Submit to Ball of Wax 58: The Ball of Wax War on Christmas!
Yes, it’s true: In over 14 years of quarterly compilation-releasing, I’ve somehow never gotten it together to do a winter/holiday themed release, and I think the time has finally come. I don’t particularly want or need this to be a … Continue reading

Ball of Wax 57: Bundy – “LOA”
Seems like Ball of Wax 57 is the volume for new music from drummer side projects we haven’t heard from in way too long. In addition to blouseusa’s “Sisters,” we have this beauty from Bundy – aka Mike Bundy, who’s … Continue reading

Ball of Wax 57 Songs: blouseusa – “Sisters”
If my records are correct (a big if), we haven’t had new music from Benjamin Thomas-Kennedy’s solo-experimental-mostly-electronic project blouseusa since volume 22 – a good nine years ago. This was when the project was called Blouse (u.s.a.), but after it … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 57 Songs: Annastasia Workman and Colin Ernst – “Cosmic Bees”
This sweet and groovy little number was written by Cafe Nordo music director Annastasia Workman, and produced and performed by our old friend Colin Ernst. According to Colin, Annastasia wrote it for Nordo’s adaptation of Tom Robbins’s Jitterbug Perfume. It’s … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 57 Songs: Virgin of the Birds – “Saint Ursula”
Our dear friend Jon Rooney is back after his longest BoW hiatus in quite some time (has it really been a year?), and he’s brought us a perfect, less-than-two-minute nugget of Virgin-of-the-Birds-iness. Eighth-note chords chugged out on acoustic and reverbed-out … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 57 Songs: Drew Danburry – “1996, For Luke Graham, Ryan Hibler and Aaron Mickelson”
Everyone’s favorite singer-songwriter/barber/fraudulent teen Drew Danburry is back after what feels like a long hiatus (or at least a long hiatus from my inbox). It’s been a couple years since Drew brought us “Mediocrity, for Denis Villeneuve (who is amazing … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 57 Songs: Holly and the Dead Saints – “Journey into Death”
Grumpy Bear side project Holly and the Dead Saints – which I believe is primarily, if not entirely, our old pal Lattney B – returns with the uplifting pop-dirge “Journey into Death.” Lattney makes good use of the classic lo-fi … Continue reading

Ball of Wax 57 Songs: Medejin – “World’s Fair”
Our new friends Medejin are back with their new single “World’s Fair,” which they’ve graciously allowed us to include on Ball of Wax 57. Where their previous contribution, “Untitled 4,” was slow and contemplative, with lots of empty space and … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 57 Songs: Sex Hogs – “Bricks”
Our newest volume starts off with an appropriately summery track from Northern California trio Sex Hogs. “Bricks” is warm and breezy, like a perfect sunny day, with just enough grit to remind you you’ve been sitting in the sand all … Continue reading
