Deep Sleepover (Mike from Sunset Rubdown)

Mike from Sunset Rubdown has a solo project called Deep Sleepover, it's dope. He has four songs on the MySpace. Arlen Thompson plays saxophone Downtown Clown. The other three songs are called Tail of a Liar, Through and Through and True Blue. They're much more mellow than Sunset Rubdown but they're awesome.

Download the four awesome songs though I wish I could tell you to buy them.

02. Snakes On The Ladder
03. Cannot Get Started

The Northwest Man - Fire Chords

From out of a mysterious Alabamian swamp emerges simply VIBRATIONS, slathered with IcyHot, called The Northwest Man. Fire Chords, his third release, removes his youthful pondslime with hard pumice, leaving reddening abrasions in their place. The songs are full of first kisses and teenage dreamery under a layer of burlap.

It sounds like Spencer Krug and a casio up an octave. It's fucking rad.

The Northwest Man is Brett Mattox. He is also in the band The Whiskers.

1. Intro
2. Dirt Our Beds
3. Broken Head
4. Is Dumb
5. Run Away
6. Joyful Song of Death
7. Mind's Heart
8. Matinee
9. Ummmm, This May Hurt Your Ears
10. Motion
11. Troll

it can all be heard on VIRB or you can DOWNLOAD IT!

Much much much much more music can be heard on:

Th' Corn Gangg

From Pitchfork -
C'mon, you know you missed 'em. Th' Corn Gangg, whose creative spellings serve to remind that they give fuck-all about what you think, have revealed plans to take their thangg to the next level.

Th' Gangg, as you may recall, features current and former members of Islands and the Unicorns rocking out while underground MC chums like Busdriver and Subtitle spit game over the riffs. While there were live gigs and chatter about an album a few years back, nothing really materialized. But now, according to a MySpace post from Gangg-banger Jamie Thompson (who also records as Small Is Beautiful), the Gangg is primed to spring back into action.

Wrote Jamie, "My former co-conspirateur in the unicorns/islands Nick Thorburn and myself are hard at work on the long talked about, much rumoured corn gangg project. We have honest-to-goodness songs in the can and are building up our roster of rapper friends. We should be releasing the debut ep sooner than you think."

First though, they'll dump the name. "We are considering changing the name to 'the G-whizards' AKA 'the Whizz Kids'. We'll decide later." Clearly nomenclature is not these fellows' forte.

Thorburn confirmed the news via email, and also shed some light on, yep, more side project action. In addition to the previously mentioned Juiced Elfers thing with Les Savy Fav's Syd Butler and a former member of AIDS Wolf, and the previously mentioned Reefer thing with Daddy Kev, he now has a thing called Human Highway with sometime Island and ex-Royal City mayor Jim Guthrie.

Human Highway have recorded their debut LP, Moody Motorcycle; they've yet to mix and are still looking for a label. Described Thorburn, "It's largely acoustic with rich harmonies, kinda-sorta-sometimes reminiscent of the everly brothers, orbison, sam cooke. garfunkel and simon." Good company, that.

Thorburn's also doing a comic book, mixing the next Islands record in Los Angeles with Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith), and hoarding "an album's worth of Islands songs up my sleeve for the next next record." Sleep is anathema to this man.

Thanks to reader Dean for the tip.
