Sorry, Red Sox fans. At least you made it further than the Yankees did this year...Now, please enjoy this Sunday mix tape. Wait, before we begin, I want to take a moment to recognize Swan Fungus reader Bennett for his amazing attempt at trickery. After making a generous donation to the website, he was the proud recipient of one of my now-infamous "Thank You" care packages. His parcel included a mask, some weird little trinkets, a Rod Stewart backstage pass from a '70s or '80s tour (I don't remember which), and -- best of all -- a really [...]

Jätkan vastustega oma augusti keskel esitatud küsimusele. On ehk juba selginemas, mis värk on. Igatahes: Kolmapäeval, 17. septembril, esineb Tallinnas Von Krahli baaris New Yorki avant-hardcore'i lipulaev Black Dice. Black Dice on oluline osa viimastel aastatel muusikahuviliste tähelepanuorbiidis olnud eksperimentaalsest Brooklyni skenest. Just nendega oli esimest korda tuuril ka näiteks Eestis käinud Animal Collective, kes Black Dice'i oma eeskujuks loeb. Black Dice'i peetakse heliliseks piiridelõhkujaks, nende looming on andnud hardore- ja noiserockile uue tähenduse. Bändiliider-vokalist Eric Copelandi nõuanne Black Dice'i kuulamiseks on oodata ootamatut. Black [...]

Black Dice at MassArt Truman Peyote at MassArt Peace N Loving at MassArt Sitting in traffic on 93 for a half an hour made me miss the first band Peace, Loving entirely. I came in just as the lights were turning on and they were packing their stuff up. Oh well. Worse things have happened. As the next band was setting up, I got to do some people watching. And it was exactly the type of [...]
In honor of their upcoming performance at MassART this Friday night, I thought I'd post a Black Dice video. This is "Kokomo" off of Load Blown . Good stuff. The video is a weird brain-fucking-collage type thing. Not unlike a Dan Deacon video. Click here for some info on the who/where/when of the show on Friday. If I can get down there (or rather, get back home) then I'll probably go. Maybe I'll see one of my many faithful followers there.
Monday: Six Organs of Admittance @ Knitting Factory 8pm $12 I have some tunes from Six Organs of Admittance on my iPod but each one of them is listed with the dreaded 0 listens next to it. I don't know why I've never listened, enough people have talked about them I guess I just haven't gotten around to it. Anyway, you may be wondering why I'm recommending a show for a band I've never heard and

I know it's already August and it has officially been summer in New York City for at least a month, but the summer is so full of stuff to do in this town that "summer" still seems to be on the tip of everyone's tongue. If you don't mind humidity that would make even a stoker blush, then you can find your way to tons of free and cheep happenings in all 5 of the Burroughs. Even on Staten Island. As I sat with friends from California and [...]

This seemed totally worthy of mentioning, for the yanks anyway. D.F.A. Records, the label that has brought you: Black Dice, Hercules & Love Affair , Hot Chip , LCD Soundsystem , Prinzhorn Dance School , Shit Robot , Shocking Pinks , and many more artists, is looking for interns in the New York area. I like to think a normal day as a D.F.A. intern would ensue bringing James Murphy coffee, researching analog storage mediums , and finding new ways to incorporate lighting bolts/diamonds/robots/rainbows /4 letter words/more disco into the [...]
The mercury is going to be high as is the humidity this weekend. Don't let that deter you from getting out a checking out some shows. A couple of festivals are happening this weekend. In Baltimore, the all weekend party known as Whartscape is going on with the likes of Celebration , The Mae Shi , Black Dice and Beach House , just to name a small few. Elsewhere, in Arden, Delware is a more laid back festival, [...]
Kokeellisen indie-musiikin suurimpiin nimiin kuuluva Black Dice esiintyy syyskuun 15. päivä Helsingin Kuudennen Linjan Uusi Aalto -klubilla. Vuonna 1997 Rhode Islandin taidekoulussa perustetun yhtyeen alkuaikojen räjähtävä hardcore-noisepunk-kaahaus ja väkivaltaiset live-esiintymiset ovat vuosien mittaan vaihtuneet pidempiin, psykedeelisiin kaariin sekä villisti rönsyileviin kappalerakenteisiin. Trio yhdistelee musiikissaan vallankumouksellisesti tanssibiittejä, dubia, hip hopia sekä noisea ja imee vaikutteita myös etnisestä musiikista, minimalistisesta teknosta, psykedeliasta sekä tropicaliasta. Yhtyeen luomat äänikollaasit ovat 2000-luvun aikana saaneet runsaan määrän seuraajia, mutta samaan aikaan Black Dice on uusiutunut jokaisella julkaisullaan. Yhtye kuuluu Animal Collectiven, TV On The Radion, Battlesin ja Gang Gang Dancen [...]
