<p>We don’t mean to get too late-aughts music blogger on a Tuesday up in this shit, but it seems like Psymon Spine are hellbent on crafting vibes rather than just making music. The Brooklyn electronic psych-pop group dropped new album Head Body Connector via Northern Spy Records way back in February, and apparently the vinyl version included a sweet little mood nugget called “Sugar.” Never one to shy away from pleasing people on the dance floors from here to Spumoni […]</p>

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new song by South Minneapolis-based Texture Freq! The song is called “Golden Pavilion” and is off their upcoming EP What May Come. Speaking about the song lead singer Jimmy said, “Golden Pavilion” subverts hardcore’s typical psychic landscape of aggression towards others into a protective space of reclamation. Masculine aggression and posturing has always served as an ego defense, but it isn’t often thought of that way. Being a man who dates and fucks other men, the mental gymnastics can be insane. Ostensibly liberated, we act out towards lovers because of something unresolved or simple toxic masculinity until the only option is to close in on oneself… The title reference is to Yukio Mishima’s Temple of the Golden Pavilion, in which a young Buddhist acolyte chooses to burn down the temple, everything he’s known rather than address his insecurities or nascent sexual desire. Sound familiar? Mishima was, at least publicly, a repressed queer. What if we were honest with ourselves and each other, even and up to our (justified) rage at this life? It’s exhausting trying to retain a sense of self when everyone’s got an agenda and opinion about what your body and identity “mean,” even the people closest to you. But then you find the right person, who you can level with, “let in,” and everything changes…What May Come will be out everywhere on September 6 via Dirt Cult Records and you can pre-order the EP right here. Listen to the song below!

<p>Editor’s Note: As the summer wears on, and the earth continues to melt a little more each day, it’s becoming abundantly clear that the best place to be is indoors – like comedy clubs and theaters. The good news here is that comedy is still coursing through the veins of The Commonwealth even as the temperature rises and the humidity keeps things soupy, so you have plenty to do while also evading the heat. With homegrown talent, national headliners, and open […]</p>

Sadly, Chon Travis of Love Equals Death has passed away. No cause was given, but the band did issue a statement: "It’s with heavy hearts we tell the world this news: Yesterday at around 5pm, England time, we were getting ready to leave our hotel for our show in Stafford. We hadn’t heard from Chon in about an hour or so. He wasn’t answering his phone and we knocked on his door for 10 minutes before the hotel staff let us in. When we opened the door we found him on his bed with his guitar and unresponsive. We administered CPR for about 15 minutes before paramedics arrived. They continued to attempt to revive him. After another 45 minutes or so they let us know that Chon had passed. He did not use drugs and was in very good spirits for this entire tour. We are obviously in a complete state of shock and trying to figure things out right now. We will have more to say in coming days but right now we are asking for privacy as we process this and try to navigate our way back home. Please keep Chon’s family in your prayers.“
