Oakland's progressive doom band Secrets of the Sky released a fresh song entitled "Sunrise," which is just a taste of their much-anticipated debut LP To Sail Black Waters (dropping early autumn).

Also on the new release tip is Meat Market, who unveiled a scrappy, rowdy one called "Too Tired," which boasts not one but TWO guitar solos. I was tired too until I started listening to it. Better than Red Bull. Better than a 5 Hour Energy shot at 3 pm. [via The Bay Bridged]

Seriously, does Ty Segall ever sleep? Does he eat? Does he do anything besides make and play music?

You can hear the ensuing anguish in his latest work. [via NPR]
Influential KMEL DJ Chuy Gomez, who's been on the decks for more than 20 years at the Bay Area hip hop station, was let go this week–though no reason has been given for the parting of ways. Local rappers and fans are understandably confused and pissed. [via SF Weekly]
