man spell check does not want me to spell Diarrhea…. total gross out band name aside Diarrhea Planet actually rules! I discovered these guys because I started following Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus on twitter and he ALWAYS talks about them…along with everything else. Their 5 track ep is a mess of trashy pop punk and overly distorted guitar rock. Really good “shit” HA! poop everywhere. Best lyric “party the shit out of myself…” I feel ya bros, it’s friday.

Underwater Peoples label superstar weirdo Julian Lynch released the record Terra this year and it sure flew under a lot of peoples radars it would seem. Some may be familiar with Lynchs work as an experimental psych artist from the U.P record samplers, he’s the one with all the saxophones. Anyways Terra is definitely worth a listen. The music is abstract and moody. Ambient pop which ventures beyond the threshold of normality. So take a dip in the ether and open your mind to eternal awareness. It gets pretty weird on Terra.

Nickky gave me these tracks by Halifax band DUZHEKNEW which appear on a split tape with halifax band Cousins. it’s really cool stuff, kind of off kilter moody newwaveish indie. I think you’ll digit after one or two listens. let it simmer first.

DUZHEKNEW – Dwindle Kindle

DUZHEKNEW – Moe

and a cool Cousins track off the same tape. Kind of Chad Van style, definitely with the singing at the very least.

Cousins – NANS

On a bit of a tear trying to regroup the lost members of the sadly disbanded Constantines. As one of our writers posted last week Bry Webb the front man of the Cons has released a solo record which sounds fucking amazing. That guy is really on it. Now Deloro has come to my attention. Remember reading about these guys awhile back when Cons first split up. From what I can tell Deloro is the Cons bassit accompanied by a few Toronto musicians including the new Flemish Eye artist Jennifer Castles. The music is really cool. So I figured I’ll share a bit.

Doo-wop a dop pop! I was diggin this in the summer. Remember summer? Man, that was nice. Popsicles and tank tops. Sprinklers and sun glasses…Dream Cop is the effort of Tommy Davidson, who definitely holds his own amongst the other one man bedroom projects out there. Light and nice, but not too fluffy. Put this on next time you’re sloppin through the rain on your way to work. Might make all that water just a little bit brighter.

Beach City / Carol I Know – Dream Cop

Daily Mirage – Dream Cop

Fuckin’ radical heavy psych metal from Japans Travellin’ Flower Band circa 1971. I’ve read it didn’t go much farther then the album Satori, but hell thats good enough for me. Wail on Satori, wail on.

San Fran garage psych rocker Ty Segall put out a sweet record this year, it’s the one with the basset hound on the cover called Goodbye Bread. Segall’s music is pretty great, a mix of some of my favourite groups like Thee Oh Sees and Jay Retard (rip). A collection of his singled from 2007 to 2010 has been released to rave reviews, and thats fine, because it’s great! Most songs clock in at a minute and a half with the entire 25 song record lasting only one hour! here’s three tracks to dig on.

Ty Segall – Booksmarts

Ty Segall – Happy Creeps

Rob said this guy plays bass for tuneyards. i dont know if that’s true or not but he certainly is touring with her right now. Sad I missed their set at the biltmore on saturday, oh well go to see Wu Lyf instead so I can’t complain. Anyways this Pat Jordache record is really fucking cool. He has a very distinctive sound. It’s akin to what would be a poppy version of Women or a lopsided Interpol. From the get go Future Songs sounds like a marry go round of indie hooks and odd ball crooner vocal stylings. Love it! Wont be missing Pat Jordache next time he comes through vancouver that’s for sure.
