The Pinecones "Sage"

(Just Friends) This collection of great psyche-ish 60s-style songs is like Sgt. Peppers...if there were four Ringos!

Dozens "Cobwebs" ep

(www.myspace.com/dozensband) Here's an oxymoron for ya: the lo fi Steely Dan!

Caw! Caw! "bummer place"

(Trust Tapes) CAW!some!

This Is Peterborough Too!

(Rowdy Farrago) A very odd compilation, as the compiler seems to have no tools to discern between classic punk stylings (Den2def), somewhat interesting 90s style rock (Two Click Wish) and some really really bad bands playing really bad music styles (alternative rock, awful emo, bar band rock from bars you would leave in seconds).

Quief Quota "Waygae"

(Bert Dax Cavalcade of Stars) Not gae enough! Island music...if you live on a traffic Island in Berwyn.

HB3 "Studies for Traps & Piccolo"

(Zegnotropic) If "surfing" to you means tethering a surfboard to the back of a Buick, duct taping some sucker daredevil to the board and then barrelling through some fucked up off-road course, than this would be "surf music."

Names of Stars

(myspace.com/namesofstars) I guess they yearn, or something.

HotChaCha "the world's hardest working telescope & teh violent birth of stars"

(exit stencil) Should change their name to HotterChacha, because these skewed fuzz art jams are burning!

The Qualia "Secret Weapon"

(wtll) This sounds like the perfect pop record, if that perfect pop record somehow had the spindle hole in the center drilled just a hair off-center.

The Syllable Section "Linear Views"

(no label...they're too good for a label!) The Beatles of askew no-fi psyche pleasant cacophony soundscape music!
