The Current Takes You For A RideNobody & Mystic...
The Current Takes You For A Ride
Nobody & Mystic Chords of Memory "Decisions, Decisions" - I always feel a little bit strange for enjoying so much music that is obviously designed to accompany drug usage when I myself do not take any drugs at all, unless you count over the counter headache and stomach medication. This song practically smells like marijuana smoke with its wispy flutes and mellow psychedelia, but thankfully music does not in fact have an odor, because I would have to crack open the windows or just turn it off. (I cannot find any site for this album, or a site selling it. The Rough Trade site for Mystic Chords of Memory is not particularly helpful, nor is the MySpace site for the frustratingly Google-proof Nobody.)
Times New Viking "Not High" - Midheaven says: TNV successfully skirt the current homogenization of the rock press pigeonhole. Neither are they new-weird-america, nor are they new-noise-underground. I suspect Times New Viking are at the forefront of a new, yet-to-be defined movement. It's only a matter of time though. And when that time comes I want to be there. My shrine needs a motherfuckin' name! I say: Isn't it clear what this is? It's nü-fi! It's so obvious to anyone who enjoys fuzzy, quasi-primitive, incoherent pop rock recorded on terrible, terrible equipment. (Click here to buy it from Midheaven.)

I don’t know which album that’s from, but Nobody has collaborated a few times with Mystic Chords of Memory (which is basically Chris Gunst from Beachwood Sparks/Strictly Ballroom). They have a Flaming Lips cover on one of Nobody’s albums and a Monkees cover on another.

The album is called “Tree Colored See,” and it’s going to be out soonish. The problem is that there’s almost nothing in the way of info or links on the web right now.

Wow - Is Times New Viking a font reference? I’m trying to imagine what it might look like on the page…

I think “Times New Gallic” or “Times new (Visi-)Gothic” would be more on-point…

Yeah, it’s a reference to Times New Roman.
I drink occasionally, and I’ll have caffeine in beverages, though I never ever drink coffee. I don’t like coffee.

This song is from the album, Nobody & Mystic Chords of Memory present Tree Colored See. It will be released in the spring on Mush Records in the US, Rough Trade in Europe, and And Records in Japan. We have not serviced promos to press yet, which is why you don’t see much on the web. You should start to see a bunch in the spring after it gets serviced to press.
thanks - Mush Records

Re Times New Viking: Maybe they should play with Timesbold? And who should DJ? Why, the host of our site…named after yet another font.
