VIDEO: Low 'Something's Turning Over'

This is actually Alan Sparhawk playing solo the closing track from Low's forthcoming album 'C'mon'. On the album this is one of the most polished tracks they've recorded, here it's rougher but maintains much of the magic, despite the absence of Mimi Parker's sweetening harmonies.

Third Man Rolling Record Store

Props to Jack White, this looks very cool! But I can't help thinking that it's probably going to appeal more to people my age rather than High School kids.

VIDEO: The Fuzztones 'Ward 81'

A classic bit of garage rock revival from 1984. Haven't listened to this in a long while but much of their debut album Lysergic Emanations still holds up - '1-2-5', 'She's Wicked', 'Gotta Get Some'.
