Rennet 7" out soon
A record by Stephen Steinbrink, one of my favorite songwriters, will be re-released on 7”! If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get it. And if you don’t, you should get it anyway.

– Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus | Music | Interview | The A.V. Club Chicago
Arianna Stern did a great job with this interview! I’m glad she asked her about this sort of thing; it takes some guts to get this personal with a subject sometimes.

Minuteflag - S/T EP (Black Flag/Minutemen collab) →
newwestcrew:
At this point, The SST catalog seems to only have two types of records, “classics” (Black Flag, Husker Du, Minutemen, Descendents, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, etc…) and stuff that no one seems to have heard of (Lawndale, Leaving Trains, Tom Troccelli’s Dog, Fatso Jetson etc…). For some reason the Minuteflag EP seems to be to be largely forgotten, or possibly just ignored.

So there was a record show today, and I actually came away with a fairly nice haul. With the exception of one of these records (you can probably guess which), all were priced under five dollars.

Onion AV Club Interview w/Eef Barzelay →
So I post some Clem Snide and, what do you know, the AV Club posts this! Happy reading!
P.S.: Apparently, Eef will write you a song for a mere $200. That’s pocket change for what you’re getting in return, folks! He’s a great tunesmith and a fine lyricist. What are you waiting for?!
