- indie mp3 has a Pains of Being Pure at Heart "smorgasboard"... here. Also featured are side projects The Metric Mile and The Depreciation Guild. Watch the latest Pains vid... here.

- Have you checked out the MBV meta mp3 blog, yet? It's pretty clean and readable (no ads, yay). It might create some likelihood of confusion. As far as I can tell, they have no affiliation with My Bloody Valentine, but hey those concerns are trumped by fair use. Dig it.

- Listen to the latest in promomp3 from The Middle States - "No Curse, No Drunk, No Fight" (team clermont mp3)

- I do not need to post THIS. It's friggin' everywhere. Damn you! LCD Soundsystem!

Everything With You By The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

On October 14, Slumberland Records is going to release the Everything With You 7" by indienoisepoppers The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

Listen: "Everything With You" (box.net mp3)

"Everything With You" sounds like an amalgamation of, well definitely MBV, but also a whole bunch of late 80's-early 90's college rock. At the same time, it does NOT sound dated. The b-side is the 'anthem' entitled, um... "The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart." Dig it.

Preorder the 7" here.
