Tuesday
Fruit Bats-Tegucigalpa
Local fans of Fishboy should be all over this track, with it’s poppy melody jaunting to and fro between Tweeness and classic rock esq guitar work. Really it’s a fantastic song and should have you ready to go over to The Loft, or Good records.
Wednesday
Elvis Costello & The Attractions- Watching the Detectives
Anyone else immediately think of the Watchmen when hearing this song?
Elvis Costello- I want you
Elvis at his darkest, this song in down right unnerving.
Friday
Wayne “The Train” Hancock- Viper of Melody
You know exactly what you’re getting from Wayne, drinking songs to share with friends.
Saturday
This Will Destroy You- Burial On The Presidio Banks
I hate it when people label post-rock as boring, or”more of the same” it shows that they’re being lazy by falling back on a tired criticism. I for one tend to enjoy this branch of music, the intricate work always spurning me on to create, as I always tend to have it on in the back ground while working.
This track gives you what you want from the genre, it’s moody, with a steady line that seems to build to chaos with each passing second. Maybe it is “more of the same”, but it’s damn good “more of the same”.

Absolutely love This Will Destroy You. They make South Texas proud. So sad I’ll be missing them.
