Had Enough By Gun Outfit

I was checking out the new website of Dean Spunt's (1/2 of No Age) Post Present Medium label and the new Gun Outfit 7" caught my eye. Their band page lists the influences of the Olympia Washington, uhh, outfit as (1) Meat Puppets and (2) Dinosaur Jr. Sounding good. It also says: "GUN OUTFIT create their own sound that is equal parts melody, jangle, punk and pop." Sounding real good. After a little clicking, I found their demo. Listen.

Downloadable: "Had Enough" (box.net mp3)

The Boxes And Cubes Mini-Mix

I have been seeing boxes everywhere.

First I saw these two.

@ Union Square L Track


Then I saw this one.

@ 14th St and 3rd Ave


AND the I saw what has been called "Yellow Tape Box" (in The L Magazine's Best Of NY)

@ 12th St and 3rd Ave (I think)


Then I decided to put together a mix of Boxes And Cubes. It turns out that I have very few "Cube" songs and many many "Box" songs. Have a listen:

"Box Elder" (box.net mp3) by Pavement
"Sugarcube" (box.net mp3) by Yo La Tengo
"Boxes" (box.net mp3) by Abe Vigoda
"Goes Cube Song 30" (box.net mp3) by Goes Cube
"Hundebox" (box.net mp3) by Motico
"Brown Boxes" (box.net mp3) by The Spinto Band
"Pandora's Box" (box.net mp3) by Throwing Muses

I also just wanted to say thank you to whoever is putting this tape down. You rock.
