Another light-in-number but heavy-with-awesome week.
- Black Moth Super Rainbow - Cobra Juicy (buy the CD/buy the MP3s)
- Tame Impala - Lonerism (buy the CD/buy the MP3s)
Two albums I’ve been looking forward to for a while.

The Toronto trio METZ is rude, severe, and excellent. They make rock music, all of it loud, most of it precise without feeling checked. It’s raucous stuff, heavily indebted to music recorded for the Chicago label Tough & Go in the eighties, and recordings made in the nineties for the D.C. label Dischord. We are happy to be streaming their self-titled début album, exclusively, for one week. A few days ago, I spoke on the phone with the band’s guitarist and singer, Alex Edkins.

Killer Mike
God damn. Kills. One of the best albums of 2012, if not THE best. Guess we’ll see how it all plays out in December.

Hear a performance of Michael Kiwanuka’s raw and authentic soul music, recorded live from WXPN’s World Cafe in Philadelphia.
My favorite new artist of the year and one of the most talented artists I’ve come across in years. If you aren’t aware of him, get familiar.
