Just So I Never Talk To You



Ty Segall's inevitable descent into deli trays and NPR Rock has been all but assured by any number of people (I can kinda picture it happening, myself), but in the meantime he's been riding a winning streak the likes of which I haven't seen since the first handful of Spoon records, at least. "Lemons" might've been a bit of a dud, but everything else I've heard has been pure gold, and "Melted" might even be the best out of the whole bunch. I thought that maybe the vinyl for this had sold out at some point, but I just double-checked and it's up on the Goner web site now-- with the admonishment "there is no colored vinyl or special edition for this record"-- so maybe I was thinking of the Moonhearts LP (which also rules) instead. Anyway, I'm not really writing a review of this now, it's just that I took the pictures a long time ago, thinking that I might use them eventually, and I finally got tired of them cluttering up the folder on my computer. "Nice" gatefold sleeve, by the way. Here's a song that I ripped, too.

Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk

This Ty Segall/Mikal Cronin tape is the best thing I've heard this week, besides maybe the Raw Nerve LP... Mikal Cronin is from Charlie and the Moonhearts, and this stuff is a lot closer to Charlie and the Moonhearts (meaning it's much more blown-out) than than any of Ty Segall's solo stuff, which is all pretty good by itself anyway... yes, that's a Pink Floyd cover, but I'm not holding it against them... this is some seriously ass-waxing, head-bludgeoning shit, the kind that Telephone Explosion has been making a killing with lately, yet it's on Burger Records, home of superlative pop stuff like King Tuff, Fever B, Cleaners from Venus, and Garbo's Daughter... you should maybe grab a copy from Burger for yourself (burgerrecords.webs.com), they're only six bucks and they're fairly pro, or you can probably still get the LP version (which came out a couple of months earlier) from Kill Shaman... who knows, if you buy the LP you might even get the correct b-side...
