Friday Quick Links
When we're not swatting mosquitoes, we're dabbing on calamine lotion and reading things like this online:
- Numero Group puts out a previously unreleased 45 by The Four Mints.
- You can stream part of the Andrew Bird soundtrack for the Field Museum's Mammoths and Mastodons exhibit from the comfort of your own computer.
- Get ready for Hollywood Holt's forthcoming album These Are The Songs That Didn't Make The Album But Are Still Cold As Hell So Shut The F*** Up Vol. 1 with this video of the remix for "Deep Cover" at Fake Shore Drive. Also Holt, did I sit just behind you at the Devo show at the Congress? If so, nice jukin'!
- Speaking of much-praised up-and-coming Chicago rap talent, the Cool Kids have a new video that's sneaked online for "Gold Links."
- MP3 download roundup at LargeHearted Boy including a new Kid Sister Daytrotter session!
- Itching to hit the open road, and need a soundtrack? Download Big Rock Candy Mountain's Road Hog mix and start your engines.
- Video from last week's Swell Season/Once event at Lincoln Hall at WBEZ Music. Sadly, last night in Saratoga, an audience member apparently committed suicide at the Swell Season's show.
- Didn't your mom ever tell you not to throw rocks at Tila Tequila? Apparently not.
- Miss hearing Freddie Gibbs now that Pitchfork has come and gone? Download this mixtape, Str8 Killa, No DJ.
- Grab a Mini Mix Series v. 4 download from Hot Biscuits and just...dance!
- Long live Epitonic!
- This version of Tom Waits covering James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" reminds me of the outstanding (and ill-appreciated) '80s covers by local Tom Waits' tribute band B1G T1ME.
- Stream (or even better, purchase) the forthcoming Sufjan Stevens EP All Delighted People on Bandcamp.
- Chill out with Justin Bieber: "U Smile" slowed down 800 percent actually sounds pretty...good. Baby.
