Following last month's single "Pristine," Snail Mail  released "Heat Wave" today ahead of her debut LP Lush. The video, directed by Brandon Herman, features Lindsey Jordan showing off her high school varsity hockey chops and not-to-be-overlooked air hockey skills to boot.

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - "Refute", #sparklehard quiz/Spotify Playlist Generator (PLUS CENSORED ART)



Prior to May 18's release of their hotly anticipated 'Sparkle Hard', Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks have unveiled another of the album's world-class compositions, "Refute", featuring guest vocals from Kim Gordon. Pressed to explain, Stephen's claimed his intent was to "queer the duet", by playing with “Nashville tropes in light of current trends in evolutionary psychology” and swapping “the classic He Said/She Said narrative, where in this case the ‘wife’ is the cheater, and the omniscient narrator enters at the end to offer cold comfort.”

stream / download "Refute"
preorder / stream 'Sparkle Hard'


In addition, today marks your opportunity to take the STEPHEN MALKMUS & THE JICKS #sparklehard quiz to find out your sparkle level (YES, THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS HERE) and receive a custom @Spotify playlist with original 'Sparkle Hard' album art rejected by Matador’s free-expression phobic legal dept.

Liz Phair - "Bomb: ('Girly-Sound' version), "Stratford On Guy" Video (remastered audio)





(photo by Elizabeth Weinberg)



"Stratford On Guy" (directed by Liz Phair)

Prior to the May 4 release of 'Girly-Sound To Guyville' : The 25th Anniversary Box Set', we've released the remastered audio for "Bomb" (culled from 'Sooty', the third 'Girly-Sound' cassette') as well as premiering Phair's video for "Stratford On Guy" (the song that "Bomb" would eventually morph into) with remastered audio as well (above).

"We were in talks with labels about the second record - Matador was being courted by Atlantic - and Danny Goldberg came backstage to meet me. I told him about my idea for the next video - ‘Stratford-On-Guy’ - explaining that we were stalled due to budget constraints. He asked ‘what do you need?’ I said, ‘a private plane to fly over downtown LA and get footage at night.’ I wanted to shoot the electric veins of the city. He just said, ‘done!’ It was one of those real rock star moments.

So my husband, his friend Michael Mees, who was the DP, and I went up in this 8 seater Lear Jet and got the greatest footage ever. We were literally flying sideways so Michael could shoot straight down over the rooftops of all the buildings. We were executing these tight turns above the skyscrapers and the G force was incredible. You could feel your internal organs dragging to the other side of your body cavity. Michael was using this really heavy camera and Jim, my husband, had to hold onto him as we shot. The lens of the camera was pressing down against the window pane and I remember Michael nervously joking - and not really in jest - that the glass beneath him better hold. It was so fun. We made two approaches into the airport so we could capture that fantastic runway lighting. Those images are etched in my memory forever. I seem to recall I somehow wedged my head up between the pilots like a dog peering over the backseat so I could see that awesome 180* cockpit view, too. Good times!” -
