BJ Rubin’s blog of his audio archiving activities is just flat out awesome. Furthermore, we look forward to more interesting releases from his record label, Dick Move. This years’ releases include recordings by Knyfe Hyts and Teengirl Fantasy plus let’s not forget the sandwich.

UPDATE: totally forgot to add an honorable mention for these fine blogs.

All Of The Other Songs Remixed (cardboard mp3) by Trey Told ‘Em

- Have you heard the sampler Matador dropped of the new Sonic Youth? It sounds like we have some reason to get excited. Take a listen: The Eternal Montage (matador mp3)

- Looks like mp3+crazyphotoblawg Fuck You On Friday has rebranded itself “——” or molasuperpoco. Check out their leak of the new PJ Harvey & John Parish track, Black Hearted Love… here.

- It’s punk rock meets Steve Reich over @ Cardboard Records. Listen to an excerpt of Ecstatic Sunshine: Perrier (cardboard mp3) and while you are at it why not listen to some Steve Reich: Music for 18 Musicians (opening thru section II) (mp3)

- According to Raven Sings The Blues, OH rockers El Jesus De Magico have entered Amon Düül psychic noise jam territory and that is a very good thing indeed… here.

- Swan Fungus posts Negativland’s awesome U2-sampling Cassey Casum-dissing masterpiece, U2… here.

- The blog named Pukekos focuses on posting primarily out of print 7″s. Well for their one year anniversary, blogger BJ Rubin (presently of Puttin’ On The Ritz) posted all the material from his first band The Angel Assassins… here. Listen: I Wish I Could Say I Was Drunk (mp3)

- BJ also reports…

On 4/20 Dick Move will be releasing the debut record by Knyfe Hyts — Screming Lov b/w We Go Wanderin’. The 12″ will be available (pretty much exclusively) at their record release show in the Monster Island Basement that evening, and it will be available for free download through Pukekos for 100 hours starting that morning. We are very excited to present this record as we approved the test presses earlier in the week (they sound great!) and Zach is doing a three colour silk screen for the cover. I will be selling it at the show and handwriting each person’s name on it as they purchase it so it will be a personalized memento of the evening.

Nice.
