What to seek out in record stores in February!


Tonight, I'll be debuting two killer new albums that oughta get you fumbling for your asthma puffer -- Keep It Hid from Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys) and a collection of previously unreleased tunes called The Unlistenable Years from early '80s pyro noise duo, Toy Killers. Auerbach's sweaty release is a must-have, friends. It bleeds raw, emotive blues fit for the music library of any chronic insomniac or heartbroken listener. On the other hand, the Toy Killers' fun collection of outtakes from 1980-84 is a chewy piece of post-punk, no-wave instro candy. Yum! Two very different albums, but both dynamic gems that are completely worthy of your turntables and CD players.
