Hinde Roughi is one of my buddies. I adore people who drive their art out into the extreme depths of the universe – and Hotdoggrrl and the Sesame Buns is an extreme expression of art, if your preferred art is debauched raunchy songs of love and perversion and failed love – backed by the most […]
Best of the underground, week of March 24, 2020: Perhaps our strangest episode so far, recorded entirely live from the road to nowhere, in which Cinnamon cries and John jumps into a freezing lake #mood (All podcasts and reviews are on, www.hlycrp.com, and you can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and Spotify, […]
I’m feeling sweary – probably cause I have mood swings from being locked inside my house while the world falls apart. But this is fucking good. This is all I need – kicking off with a snide snicker and then bringing this fuzzed out guitar garage rocker goodness. I love the repetition of “I’ve got […]
Floating Action is my white whale – not least because Seth Kaufman lives two miles away from me, is a session musician for people Lana Del Rey (they mistook my kindness for weakness) and Dan Auerbach, and everyone in the area thinks he is the greatest.

Just the nicest people ever – Jenny Don’t and her friends shared “call of the road” with the Musicians for Overdose Prevention collection. The country western guitar plays straight wounded classic riffs and Jenny’s voice is pure honey. She can’t stay with her love – because the open road is calling. Don’t we all know […]
Best of the underground, week of strange St Patrick’s day, 2020: Cinnamon creates and then raps to a geese beat. Can John REALLY crack walnuts with his butt cheeks? (All podcasts and reviews are on, www.hlycrp.com, and you can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.) Artists! We like […]
White Oak Splits guys are great – and this song is the musical marriage of the raw garage sound of Velvet Underground’s “White Light White Heat” with the all-American pastime of making it in the back seat of an automobile. On the previous album the White Oak Splits dug into an Allman Brothers sound – […]
This is the perfect pop song. Just over a minute long and there isn’t a second of this banger that isn’t fun and catchy and so true. Do what they say! There is beauty in the brevity. Do what they say! Like The Ramones every moment is a gem of exquisite trash and f*ck you […]
What matters only at the end of the day? This dreamy pop song – this beautiful art – this matters at the end of the day. To me it still feels pretty – even though I feel low. Cinnamon says this song is “Garfunkley” – and what she means is this vocal line is so […]
