I don’t know why it is, but I seem to buy as many singles as I do full lengths. It still always seems to be the first place to find out about new, fresh artists first.

Wounded Lion – 7" (S-S)
Sic Alps – Unitled (Important)

Honorable 7" (or otherwise non-full length) mention:

I’m sure a couple of these might’ve come out in 2007, but hey, cut me some slack. I don’t live in some cultural mecca like Park Slope or Berkeley, okay? I live in Georgia. Deal with it.
And while I’m at it talking about Georgia, a special round of applause to Douchemaster, Die Slaughterhaus and Rob’s House for releasing quality seven inch vinyl throughout 2008. In fact, I just got the latest stash of Rob’s House slop in today’s post and it’s already makin’ me a happy camper! (Note: Anything on HoZac from the past year also receives special mention.)
And one last note, the Spooks LP on Die Slaughterhaus has been in heavy rotation. It’s a pity it won’t actually see the light of day until 2009, but at the release party on Halloween, I nabbed a sleeve with a CD-R in it so technically, I can include it in this 2008 list…
In unrelated news, my good friend Joe Peery sent me a link to this woman who does really elaborate hair dressing to her full size poodle to which I say, simply, "whoa!"
And although it’s not my goal to make recent posts all about The Jesus Lizard (although I know a few won’t mind it), I will leave you with this very notable picture of Yow in Memphis. I wonder why that girl behind him is smiling…..
