We've made no secret of the fact that we love this label, and true to their ever-stellar form, their latest batch of singles are all absolute must-owns, both from sonic and aesthetic points of view. Since you've undoubtedly heard us sing their praises in the past, let's just get to this latest batch of killer tunes. read more »]]> http://www.thefader.com/2009/05/06/the-singles-collection-naked-on-the-vague-nice-face-timmys-organism/feed/ 2 http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/29/the-singles-collection-gary-war-personal-the-pizzas/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/29/the-singles-collection-gary-war-personal-the-pizzas/#comments Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:17:39 +0000 Derek Evers http://www.thetripwire.com/?p=22002 The Singles Collection, and not wanting to shaft our good friends at Sacred Bones, we're going to bump them back one more week (we swear this time) so we can give them their due and proper. But, on the plus side, we do have at least one SB-related artist this week, so it's not completely a wash. Anyway, so much time and so little to do -- strike that, reverse it -- let's get onto the singles. read more »]]> http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/29/the-singles-collection-gary-war-personal-the-pizzas/feed/ 0 http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/23/new-music-thursday-gary-war/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/23/new-music-thursday-gary-war/#comments Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:01:04 +0000 P.

Hopefully you enjoyed last week's video sojourn into the realm of Sacred Bones, one of our favorite labels, but it's back to doing what we love around here, mainly, giving you the scoop on 45's that are currently rocking our world (and that we think will rock yours). So without further adieu -- and so we can all get to our Cadbury Creme Eggs as quickly as possible -- let's get to it. read more »]]> http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/08/the-singles-collection-teenage-lovers-city-center-jeffrey-novak/feed/ 0 http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/01/the-singles-collection-video-installment-on-sacred-bones-with-zola-jesus-max-elliott-and-dead-luke/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/01/the-singles-collection-video-installment-on-sacred-bones-with-zola-jesus-max-elliott-and-dead-luke/#comments Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:56:53 +0000 Jason Jackowiak http://www.thetripwire.com/?p=20322 The Singles Collection for you this week, one that's less focused on prattling on about wildly obscure 7" slabs of wax and more concerned with letting you lot in on exactly what goes into running one of the best labels around. While at SxSW a couple weeks back, we were able to corner the crew from New York's stellar Sacred Bones Records -- label owner Caleb Braaten and artists Zola Jesus, Max Elliott and Dead Luke -- so they could give us the lowdown on what it takes to become one of the finest purveyors of the phonographic arts, how artists and labels find one another, and anything else that happened to come to mind. read more »]]> http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/01/the-singles-collection-video-installment-on-sacred-bones-with-zola-jesus-max-elliott-and-dead-luke/feed/ 0 http://www.thefader.com/2009/03/30/fader-the-freak-scene-with-zola-jesus-and-emeralds/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/03/30/fader-the-freak-scene-with-zola-jesus-and-emeralds/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 23:24:04 +0000 Derek Evers http://www.thetripwire.com/?p=20212 FADER have a bi-weekly column written by Jamie Johns called The Freak Scene.
