![Jennifer Gentle – "Sacramento Session / 5 of 3″ – A Silent Place Records [Album As Art #30/Daily MP3 #34]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2396833_lg.jpg)
*** The above is a Chinese ad for condoms that uses a Jennifer Gentle song as its soundtrack. Cool? Jennifer Gentle - "Electric Princess" MP3/download [NOT representative of what's happening on Sacramento Session ] When I see a limitied-edition record by a psych-rock band, I GET IT, dealing with the consequences later. In the case of my purchasing Jennifer Gentle 's Sacramento Session , however, there are no consequences to speak of; [...]
Japan's Grooveman Spot is in the spotlight this week with two mixes, including a quality selection of his production work strung together by the Jewel School crew from Wellington, New Zealand, and a nice mix from GSM himself (recorded live and direct from Lounge Neo in Shibuya) on offer for your listening pleasure. The first mix, entitled Can't Get Enough Of This Grooveman Spot Stuff , sees the Jewel School's Dan Aikido throwing down a solid selection of Grooveman's production work. Can't Get Enough showcases [...]
Charles Fort, that chronicler of the aberrant, liked to talk of Damned Things. Those things that fell outside of our understood categories, for which we could provide no explanation, that affronted us with their very being; they were the damned. Anomalous phenomena, they would later be called. Spontaneous human combustion, showers of fish, and Elvis sightings are all prime Fortean events. Oh, and 1969 industrial death metal with bagpipes. Cromagnon's album Orgasm should certainly qualify as some kind of Damned Thing. Written by a bunch of Tin Pan Alley musicians given [...]
So here is a track I bought just before going out to LA specifically to play at the Townhouse last Sunday night. I don't often blog new music, so I hope the guys at Jazzy Sport [...]
![Skeezy Bands Compete In Skeezy Contest [Misogyny]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1617205_lg.jpg)
Chicago Reader music writer Miles Raymer rightfully lampoons a new contest from such halcyon musical minds as Saliva, Burn Halo , and Framing Hanley called The Dirty Tourney . (Keep in mind that if you visit that site, you have to allow popups for www.dirtytourney.com, which left me forever ashamed of myself.) In this fight to the death, Saliva and their fellow cro-magnons are on the hunt for the Queen of Unclean: Submit pics and your profile between 3/25 and 4/2 and tell us why you or your girlfriend [...]
Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual milk crate contains Blessure Grave and Cro Magnon . This time I wanted to focus on two duos from different coasts, San Diego's Blessure Grave and Lafayette, Indiana's Cro Magnon. Blessure Grave got mentioned in passing in the Crocodiles BTW for their split 12" with the Crocs and [...]
Influential early '80s italo-disco from the International Music System . These two tracks are taken from their 1984 release. With 2 LP's a nd a handful of 12s released in 2 years the I.M.S. sounds are still incredibly fresh and sought after. You can grab a re-release from Flexx . I.M.S. - Dancing Therapy ( alt link ) I.M.S. - 405 [...]
