Matt Waldron's artwork is always a pleasure, but releases like this one have me doubting the significance of 7" records with the advent of the MP3. Both the Irr. App. (Ext.) and Wyrm tracks are a nice listen, but I'm not sure they needed their own slab of white vinyl.
Described by the label itself a “live goof nonsense”, this is a mixture of travelogue, unintentional stand-up and sound check banter. But where last year’s Live at East Banfields Wolf Eyes release was spoken word comedy, this mixes up that formula with musical interludes.

Now that The Postal Service have become ubiquitous enough for your mother to know about, shoegazing electronic indie pop acts employing near-falsetto vocals are pretty much a dime a dozen. Some of these, however, still sound pretty good.
Those lucky enough to have witnessed Burning Star Core in solo form will expect more than just a single idea bled into 40 minutes. This release captures three different 2004 shows that give an excellent example of the styles that C Spencer Yeh can rip, both alone and as a team player. It never does any harm to get an all-star cast either.
