As reported back in December, our dear friends at Joyful Noise Recordings have launched a Flexi-Disc subscription series (one artist per month) featuring all kinds of great artists: Deerhoof, Of Montreal, Tortoise, Jad Fair, Rafter, Danielson, and more. This amazing series has been underway since January, and today we're proud to announce that April is Danielson month! It's a brand new (and EXCLUSIVE) Danielson gem called 'Expectorance'. It comes with all the usual Danielson trimmings, which means general fantasticness. Just click here for the full scoop!

Thanks Thanks!

1961! So Good!!

Yep. "So good!!" has been the word on the street since 1961 was released two weeks ago to eager ears all over the interwebs. Click on the 1961 album cover close-up above to listen, enjoy, download, share, revel. So good!!

Mondays can be tough for a lot of us, but here's a little piece of news that should quicken your step, unfurrow your brow, put a smile on your teeth and throw a silver lining on your clouds. Ortolan, those sweet songbird sisters that charmed our hearts and eardrums with Ortolan EP and Time On A String, have been industriously assembling a big beautiful batch of fantastic new songs. Some may say we're biased, but we don't think so. By any measure, these tunes are somethin' very very special.

To raise the money required to put these sonic delights on to tape and into your ears, Ortolan has launched their first-ever crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo. So raise your fists and voices in the air, rally your troops, mobilize the good folk of the global village, and let's cry 'Power to the people!' So donate and spread the word, and let's get this campaign funded, folks! You'll find your hearts and eardrums charmed once again...guaranteed.

Thanks all, and happy Monday!
