A quick intro to Slumberland: we're a tiny indie record label that started in 1989 in MD/DC and has resided in Oakland, CA since 1992. We've mostly focused on indiepop but SLR has also released power-pop, punk, shoegaze, post-punk, etc. Stubbornly uncool.

In California, the right-wing tech billionaires behind Trump are funding a gubernatorial candidate named Matt Mahan.
Leading the pack: Joe Lonsdale, the Palantir co-founder who recently said the USA should resume public hangings.

Rocketship, A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness, (Slumberland, 1996) - Section26
On a beau avoir eu l’impression de faire ça toute notre vie et que finalement, cahin caha, on aurait pas un peu fait le tour de la question que la notion de trésor caché, comme le reste de l’actualité, pourrait devenir à plus ou moins long terme, navrante.

Been reading and totally digging Saskia Hollings’ “You & Me Against The World.” These bands were my heroes at the time and their scene seemed to cool and remote, it’s fascinating to dig in now and see they were a lot like us. But way cooler.

Ebo Taylor, who did for Ghanaian music what his friend Fela Kuti did for Nigeria, has been called the greatest rhythm guitarist in history.
His son Kweku Taylor:
“The world has lost a giant, a colossus of African music, leaving behind an unmatched artistry legacy. Dad, your light will never fade.”

Listening to Joel Cusumano's KPISS show this week and he dropped a lovely Mono tune, reminding me about the sleek 2step remix that came out on the "High LIfe" 12". A very good era for remixes on pop records!
