Sound Advice 35: C-Monster
We are pleased to present our 35th installment of Sound Advice featuring C-Monster. This mix was lovingly crafted by C-Monster and San Suzie, the brain trust behind the arts and culture blog C-Monster.net. C-Mon, otherwise known as Carolina A. Miranda in real life, is a freelance writer based in Brooklyn, who covers a variety of important-sounding stuff. San Suzie, a.k.a. Rosa Lowinger, is an L.A.-based sculpture conservator and author of “Tropicana Nights: The Life and Times of the Legendary Cuban Night Club.” (Buy it.)

Mudhoney, Into the Drink
I’ll Be John Brown
We’re not quite sure how to describe I’ll Be John Brown‘s music. It’s like almost Psychedelic Speed Country, if that makes sense? Have a listen over at their site, and if you’re into it, they’ll be playing a show at Spike Hill in Brooklyn this Sunday night.
