Go Get Accordion Crimes to Make Their Record →

Hey, remember that bunch of posts I did on intelligent thugs Accordion Crimes a while back? Jeez, I hope they’re cool with me calling them thugs, by the way, since this is the second time I’ve done it, and I’ve never even met them.

Anyway, if you do remember those posts, you know they fucking rule.* If you don’t, go check them out. Back? Great. So, you want more, and you can get more, and the way to get more is to pledge on their Kickstarter. They’re making a full-length, and if the stuff I’ve heard them do in the past is any indicator, it’s going to knock your block off. They’re doing all those neat fundraiser-type things for varying pledge-levels, so even if you’re a busted sack of crap like me, you can get something awesome outta them for not that much money.

And if you’re a bit more gifted monetarily, you can force them to cover a song of your choosing. Think about having that kind of power. Just imagine it. If I could, I’d have them cover some awesome/dumb shit like Billy Childish, the Minutemen, or “Roundabout,” but, at least for now, I’ll have to leave that for folks like you, who have a spare $250 to huck their way.* Now, how much to get them to come play New York?

So get over there and pledge, and reserve yourself some fancy colored vinyl in the process. And let me know when you do, so I’ll feel like I’ve done something with myself! See ya later.

*If you don’t like Accordion Crimes, I don’t even know why you’re here. Hit the bricks.

**Heads up, potential robbers of An Uncontrollable Urge: I have about that much, total, in my bank account right now. So, better luck next time. Hey, what do I have to hide? Oh, and by the way, if I can afford to drop some bills on this, so can you, you cheap piece of shit wonderful and reasoned individual.

Lizard Kisses, “Sleep Talkin’”
Sleeping In

This record was a nice treat, especially after slogging through a ton of emails that have backed up in my inbox over the past few months, many of which sounded exactly the same. Lizard Kisses is a band from Brooklyn, NY (aren’t they all?), and (in particular contrast to a lot of what I’ve been hearing lately) they sound like they’re actually playing their instruments! Their EP Sleeping In is full of character and expressiveness.

When I think about how the Minutemen proved how regular people could do music that was still interesting and truthful, this is the kind of thing that makes me glad they did that. Keep it up, guys.

You can buy a physical copy of the CD here, in all its material uniqueness. Check out their Bandcamp here, or the Tumblr at this location.
