Even if you're just looking for something to do, come see what your local Pirate Radio Station is all about all for a measly 3 bucks!

DECHEMAN & THE GARDENER
Without a doubt this is one of our top five records of this year. Sounding like a Psychedelic Bossanova Freakout, veteran rocker Decheman and his young Gardener have created an album that is so good, we had them shipped all the way from France rather than miss out on this 300 copy run of LPs. Organ, Flute, harmonica and guitar collide with the drums to create that kind of original throwback sound so many musicians have tried unsuccessfully to capture. We don't know if it's the relaxed climate, the warm sound of the home recording, or maybe it's the rosé but whatever the cause, these two frenchies have succeeded in recording just the kind of rump shaker this U.S. of A needed for the summer. As we mentioned, copies of this are limited so grab one while you can, and check out the back where our own little Mattjackson got his first album mention! Thanks to Yannick and the fine folks at Kizmiaz Records for putting out an album we wholeheartedly believe everyone should hear.
!!CHECK THEM OUT LIVE!!
PORNO GROOVE
Two weeks ago, our friends at Secret Stash gave us the sad news that this amazing LP has gone out of print. We were just about to gnash our teeth over selling our copies when we discovered a box tucked behind the desk of another of our distributors! Fantasy Entertainment, one of the top producers of porno during the 70's and 80's, in a dramatic turn of events, apparently recorded more awesome music for porno than they did porno itself! 30 reels of unreleased music, along with the music from their blockbusters, was discovered by the former CEO's son Mort Rosen and after lengthy legal battles over the rights, Secret Stash was able to release 2 volumes of material from awesome action films like Grateful Head, Ride Me Like a Wave and The Beaver Hunter.
WATER TOWER BUCKET BOYS "Meet Me Where The Crow Don't Fly"
Our favorite Portlandians have returned with an EP to keep your thirst up for their modern Americana sound. If you came out to their last show at the Arcata Playhouse or maybe caught them at the barn dance then you saw just how these boys can transition seamlessly between original material, traditional standards like Cumberland Gap or even a Misfit's cover. Showcasing the songwriting skills of each of the band's core members, this EP shows the continuing evolution of a band that is helping to carry traditional American music into the future.
Enjoy your 4th of July everyone and when we come back for another post, Adam will tell you all about the two new genres of Music he's discovered: Apocalyptic Appalachia and Swing Diskoteka so stay tuned kiddies and, as always,
keep diggin' those crates
--Matt n' Adam
