The Oedipus Project
Before we move into the new year allow me to suggest the free download from Spin.
24 tracks from 2011 including Deer Tick, EMA, Fucked Up, Kurt Vile, Zola Jesus, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Phantogram, and Wild Flag, all heard here last year.
Also featured is Yuck, the quartet from London, who made their debut in 2011.
“Shook Down’ is from their self-titled LP.
Nevermind, the Nirvana album that helped define a generation, will mark its 20th anniversary in September.
In celebration and to honour its brilliance, Spin has compiled a free tribute album of contemporary artists performing the 13 tracks in original song sequence.
Meat Puppets, Titus Andronicus, the Vaselines, EMA and dear friend Amanda Palmer are a few of the artists included.
Download the album via Spin’s Facebook page and listen now to Amanda’s version of “Polly”. She does have a way with a cover song: thoughtful, respectful, insightful.

EMA is short for Erika M. Anderson.
She moved from South Dakota to LA when she was eighteen, taught herself guitar and played in a couple of bands before going solo.
Her debut album is entitled Past Life Martyred Saints.
“California” is a single and video from the album. “Milkman” is a free download.
