They released my favorite album of 2014, and they are just finishing up their new one. But they released the first single for pre-order and free streaming on Soundcloud. And it is amazing: https://soundcloud.com/soundway-records/fumaca-preta-la-trampa RIYL: Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa

• The Red Buckets stuff is just what I could find online—only 4 songs.• Only listening to the bonus, non-album material on the UT record—Legacy Edition.

Yup. That was the catalyst for DeRo choosing the Red Buckets tune for his pick.

Actually found a few tracks to DL here: http://tapewrecks.blogspot.com/2013/01/red-buckets-cover-your-eyes.html Still need to find a digital copy the "Xacto Knife/Palm Sunday" 7-inch. (I have no working turntable and do most of my listening at work and in the car, anyway.) Bueller?

I only have one of their albums (Feels Like the Third Time) and I dig it bunches. Looks like I'll have to put some into my Spotify queue today and check out other albums.

My Yelp review:

So, on Sound Opinions today, one of the Desert Island picks was a song from a Hoboken band called Red Buckets. Yes, that was who Yo La Tengo was singing about on their song "The Ballad Of Red Buckets" and I had no idea until today. Anyway, they played a song and it was great. Any of you have any of their albums? Know where I can pick some up? Nothing on Amazon and I can't find any downloads at blogs or anything either. Little help?

Yup. A lot of those are gone now, but there are still quite a few restaurants.

I am going to the "Friends and Family" preview opening tomorrow night -- invitation only. Here is the menu:http://chicago.eater.com/2015/11/4/9663052/ballaro-opening-menu-highwoodBe jealous.

Yup. Great record. Just listened to that one yesterday.
