A few San Francisco releases to look for today. New hip-shakin’ from Tommy Guerrero, who for as long he’s been making killer music I still cannot think of without hearing him crack “He’s got his own milk carton!” in Animal Chin (thanks to Aidin at MusicSF for the tip on his new album). A not-so-new but free EP from Painted Palms, who are actually an SF/New Orleans outfit via cassette-collaboration. And a bonus, a brand-spanking new release from the Monome maestro, Edison. Enjoy thoroughly.
