PRE-ORDER :: https://fatherdaughterrecords.bandcamp.com/album/screentime

Addie Pray is the three-year-old solo project of Carmen Perry, songwriter/vocalist of the Gambier, OH band, SPORTS. Screentime was written and recorded over the course of two years in Gambier, OH, Montclair, NJ, and Chiang Mai, Thailand. Jack Washburn played drums on “Watch TV,” “Heartburn,” and “After All,” produced beats on “Perspective,” and sang on “When Things Aren't Lining Up.” Screentime (out November 27, 2015 on Father/Daughter Records) is about waiting and learning how to feel like you deserve to be happy.

DIIV // Bent (Roi's Song)

Slowdive EP is 25 years old. It was released by Creation Records on November 5th, 1990.

When the band reformed for 2014, it seemed obvious to us to start our live shows by playing the Slowdive EP at the top of the set list. It sets out where we originally came from, and sets the scene for where we were going. And to celebrate that, we'd like to present a free live recording of Avalyn, performed during our USA / Canada tour last year. We are currently working on releasing the entire live set from that tour as a collection, so look out for news of that soon.

Vocals / Guitar - Neil Halstead
Vocals - Rachel Goswell
Guitar - Christian Savill
Bass Guitar - Nick Chaplin
Drums - Simon Scott

Song written by Halstead/Goswell/Savill/Chaplin/Sell
Mixed and Mastered by Simon Scott / SPS Mastering @MasteringSps

Sometimes I have weird ideas. This is one of them.

A few weeks ago, I got the idea to make an ambient/drone track from the final note that FUGAZI has played onstage. Tonight, 13 years after their final show (to date), I finished the track. 

Although clearly manipulated in a number of different ways, all the sounds on this track are from the last chord and ensuing feedback of FUGAZI's performance of "Glue Man" at the Forum in London, England on November 4, 2002. 

The full performance from that evening, recorded by Nick Pellicciotto, is available for purchase from the FUGAZI LIVE SERIES at the following link.

Thank you.

Bruising - Honey

Aren’t you tired of the way boys who feel feel?
all folded arms and compliments
in pain to feign their innocence
when what they really want is

what you really want is
not written on the bathroom stall
or pleasures more mechanical or manual 
it’s worse than them all

In the kilt that you kept 
out of guilt that you let
all your fathers down
you were bold for a joke
but it went too well
now you’re going to hell 

You could lie to me now but you won’t
I could try to be shy but I’m not
cuz where you’re going I want to be there
and there’s no use stopping 
when the flames jump so near

in the street where we met
after everyone left
you wouldn’t say goodbye
you were bold for a joke
but it went too well
now you’re going to hell

you can dance on a Saturday night
till the light’s come on and the morning’s young
but when church bells ring, you'll go off to him
and tell everything.

I know you had such good intentions
when you took my idle hand
what came next, well I think you can guess
it doesn't end well
we’re going to hell. 

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Hell

Artist: Rob Crow's Gloomy Place
Title: Business Interruptus
Album: You're Doomed. Be Nice.
Release Date: March 4, 2016

Pre-Order CD/LP: shop.temporaryresidence.com/trr264
Pre-Order Bandcamp: https://robcrow.bandcamp.com/album/you-re-doomed-be-nice
Pre-Order iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/youre-doomed.-be-nice./id1059507533?ls=1

You're Doomed. Be Nice. is Rob Crow's first album since his heavily-publicized withdrawal from music – specifically the toxic byproducts of  the lifestyle of a touring professional musician attempting to survive in an industry of diminishing returns. Rather than perform, record, and mix every note himself – a trademark of his previous solo endeavors – Crow formed Gloomy Place, a band made up of close friends that includes another member of the beloved Heavy Vegetable. Recorded and mixed by Ben Moore (Hot Snakes), You're Doomed presents a fascinating dichotomy: dynamic, eclectic prog-pop backing alarmingly confessional, often acerbic lyrical themes. This juxtaposition makes for an album of confrontational yet accessible songs filled with wry wit and emotional depth.

Whereas Crow's previous solo endeavors acted primarily as low-key stop-gaps between Pinback albums, the stakes are markedly higher here – and it shows in both the depth of songwriting and impressively labyrinthine performances. Gone are the 60-second blink-and-you-missed-them acoustic sketches that became a staple of Crow's solo albums; You're Doomed is filled with the kind of thoughtful attention to detail and craft that was a hallmark of Pinback's legendary catalog.

You're Doomed. Be Nice. is the diamond carved out of a particularly rough chunk of Rob Crow's life – one that's either the first gem of an inspired second act, or the culmination of an undeniably influential career. In either case, the quality of its cut will last a lifetime.
