From Third Man Records:
Out today on Third Man Records is a Jack White and Black Milk co-production available on 7” single and Itunes. Performed with a live 9-piece backing band, both tracks “Brain” and “Royal Mega” are classic funk and soul imbibed slices of classic skull snappin’ hip hop. This is Third Man’s first hip hop production and we couldn’t have picked a better artist to start with.
Elysian Fields - Baby Get Lost
DJ /Rupture - Overture: Watermelon City
from Special Gunpowder
DJ /Rupture is too eclectic, too sophisticated and too mature for the label “DJ”. The term carries a lot of baggage, virtually none of it applicable to practitioners like /Rupture, Shadow and Spooky, who see turntables as more of a gateway than an instrument. Nowhere is this expansive outlook more clear than on this collaboration between /Rupture and award winning poet Elizabeth Alexander.
Rasputina - Rose K
This song is so perfectly, honestly, beautifully sad.
“Never Yours” - Low Sea
Ireland-based duo Low Sea combine warped seasick-shoegaze, nostalgic pop melody and fuzzed-out dreampop, all cemented on a solid krautrock platform. With sounds that reference everything from Suicide to Spacemen 3, A.R.Kane to Mazzy Star, Giorgio Moroder to The Big Pink, Low Sea’s songs are a hazy journey between looming shadows and bleached-out light. Their record, The Light, will be available in physical format 9/13.

Ween - The Stallion pt. 3 (Live Studio)
from All Request Live
As Gener would say, it’s “live on the Infranet.”

Sole - Cheap Entertainment
from Live From Rome
Solex vs Cristina Martinez + Jon Spencer - Racer X

The Threshold HouseBoys Choir - Be Happy
\via: heilige
The first of Peter Christopherson’s hypnotic post-Coil work. I’m not sure where this track comes from or where it can be purchased. My guess is that it was released on an extremely limited edition disc in 2008. If you like it, go spend a few dollars at Threshold House. Lots of great music there.
