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:

PO Box 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.

Watery Love – “Die With Dignity” b/w “Leave Me Alone” 7” (Siltbreeze) / Two Thrills 7” (Negative Guest List)

RECOMMENDED

Local rock that Aquarius Records would have shit twice as hard over if only they realized who is in the band. Four rowdy blue collar ones for when the dockworkers mix it up with the Thirsty Thursday set, headlined by the unforgettable “Die With Dignity.” Featuring songs by the Cramps (“New Kind of Kick”) and Lou Reed (“Leave Me Alone”) that fulfill their contracts with the local musicians’ union. Now with Big Dan on bass. They’re best when they’re hammering away at one chord, and they do it on both originals. One good chord is all you need anyway, and you will find it on “A Condom,” where Richard tells you what he is and isn’t gonna put in his bag. Massive, all-basement vibes and some of the truest mid-digital ingrown hair/possible MRSA spuzz since Drunks with Guns, but actually concerned with paying rent and staying out of trouble, the former’s charismatic nihilism and irresponsibility replaced with a seething contempt for humanity, teeming over the sides. SOUNDS LIKE SKULL MUSIC TO ME! Siltbreeze single came with a DVD-R labeled “Team America World Police.” What will yours include? (http://www.siltbreeze.com) (http://negativeguestlist.blogspot.com)
