Win Ty Segall’s $ingle$ 2 Compilation on CD

You thought Manipulator was the money album of the year? Think . . . AGAIN! 2014 ain’t done yet, and$ingle$ 2 is here. And this time, it’s for the money. Two times! As all of the ears that have heard what Ty’s been putting out for the past five-ish years already know in their tiny l’il ear-brains, our kid’s got any number of places that he’s coming from, and putting them all into his rock and roll music is what he’s all about! Which is cool. $ingle$ 2 sweeps out the ashes of the breakneck days (and nights!!!!) of 2011–2013, and burns down the house all over again in the process — but not by accident. Sorry…

$ingle$ 2 slinks low and flat-out sprints behind the scenes of the Goodbye Bread — Twins — Sleepertrilogy (no it isn’t!), collecting all the now-out-of-print sides that totally work amazingly well together when placed back-to-back-to-back as an album. The super-deadly ‘Spiders’ single is spun again here in full, along with the epically pop b-sides for ‘I Can’t Feel It’, ‘The Hill’, and ‘Would You Be My Love’. Plus there are tracks for other righteous labels too (yes, Virginia . . . ) like Permanent, Castleface and Famous Class.

Covering The Groundhogs, the Velvets and GG Allin, Ty reps for a good array of punk godheads too. Between the covers and the originals, $ingle$ 2 is also a run through the SF 388 scene circa 2010–2013, with various local heroes like King Riff, Mike Donovan and Ty himself at the board. Sure, there’s the knotting up of all the loose ends for the heavy-breathin’, AADin’ freak-fans — but $ingle$ 2 is really about the rush of getting a single for the a-side and then finding a total sunshine jewel like ‘Children of Paul’ or ‘Mother Lemonade’ on the flip. Or a stone-solid jam on a classic, like the COMPLETE retooling of ‘Femme Fatale’. Or hear­ing the Mackay-style sax bleatings of ‘Fucked Up Motherfucker’, and it fucking YOU up too! Closing the album with the seemingly unlikely (‘Music for a Film’, for REAL) and the seemingly inevitable (‘Pet­tin the Dog’, a mighty hardcore slamming of the lid) cleanses the palate for . . . what? Another spin, prob­ably! $ingle$ 2 has been designed to withstand obsessive flipping.
