The Perm & The Skullet is a non-profit music blog devoted to bringing you music of all kinds.
Although we prefer that rustic, acoustic, unusual, whiskey soaked sound, we do like music of all styles and genres. If you have something you think we should listen to, by all mean, let us know.
All Links and MP3s are for sampling, evaluation, and introduction purposes only and are intended to provide exposure to said artist / film / site etc...
If you like it, please go buy it.
Online, we recommend Insound, emusic or directly from the artist or their label. Locally, we recommend Schoolkids Records or Bull City Records.
Most Mp3 samples are only available for a limited time, usually a week or two. If there is something you missed, and it is currently unavailable or out of print, please let us know and we can see what we can do.
MP3s, Links, and Images can easily be taken down, so if you are the owner or their representation, and would like said link or file removed, just let us know and we'€™ll be happy to do so. You can E-mail me directly here for any questions or concerns or submissions.

Quote by:
Will Oldham
“As soon as it becomes your profession to critique a book, or movie, or record then, not only do you lose your passion for it, but it loses validity for whoever you’re trying to turn it onto because they’re going to be approaching it from a consumer’s point of view, not from a professional writer’s point of view.”

XIU XIU
XIU XIU are, how should I say it, amazing. Yeah, amazing will work. I've loved their music for some time and like most music I end up falling in love with, at first it was misunderstood or experienced in the wrong context, and sometimes your life needs to be in line to get some of the things I post here.
If you've listened to XIU XIU in the past and it just wasn't your bag, I will ask you to revisit them on their latest album, Air Force. A much more excessable album, or at least from what I've heard from friends that were not as fond of their previous works, but I do agree. There is a more "song" stucture here, but the writing and instrumentation are what really draw me to the album. I thought their last album was the high water mark. Once again I've been corrected.
Check out Boy Soprano from the album Air Force below, and check out their myspace and website for a few more tracks.
