Six Cents And Natalie- Summer's Gone But A Lot Goes On

casiotone for the painfully unknown. this is the guy from tullycraft. simple and enjoyable lonely pop tunes. definitely worth a listen. this consists of two covers, an instrumental, another instrumental that acts as a soundtrack over some odd gathering of people talking, and one original fully realized song. that song, your swimming suit, is the best track here in my opinion. but see for yourself.

tracklist:

your swimming suit
your _______
your class (bmx bandits cover)
i'm smarter than that (zaius cover)
what did they name the bike?

V/A- Self-Portrait Vol 2 7"

this was released on permafrost records out of winnipeg, and it's the second (and possibly final?) volume of the self-portrait series. i have the first volume as well, and it'll likely make its way here at some point. this comp contains indie/emo numbers from four different bands. the march december swing track might be my favourite off of this, but all of the stuff is good enough to check out for sure.

tracklist:

porter hall- limo roulette
haywood- alpenland
north of america- the sneaks are everywhere!
march december swing- the joy of photography


in a field, it's humming some name

split! Boyracer / Que Possum 7"

i almost feel bad uploading this as the first boyracer post. if this is the first time you've heard boyracer, don't let it mislead you. this band put out some really amazing stuff in the 90s, and this release does not do them justice. don't really care much for any of the songs on this one aside from que possum's unrested. but check it out and if you like any hint of boyracer, grab their earlier stuff (you can't go wrong with their first two full-lengths "more songs about frustration and self-hate" & "in full colour"). part of the slew of splits with glow-in-the-dark covers that boyracer released on 555 records in 2008.

tracklist:

boyracer- faith seeds
boyracer- final day
boyracer- dark wing
que possum- listen
que possum- unrested

V/A- Magic Eye Single ("Blue") 7"

magic eye released four singles that featured three to four different bands, and they called each by the colour of vinyl they were pressed on. so here's blue. it was the second in the series and it came out in 1996. the insert features a photo copy of a rejection note from the silver jews about contributing a song to one of the comps, saying that they were pretty sure they were monogamous with drag city. mostly lo-fi and/or acoustic stuff. the cover for this was made from part of a coca-cola box.

tracklist:

the sonora pine- hoya carnosa
zeke fiddler- everyone eventually leaves this town
nord express- crazied
new radiant storm king- embry crossroads


slipping, it seeps beneath the door

Endive- Underlies 7"

some pretty nice female-fronted emo. a products of the mids (midwest / mid-90s). released on multipurpose records, this was one of only two things the band put out on wax. the other was a split. not necessarily immediately remarkable, but that doesn't mean it's not a solid contribution. 

tracklist:

underlies

christening day

thought sauce slops upon the floor

The Lefties- Night Flight Of The Bat Moon Dog 7"

this is one of the best 50 cent 7"s you've never bought. and it's still available too. the song movies is the fucking tops. it was covered by comet gain. and the song sexy lubey is also awesome. you've definitely got to listen to this one. 

tracklist:

sexy lubey

movies

in the court of love

some drips still drop during this drought 

Quahogs- Glaze 7"

more awesome tunes that were apart of the glory that was early 90s canadian east coast pop. this was released in 1994 by cinnamon toast records and was limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. all four tunes are pretty great. highly recommended.

tracklist:

glaze
them
cows
