Music from My Mailbox

Time to clean out the inbox again. There was not only a ton of music there, but there was a lot of really good stuff, too. And I don’t necessarily mean to say that like I’m surprised to find good music.

I got a few submissions from Touch and Go Records and every one of them was great – rockin’ stuff. Not only newer stuff like Crystal Antlers, but also punk veterans the Jesus Lizard (who, by the way, will be playing the Pitchfork festival in July if you get a chance to attend).

I got also got a couple of things from people just reaching out after they found my blog. Hemmit and Liquor Boxx came to my attention that way. Both play hard rock in the “classic” mode and I really appreciate them finding me they way they did.

And, as always, there are some songs here that are totally different from what I usually post: Some folksy-type things that I liked, and a couple of remix / hip-hop things.

Give them a listen; you know I wouldn’t intentionally make you listen to something terrible. And, as always, follow the links for more information.
