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.

No UFOs – Mind Control CS (Dub Ditch Picnic)

One side of this sounds like a three or four second snippet of every piece of music this artist has attempted in the past year (and probably a lot that were borrowed), played in sequence. If there’s a good idea in there, it’s almost instantly discarded in favor of the next one, and so on and so forth. Might be good for an art gallery but I couldn’t wait for it to end. The other side is your standard beachy three-chord warbly VHS synth/guitar progression. I bought a Walkman recently to cover the guilt of receiving so many cassettes that don’t get reviewed in a timely fashion, and I’ve decided to make my commutes to and from the office a little more productive by listening to a tape or two off the pile each day. This one wasn’t good walking around music, to be certain. It was also short enough that the tape was finished before the train pulled into my station. Floaty and stoney farts from Canada, couldn’t knock the white cap off Russ Waterhouse’s head. Won’t be listening to this again. (http://dubditchpicnicrecords.blogspot.com)
