My Idea of Fun

Sun Araw - Live at Passos Manuel Porto, Portugal 04.11.2010

Last week, Ash Tapes released a live recording of Sun Araw in Portugal. It's got all the hits and what might be two new songs.

The best part is Ash Tapes is giving it away for free, you can download it here or here.

Sun Araw also has a new tape out on Hustle Muscle called Major Grotto, that's the artwork down below. I haven't been able to come across a Hustle Muscle website and it also looks like it's sold out. However there are several places online where you can download the tracks, including iTunes and Midheaven Mailorder.

Matrix Metals - So Unreal Instrumentals

I'm excited to finally have a reason to post this video. As you may know, LA Vampires and Matrix Metals are about to come out with a record together called So Unreal on Not Not Fun any day now. That's the video for the first single, "Make Me Over" above.You may have heard it on the Roberto Clemente Rookie Card radio show earlier today.

Something you else may have heard for the first time today was the addition of some zoned new tracks underneath my voice between songs. Those tracks were none other than the Matrix Metals portion of So Unreal. How awesome.

I'm diggin' on this just like I would any other smoke-filled car ride to the party where you'll have more fun than everybody else.

This is the music from LA Vampires/Matrix Metals - So Unreal 

Technological Epidemic - Hollow Cost -- Coming Soon

The My Idea of Fun website just announced it's next release will be a new one from Technological Epidemic called Hollow Cost. Really looking forward to this. There aren't any tracks floating around out there, but two weeks ago Christopher S. Bell posted the following demo on My Idea of Fun 101 with the heading "The Last Song I'll Write Before I Turn 25 --".

Check out that final song below:

The Last Song I'll Write Before I Turn 25 --

And while you're at it, get your hands on Technological Epidemic's most recent record "Promotionally Yours" which you can download for free at My Idea of Fun, it comes with a .pdf of the 20+ page book you receive with the physical release.

Rangers - "Zombies"

Definitely couldn't miss this one, a new Rangers song came out last week. It's called "Zombies" and apparently it's part of a forthcoming release. I was turned onto the song from Friendship Bracelet who conveniently alludes to another Rangers release, a split with Ducktails. I'd encourage you to check that FBUS link to see what I'm talking about.

In any case, check out the new track right here:

Go ahead and check out that track again and then go download the digital single from My Idea of Fun.

OESB: New James Ferraro and Outer Limits Recordings

First of all James Ferraro is coming out with a brand new LP on Olde English Spelling Bee on November 15th. It's called Night Dolls With Hairspray and that's the artwork above.

Here's a rad promo video that was posted on the Olde English Spelling Bee blog for the album.




Next, if you've been listening to the radio show, you already know how much I dig all of the Outer Limits Recordings stuff floating around out there. While most of the songs featured in videos from OLRTV are now being released as 7''s, Olde English Spelling Bee was nice enough to post the following streams of some of the mastered tracks.

  OUTER LIMITS RECORDINGS "JULIE" by OESB

  OUTER LIMITS RECORDINGS "PLASTIK CHILD" by OESB

  OUTER LIMITS RECORDINGS "I NEED MY T.V." by OESB

  OUTER LIMITS RECORDINGS (aka THE SWEETHEARTS) "BURNIN' THROUGH THE NITE" by OESB

  OUTER LIMITS RECORDINGS - SUGAR PIE (DEMO) by OESB 

Here's another Outer Limits Recording track that's been in constant rotation for me too, it was featured on the Rose Quartz x Zak Mering Look Out Look Out Mix earlier this fall.

Outer Limits Recordings - I'm an Alien

- mp3 via Weekly Tapedeck

It's exciting to have all these tracks on hand like this, I've been really into everything coming out of OLR. Looking forward to what's next.
