Ode to Ponytail…
Unfortunately it looks like one of my favorite bands, Ponytail, is going on a hiatus, or maybe just plain breaking up. ( Ponytail Calls It Quits. ) I think it’s safe to say Ponytail was also one of the station’s favorite bands…we presented their show a little more than a year ago at the Echo.
I wrote something about their last album, Ice Cream Spiritual, for a class and never knew if I should post it anywhere…and if I did, what was the right time. I suppose there couldn’t be a better time to celebrate their music.

Summer Staff Pick of The Week: Ty Segall – Melted
Ty Segall – Melted
Ty Segall has got to be one of the most prolific musicians recording and performing right now. The kid has been in something like 10 different bands (Epsilons, Party Fowl, Sic Alps, and Traditional Fools to name a few) and released a plethora of songs on 7″ splits, compilations and more. Not to mention the 3 full-length albums he has released in the last two years. What is most impressive about Ty Segall (like the bird) is that almost everything he releases is solid. He’s working at a success rate of about 95% which is damn good. Melted is his latest full-length release put out by the legendary Goner Records and it is nothing to scoff at.
