Some good, sorta tweeky quirkpop from Askeleton, whose
new record, The Angry Album -or- Psychic Songs is just out on Goodnight Records.

Of interest, at least to some, Contraphonic will be releasing a
collection of B-sides &c. by New Radiant Storm King, titled Leftover Blues 1991-2003 .

I also noticed over at the contraphonic site that they’ll soon be re-releasing the Wrens/Five Mod Four Split EP
that was previously released just prior to the release of The Meadowlands. Here’s one of the three Wrens tracks from the split; it’s
an oldie-oldie, from 1991.

When the Wrens played here last week, they said they “loved Ohio because the greatest band ever, Brainiac, was
from Ohio.” Also, I’ve been told that I really frightened Wrens guitarman Charles, because when I was talking to
him I was apparently “waving my arms all around like a madman” and “talking in my seven-beers voice”.
