Juana Molina mp3’s and Tour

| USOUNDS

Juana Molina’s new album, Son will be released worldwide June 6th on Domino Records. (Not to be confused with the outrageous cross-dressing blockbuster hit/greatest basketball movie of all time, “Juwanna Mann.”) Son utilizes keyboards, gongs, cymbals, bombo legüero, bass and air wood block. Air wood block is especially interesting on albums because you can’t really see or hear it, yet it’s comforting to know it’s there. Check out the following mp3’s sent by our pals at Domino Records: Micael, Malherido, and No Seas Antipática.

On Tour with José Gonzaléz and Psapp:
June 16 – Los Angeles, CA – El Rey Theater
June 17 – San Francisco, CA – Bimbo’s

The Return of Dr. Octagon – Remix Campaign Week 1

| USOUNDS

Remember when Dr. Dooom murdered Dr. Octagon seven years ago on the opening track to Dooom’s First Come First Served? And remember how this catastrophic event caused the closure of Dr. O’s office in the Bronx and all of his patients were totally hosed because they were in serious need of rectal rebuilding and some of them needed turtles removed from their uteruses?

Well, the mf’in doctor is back. Somehow an mp3 surfaced at OCD International, and here is Mike Relm’s 20 minute Return of Dr. Octagon megamix. Stay tuned for more segments of this amazing 8 week long story and new interpretations of Dr. Octagon tracks by Prefuse 73, Kid Loco, Her Space Holiday, Rob Sonic, Skinny Man and more!

The Return of Dr. Octagon hits stores June 25th.

The Stills mp3 Review by Chaz Bartok

| USOUNDS

So I was feeling kinda down, just kinda shut out from the scene, waking up in my ‘am disoriented and not really caring how or why. Driving aimlessly around town, sucking on the built-in bong, t-topped air swishing my mane this way and that and just not knowing what to do with myself. That kind of mood. I cruised by the beach in Santa Monica and popped in a tape of an mp3 of the first song from the new album by The Stills. I got a rush from the opener but things kinda slid downhill from there and I didn’t feel any better. That’s when I remembered the emergency flask of Canadian Mist in the glovebox. At least something from Canadia got me feeling a little better that day. Anyway, you may have more luck then me, there is a lot to like in this song but it didn’t blow the socks off my ass.
