If Chuck Norris and Sebadoh had a reissue-off, Chuck Norris would win because he is able to digest food and breakdown macro-molecules of matrix cells and regurgitate reiussues and new material for any band.

Barsuk records signed UK artist Jim Noir in May. His new album is scheduled for release in August and here is what Barsuk have to say about it:

“Tower of Love is chock full of pop songs with great harmonies and a decidedly ’60s-style psychedelia influence — think Beach Boys, Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles, early Pink Floyd, ELO and a dash of Super Furry Animals.”

But was it all that simple? The facts seemed so confusing. Yet, they knew the time had come…

London’s wacky band, Art Brut were named after French painter Jean Debuffet’s definition of outsider art. “Art by prisoners, loners, the mentally ill, and other marginalized people, and made without thought to imitation or presentation.” That sounds about right. Here’s an Art Brut (aka: some of the best named rockstars in the world: Eddie Argos, Chris Chinchilla, Ian Catskilkin, Frederica Feedback and Mike) track called “Good Weekend”.

OCD International HQ

Rob Sonic sat around the OCD HQ with a cup of coffee in front of him, As he slowly poured a healthy serving of whiskey into it, he looked around him. Mike Relmn, Gray Kid, along with OCD staff sat to his left while on monitors to his right were the people of the Money Fight, Cassettes Won’t Listen and Kid Loco (whose transmission looked smoky at best.) All Rob could think was, “how the fuck did I get into this?”
