Endless Dismal Moan - S/T

1 Sep 2008 In: Albums


2004 - Blackmetal.com
Man, so I just found today that Chaos9 killed himself (Yeah, I’m sort of late on the news) and it’s a huge bummer. He made some of the best black metal ever. In tribute to this Japanese mastermind, here’s his first full-length album. It’s my favorite of everything Chaos9 has done. I read a really awesome EDM review once where someone described it as the black metal soundtrack for Ringu; so dead-on. Click here to download this.

Sorry for the extreme lack of updates. I have been working SO MUCH lately and just don’t have time for anything. I am reviewing a few albums right now and a few people have sent me stuff to review also, so thanks a lot for that. If you would like me to listen to yr stuff/give you a shoutout (no matter how good/bad I decide!), e-mail me! I think I’ll upload a ton of Sparks albums in the forum sometime soon and stuff. I got that new Fabio Orsi & Valerio Cosi colab and it’s okay. I might upload that due to how impossible their releases are to get; although, I read Fabio is doing some “SWEET DEALS” on the internet so check that out wherever you may find him.
Till next post, holla’.

The Okmoniks - Party Fever!!!

20 Aug 2008 In: Albums, News

2008 - Slovenly
Haven’t posted in quite some time so I thought I’d throw this up on here. Justin of NoBunny plays drums on this bad boy (You also might find a track on here familiar), and Helene’s singing and organ shredding is super fun and catchy. Garage punk/pop stuff from TUCSON. Click here to download this bad boy (Yes, I think I’m going to use sharebee for now on. That is until I remember what this new upload site I found is called. It’s amazing and I lost all my bookmarks Any ideas?).

Okay, so I am going to start uploading to the forum now. Today I upped the new Cloetta Paris album and I’ll be sharing a whole lot of stuff there without feeling restricted for now on. Feel free to share what ya got. I have other plans for this site. I’ll be transfering MOST of the stuff on the front page to the forum, and then see what goes from there. BIG PLANS YOU GUYS.

 

Time to listen to Feederz and then go to work. Tell yr friends.

Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes - Ame debout

31 Jul 2008 In: Albums


1971 - Philips

I just moved and don’t have internet yet (cruising at a cafe); I uploaded this before I left so I would have something easy and enjoyable to upload without having another hiatus. SO HERE WE GO.  This is a pretty fantastic album with some of the best psych-folk/prog in all of France. Catherine Ribeiro’s echoing voice, epic guitar progressions and picking patterns, scattered with oddball ambience. Thanks to Maxime for reminding me of this! Click here to preview this.

So like I said, I don’t have internet and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to post again! I think I’ll just bring my hard drive with me to the cafe tomorrow or the next day and up a ton of stuff. I just got that new Antonia Leukers album and it’s been blowing my mind the past couple days, so maybe I’ll upload that next.

Wet Hair - Wet Hair 12″

26 Jul 2008 In: Albums


2008 - Night People
As requested: This is pretty neat. I mean, it’s not the greatest thing Night People has put out in a while but it’s okay. Distorted drone and not so distorted other experimental stuff. Bold in some parts and weak in others. Click here to preview this and click here to support these bros.


I got my 88BoaDrum tickets in the mail today.
Kind of weird seeing that Nike is sponsoring it but whatever, it should be pretty fun. SEE YOU THERE.

Runhild Gammelsæter - Amplicon

22 Jul 2008 In: Albums

2008 - Utech
Here’s an interesting one. Runhild Gammelsæter is usually noted for being the vocalist of Thorr’s Hammer and Khylst, but here she brings all of her past vocal techniques to the table in one gruesome, avant-garde, black metal tale of doom. Basically Diamanda Galás with a lot of growling. Runhild also works as the Manager and Chief Scientific Officer at Nucleotech and has a Ph.D in cell physiology. Pretty awesome. Preview this here.

I haven’t updated in approximately two weeks! I’m moving into our new house this Friday and haven’t had a chance to update at all. Lately I’ve been listening to the new Wet Hair lp, new Josephine Foster album, and that Zola Jesus 7″ that just came out. Maybe I’ll post those next? I don’t know. I’m pretty sure I’m going to switch full album uploads to the forum section once I hit like 65 - 75 albums. I think I’d feel a lot less restraint in posting things and there’d be a lot more variety that way. It’d also be way easier to do requests and what not. I’m going to use the blog portion for mixtapes and something that I’ve been planning/signed onto for a while.

Skip James - 1931 Sessions

8 Jul 2008 In: Albums

2008 - Mississippi

Mississippi Records brings us another sweet compilation of radical blues tunes. Skip James was always my favorite early blues artist due to how much he could shred not only on the guitar, but the piano, and a variety of other jug band instruments.  This album has a mix of both piano and guitar pieces and each song transitions so well into the next. Preview it here.

I’ve been really busy with family matters but I’ll try to get this more frequently updated ASAP. I think I’m going to try and make the next post a MEGAMIX of some sort but I’m not sure. I finally got my Cheveu record in the mail (from A-Pop) but it’s kind of warped, picked up a Mammatus lp and a Selda album too just recently. Holla’.

Fag Cop - I’m Fucking Dead 7″

28 Jun 2008 In: Albums

2008
GARBAGE PUNK. Here we have six NOISY, LOWW-fi, fast, and super aggresive tracks full of FIST PUMPING ACTION. I don’t know what else to say about Fag Cop; they’re loud and fun. Download.

Here’s a taste of how rad they are with, ATTACK OF THE KILLER BONG RIPS:

Robbie Basho - Bonn Ist Supreme

27 Jun 2008 In: Albums


2008 - Bo’Weavil
Oh, man! This is a pretty wonderful release Bo’Weavil has put out. Robbie Basho being the masterful guitar-instrumentalist he was, live in Germany, 1980. This unreleased session is pretty crazy. In the way that Basho was able to go all out with his guitar, and then suddenly come back to Earth like it was nothing, is simply amazing. If the first two tracks don’t pull you in, I don’t know what will. Great stuff. Click here to download.

Be sure to check out my pal M.T.’s blog, Honeyteeth. He’s just getting it started and could use your support, as well as the other folks in my links section. If you would like to exchange links, be sure to holla.

2008 - Mississippi Records
Jason requested this so here you go, buddy. One of the only things keeping me from hating on Portland is Mississippi Records. They always have a pretty rad consistency of great releases. This compilation is full of guitar-based tunes with a very Brazilian/Tropicália feel to them, from all around African (Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, etc.). This is really nice; Take a listen for yrself.

Cheveu - Cheveu

2008 - S-S Records

Edit: Okay, so this sold out at S-S, and it looks like he isn’t doing a repressing, so I’ve decided to upload this again. It’s pretty hard to find copies of this right now and I’ve been getting a ton of e-mails asking about it so here you go, internet. This is one of my favorite bands. These guys rule. French lo-fi rok & rolll. How many of you guys actually got your copies of this from S-S? I never received mine; I am getting a copy from a small US label instead. Well, anyway: Listen to this.
