Don't get too excited by the headline, folks; this actually sounds like bad news. I was disappointed when the line to The Boredoms was insanely long on 7/7/07, and when they just weren't slated to play the NYC show with 88 drummers on 8/8/08, yet it was still sort of billed a Boredoms show (the tradition was kept alive properly in Los Angeles). Now it looks like the 9/9/09 show may top the crappiness of the previous two experiences. Okay, okay, I know, I know. I shouldn't be a naysayer before details are announced. [...]
via bumpershine's photostreamOK, fine, this kid rules Last year, when the Boredoms announced 88BoaDrum--the lame, limp sequel to 2007's 77 minutes, 77 drummers, on 07/07/07 blowout, 77BoaDrum--we una... Continue reading "Dear Boredoms: Quit With the Fucking Gimmicks, OK?" >
After two prominently mind-bending, drum-heavy experiences on both 7/7/07 and 8/8/08, Japanese noise-benders and otherwise psychedelic misfits Boredoms aim to up the ante with a nautical performance, to take place during a six-minute solar eclipse. Badass! The band, who certainly know how to make a concert feel like a gut-wrenching burst of sheer astronomical fury, have booked a Russian ferry for July 22nd, when this century's longest solar eclipse is set to occur. The band have once again enlisted Gang Gang Dance to assist with the performance, which is being dubbed Lucy in the Sky With Diamond Ring tour. [...]
Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore described All Tomorrow's Parties festivals recently as "the ultimate mixtape." He's better with words than we are. No, not really. Warp Films has announced today that on September 23rd, they'll be releasing All Tomorrow's Parties , a "DIY concert film" that features live ATP footage culled from the festival's young history, one that includes performances by Daniel Johnston, Battles, Sonic Youth, Patti Smith, Portishead, Belle And Sebastian, Animal Collective, Iggy and the Stooges, Mogwai, Grinderman, Slint, Grizzly Bear, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Gossip and The Boredoms. Directed by includes contributions from Jonathan [...]
The Singles Collection is contributor Jason Jackowiak’s weekly column focusing on rare and essential 7″ releases. We gladly accept all types of 7″ for consideration. After a brief hiatus last week (we were, as Bill Murray says in Caddyshack , " Unavoidably Detained") we're back with a selection of decidedly anti-summer anthems. Now, we're not anti-summer, far from it, but seems we've largely been rotting your teeth out with sugary pop confections for the past few months, so it's time to get that tinnitus rattling around again, just in [...]
Time for another Song Of The Day. I was going to include a track off the new Passion Pit album because Ive been digging that recently, but its just too sugary and I know I'll just be completely sick of it in two weeks time, like MGMT. So on with the time tested goodness. In the burgeoning UK music scene in the early 80's, Shriekback never quite got the credit they deserved. Consisting of members of Gang Of Four and XTC should have been a recipe for success enough. This tune comes from an early [...]
Some festival-lineup additions: The Flaming Lips-curated All Tomorrow's Parties festival, set for September in upstate New York, has added Deerhoof, the Boredoms, and a set where No Age plays an entire Husker Du LP (with a "special guest" on lead vocals), as well as a few other acts. Meanwhile, the Pitchfork Music Festival has added a bunch of acts to the list of artists taking the stage in July, and it includes the awesome noise spectacle Ponytail, as well as the mysterious DOOM and hometown stalwarts Dianogah. Stuff to look forward to is nice, right?
This provocative and entirely untrue headline was my way of: 1) capitalizing on the goodwill fostered by our previous swine flu posts, 2) letting you know that the recently reunited Boss Hog has joined the ATP NY weekender lineup, which also includes The Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Boredoms, and Black Dice. Echoing my earlier sentiments about this overpriced music [...]
It's 3:30 in the morning and you've had your fair share of oat sodas, not to mention all that Makers Mark, yet the party at your place continues to rage all around you. That asshole that wears a scarf during the summer won't shut up about the Decemberists and the only ladies left are dating each other, it's time to put this party out to pasture. Follow the jump for the Top 5 albums that can clear the place out so you can get your ass to bed. [...]
No doubt that regular readers are familiar with the satirical Billy Corgan Twitter gimmick . It's really taken off in a ways that I could not have foreseen, and I have to assume that you all might be interested in an update. First, Corgan himself has acknowledged its existence. Official statement from the King Pumpkin, found in paragraph six of his mission statement thesis : I do plan on doing other things coming up though. I have notions to start 2 other bands and also release some more solo work. I would [...]
Boredoms - Super Going (mp3) ...from Super æ (1998)
From a 1995 Dartmouth College commencement address by Joseph Brodsky: Basically, there is nothing wrong with turning life into the constant quest for alternatives, into leapfrogging jobs, spouses, and surroundings, provided that you can afford the alimony and jumbled memories. This predicament, after all, has been sufficiently glamorized onscreen and in Romantic poetry. The rub, however, is that before long this quest turns into a full-time occupation, with your need for an alternative coming to match a drug addict's daily fix. When hit by boredom, let yourself [...]

Thanks to XXJFG for bringing this Lindstrom remix of Japan's madcap Boredoms to the world. As they put it: Rainbow acid oceans of spazzed out, foaming mouth free jazz noise and haywire tribal drum workouts that sound and feel like the threat of legions of stampeding war elephants charging towards you in endless waves of destruction. Brilliant. Boredoms - Ant 10 (Lindstrom Remix) [...]

Aside from bands mentioned in previous threads, there's also a number of bands on Skin Graft that were omitted since they produced a relatively small amount of material for the label. They are Melt-Banana (Japan), Pre (UK), Ufo Or Die (Japan) and Zeni-Geva (Japan). Since their inception in the early 90s, Melt-Banana releases countless singles, splits [...]
