Recent & -ish Finds by The Sunchymes, The Kundalini Genie, Coywolf, Diamond Hands, The Hungry Onions, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, Pseudonym, et. al. . . .

Here are a few recent and not-so-recent finds, most of which are available for either free or name-your-price download. In fact, that's the order (more or less) in which they're posted, so those of you looking for retro action might want to scroll way down.

The Sunchymes


Just got the above in an email yesterday. We've been enjoying these UK charmers/chymers for several years now, including this fairly recent EP we shoulda but didna post. Each song's a winner.



The Kundalini Genie & Coywolf


We also very much enjoyed #s 10, 14, & 17. The last of these is by Oakland band, Coywolf, a bunch of whose songs we bought at Bandcamp, including #17 itself ("Star Drool"). So how does this make us feel, after plunking down hard-earned and then finding it available for free? Good. Really good. So here's one we bought.



Diamond Hands


We also love #s 7 & 10 from the L.A. band's latest (released 9feb18), not to mention (but we will) this previously posted favorite from their 2016 debut.



The Hungry Onions


Also recommended: #s 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, & 11. We found this Austin band among some recent purchases by a guy we follow over at Bandcamp. He had bought goodstuff from their 16feb18 LP, She's a Mod, which we intend to do as well. Here's one we intend to buy. (The others are #s 1, 6, 7, 9, & 10.)



Frankie and the Witch Fingers


We simply cannot believe this L.A. faveband's whole LP is available for nypdl at Bandcamp, especially after having spent money on some of it previously. (How does that make us feel? Take a guess.) The song featured above was one we bought. The previously posted song below was one of our favorites from 2016. It's a beautiful world, maaan.


We also especially liked #s 4, 8, & 13.

Pseudonym

Name-Your-Price Download here

This San Francisco band's 2017 LP Pack of Lies was one of our very favorites of that year, and a couple of its songs were on our 2017 Powerpopulist Faves playlist. Rooting around in their Bandcamp Discography turned up more entertainment, including the song above and, #s 1 & 2 below.



Okay, we're wimps and we're tired, so TTFN. We'll be back with more, promise?

From The Active Listener Sampler 41: Frankie and the Witch Fingers, Diamond Incarnation, The Creatures of the Golden Dawn, Psychic Lemon

Well, it's another month (it always is . . . eventually) and therefore another top-notch compilation from the top-notch blog/daily fix known as The Active Listener. Spotlighted below are our four favorites, but within each widget is each of the seventeen mindblowers in this 41st sampler. ( When we saw that number, we felt a flicker of farback flummox. For some reason, in one phase of our wasted youth, we and our fellow dingbats always used to smirk nastily at the number 41. Like if your P.E. shorts were number "41," everyone else would smirk while you (we) blushed. Never actually figured out why, but we smirked (and blushed) with the best (or worst) of 'em. When we moved to a bigger city we never encountered this particular numerical taboo again (although "maturity" put us in touch with other, rather pleasurable, ones.))
