On August 22 Chicago’s fuzzy-retro-rock band The M’s will be re-releasing their self-titled debut album on vinyl (Polyvinyl Records). Along with the album comes a bonus 7″ of the Isley Brothers‘ song “Tuning In, Turning On, Dropping Out.”
Below are mp3 links to both sides of the 7″. It is one long, feedback-laden song broken up into two parts.
“Tuning In, Turning On, Dropping Out (Part One)” – The M’s
“Tuning In, Turning On, Dropping Out (Part Two)” – The M’s
Name: Heather Browne
Location: Colorado, originally by way of California
Giving context to the torrent since 2005.
"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

David Twattlehoff to Jeff Buckley. Is that the music equivalent of an oxymoron?

i wrote a little about them before:
this chicago set really know how to bring it. They take Kinks-era britpop and fuzz it the fuck out. It’s all about bringing swagger to the modern sound, and these guys have perfected it.
i fruggen love this band, and this blog
