LIMES - "Rhinestone River" LPLimes Rhinestone River LP (Goner, 2010) The second (though technically first released?) of two modern classic full lengths from these twilight hour bar folk masters. If Jarmusch made Mystery Train ten to fifteen years later, I feel like Shawn Cripps & co. could have had their own vignette. True Memphis shit. Sleepily performed, perfectly sorrowful and frustratingly (yet not surprisingly) ignored 'indie rock' with a desert dry, road worn wit. One day

used traditionally in healing ceremonies

Partner Music leads the way with ‘Lena’ a tactile euro-disco thermal-detonator

making for an incredibly live texture -- very fitting for a record with such a lack of seriousness

To those who have been following the Fieldhands from the beginning

The Archaeas’ roots make sense: the bombastic Japanese trio Guitar Wolf (Goner Records first release in 1993) and Mark Sultan (“BBQ” from the King Khan & BBQ Show’s first album

"Home Blitz’s records may deviate stylistically from one another

You will be morose when you have missed your chance to spin it on your own home table
