A Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Polyvinyl Celebration

A music friend recently asked us what our favorite LPs were during Calendar 2015. We of course included the superb The High Country by Polyvinyl artists Phil, Will, Tom, and Jonathan, perhaps better known as Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. SSLYBY have been popping up at our blog since early days, and they certainly got us soaring with THC.

We wanted our friend to be able to experience THC in its entirety and found it available at Bandcamp. But holy shiksa what else did we find but a veritable treasure trove of Polyvinyl product, both for sale and for name-your-price download!

So here's what we're doing. First we gather our favorite widgeted SSLYBY nypers, post 'em, and then round up some of our other favebands for a second, maybe even third post. Even before all that, though, we pop in an old-fashioned mp3 of a fun collab by SSLYBY & another long-time faveband, Telekinesis. It was posted here, but the other songlinks have gone "poof" and you certainly don't want to go read our blather. So, ready? Left click to listen, right click to Save as. . ..








Oh, yeah, and here's the fabulous THC. Buy buy, seeya soon.

Telekinesis: Car Crash

We're only countin' 8, but math ain't our forte. Hep us, MBL!

Telekinesis - Car Crash mp3

from forthcoming 15 February release
12 Desperate Straight Lines
on
Merge Records

Maybe you've noticed (total absolution if not) we've been nicely moved by Seattle band, Telekinesis. We've posted some and bought more, enjoying each and every musical moment we spend together. We wouldn't yet call ourselves desperate, but we are very much looking forward to the release denominated above. You can listen/download the other free and legals we've posted here. Feel free to buy anything you like at that Amazon mp3 page, but the band we're lauding is found in Items 1, 2, & 3.

A Telekinesis/SSLYBY Joint

Hey Jealousy


We love both these bands and faced a profound blogger moment quandary ("blogmoqua," as it's known in the business) as to which bandname should come/go first. We hope neither will mind (and won't, as neither will notice).** Anyway, the song was a joint venture just prior to recently hitting the road together, and we think it's superswell. ("Interesting" observation: After seeing numerous instances of the acronym SSLYBY, we noticed that if you ssnakily ssay the first two letters, it kind of rhymes with "flyby." Ssaves a lot of time talking to myour hipster friends.)

It was also nice to learn about Chicago powerpunkpoppers Green in the bargain.

Here are a couple of wonderful songs we've previously posted by the two groups, along with infolinks and purchasepoints, all of which we've heartily, greedily, and happily employed.





By the way, I recently found another excellent--ready to practice??--SSLYBY song, "Think I Wanna Die," at last.fm. I tried posting it again here at Powerpopulist, but it had "issues" with the Yahoo Media Player widget. I've posted it here at a ridiculous little blog I set up a few years ago to tie in with a couple of posts I'd done in our blog's infancy (or toddlerhood).

**No telling what kind of jealousy won't break out when they don't see the relative sizes of the paired pictures up there.
