Lindstrom FACT Mix

Looking back, Lindstrom has become a kind of soundtrack to our lives. We’ve blasted his laid back work with Prins Thomas on a roof in the summer, we’ve listened to Schnipper talk about how, when he slowed down Where You Go I Go Too, it might have jammed even more, and we’ve passed his upcoming can’t-believe-this-wasn’t-recorded-in-NYC-in-the-early-’80s collab with Christabelle around the office like a coveted bootleg. It seems like dude is always there. Also ubiquitous are these FACT mixes, which often provide a window into the minds of some of our favorite bands and artists. This time around we learn that Lindstrom has been listening to a bunch of Black Sabbath (surprising), some ABBA (not surprising) and that he is generally “a sucker for music with drum machines from the early ’70s.” (really, really not surprising). You’ve maybe heard a bunch of these songs before, but now they’re re-contextualized and coming straight from Lindstrom’s brain to our speakers.

Video: The Jesus Lizard Brightens Up Pitchfork Music Festival
- story Rosemary Simon
We made it to Union Park in Chicago this past weekend just in time to catch a sideshow of indie rock babies, an unwelcome whiff of global warming, and of course, the 4th annual Pitchfork Music Festival. We spent most of the cloudy, spring-like weekend watching known FADER favorites The Very Best, Beirut, Grizzly Bear, Wavves, Lindstrom, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart etc, but the real highlight of the entire thing was The Jesus Lizard.
We’re not usually big on reunion shows or scrotal showcases, but David Yow brought back his intense, zig-zaggy stage swagger minus the “Tight and Shiny”— doing push-ups on stage, giving the audience hula lessons, spitting everywhere and diving into the audience within the first three seconds of the show—with grand mastery. We caught a little bit of it on our Flipcam—watch closely for some ancient hula styles and Yow’s tiniest fan taking stage diving notes from the sidelines.

Freeload: Lindstrom + Prins Thomas, “Rothaus (Groove Edit)” MP3
- story THE FADER
Masters of stoner dance jams Lindstrom and Prins Thomas linked up to record II, and are releasing “Rothaus (Groove Edit)’” into the wild. It is ideal for all the things you might do while relaxing. While the dudes might occasionally dip too far into the doobie disco well and coming out impenetrable, this song succeeds on its live drumming—the perfect accompaniment for when you’re sitting in a lawn chair and really want to dance by subtly shifting your feet side-to-side. It’s a non-movement movement!
