STILL SINGLE

A space for thoughts on music and culture, as written by Doug Mosurock and a select handful of individuals. This is intended as a supplement to our regular feature Still Single, published on Dusted Magazine. Updates will run here more frequently, and may feature writing on music not covered in the column. Compact discs are still not accepted for review -- we have more than enough vinyl and the occasional cassette to worry about.

Our Twitter feed keeps you apprised of reviews as they're published. It's kept locked and private, because with a name like @stillsingle, everyone thinks it's a dating site. Approvals happen whenever they happen.

NEW ADDRESS -- PLEASE SEND MAIL HERE FROM NOW ON
Doug's contact address is as follows:
Doug Mosurock
PO Box 3087
New York, NY 10185-3087

If you were planning on sending vinyl to Dusted, their HQ has moved to Washington, DC. That means that you're delaying your review by directing copies of your release down there. So make sure it goes to the above address.

Superhuman Happiness – “GMYL” b/w “The Hounds” 7” (Electric Cowbell)

A-side is electro-pop with tons of instruments piled on top of a groove that vanishes from my mind five minutes after hearing this song eight times in a row. Oh, there’s a funk thing going on with this, too, but it’s 99 Records post-punk “funk” … not Meters or Undisputed Truth funk. The B-side is a little more memorable, and hits you upside the head with the TV on the Radio-style vocals/vocal-phrasing. Maybe SHH can find the modern-day Brill Building where TVOTR buys its songs. Maybe it’s 2005 all over again. To wrap: This 7” is for people who are so enamored with Outhud and !!! that an $4-a-day version will do (in the hook-creating dept). Comes in a plain paper sleeve that’s been stamped with the label name, plus coz’s phone # and e-mail address. Either he runs the label or is looking to jump ship… (http://www.electric-cowbell.com)
