Comet Gain From: London, United Kingdom Comet Gain has history. They're veritable veterans in an industry where careers rise and fall quicker than a dot.com company on a rollercoaster and they're back to show The Vaccines, Brother and the latest crop of guitar wielding British pop urchins how it should be done. Grown from the noisy, political and downright belligerent Riot Grrrl movement, Comet Gain harks back to a time in British music when anything [...]

Comets On Fire - Hatched Upon The Age (2006)
It is hard not to root for Inches in Falling. Apart from the fact that they seem way beyond their years, their presentation as classic-rock fetishists showcases a ferocity that is genuinely reflective of the era. It could be due to the scraggly, unrestrained vocals that somehow maintain melodic consistency despite sounding both frenetic and [...]
by Lauren Keiser We all know that guy. The one who wakes up still drunk, refuses to spend more than ten dollars for a t-shirt, and reads the works of Hunter S. Thompson like a to-do list. Luke and Mitch Meseke both are probably "that guy" and, fortunately for us, they form the all-elusive Woozy [...]
by Jay Mattson Canada has been a venerable bastion of good music for the past decade. The New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene, Wolf Parade and Death From Above 1979, just to name a few, have all hailed from our neighbor to the north. Vancouver's Black Mountain joined the fray with a 2005 self-titled debut that [...]
Jon Chapple takes on the unique experience of a Brian Jonestown Massacre show, an event that certainly lives up to the band's defiantly frustrating image. BJM, while inconsistent, have shown glimpses of brilliance throughout their career, and their recent performance at The Academy 3 was typical of just that: full of great moments but with too many distractions - both on the stage and off - to attain perfection.
Two members of the same band each give L.A. Record their favorite albums of the Aughties! Which albums will overlap? Which will cancel each other out? Is the inclusion of "Ex Models" a vicious personal swipe at someone? And will L.A. Record EVER run out of top ten lists of the Aughties? Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion...
And now a new feature here at GIMME TINNITUS, q and also a , where I chat/email with bands and they answer some questions. To kick off the feature I met up with Pete from Dinowalrus .

56. SHELLAC @ PRIMAVERA SOUND29 de Maio de 2009Era um dos nomes que aguardava com maior antecipação nesta minha estreia primaveril. Escrevi: "Steve Albini é Deus. Pouco depois de Jarvis Cocker, a quem Albini produziu o mais recente álbum, acabar no palco principal, voltou com os seus parceiros Bob Weston e Todd Trainer ao palco ATP, para ali produzir um dos maiores estrondos do festival.

On June 6, 2006, FensePost went live. Since its inception, I've written more than 1,000 album reviews and countless features, track reviews, live reviews, and video reviews. My collection has grown exponentially. I have a room in my house devoted entirely to records. CDs go in the living room and I'm out of shelving space. To say FensePost has become a big part of my life would be an understatement. It's as much a second job as it is a hobby. Above photo of [...]
![Basalt Fingers - s/t - 3 Lobed Recordings (#624/845) [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2085402_lg.jpg)
Who am I kidding? I bought Basalt Fingers ' self-titled live LP because it was out of print (OOP), pressed in a limited edition (of 845) and blessed by a couple of big names ( Ben Chasny of Comets On Fire / Six Organs Of Admittance , Elisa Ambrogio of Magik Markers , and Brian Sullivan ), not because I truly thought [...]
I'm feeling a little bit better today. In case you're not my friend on Facebook or you don't follow me on Twitter, I became ill yesterday morning and spent the next several hours in bed. I vomited for the first time since 1999! Then I went to the gym and ran three miles, just to see if I could. I didn't throw up again, which I kind of expected because the puke was not the result of any pathogen or sickness. It wasn't a hangover; it was something else. Anyway, I wasn't feeling well enough to blog so I didn't. [...]
Welcome to MEGA RIFF FRIDAY Oh children, let me explain this beauty. So let's say you want to hear some good hard rock j-a-double-emms. Because the weather is awesome and your shirt is uncomfortable anyway. But you don't really know where to go for some jams. Who can turn you on to some new stuff? ETHAN F*CKING MILLER, man, that's who. The man behind Howlin Rain and the Bay Area's own god of the heavy riff. Turns out he's got a blog called Silver Currant - it's only occasionally updated, but each [...]

Gitarrist Ben Chasnys Unberechenbarkeit ist hörbares Zeichen seiner unerschöpflichen Kreativität. Auch die neuste Platte ist ein kaleidoskopisches Amalgam aus folkigem Gezupfe und psychedelischer Verzerrung. Bei den PsychRockern von Comets On Fire lässt er die Sau raus, solo als Six Organs Of Admittance weiss er sich auch mal zu zügeln. Das Projekt August Born und Gastspiele bei Current 93 und den Magik Markers sind blosse Zwischenstationen auf dem goldenen Mittelweg hin zur perfekten Synthese von Folk und Noise. Anfang August ist auf Drag City (sein etwa zehntes Album) "Luminous Night" erschienen, das neben Gitarrenspielereien eine ebenso mystische wie wunderbare Mischung aus mittelalterlichem Gesang, klagender Bratsche, indianischem Geflöte und orientalischen Tablarhythmen enthält. [...]
Nos complace comunicarles a los amantes del folk, que Six Organs Of Admittance , tendrá nuevo material llamado Luminous Night , el 18 de agosto vía Drag City . Ben Chasny (el hombre detrás de Six Organs ) es miembro también de Comets On Fire . Devendra Banhart es uno de los fieles seguidores de la banda en cuestión. De hecho, en "The Beatles", corte incluído en su Cripple Crow (2005), canta: Yo sí oigo a Donovan, yo sí oigo a Marc Bolan. Yo sí oigo a Ben Chasny, a Six Organs [...]
I hope this week is better than last week. For fuck's sake, could something possibly go right, for a change? Anything? Anyone? Bah. No one's listening. What's more, I thought today was the 21st, and had a mix tape prepared to mark the occasion, but later found out that's not until next week. Good God, man. I need some fucking relaxation. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing [...]
