A couple interesting releases this month on Kill Rock Stars:

The Delta 5 (from the late '70's-early '80's) are finally being re-released January 24 on Kill Rock Stars:

The influence of the Delta 5 in music today is not hard to find-- Tim often will play "Ice Cream" by New Young Pony Club after playing the Delta 5's "Mind Your Own Business."

More no wave (love the no wave sax in the background), but with a bit of Delta 5-ish vocals is "Clean Up," by Die Monitr Batsss, just released on Kill Rock stars as a split 7" with Les George Leningrad:

I'm a bit addicted to this track.

You can make your record collection just a little bit cooler by buying the split 7" (with "Monster Klaw" by the fabulous Les Georges Leningrad) here:

From the KRS website:

"DIY disco is the new hip-hop as skinny kids from coast to coast make a ruckus and paste a beat onto it. At the forefront of this spiny groove revolution is Die Monitr Batss, a Portland-based three-piece featuring Nathan from the Gossip on guitars and vocals. These worker bees bring us sweet, noisy nectar straight from the dancing queen bee."
