Blitzen Trapper Reveal Furr Cover Art

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted July, 18th 2008

As reported a little while ago, Blitzen Trapper will be releasing a new album on September 23. Now, I have the cover art and track listing. At first, this image set me back a bit. It looks more Iron Maiden then Blitzen Trapper. But I have grown to love the stylistic font set against the timber background. Anyway, this Portland's band first release on Sub Pop is surely one to look forward to. The album was mainly recorded at...

Sounding a tad like what you would call a geriatric group armed with walkers and canes, Slow Club is actually quite a bit more youthful and has a club membership of only two. Although if they were to offer any paperwork, I and many others, I'm sure,...

From Bradleys Almanac, Posted July, 18th 2008

So last night was the 3rd Thursday of the month, which meant another packed Tourfilter DJ Night at my beloved River Gods in Cambridge. Here's what was heard during my two-hour set, after which Chris from TF took over in the booth, from which we played only music by bands coming to the Boston area during the next couple months or so...
