Ty Segall Covers T. Rex and I Applaud the Glam Results

Ty Segall, scuzzed-out garage rocker. Marc Bolan and T. Rex, glam jammers. While the combination isn't too obvious, these two go together like peanut butter and honey (I was never a big jelly fan).

Segall recently put out a six-track EP of T. Rex covers slyly titled Ty Rex--see what he did there? The lo-fi aesthetic suits Bolan's songs well, but you'd already know it if you listened to Smith Westerns' first LP or Burnt Ones. Regardless, Segall's shaggy covers tow that must-hear line: conventional enough to warrant a curios listen, convincing enough to sound original.

Yeasayer's Record Store Day Tracks Aren't Half Bad

Yeasayer was one of many bands to release "new" music on Record Store Day, dropping two unreleased cuts from their Odd Blood recording sessions.

Despite lackluster critical praise, I was a fan of that LP's retro-avant pop (anyone who has been around me when "Ambling Alp" plays can attest to this), so it's nice to hear the band return to that well, albeit briefly, one more time.

MP3s: Radiohead's Record Store Day 12"

As Radiohead fans were already well aware, the band released two new songs on Record Store Day: the Supercollider / The Butcher 12". You were able to stream vinyl rips of both tracks as early as last week, but HQ MP3s have unsurprisingly found their way onto the interwebs.

Anyone who thought The King of Limbs was too brief can find the solid tracks down below...
