1. The Extraordinaires get crafty. The Extraordinaires blend colorful songwriting with a helluva live show, but their real claim to fame is releasing albums as — get ready — miniature, handcrafted storybooks. Their last three releases have all come bound instead actual books, which feature everything from original artwork and lyric sheets to elaborately crafted fake library cards. The dudes have always put 110% into their projects, so their fourth official release is bound to be a doozy. (They’re even learning new instruments, according to their project description.)  Today we’re givin’ em a spin as our Project of the Day.

  4. Blackburn Recordings Various Deficiencies Vol.1 highlighted many up-and-coming acts trudging through the halls of the undergound a few years back, many of whom have descended the ranks to become household names in places where Mouthus is a household name. So, I couldn’t be more excited to see Jonathan, the man behind Blackburn, bringing the second volume of this soon-to-see-storied series to life. You can stream it for free below, but you know you want to pledge for a beautiful copy on virgin vinyl.
