This fourth Not For Resale mix has been a while coming (though not as long as last month’s Dwyer one!), so much so that it may have already missed the boat; although that’s not to say that Chillwave’s star is descending just yet, it definitely has a lot of plateauxing to do as it gathers new fans.

Seems to be a good time to post this, even if I wanted to make it a bit better like. I just wanted to get there first! A couple of threads are asking for this to be the answer, so here it is in a thread of its own, and quite rightly so.
BEHOLD! Your genre for the…

I have posted the third mix in my Not For Resale blog's continuing series of 'em, and it's a pretty special one; especially if you're into Garage Rock and more specifically, John Dwyer. It has taken me ages to track down something recorded from all his bands. It's been a real labour of love this one.

This mix coincides with the release of John Dwyer’s Nth record release as Thee Oh Sees, but that’s just coincidence. I started this almost a year ago, got sidetracked, and now I've managed to…

We had our third amped up SwännS))) rehearsal on Monday; a big 4 hour session working on distilling the ideas from the previous sessions and restructuring them into different songs. We have a 20 minute ‘set’ piece we’re trying to get together and a few other ideas that won’t fit so, so in all we had about 10 song/pieces.

In this track we were working on a bit of a darker bass riff, trying to creep ourselves out with some sinister electronics – so it’s called Avian Argento; Download from Last.fm or Bandcamp:
