New SSLYBY - "I Am Warm & Powerful" (Acoustic) & Inside The Rockers Studio

Someone Still Loves You's Broom remains one of our favorite releases of this/last year for its perfect blend of Beatles-and-Elliott styled bedsit, lo-fi indie pop. And for the vinyl freaks out there, you can now get this charming album to spin on your turntables, including an acoustic version of "I Am Warm & Powerful." But the band knows not all of you are audio quality nazis, so here it is for you in all its mpeg glory.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - "I Am Warm & Powerful" (Acoustic) (MP3 Link Expired)

As for Philip's Inside The Rockers responses, we're with him on both counts of Cobain. (We promise we're not being sarcastic.)

That's Pittsburgh with an "H." Unless, of course, you're talking about Pittsburg, CA. Fuck those guys.

Missouri indie pop on Stereogum. This makes me smile.

Shortstop for the Reds? If Philip can hit .250 and steal a base now and then, he could probably have that job tomorrow. I bet they'd even let him blast "Moist Vagina" in the clubhouse.

You should really search out their first ep; in my opinion, it's even better than "Broom." This track is on it, too.
