Face Love Anew

Today, San Francisco's Honey Soundsystem & Berlin's CockTail d'Amore released stereogamus' riiiiiidiculously good debut single, Face Love Anew, and on limited vinyl to boot! Stereogamus' production game is tight & the remixes are both excellent, but Shaun J. Wright's vocals really push it over the edge. You might recognize Shaun as a vocalist for Hercules And Love Affair. Like on the Hercules tracks, he delivers a huge, soulful performance. I rarely say this, but don't sleep - this is going to be huge!

Order the 12" from Dark Entries Records or grab the digital release (with additional remixes from Kim Ann Foxman, Horse Meat Disco, Miracles Club & The Carry Nation) on December 11 from any of the usual outlets.

Holdin' Back Synthetigers Edit

This Synthetigers are back with another burner, and it's one of my personal favorites to date. For edit #17, they reworked Philadelphia's David Simmons, adding a dope intro and extending all the right parts.

Dust My Broom

Jerry Weber, owner of Pittsburgh's Jerry's Records, just found a Robert Johnson 78 that came through his shop. "The holy grail of 78s." I used to go to Jerry's almost every day on my walk home from high school just down the street. One of the greatest all-vinyl stores in the world. Fairly priced, well curated and just all-in-all awesome. Visit if you ever get a chance.
