This week's #ThursDeath is the excellent new death/doom LP 'Gore Furnace' by Montague, Massachusetts' WORMFACE. I've been listening to a lot of this. Released just last Friday, I'd been psyched for this one. It didn't disappoint. Eight grody tracks of sludgy, deathy riffage. Love the vocals. The drums. Just all of it.

NEW-TO-ME MUSIC ACTS
Mastodon Post

Some of the new-to-me acts I really like are

<> Rachel Croft, a YouTube suggestion that worked out really well
<> Southern Avenue: I heard a track on WRSI and bought it right away
<> The Staves: it seems to me I have bought every Staves release except for one and I'll probably go back for it
<> The Wolff Sisters (with Dick Curless's grandson on drums): a new favorite out of Boston
<> The Hillbilly Moon Explosion when the woman sings. Since this hillbilly outfit is Zurich-based, the vocalist could be singing in a third language.

Twisted Pine has a new album released today titled "Love Your Mind."

The featured track, "Goosebump Feeling" is quite good; but the following track, "Chanel Perfume" ft. Ali McGuirk is even better.

I've also gone back to the great Bettye LaVette.

CARLA RYDER BAND
"THREE MONDAYS GONE"
Mastodon Post

Three Mondays Gone
Carla Ryder Band - Topic

As far as I recall, I have never posted anything by Carla Ryder. So, here goes. Of those Carla Ryder Band songs I have heard, this is my favorite.

The first time Carla Ryder came to my attention, she was a member of a Massachusetts cover band, the Mudhens. Since then, she has been both a rock singer-songwriter and the leader of the Carla Ryder Band. Ryder is also in the group, Miriam, with Amy Fairchild.

Jonathan Richman wrote four songs that are standards for many alternative rock bands. In possible order of frequency played, they are 1) "Road Runner," 2) "Pablo Picasso," 3) "She Cracked," and 4) "Astral Plane." "I Wanna Sleep in Your Arms," too, is an early Modern Lovers classic.
