Tuesday!

A few things, quickly, on what will hopefully be a lovely Tuesday.

First, to celebrate their appearance at Indietracks later this month, The Pete Green Corporate Juggernaut have released their wonderful track "Hey Dr. Beeching" as an MP3 download HERE!

"The song features not only yer obligatory train noises and onomatopoeic drums but also samples of the notorious Dr Beeching himself, speaking in 1963 about his disastrous plans to 'reshape' Britain's railway network (which basically meant closing huge sections of it down). The narrator of the song travels back in time on a magic steam train to assassinate Beeching, saving hundreds of stations and thousands of miles of track, for the pleasure and convenience of travellers back in the 21st century.

It's free to download the song but we're asking everyone who does to consider making a small donation to the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway – a small heritage line near where Pete grew up, on a section of the former main line closed as a result of the Beeching report."


Secondly, I've been way into Spectrals for the past several days! Reverb, reverb, more reverb, and some fantastic surfy, 60s-inspired pop melodies. They, not so surprisingly, have a single slated for release on Captured Tracks later this year. Listen to "Leave Me Be" and fall in love.

Thirdly, Maribel's Aesthetics is quickly becoming one of my very, very favorite records of the year. They sound just like Medicine to me and that is just totally fine! I just stumbled onto this video for "Taste the Trash" today. So so so good.



Okay, I think that's all for now.
