The Sourdrops appear to be from Orlando, Florida while Ragdoll Records is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

NOTE: Currently, Subjangle is offering both CD as part of a 4 CD-save-on-cost-and-shipping bundle (other bands are Hamlet and Nutrias). I doubt the CDs will sell out if you want to wait for individual pricing/buying. But with Subjangle, you never really know.

Indie rock, noise pop, slacker rock

It's not too often that I come across a Butterglory bootleg — or actually, I don't think I've ever come across a Butterglory bootleg. So I've gotta share this one with y'all. I liked this band a lot back in the day! They put out a couple of sweet mid-1990s records on Merge that are well worth discovering or rediscovering, whatever the case may be. At the time, they were usually slotted into the lo-fi post-Pavement category, but they had their own distinct charm, with just the right mix of jangle, chime and crunch. So! Here they are in LA right around the time of their debut LP Crumble, cruising through a pleasingly ramshackle set at the Jabberjaw. I'm surprised I didn't try to go to this show — was the Jabberjaw 18 and over? Maybe I just wasn't aware of it ... hey, it was the '90s, I don't think I'd started surfing the waves of the world wide web just yet.

Butterglory is something to seek out or keep a look out for.  While they were from Lawrence, Kansas, they sound nothing like other bands from there.  Rather, they sound like Barbara Manning, 28th Day, and Pavement.  Really, they sound like Butterglory.

I’ll attempt to do some substi-snooping while our man is away. Starting off with something old, an overlooked gem from the simpler times of 2000.  This was the first post-Butterglory solo album by Matt Suggs and it was a bold departure from his indie rock stylings of the previous decade. Really nice listen about this time of year. C’mon Merge, how about a vinyl re-ish!
