v/a ECCENTRIC SOUL: The Big Mack Label 2xLP
*** NOW ON VINYL!
THE COATHANGERS Shake Shake / Dreamboat 7"
*** "This all girl outfit of vivacious rockers sonically mix a post-punk aesthetic with a sultry edge. Brash melodies that swing gracefully between the soulful and the grit pressed on white vinyl! Includes a coupon for a free digital download of the tracks in mp3 format."
JAY REATARD See/Saw b/w Screaming Hand 7"

((((( NEW ARRIVALS: CDs ))))) Nick Cave, Tapes 'N' Tapes, Colin Meloy, NIN & more
v/a LIVING BRIDGE 2xCD
*** "Nicholas Vernhes of the Rare Book Room (recording studio and now a label too) handpicked this incredibly cohesive double CD compilation from recordings at his studio. Lots of heavy hitters (Avey Tare, Black Dice, Deerhunter etc.) and other like minded folks."
v/a DON'T STOP: RECORDING TAP CD
*** NUMERO GROUP compilation of Jeremiah Yisrael's early-1980s New York disco label culling string-heavy boogie and pioneering raps from the handful of 12"s issued by the label and other rare and unreleased recordings.
THE BREEDERS Mountain Battles CD
*** The brand new album from Ms. KIM DEAL and company. On 4AD.
NICK CAVE Dig, Lazarus, Dig! CD
*** The advance word on this is mighty mighty -- Nick Cave is in top form. One would be a fool not to grab this spectacle.
CLINIC Do It! CD
*** Finally! A divergence from the four or five different record covers Clinic released (it's all the same album -- and what a fine album!), the band is back with more infectious jams.
DEAD CHILD Attack CD
*** A "truly supreme metal masterwork ... full of thundering drums and anthemic riffs" from members of SLINT, TORTOISE, THE FOR CARNATION and more.
THE DUKE SPIRIT Neptune CD
*** NME says "Neptune is choc-a-block with tracks so deadly they could slaughter, not only from 30 paces, but while blindfolded."
ELF POWER In A Cave CD
*** SPIN says "Their harmonious, peaceful vibe is a testament to the band's ELEPHANT 6 heritage."
LIVING LEGENDS The Gathering CD
*** The first album of new material in quite some time.
COLIN MELOY Sings Live! CD
*** "A 14-song set documenting The Decemberists’ lead singer/songwriter’s 2006 solo tour. Touching on material from TARKIO, THE DECEMBERISTS, rarities and new compositions, there are snippets of songs from The Smiths, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, REM and Shirley Collins."
PETER MOREN The Last Tycoon CD
*** "The solo debut from the vocalist of PETER, BJORN and JOHN."
NEW BLOODS The Secret Life CD
*** "Lean, engaging, minimalist punk songs topping out before the three minute mark. There’s some Raincoats vibe, a little Intima, a touch of ESG and Unwound, but with dub, soul, and afro-beat influences it becomes a whole new animal, a refreshing, absorbing, exhilarating living creature, brand-new for a new struggling world."
NINE INCH NAILS Ghosts I-IV CD
*** "Brand new 36 track instrumental collection -- nearly two hours of all new music! 'Soundtracks for daydreams.'"
THE OLD HAUNTS Poisonous Times CD
*** "Olympia, WA garagey punk nestled deep in the roots of the Pacific Northwest punk scene with predecessors such as the Wipers, Sonics and Dead Moon. Comparisons to Television and the Gun Club are not far from the mark although their spooky and razor sharp riffs are all their own."
PANTHER 14 kt God CD
*** "Think Ian Curtis' convulsive intensity and James Browns spastic swagger and you still won't have PANTHER, but a sense of what-the-fuckness that all of them seem to call up. PANTHER landed on bills as varied as opening slots from PEACHES to WOLF EYES."
SPOON Don't You Evah CD
*** Sppon's new single plus a b-side, a video of "Don't You Evah" and remixes by DIPLO, MATTHEW DEAR, DJ AMAZE, TED LEO, and DOC DELAY. 8 tracks total!
TAPES 'N' TAPES Walk It Off CD
*** Less edgy and frenetic than their debut, Tapes 'N' Tapes new album is a bit more pop and epic reading of their style. FREE TAPES 'N' TAPES 7" for the first four customers. Posters and stickers are to be had for all!
THE TEENAGERS Reality Check CD
*** "Expanded North American edition contains bonus tracks."
WAS (NOT WAS) Boo! CD
*** "Are you scared yet? Their first new album new album in almost 20 years. The original band plus special guests WAYNE KRAMER, MARCUS MILLER, BOOKER T. JONES, and KRIS KRISTOFFERSON."
WYE OAK If Children CD
*** "An exuberant and assured debut seamlessly combining elements of noise, folk, and shoegaze to create a style all their own." [Is there a program that writes this stuff?]

((((( NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl ))))) Fugazi, Dirtbombs, NIco, Terrible Twos, & more
v/a CHEDDA EP 12"
*** "Even more club heat from Ayres, Tittsworth & Associates. Do these guys sleep? Included are blends of tracks by PITBULL, BEL BIV DEVOE, DAFT PUNK, and more."
v/a TROPICALIA: Ou Panis Et Circensis LP
*** "Originally released in 1969, this album spearheaded the musical Tropicalia revolution lead by Brazilian legends CAETANO VELOSO and GILBERTO GIL, GAL COSTA, and OS MUTANTES. This album helped land Veloso and Gil a brief stint in jail and eventually in political exile in the UK."
DIRTBOMBS Play Sparks 7"
*** "Detroit's Dirtbombs pay homage to label-mates (and one of their favorite bands) Sparks." Side A: "Sherlock Holmes" Side B: "Nothing To Do"
FUGAZI Furniture 7"
*** "A three-song single including the first-time release of "Furniture," one of the band's oldest numbers. All tracks are exclusive.
SERGE GAINSBOURG Requiem Pour Un Con 12"
*** "Some of the funkiest film music from legend SERGE GAINSBOURG." Includes: "Requiem Pour Un Con," "Psychastenie," "Cadavres En Serie," "No No Yes Yes," "La Horse," "L'Alouette," & bonus beats tracks.
HOWLIN RAIN Magnificent Fiend LP
*** "By turns pummeling and pastoral, Magnificent Fiend oscillates between roaring, all-stops-out, Hammond organ-driven tracks and delicate electric piano passages, topped by harmonized, often dissonant guitar lines, held together by Miller's distinctive, crushed-velvet roar."
JOKERS OF THE SCENE Y'all Know The Name 12"
*** "Canadian selectors-turned-producers JOKERS OF THE SCENE (aka DJ BOOTH & CHAMELEONIC) drop a bomb with a massive club re-work of Pharoahe Monch. This one firmly establishes the JOTS sound: huge build ups, distorted bass and full on rave-age."
KID CUDI Day 'N' Nite 12"
*** "Over a hypnotic instrumental from producer Dot Da Genius, Kid Cudi drops melodic, half-sung flows and a hook that will stay in your brain for weeks. Comes backed with a moody, pulsing club mix by rising electro stars (and Fool's Gold labelmates)."
BARRY LYNN Balancing Lakes 2xLP / CD
*** "BOXCUTTER, under his given name, journeys through tracks dating from 2002-2005, prior to his classic first album Oneiric. UK garage, minimal techno, amen jungle and more."
JUAN MACLEAN Happy House 12"
*** "Happy House is the first evidence of the optimistic and relaxed direction for Juan -- a winning combination of Nancy Whang's effervescent vocals, DFA's production and mixing work, and a brilliant and relentless dance pop anthem co-written by Whang and Maclean." Remix by LEE DOUGLAS.
NICO Chelsea Girl 12"
*** NOW ON VINYL! Reissued by 4 Men With Beards.
OMAR RODRIGUEZ-LOPEZ Apocalypse Inside An Orange 2xLP / CD
*** Further insanity from the brains of MARS VOLTA.
TERRIBLE TWOS Terrible Twos LP
*** The spine-cracking debut LP by Detroit's TERRIBLE TWOS. “Without a doubt, one of the Motor City's best full-length releases in a long time. Almost as if the power and slanted viciousness of their odd angles were as eruptive as an unpredictable volcano, the Terrible Twos really pulled it together into a tight foot-long of furious and erratic punk carnage that will be tough to follow."
TITTSWORTH & AYRES Ultimate T&A 12"
*** "A collection of Baltimore club remixes of funk classics courtesy of DJ AYRES (Jimmy Castor Bunch’s “Go Back”), A-TRAK (Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke”), TITTSWORTH (Ray Charles’ “Georiga” and EW&F’s “September”), DJ ELI (James Brown’s “Papa”), and BAMABOUNCE (Minnie Ripperton’s “Lovin’ You”)."

v/a BARRY 7'S CONNECTORS Vol. 2 CD
*** RECOMMENDED A top notch collection of previously unreleased Italian soundtrack gems, including tracks from ENNIO MORRICONE, GIUSEPPE DE LUCA, GIAMPERO BONESCHI among others. Sincerely from us at Wazoo: a must have. Grab it before it goes back out of print.

DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN Ire Works CD
*** New album!
DOUBTFUL GUEST Acid Sauna CD
*** "Gone are the electro party jams, gone is the funky squiggle. This dark, suffocating stuff is full of nightmares and claustrophobic details that send shivers up one's spine. References include Coil, Marc Acardipane, Scott Brown, and Neophyte."
FAIRPORT CONVENTION What We Did On Our Holiday CD
*** "Fairport Convention 2nd album, released in 1969, is the first to feature the beautifully haunting vocals of the legendary Sandy Denny. Some of the Fairport Convention's finest moments, many consider this lineup to be the finest in the Fairport's long and varied career."
JACKIE GREEN Giving Up The Ghost CD
*** New album!
BARRY LYNN Balancing Lakes 2xLP / CD
*** "BOXCUTTER, under his given name, journeys through tracks dating from 2002-2005, prior to his classic first album Oneiric. UK garage, minimal techno, amen jungle and more."
VAN MORRISON Keep It Simple CD
*** He's back and he's bald! Of course, that has nothing to do with music (although I suppose it might inform it in a way), this is Van Morrison, so it's great.
KELLEY POLAR I Need You To Hold On CD
*** "A unique, strange and beautiful collection of songs that somehow, by accident or design, remains utterly accessible. In other words: outsider pop. Fantastic rhythms and infectious basslines are not excluded from Polar’s tapestry. Mixed by MORGAN GEIST (Metro Area)."
REM Accelerate CD
*** "First studio album in 4 years."
OMAR RODRIGUEZ-LOPEZ Apocalypse Inside An Orange 2xLP / CD
*** Further insanity from the brains of MARS VOLTA.

VALET Naked Acid CD
*** "Naked Acid is the second solo release from Portland artist Valet, aka Honey Owens Inspired by the Pacific Northwest landscape, semi-conscious dream states and the idea of one's dna code being accessed as eternal memory. Naked Acid is a fever dream of ghostly incantation and smudged psychedelia."
WHY? Alopecia LP / CD
*** Former CLOUDDEAD avant hip-hopper is at his most ::cough:: "indie pop" -- a marvelous and lushly-constructed album.
