new song: nude boy - d.i. dad

It seems like just the other day I posted a couple tracks from San Diego's Nude Boy. I mentioned they've got a new 7'' coming out on Single Screen, and now you can hear the fuzzed-to-death a-side, "D.I. Dad." It's, like, imagine an airplane's engine has exploded. A big 747. The fucker's going down: it's on fire and there's a hole in the side. But when they find the Black Box, they discover the pilots had been using the craft's last few seconds to blast some Siouxsie & the Banshees over the shitty cabin PA.


Plane crash imagery: my new go-to for talking about lo-fi.

I also highly recommend downloading this compilation.

So there's this cloud of really pissed-off magic that, like, circles the globe. From time to time it touches down in this or that run-down downtown and gives birth to greatness. Places like Manchester, Los Angeles, Aukland. This particular post finds it hovering somewhere above sunny San Diego, its sights zeroed in on the girls and boys of Nude Boy.


There's a nice texture to the guitars on "Quaker." It's something you're more likely to hear from the crackling vinyl of a forgotten punk 7'' than a young band, but they channel the Class of '77 with a level of craft and class not seen since the late Mika Miko. The homie Melissa was cool enough to send me a couple mp3's of some songs that're up on theirSpace. Look for their debut 7'' which is dropping sometime this/next month on Single Screen.
