The Weepies Cover Bruce Springsteen (on ukulele)
This is why Born to Uke may be perfect for me. Born to Run is the epitome of Springsteen the stadium rocker, but Born to Uke has various artists limiting their versions of the songs from Born to Run with only ukulele, bass, vocals, and percussion. The first up is The Weepies with their take on "Backstreets." They strip it down to just vocals and ukulele, and the result is exactly what I want with my Springsteen. It's a down to absolute basics folk song without even a shred of pomp or huge rock star. This I can get into.
You can listen to The Weepies's version of "Backstreets" below. Born to Uke will also feature Born to Run songs performed by Sara Watkins, Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls, and more. All proceeds will benefit Little Kids Rock, which funds music education in underprivileged schools. For more on the album, be sure to head over to www.borntouke.com.

[[ GROOVES N JAMS S.O.T.Y. 2018 ]]
[ nO. 20/50 ]
“Mileage” by Playboi Carti ft. Chief Keef
DV:
Unexpectedly one of the year’s most romantic songs, “Mileage” is mostly Carti free associating and delivering the hook - luckily, it’s stickier than honey and nearly as sweet. Luckier still, when we do get a verse it’s from Chief Keef at the top of his game, mixing his metaphors for a laid back but unforgettable feature. Credit where it’s due, though: this is producer Pierre Bourne’s triumph, a song driven by a beat that packs one hook on top of another. From the main synth figure to the layered vocal adlibs to the shriek that works like an exclamation point on the whole thing, the exuberance and earworms of “Mileage” are driven by that production.
MG:
I’m about to do that worst kind of writing, the kind that asks questions and then excuses itself from the room. I don’t have answers, just stuff I’ve been thinking about and it really has nothing to do with “Mileage,” so I hope you weren’t expecting that either. When I listen to this song I sometimes to often think about Miley Cyrus. Does she know she’s here? What does she think of the way her name is used? I think it’s fair game because she’s still more recognizable as a singer than as an actress and she seems to put more work into navigating the former career and that career is indisputably where it’s at because of her work with (or from, perhaps) black people, most specifically Mike WiLL Made-It. She opened the door, not just as a pop cultural moment, but as someone who wanted something from rap music, and she walked through it. But what if she doesn’t like “Mileage”? What if she objects to the juxtaposition of her name and the number of times someone’s had sex? I think it’s unlikely that she does object but I also think…sure. You know, our name is our brand and we want to control how that brand is marketed and this is currently off-brand for Miley Cyrus. So maybe she doesn’t like being included here. What then? This is where the debate I’m having with myself ends and I dip out. I wonder what anyone is owed, if anything.
“Mileage” is kinetic and wolfish. It has nothing to do with Miley Cyrus, her name simply fits the bar. I think Carti deserves a little more credit because his sing-song “okaaaaaay” is what makes us think of love.

Records I Like Podcast December – Best of 2018
55 tracks in my best of this year. Were they the best tracks in 2018? For me yes as they gave me plenty of plays, thoughts, meaning and enjoyment. Looking at the 55 choices my tastes have certainly changed this year. I have listened to Techno a lot more this year. Almost as much since I started listening to it 25 years plus ago and I was amazed that artists from then are still making some amazing tunes.
Coldwave influenced post-punk gets stronger or maybe it’s because I am listening to and discovering more. Epic Shoegaze has also featured highly and I wish some of the selections lasted longer than they do. Finally indiepop shows no sign of giving ground in my listening habits. It’s a varied bunch as the top 15 demonstrates:
15: Haiku Salut – The More and Moreness
14: Vonda7 – Babcia (Original Mix)
13: Night Flowers – Hey Love
12: Otha – I’m On Top
11: Parsnip – Feeling Small
10: Jeanines – Hits The Bone
09: Primitive Lips – Image of Truth
08: Molchat Dolma – Volny
07: Andrew Younker – Thankful
06: Bootchy Temple – Lady Sunshine
05: Lightfoils – Summer Nights
04: Fashionism – Come Oh My Baby
03: Jetstream Pony – Self-Destruct Reality
02: Tracy Thorn – Dancefloor
01: Ricky Hell – Nela Park

2018 in Review: EPs
I’m a year older. So is everyone I know. The Warriors have another championship. Sea levels are rising. Each day brings new horrors to America’s increasingly sad and bizarre political stage. Time continues its inexorable march forward.
Then again, some things are exactly the way they were at the end of 2017! Yet again:
- It’s the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
- I’ve spent the year tracking the albums I listened to (125 in total this time around) via a shoddily organized spreadsheet.
- I’ve waited too long to start turning that spreadsheet into best-of lists.
- I’m using last-minute panic as fuel to finish those lists, which mean more to me than they probably should.
Without further ado, let’s get this retrospective party started with a handful of alphabetically ordered EPs that I particularly enjoyed this year, starting with a two-parter that I recommend highly if you haven’t heard it/them yet:
Jackie Cohen — Tacoma Night Terror Part 1: I’ve Got The Blues
Some albums feel like fully formed universes — like you’re being invited to join something vivid and different that’s already in progress and has been for some time. That’s how it felt first encountering Jackie Cohen’s music via Spacebomb’s communication channels. From the off-kilter album art that accompanied Tacoma Night Terror Part 1 to the EP’s sound, which immediately called to mind the girl groups of the 1960s but felt more gothic and organic, somehow. It was one of those exciting “I don’t know what this is, but count me in” moments. To this day, it still feels like I’m entering and exiting a world when I start and finish this EP. Not something you come by often.

Jackie Cohen — Tacoma Night Terror Part 2: Self-Fulfilling Elegy
When Part 2 of the Tacoma Night Terror project was released, I started getting my hopes up about an eventual vinyl release that would compile both parts and bring the whole project full-circle, literally and figuratively. Vinyl Me Please to the rescue. The subscription service named Cohen a VMP Rising artist and pressed the Tacoma Night Terror set to gorgeous purple and blue vinyl. Its arrival and time spent on my turntable have provided a fitting sense of punctuation to a musical thread that’s run throughout my 2018.

The Fearless Flyers — The Fearless Flyers
Following along with the release of the Fearless Flyers EP was my way of peering into the greater Vulfpeck universe and looking around a bit. I’m really glad I did, because this is an exceptionally fun and funky set of songs, with a top-notch cover of “Under the Sea,” drums by the great Nate Smith, and a guest spot from Blake Mills, who contributes truly filthy slide guitar to the Flyers’ version of “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” Take a listen:

Panda Bear — A Day with the Homies
This got the 2018 party started on my end. Released January 12. Exclusively on vinyl, so no sample tune to share. I find that a good measure of how the year went is looking back at the first album you really dug into in the new year and thinking about how long ago that feels. It feels like this record was release about 12 years ago. It’s a good one, though, and I’ve brought it out consistently when I’m cooking dinner and in a good mood. It’s not that the music is aggressively buoyant or anything; I think the title has really shaped my perception of the music, as has the fact that I can only listen while at home — where I tend to be more distracted and less able to zoom in on lyrics.
–
Moses Sumney — Black in Deep Red, 2014
“Rank & File” is one of the year’s best songs, and it may not even be the best song on this three-song EP. (Don’t sleep on the wordless “Call-to-Arms.”) I’m so glad Sumney decided to share this brief collection of tunes, which have thematic roots in 2014, when a grand jury decided against indicting the police officer who shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. I wrote about “Rank & File” in RVA Magazine earlier this year, and I zoomed in on one lyric in particular: “If we make you nervous, what is your purpose?”
That question calls attention to the mangled power dynamics at work during protests like the one Sumney attended in honor of Michael Brown — complexity that finds a musical parallel in the song’s time signature.

Melbourne indie alt-rockers The Belair Lip Bombs 'Rip It' on EP lead track
Words: Linn Branson
Melbourne indie alt-rock four The Belair Lip Bombs may be fronted by sweet-looking vocalist/guitarist Maisie Everett here, but she sure as hell can rip a tune, as heard on this fuzzy gem of a lead track, 'Rip It', from their November released self-titled debut EP.
Their fierce, sharp punk/psych-garage rock fusion is more than worth a listen for its tight control on rolling riffs and strutting guitars against the indomitable Ms Everett out front.
Catch them live on December 29 at Young Street Supper Club in Frankston, Victoria.
