I called the Parenthetical Girls (pictured above) song “Eveyln McHale” my favorite single of 2010.  Part of their five EP Privilege series, the song was a dark glitter tribute to the dead face which adorns the “saddest photograph ever.”

Since that moment, I’ve become obsessed with the band, and get excited with the announcement of each new release.  Yesterday’s latest, a blues stomper called “The Pornographer,” did not disappoint.

Listen: Parenthetical Girls – “The Pornographer”

• Fuck yes, Todd P: “The hope is to bring a home back to Manhattan for esoteric free jazz performance.”  The NYC indie promoter on his upcoming space in Manhattan.

• Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (Lichens) remixes the W-H-I-T-E single, “Fountain.” Pretty much the most beautiful thing I’ve heard today.
