The "I'll get back to that" portion of my brain results in sometimes 50 browser tabs being open, many of which are YouTube or Bandcamp links for bands and performers that I want to keep track of.  So, I'm sorting through browser tabs.

If you're not in the mood to work through a crowd while digging for albums, check the record store's events calendar.  Mind you I'm certainly not against bands performing in record stores.  I was at Siren Records last night, doing a little overdue perusal and happy at the fact that the store was packed.  If music fans are in the store, it's likely they'll walk out with worthwhile purchases tucked under their arms and the store will carry on another day.  However, it had been a while since I'd had the opportunity to hang out at the record store and casually survey the wares.  To facilitate the night's acts, half the store had to be blocked off by a raised platform and obviously a drum kit and sound equipment, which leaves the other half of the store available for the audience, the bands' gear and merch.  Consequently, I couldn't shop a good portion of the store.  I was able to hit the new releases, the indie/punk/hardcore/metal section and the jazz...

I received this press release for the upcoming Iceage album, You're Nothing .  No studio tracks have been made available yet, but I did find this BBC Sessions performance of the title track.  It's loud and snotty.  Yay for loud and snotty.  Info comes straight from Matador Records. We're pleased to announce further details on Iceage's forthcoming longplayer, set for release on February 19, 2013 (the 18th, ex-North America) Titled, "You're Nothing", the album was recorded & produced by Iceage in Copenhagen and Mohn, Denmark. "You're Nothing" pushes Iceage's singular sound to further extremes. Twelve examples of the myriad ways Iceage have written, and re-written the short aggressive rock song. We're excited for you to hear it.   1.Ecstasy 2.Coalition 3.Interlude 4.Burning Hand 5.In Haze 6.Morals 7.Everything Drifts 8.Wounded Hearts 9.
