Below is a new track called "Serum" from Kurt Vile‘s collaboration with longtime pal Robert Robinson, a.k.a. Sore Eros. It will appear on a three-song EP entitled Jamaica Plain that was actually recorded ten years ago when the two first met and just recently surfaced.

Tonight Drexel University’s WKDU continues their month-long curation of Tuesday Tune-Out at PhilaMOCA with a great lineup of up-and-comers featuring Modern Baseball and Radiator Hospital‘s Sam Cook-Parrott. Modern Baseball is a young, local four-piece that will actually make you happy about the resurgence of emo/pop-punk happening in music these days. Their tunes are uber catchy, which made it not so surprising that their LP Sports received the reissue treatment from Run For Cover Records. And you should already know how I feel about Sam Cook-Parrott’s brilliant lyrics and tunes. Let’s just hope that he didn’t forget that he’s performing at Tuesday Tune-Out this evening and schedule himself for work again like last time. Yeah, I showed up for that one. Both acts will be performing acoustic sets so be prepared to get intimate. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $5, All Ages – Q.D. Tran

Come escape the workweek with us!

Here’s a new video from the inaugural Double Decker Music Series (October 1, 2013), an intimate mobile concert experience and city tour on an open-top double-decker bus, which was hosted by Sebastian Petsu and featured Charles Cohen and Birdie Busch. It ran into technical difficults along the way, but that only addded to the experience. Special thanks to videographer Bob Sweeney for sharing his footage of this unique event.
