It’s time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not had a chance to post. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix.
You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR you can just download any or all of the tracks at your leisure and play them using a digital media player of your choice.
These are just a few of the songs that would get their own individual posts here on GIMME TINNITUS, if I only had the time. Listen.
And if you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers (or your local independent record store):
Also, If you want to download all (or most of) the tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions.
r: Hard to say… I was thinking about this the other day, I’ve been vegan most of my life, and one really cool bi-product of that is that it has made me really appreciate food on a very basic level. When I was a kid, i LOVED junk food as much as any other kid. Now I put a piece of spinach in my mouth and it explodes. I think it’s just training your palette. That being said, Vietnamese food blows my mind, particularly bánh mì chay.
r: Hard question! Boredoms, especially while playing in Boadrum with them. No Age is always great. Ponytail“>Ponytail! Ponytail“>Liars are amazing live. My new local fave is Sun Araw. Its like chopped and screwed Spacemen 3. All time fave? Cro-mags circa late 80′s.
q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?
m: Uncle Paulie’s was cool while it lasted. I mean, it was kind of terrible as far as acoustics and the bathroom and stuff, but there were a lot of cool shows there.
r: We live in LA now, but being that we are from NYC: Cinders Gallery. Dead Herring house is rad too. If it isn’t too hot, Death by Audio. Playing the New Museum, the Kitchen, and the Guggenheim was pretty amazing though, just as far as cool rooms. In LA: the Smell. Ooga Booga. Echo Curio is rad, but we have never played there.
q: OK, President Obama appoints you as the first Secretary of Culture, to whom do you give your first grant?
m: My sister Laura. She’s a writer, and I’m dying for her to write a novel.
r: We are more like the Secretaries of Keeping It Real. The Smell, hands down. I’d also like to see Chris Johanson get to build a town someday.
q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?
m: Our sophomore album High Places vs. Mankind is about to be released on Thrill Jockey in March!
r: New EP somewhere around there as well, but a digital single will happen before that. Lots of touring!

NJ’s own Titus Andronicus have a new album which they are calling The Monitor. It will be released by XL Recordings on March 9th (the 148th anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads). The record is a “sort of” concept album about how the Civil War is not really over (maybe). It features guest appearances from members of Ponytail, Wye Oak, Vivian Girls, and The Hold Steady. The folks at Beggars cut the track “Four Score And Seven” into two parts for a double A side 7” which comes out on Feb 9th.
