1. The Raveonettes :: Pe’ahi I love when a band you love has a new release out that you had no idea was on the horizon, but then you wake up on a New Release Tuesday, and there it is waiting for you to devour. The album’s title, Pe’ahi, comes from a popular surfing spot near Maui, and the first released single, Endless Sleeper, has been said by Sune Rose Wagner to be “…about a horrific near-drowning experience I had in Hawaii some years ago.

I could hop into the analyst’s chair and surmise that this need comes from “Daddy issues“, and my lack of a positive male role model in my life.
