MD - Pretty Faces (Nate Trinrud Remix)

Actress, singer and songwriter, Marisa Duchowny, of New York's The Rabbit & The Hare, layed down an acoustic version of this track, which was then picked up and remixed by friend and actor, Nate Trinrud.

Inspired by a set of babez and beautiez during an audition and the desire to become 'known amongst a crowd of faces', Marisa jotted down some lyrics where she threatens to use "guns and bombs if her voice isn't loud enough!!!" Though this track is soft and slow (and, lyrically, may be a little less enticing for a more edgy set of ears), it gradually picks up intensity and peaks around a min-and-a-half where it then becomes an infectious and melodic anthem for anyone who is trying to make it amongst the masses.

[MP3] MD - Pretty Faces (Nate Trinrud Remix)

Marisa Duchowny and bandmate, Neill MacCallum, can be found singing together as The Rabbit & The Hare later this month at New York's RAW event May 24 at M1-5. And though these two started up as a folk duo, there's talk about exploring a more electronic route in the near future.

Raw Thrills - You Baby (mp3/video)

A little ray of sunshine
A little bit of soul
Add just a touch of magic [mering]
and BOOM! You got the greatest thing since rock 'n' roll

One of my fav things about Zak Mering is his ability to emulate anything he chooses by manipulating his voice and sound, and mixing layers out of his quirky-and-creative-role-playing-self. BUT, of course, it doesn't stop there—he doesn't just play copycat, no, no, no—it's his own Magic Mering touch that leads what was once familiar into something new and strangely awesome. This unique individual—and I'd like to stress, individual—can quickly transform himself from a single Shredder (Turtles reference...duh) to a twelve-legged athlete on any given night—leaving you in awe while his voice takes laps around the track.

So with that said, I'd like to place you at the starting line (------) for this next zak-a-trak; here's his (their?) latest cover of the Turtles, You Baby............(just for You Baby).

This is off his 2nd LP, entitled, Sick Steez (...Sixties?), which also features a collab with Ariel Pink, and is set to be released thru our fav Japanese label, Sixteen Tambourines, this spring.

Skeechie Skeechy Bryan of Casino Gardens, Dolphin Tears, etc., and Colin of World Series has teamed up with Roberto Clemente Rookie Card to bring us a set of corrugated collectibles under the name, Rollerblade.

In addition to that, Bryan's expected to drop another CD-R on the label, Beer on the Rug for the [just] digitally released album, Reflections on Waterfront Property, under the moniker, Dolphin Tears, in a limited edition of 30. This also includes a poster by this bowley-ball-blader-babe, himself.

Here's a video for the release.

And in other Bryan F. newz: Bryan confirmed that the name, Simulation Fucked—that's been floating around—is, in fact, his new Art/Poster and CD-R label that he plans to use for self-releases, as well as ones of his friends.

Lastly—though, I could go on—here's a little preview of an upcoming Casino Garden's split cassette, due out in a few months (more details to come).

Raw Thrills - Please Let it Happen to Me [MP3/video]

Using footage from one of my favorite live videos from the 60s, The Temptations - My Girl (which you may have already spotted at Coco's bday party), as well as some other timeless b&w film, Zak Mering, aka Raw Thrills, brings us an up-to-date Joe Meek-inspired classic. Well, kind of... this was actually recorded in 2009 but he just decided to dig deep into his music archives and unearth this love gem.

Hold me now.
