hotline miami

I just played some of the Steam game "Hotline Miami" and the music seriously rules.. One of the songs was contributed from Late Night Noise favorite Sun Araw...

Yellow Loveless

In all the MBV-mbv hubbub, this other important release may have been missed.

Yellow Loveless is a My Bloody Valentine tribute in the form of a track-by-track cover of the album Loveless, which you may have heard of, by some stellar Japanese bands, such as Tokyo Shoegazer, Shonen Knife, and of course the mighty BORIS as seen below.  Look around for it I guess.
