As I write this, I am sick as hell and listening to the song “Scratches” from Dog Day’s forthcoming 7” of the same title. It’s the shiny type of song that makes you feel like you might be sticking your head out of a car window somewhere, and it’s almost June, and the light from the lake is glinting into your eyes, and daylight savings time isn’t four weeks away, and your throat isn’t coated with terrible juices. The record will be skipping in your head come March 22 via Noyes Records and is part of the Noyes subscription 7” series that includes Cousins, Duzheknew, Homo Duplex, Doug Mason, Play Guitar, Cold Warps, and We Need Secrets. 100 of each record is printed in colour (thought I am told they are half sold out now) and the rest are in black. The package costs $40 and starts shipping in late March. Whatta deal! Throw your money at noyesrecords.com.
