like #s 15 & 16 on this comp from The Psychedelic Underground Foundation.

It's always good to hear from Britbud "Ballard," aka "Darren." Song #1 was the main one we wanted to post, but Bandcamp took over and put #3 first. #5 is quite naughty. More excelentes here.

We've been on this Ride for a long, long time, now, and this tribute comp from The Blog That Celebrates Itself is well-deserved. Our other favorites are #s 1 & 11. Do we rue the lack of all-time fave "Twisterella?" Not necessarily.

We're pretty sure whose Fanclub these hoteliers are in.
