SOME STUFFS: Generationals go to outer space for new video

If you have been waiting for a new album by New Orleans’ Generationals, you are in luck for they have released their 4th album on Polyvinyl called Alix. If the press release is confident enough to call it an “immediate classic”, you’ll want to check it out to see if it’s true. You can do so below with the song “Gold Silver Diamond”.

Alix was released on September 16th, while the vinyl pressing was released today.

FREE DL: RationaL’s “A Swing And A Belt”

A song in honor of a baseball has been created by Canadian rapper RationaL and British producer Imperial, and together they came up with a song honoring Tom Cheek, the respected announcer for the Toronto Blue Jays who was honored this past weekend during the MLB Hall Of Fame game.

SOME STUFFS: Generationals do not get irrational in their music, and will prove it on their forthcoming EP

Generationals are a pop duo that sounds more like 1982 than 2012, but perhaps this show how the music of 30 years ago holds up incredibly well today. Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner will be releasing a new 3-song EP on October 2nd called Lucky Numbers, and with an EP comes a tour where they’ll be playing the new along with older material fans have come to love. New to them but would like to become a Generationals veteran? See them:

Figured it out? I would hope you know these are tour dates, and in this case it’s for the group Generationals. They released an EP almost six months ago, enough time for the music’s power to simmer and enough to make their (and your) heads glimmer. WHAT? I shit you not.
