Overcoat Heat blew Gala Drop high. Now they have a new album and a collaboration with Ben Chasny, from Six Organs Of Admittance and Comets On Fire, on the way. Rad.

I first came across Insight 51′s Garage Artists t-shirt series not long ago when I stumbled upon the first Guido Crepax tee they put out. Being a Crepax fan, this was a huge one for me. Since then I’ve came to know and follow through them some awesome artists like Julien Langendorff, Madsaki, (fellow Portuguese photographer) Pedro Rodrigues Ramos, and Hisham Akira Bharoocha from Black Dice and Soft Circle fame. Great work, Steve Gorrow.

It’s been almost three weeks since I last saw Tropa Macaca live, and i’m still stunned! After a great record for Siltbreeze (Sensação do Principio) and a European tour with the mighty Blues Control, all back in 2009, the duo went through a two year period of almost no public activity, only to re-emerge now on the eve of what seems to be an amazing new record. This is vibrant music happening now.

Book wise, this is one of this year’s highlights for me. To be able to grab my printed copy of this cosmic-mythological comic book that started as a weekly website feature. Beautifully done by London’s Nobrow Press, this was worth the wait. Jesse Moynihan is a fantastic creator of worlds. Read more

Google recently demonstrated their ability to predict flu outbreaks across America weeks in advance of the outbreaks themselves. It would seem that they are more than just a pretty search engine. And as if that wasn’t enough, they’ve now teamed up with Life Magazine, what was the cornerstone of photojournalism for the Twentieth Century, to digitize 95 per cent of their image bank that never saw the light of day. Now millions of photos stretching from the 1750s to the present day are available on Google Images at the click of a button. Read more
There’s no shortage of bands channeling the surf rock and psych of the 1960s, but the Super Vacations’ sloppy vocals, drunken guitar riffs, and blown out production give them a knowing swagger that has as much in common with Beat Happening and Thee Headcoats as with the Pyramids. They seem to take pride in how bad they are live, but their debut record shows a lot of potential.
