Listen with No Rock: Nada Surf

Coming shortly from Nada Surf is an album which records their March 2014 Seattle gig. They're thrown us a bone in the shape of this track:

Downloadable: Nada Surf

For now, the Nada Surf covers album is only available if you go to Nada Surf show. But come June, shut-ins and people-who-had-tango-class-the-night-Nada-Surf-came-to-town will be able to buy the thing in shops.

In the short term, Electrocution - originally by Bill Fox - is available for sampling downloadage.

Nada Surf doing some covers

Of course, there's double standards. A middle market artist does an album of covers, and it's a lazy stop gap. If someone with a shred of credibility turns in an record full of other people's songs, we applaud and gurgle with delight.

This delighted gurgle is at the news that Nada Surf are about to release If I Had A Hi-Fi. They work through stuff by The Moody Blues, Depeche Mode and Arthur Russell. Of course it'll be interesting. It should even be better than that.

It's like Eggs And Baker for a new generation

Rock stars and cooking - they go together like ballet dancers and removing supporting walls. With the exception of David Van Day and his chip shop. That is, until now, and Blip.TV's cooking with rockstars.

Here, Nada Surf invite you to do some cooking:

Here, as a taster, is the sublime Always Love:
