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.

Gary Wilson – Forgotten Lovers LP (Feeding Tube)

Gary Wilson is a fixed frequency on the spectrum of life, and tuning to that channel provides a constant and unswerving presence: shag carpet, sandalwood incense, leisure suits, and in the midst of it all a dressed-up man in the throes of romantic failure. The distance between his late ‘70s real people classic You Think You Really Know Me and the new Forgotten Lovers is negligible: his backing band has become a bit flashier and more professional, and Gary sounds more confident, but it is as just as bizarre and personal a trip, maybe even more so now that the artist has found a balance between his output and its eventual reception by a committed group of listeners, and has entered somewhat of a comfort zone in terms of how he’ll be received. Very nice silkscreened sleeve on this pressing. (http://www.feedingtuberecords.com)
