How to Shop on Discogs (or, How I Discovered a Side Project of The Brian Jonestown Massacre)
Alright, so there’s really no one way to do pretty much anything under the sun. That includes “How to Shop on Discogs” — there really is no RIGHT way. But this post is about how I shop and how I recommend shopping on the music marketplace platform.
It’s also about how this method led me to discover a side project of a band I deem to be one of the greats: The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Best Album of 2015 So Far: Eternal Death’s New Self-Titled LP
I see quite a contradiction here. Elin Berlin is the face behind Swedish blog Youth Knows No Pain. In it, for the most part, she seems to maintain a sunny and bright disposition.

Hayden Drops New Single, “Hey Love” – New LP out Soon!
My love of Hayden’s music goes way back. Back, in fact, twenty years to his sophomore release, Everything I Long For. I’ve always been a fan of his mopey Canadian folk rock. As a twenty-year career will do, his sound has evolved quite drastically. Still with a hint of sadness, modern Hayden tracks are more produced, much cleaner, and with an elevated sophistication that comes with age and experience.

Unlikely Friends Release Solid Gold Cowboy on Jigsaw Records
Let’s take a trip back in time. The year is 2006, and FensePost is only a few months old. I stumble upon a newly relocated indiepop artist called BOAT. The band moved from Chicago to Seattle and landed a spot on the Magic Marker Records roster for their debut LP Songs That You Might Not Like. Around the same time, via the twee-favorite Matinee Records imprint, I discovered Seattle indiepop band Math & Physics Club. Read More »Unlikely Friends Release Solid Gold Cowboy on Jigsaw Records

New X-Mas Tunes by Nicholas Krgovich of No Kids & P:ano!
Holy !*&%( It’s the Holidays Already! That means it’s been around three months since I last posted on FensePost. Not good. Very bad. Coal for me this holiday.
