Let’s get rolling with the best in background noise. Our friends at Lefse Records, clearly not satisfied with already running one of the [ READ MORE ]
I had a nice little post all ready to go for today, then I rethought some of the tracks. To entertain you whilst I revamp, here are some new releases on LaLa I thought were worth pointing out: I posted the Tristen track “Eager For Your Love” a while back.

The New Weird Australia Volume Four, January 2009 sampler album is out and available for free download. Most of it is too, well, weird for me but there are some nice ambient tracks I thought might help jazz up your background noise this winterish Wednesday.
