fucked up got ambused zipped in - repeater +3 songs

This is the first FUGAZI album I ever bought. I got it at Warehouse Music during their 3 used trades for 1 new thing. Yeah I'm old. I know this record from opening note to final verse and when my musical taste shifted in my teens from this to that "Repeater" never seemed to leave my record rotation. I still pound the hood of my truck and sing "WE OWE YOU NUTHIN! YOU HAVE NO CON-TROOO-OLLLL" and I'm 28 years old. I imagine most of you have this if you own any of their other works. I was just thinking to myself "what would be the last band to try and sue our asses if we posted their album?"

I don't have the hubris to think anyone from this band would frequent our blog or even lurk beyond the post of a splooged Christina Hendricks, but I'm paranoid. It's a scary time for the internet and getting worse outside in the real world. I'm not putting my tin foil hat on or anything but the future is kinda bleak. Kinda cool mediafire told the government to go fuck themselves but we will see how much longer they continue to allow "sharing". This record and it's subject matter are still as relevant as was it was in 1990 so I urge you to give it a good listen... while you still can. MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!

Now buy things from Dischord Records.


keep it real dudes

re: debutante debris

apologies for not posting here more, gentlemen. but, on the other hand, there ain't much new music i'm passionate about. and that's what's good about this blog. people post what they need to. it's not a bunch of twats posting everything they've heard just in case that band one day becomes recognizable so they have dated proof in hopes of credibility or to brag about the size of their fanhood. ha, ha, ha, i made that up on the fly. anyway it's concise and cool and to the point. merry christmas.

Cotton Jones- Tall Hours In the Glowstream (2010)

This album is worth it for this song. A couple other gems in there if you feel like wading through. Have fun being folksy.

lost highway soundtrack

I'm posting this just for the song "red bats with teeth". Leave it to Angelo Badalamenti to make David Bowie, Trent Rezgnar and Lou Reed feel so underwhelming. The song gets a brief cut in the film but the swaggering build up makes it so good. Good movie, great soundtrack.

tell me somthin good

First push play on the video below.

I haven't heard anything good all year. Whats your "BEST OF" so far this year? I really want to use the Philip Rivers Rating System again.

Fucking Jahvid Best isn't playing Sunday so my 6-0 lead is about to slip.

Fantasy Football is just D&D for jocks.

Shameless self-promotion.

My stupid band's stupid music. I'll spare you the picture.

Listen

Michael Nesmith- Magnetic South (1970)

So you like you some Townes and Hank Williams. Some Prine and some Red Headed Stranger... well this is up your alley.

Really well crafted tunes. Classics that you may not have heard. The only Monkee that had a lick of talent. Joanne is a gem. Have fun out there. Be safe out there.

Here's how you download it free- just go to the bandcamp link, under digital album click buy now, and just enter 0.00. It will send you an email and ba-da-bing.

This is the way our band decided to give it out. If you feel like paying you can.

Either way listen to the songs and comment here. Thank you.

Lunar Maps - Lunar Maps

I don't have a digital copy of my own, I'll say sorry now, but this is too good not to share with y'all. When vinyl is ready I'll be purchasing that. This is Ex-No Knife members playing some seriously great Bauhaus-ish Indie. I would honestly say it's just a product of Bauhaus and No Knife. Tracks 1, 2, 4 are my favs. You can listen to it here or at the bandcamp page. Spread the word.

we love you casey

sometimes i think i was born in the wrong decade.

It's been a while

Requiem Metal Podcast got me digging into these guys again.
Yeah, I know
They're "Nu Metal".
I don't give a shit because they're a good band with consistently good-to-great records. If you disagree, then we can fight or whatever.
They are the only Nu Metal act that were influenced more by The Smiths, PJ Harvey, 4AD, and Mo Wax than Tool or what-have-you.

Back to School

Renee-Louise Carafice - I Will Raise a Bird Army

Renee is a singer/songwriter with soul. The lyrical content is personal with an eye for the odd, and not always kind-spirited—a welcome change. The sound is quiet to match this, keeping any flaws in view and not hidden by production or a wall of noise. The end result is incredible. Basically this is what Joanna Newsom would sound like if she stopped being an excessively whimsical and self-indulgent pig and knew when to end a song. I even enjoy the cellphone photo cover of the album.

dl

Antony and the Johnsons - Swanlights

New Antony sounds like old Antony which is great but the sound would be better suited for some deviation at this point. Perhaps it's a grower. More description later.

dl

Lucky Soul - A Coming of Age

This is a great album if the idea of a loungey, punchy, jazzy, delicate flower female-fronted pop band appeals to you. It does me. You know why? Because it appeals to my inner sensitivity and is less embarrassing than listening to men in corpse paint. In a more perfect world, we'd only the woes of social mishaps and lost loves as referenced lyrically here. The emotion range here is limited from "sorta sad you're gone" to "happy just to have you around," and while not deep, it needn't be, because it's done well and it's fun.

Masskontroll - Will You Ever Learn?

A rare find in quality rip (256kbps). Not that audio quality really matters, since all the songs sort of blend together after a while, but yeah, welcome to underground music. A bunch of angry men from portland make some genuine punk rock. For whatever reason, this album stuck with me. Perhaps it was the newspaper story about about a young man with a Masskontroll backpatch putting his head over some train tracks and killing himself. That sums up the music appropriately.

Celer - Brittle (2009)

The new Boris sounds like 30 Seconds to Mars so here's some stupendously depressing drone from 2009.

ALL THESE "O's" IN MY CHECK

I'M THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Est 9 billion lost just cause a bunch of steakheads won't play 18 games a season. Last season Antonio Cromartie had to get a $500,000 loan from the Jets to pay child support.

I'm listening to 400 Blows - Black Rainbow what are you listening too?

What are they doing in the dream house?

Follow-up to TV Sky.
Here, we find the The Young Gods dialing back the hard rock (Kissing The Sun is the solid exception) while ramping up the atmospherics/sound design. Swirling washes of white noise and sampled water droplets push this album nearly into new age territory (which I'm into).
Includes another extended Doors-esque jam.

dl

I'm a gasoline man

After The Young Gods released an album of Kurt Weill songs, they vowed never to sample outside material again (their previous albums featured walls of guitar– all sampled from other records). TV Sky was their first record after that promise (and just in time for a major label contract...). If I remember correctly, Franz Treichler recorded himself playing different electric and acoustic guitars and then sampled those recordings to compose the material (reminds me of Portishead on their second album: they recorded several jam sessions, test pressed those to vinyl, scuffed up the pressings, and then sampled bits and pieces to put together the record).
Includes Summer Eyes, a "driving song" in the tradition of The Doors' many extended album cuts.

Slowdive- The Soulvaki Demos (1993ish)

Hey look it's the demos from everyones fave gaze band. These are special. These are a treat. I like this collection as much as Soulvaki itself... in some ways more. Don't sleep on this until you listen, then you may take a cup of tea and a nap. I love you all.

If you've never heard this great record, now's your chance to right your wrong.

it's time to rock.

Weed Diamond - Sweater Kids (2009)

This album right hurr sounds like the Pixies if they went into the studio with Brian Wilson and Kevin Shields. "Psychedelic Stonergaze" if you will. Dangerously catchy, fuzzed out and reverb ridden hooks will sink in and stay for days in your head. Sucks these Denver dudes just called it quits last month :(

dugga dugga dugga dugga DAN dan DAAN

In 1986, Billy Laswell took a break from rocking it and wearing knit hats to produce some rock acts. That's not quite accurate, really. Bill's been producing since before he was a baby. He dropped out of his mother holding a bass chorus pedal, hat and everything.
His usual niche is Downtown music with guys like John Zorn and so on, but he blew up huge after his Herbie Hancock gig, so everyone wanted a piece of him (exhibit A and exhibit B). My guess is that this record was part of his scheme to become the third Was brother. Around the mid 1980s, Bill started producing a couple of hard rock records every year until the 1980s ceased. He's also half responsible for this.

So, what to say about this one?
It's a Motorhead record.
It's called Orgasmatron.
Bill makes Lemmy plug his bass into a chorus pedal.
The drums have crispy gated reverb applied.

Second (wikipedia says third, but I don't believe it) Meat Beat Manifesto record.

Witch Cross - Fit for Fight (1984)

After seeing an old friend recently who has this buttcheek-laden album art as a full back piece, I was forced to remember what an amazing album this is. 1984 Denmark rock and fucking roll. Thrashy, wild, amazing harmonies, and vocals that just kill. Every part of this album is so catchy it's ridiculous.

dl

The Verve - This Is Music (1995)

I first got this album with one of those "buy 10 cd's for $0.99" in a Wizard issue and wrote it off as an Oasis rip off. I think Richard's solo work is Bantha fodder but on this one the band earned continuous listens from me. This is what a major label act should sound like from the UK: the melody and feeling of Oasis' better ballads
with a splash of slick production all while keeping the flanged over reverbed wah guitar. If you have it you know, if not GET DOWN.

dl

Wild Beasts - Two Dancers (2009)

I still love this album. It was a hipster flavor of the week like two years ago or whatever but it's really good. The first time I heard it was in the background of a small party I was at and it really caught my attention. Just unbelievably catchy stuff. Slightly queer British guys playing real groovy/pretty, highly and starkly sexual dancey-guitar pop-whatchamacallit stuff. Playing this album, I'm pretty sure, is responsible for me getting to suffocate myself in the (ignorably) weird vagina of the hottest girl I've ever been with. We were in love for as long as this was playing. Not all girls can take the high tenor voice thing seriously though, guess I am a lucky one.

dl

Shinki Chen

Here's Shinki Chen & Friends. Japanese psychedelic from the 70s that I'm sure is purely entry level fare. It sounds like falling down a mindshaft into a bed of pillows. Yeah. That's the stuff, brother man.

dl

Iron Claw-Dismorphophobia

This straddles that line between proto-metal and psychedelia. It jams, brother man.

Vinyl rip, unfortunately a bit scratchy, but it sure adds character.

HAPPY NEW YEAR POSTERS AND FOLLOWERS ALIKE

Anal Cunt - Fuckin' A (2010)

Haven't heard anything new that's cool enough to post or bad enough to nuke so here's a new addition to my disc rotation. No I don't have an aux port/mp3 set up, still burning cd's and nearly side swiping fearless pedestrians who dare get in my way as I change from one disc to the next. I'm getting so fucking lazy I don't even label them anymore and will go through 8 - 10 discs at a time till I hear a song or band I want. This album continually wins the daily changing of the disks. I know it's stupid. I know it's not noisegrind. But it rocks. Fuck I think this is the best guitar sound they've ever had on an album. Sounds raw but not cheap and loud but not a mess.


I'm also scrapping the P.R.R.S. as the Chargers are the first team in NFL history to assist the other team win. Norv Turner is blackmailing AJ Smith. It's the only logical scenario I think of where you trade Drew Brees, LT, Michael Turner(ATL will win the Superbowl), fire Marty and keep the coach sinking your franchise.

Hammer-to-the-head

Swiping an [edited] allmusic entry because I'm lazy.

With a name as sleazy and low-down as the music itself, Easy Action is the debut of former Laughing Hyena/Negative Approach vocalist John Brannon's band of the same name. Following the chronology from Negative Approach through the Hyenas to Easy Action, Brannon has more or less remained the same, touching on the same blues- and hardcore-based topics of loss, the futility/inevitability of drug use, and desire. Sonically, this album is an amalgam of Negative Approach's hammer-to-the-head aggression, and the Hyenas' more nuanced blend of punked-up, blues-based laments. -Patrick Kennedy

Ooh, I do hate when a music writer has access to a thesaurus.

I want you - you're mine

A collection of "psychotic love songs" by Diamanda Galás with John Paul Jones. Jones, a big Galás fan, contacted her about something or other. They ended up hitting it off (musically) and wrote a record together.

To date, this is still Diamanda's most accessible record.

Angles - Epileptical West: Live In Coimbria (2010)

My friend Dan turned me onto this and its been the best thing I have heard in a long time. Heres a little background info that I didnt write:

Swedish saxophonist Martin Küchen condensed his various experiences (he played in the circus and busked on the streets) into equally various musical projects. Maybe he is best known, at least in Slovenia, for his powerful jazz quartet Exploding Customer, but he also plays more experimental music for theatre and performances. In his "Angles" Sextett, comprised of some of the best Swedish jazzers (members of Atomic, School Days, AALY etc.), he delivers energetic, but also emotional music on the junction of traditional and modern jazz.

Everyone thank Dan for this one

The Godfather before he was The Godfather.

This is a late 80s compilation designed to showcase James Brown before James Brown became super-bad, ice cold, etc. etc. It kills. It might not be the funk he's known for, but it still slays. Dig it.

Three Townes albums.

Hey. I got a bit busy and I figured I'd make up for obscurity with volume. You know Townes Van Zandt. Here's 3 albums you may or may not have. Here's three albums I feel you should have irregardless. High Low and In Between being my favorite. If you want anymore, I have 8 other albums that I'd love to share.
