LOVELY BAD THINGS - THE LATE GREAT WHATEVER
Deeply embedded in California's DIY scene, the The Lovely Bad Things have cultivated a devoted fan base through sharing the stage (or lack thereof) with noteworthy acts The Growlers, Abe Vigoda, The Thermals, Screaming Females, OFF!, Wavves, No Age, Crystal Antlers, and Peter, Bjorn and John. Brought together by time and fate-they'd all known each other since high school, but finally made a band together in 2009-and named by some kind of esoteric computer filename error too complex to further explain, Orange County's Lovely Bad Things are the hyperactive omnitalented and relentlessly hilarious garage-pop band who crowdfunded their way to an encore performance at the world-famous Primavera Sound festival and whose new album The Late Great Whatever was titled during a dream at the suggestion of their spirit guide, who happens to look strangely like Dinosaur Jr. drummer Murph.

JAY JAYS - JAY-JAYS
At the end of 1965, four members of The Hagues popular Jumping Jewels dumped their manager and struck out on their own as the Jay-Jays. With the name change came a new musical direction, a pent-up beat music sound inspired by the Beatles, the Who and, especially, the Kinks. Their first single, Bald Headed Woman, was a Top 10 smash. The Jay-Jays most impressive recordings were all released within the span of one tumultuous, action-packed year: 1966. Their self-titled album included such Dutch beat gems as Come Back If You Dare, I Keep Tryin, Today Im Gay and the fuzz-packed instrumental Cruncher. Every one of those jumping 66 jewels can be heard on this twelve-inch platter, remastered in dynamic mono sound, each sounding louder, more vibrant, and more crunch-filled than ever before. The album is supplemented by three non-LP single sides, and a previously unreleased instrumental demo version of Are You A Woman.

PRICE, LLOYD - THE EXCITING LLOYD PRICE
Born in Kenner, Louisiana and growing up in the suburbs of New Orleans, Lloyd Price knew massive success very early when Art Rupe of Specialty Records visited New Orleans searching for new talents and heard his 'Lawdy Miss Clawdy' and wanted to record it. Price had no band back then, so Rupe hired Dave Bartholomew and his band (which included Fats Domino on piano!) to back Price up in the session. The resulting single was a total chart-smasher and it took a long long time for poor Looyd to equal such an achievement. In 1954 he was drafted and ended up in Korea, when he returned not only he found that he had been misplaced by Little Richard, but his precious chaffeur, Larry Williams, also became a Specialty recording artist. But between 1957 and 1959, first under his own KRC records and then after he signed to ABC-Paramount, Price recorded a series of national hits most of which ended up on his 1959 astonishing debut album. Tracks: SIDE A: 1. Stagger Lee 2. I Wish Your Picture Was You 3. Talking About Love 4. What Do You Do To My Heart? 5. You Need Love 6. Mailman Blues. SIDE B: 1. Where Were You (On Our Wedding Day) 2. Why? 3. Lawdy Miss Clawdy 4. Oh Oh Oh 5. A Foggy Day 6. Just Because.
VARIOUS - SEDAYEH DEL (2LP)
Khosh Amadid, friends, to this 4th volume in a series of compilations highlighting fiercely rare 45s from Tehran's pre-revolutionary golden age. Vivacious ladies with sassy Dorothy Hamill haircuts and skin-bearing pantsuits were once plastered across Tehran's newsstands. Those gorgeous sirens and their hunky male counterparts made all the teens sway to hand drums that boinked in 6/8 time. Plush brass & string arrangements took their cues from Latin grooves, psychedelic guitars, ritzy soundtracks, and sugary pop from the West. Within months of the 1979 Islamic revolution, pop music was labeled a symbol of the previous regime and became illegal overnight. In those same months, it also became illegal for women to be in public without conforming to the hijab dress code. By hook and crook, these little round records survived, and they attest to a time when Tehran's homegrown and exiled populations would have been united in an easygoing love for funk bass & buzzing synthesizers. Hear the tunes that rivaled the hits of Googoosh & Kourosh by singers who only recorded a few precious singles, but dont think for a minute that Tehran's nightingales have run out of surprises for your ears. The discoveries are just beginning. Tracks: 01 ZIA - Helelyos 02 FARROKHZAD - Avazekhan Na Avaz 03 SHOHREH - Del 04 SHAMAIZADEH - Agar Bekhai Mitooni 05 NOOSHAFARIN - Gole Aftabgardoon 06 ZIA - Kermani 07 AZITA - Yaare Chaghalo 08 SHAHROKH - Koolehbaar 09 SHAMAIZADEH - Be Man Tekyeh Kon 10 BETI - Hele Dan Dan 11 AZITA - Baba Heydar 12 SATTAR - Sedayeh Del 13 SOLI Feat. NELI - Tasvire Yek Fasl 14 AFSHIN - Tarhe Khoshbakhti 15 SHOREH - Omadi 16 MAZIAR - Mahigir.
VILLAIN, CARMEN - SLEEPER
Let's get this out of the way first. Indeed, CARMEN VILLAIN used to be a very successful model. Her face has appeared on the covers of Vogue and Nylon, and high profile cosmetic ad campaigns. It turns out CARMEN HILLESTAD (Carmen Villain) has been a spy in the house of fashion. Behind the scenes, she was channeling her frustrations into a set of songs with a defiantly DIY underground free-rock sound. Now at last, she's stepping off the glossy page and emerging as a major new songwriting voice and multi-instrumentalist. Behind the angelic face lurks a villain. With acid in her airbrush, she reminds us of This Heat, Bikini Kill, Sonic Youth, and Royal Trux.
