Somehow, we forgot to put this cat scratcher DJ deck in our Holiday Gift Guide.
Sharon Van Etten, ‘Serpents’
Our first preview of Sharon Van Etten’s forthcoming LP, Tramp, is here — complete with a taste of the notable collaborations set to appear on the guest-laden set. “Serpents,” an Aaron Dessner-recorded tune that sets the vocal’s emotional arc against a building, turbulent backdrop, features Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner, drummer Matt Barrick of the Walkmen, and Doveman. You can stream the promising cut above and download it over at Pitchfork.

Wow. How lame do emails seem after seeing this.

Download: Stephin Merritt - “Forever and a Day”
Magnetic Fields mastermind Stephin Merritt announced a forthcoming collection of rare recordings appropriately dubbed Obscurities, which includes five previously unreleased tracks, three of which were co-written by Lemony Snicket author Daniel Handler for an incomplete science fiction musical the pair penned called The Song From Venus. One track, “The Sun and the Sea and the Sky,” didn’t make the cut for the Magnetic Fields’ breakthrough concept record 69 Love Songs because, according to Merritt, “it wasn’t actually about romantic love.”
The 14-track Obscurities set arrives on August 23 via Merge, but today you can stream the ukulele-backed track “Forever and a Day” above and download it here.
Final product: simple math. (Taken with Instagram at Oakhurst)
