LINER NOTES {04} COMPUTER PERFECTION: “I NEED A SERIOUS LOVE”
It’s the HEAT WAVE edition of our Liner Notes series and this time we’re lucky enough to have some brand new music to share. Have a listen to the latest recording from our friends, Computer Perfection, then be sure to let Gene take you on a trip through the sparks of influence in this synth-swirled summer song.       Gene Corduroy:   A room-sized supercomputer named Agnes falls in love with her programmer, a dorky computer scientist. Agnes needs Serious Love. It’s a Twilight Zone episode from 1964. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JutKT6UmZmI Ray Bradbury just died. In his story, I Sing...

LINER NOTES {03} PHANTASMAGORIA: “DUNES”
If you popped your head into Facebook over the last couple days, chances are you caught the release of Phantasmagoria‘s first track off their upcoming LP Currents.

LINER NOTES {01} PASSALACQUA: “SUNSET CITY”
LINER NOTES is a new series in which local artists share with us – in their own words – the stories, meanings and genesis of their songs. So who better to toast this new adventure than story-stitching MC’s Mister and Blaksmith. Their track “Sunset City” has us wishing on the months ahead, and the video contains some serious – almost NSFW – timelapse skyline porn. And since you’re going to BLOWOUT this year (right?) you should plan to catch them at 10pm @ the PNA Lounge. Event details here. But enough from us, let’s hear it from them…  ...
