Some new things you definitely should be aware of

There's a couple things to be aware of this week. Well there's things to be aware of every week, but this particular week, there are two new records that I was anticipating quite a lot. First off is Celestial's Skipping Stones debut Dream On, and it sounds like, well, Celestial. The MP3 that fine folks of Skipping Stones have provided is quite a treat, just as I'd expected it to be. It's a lazy, hazy pop song with the perfect balance of jangle and, of course, shoegazey guitar. Fans of MBV's Ecstasy and Wine era or the Jesus and Mary Chain's softer moments would do well to listen to this immediately.

Next up is the equally awesome
Liechtenstein, with their very first 7". The additon of Liechtenstein's Stalking Skills 7" makes this now THREE amazingly great Fraction Discs releases in a row. I'm so glad they decided to start a label. Anyway, I've mentioned Liechtenstein here before and gushed about how much I love them, so if you're interested in reading that again, here you go. But, just to reiterate how badly you need to go pick this up, here's "Stalking Skills," again. For fans of the TVPs, Dolly Mixture, Shop Assistants, you get it...

ALSO! I meant to mention the brand new(!) Bottle Rocket zine when I got the first issue in the mail a week or so ago, but better late than never! The first issue was great and had a pretty sweet Tullycraft interview, but apparently Katy has been hard at work and issue two is already done! The second issue includes interviews with Tender Trap, Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records, and Camera Shy, as well as many other good things! Go

Hey Matt, just wanted to let you know that Skatterbrain is the best blog on the Internet. Don't let it go to your indiepop head, though.

I don't know if you know about it, (indieclick might not directly tell you about what is advertised on your site), but they are advertising for aime street. I would highly recommend the site for legal DRM free songs. The system they have going is very ingenious and has a ton of potential. Check it out at : http://amiestreet.com/ and if you want to sign up and 'help a brotha out' you can do it through this link and give me some REC's to use. (here)
-sorry for the double post
