:: Tommy is being resurrected by Townshend and Daltrey . Simon Townshend and Roger Daltrey, that is... :: Not only did Apples in Stereo frontman Robert Schneider invent a new instrument, but Jeff Mangum composed some music for it . :: I'm utterly speechless . Honest. :: The Strokes are already back in the studio working on a new album. Sucks, because I was really hoping I wouldn't have to hear anything from them for at least another five years. [...]
http://www.facebook.com/lapsen oise I found this last night in my "To listen folder" which actually is just a mental checklist. Lapse is an extremely heavy powerviolence band from the Baltimore/DC are and has some excellent down tuned, sludgy riffs and some slow, driving drums that make you smash the shit outta what ever surface is around. Lapse really reminds me of Crossed out and Infest and even some Weekend Nachos in there.The six track demo hits a doom, bass heavy fever pitch with the last track "6253 that will have your insides shaking for sure! I [...]
In these killer days of knifing rain and ceaseless gales, it pays to have a big jumper, reliable shoes, Vaseline aplenty and a supply of throbbing, dreamscape electro for your ears: a surfboard on which to ride out the waves, a ledge behind the waterfall. London garage act Pariah , his second album imminent, is just the man for the job. Pariah - Crossed Out ( mp3 )
In my 20+ years of listening to metal/hardcore/etc, there are few records that have made a bigger impact on me than the "Cry Now, Cry Later" compilations. For those who aren't familiar, this series of four double-73 compilations collected some of the mid '90s most brutal and important grindcore/power violence bands, and I still listen [...]
Much was cogently made of Burial's vocally murky dubstep opus Untrue, as the hooded beat hoodlum shattered imaginations and ignited inspiration amidst an era cemented to Animal Collective obsession, makeshift techno, and In Rainbows. Similarly, given the concurrent evolutionary progression of dubstep into chartable realms, a gleaming saviour this way comes in the form of London-based producer Pariah and his sophomore record Safehouses, released on the perpetually meritorious R&S Records. For Safehouses is a record rooted in dank-alley, under the (specialist independent record store) counter culture, a record branching out into pristine, untrodden genre blends. The Slump is [...]
TUCUMAN ARDE: COUNTER INFORMATION AND THE CREATION OF AESTHETIC AND CULTURAL MILITANCY If there is one thing in my short visit on this planet has taught me, is that the relationship between art and politics is a pretty much a hot mess on your chest. Some would say that without politics there can be no art, and others would take the vice-a-verse stance and tell you that without art - politics would suffer as well. I find that art and artists that wear the skin of the liberal activist are amongst some of the most [...]
“ Hispaniola is a miracle. Mountains and hills, plains and pastures, are both fertile and beautiful … harbors are unbelievably good and there are many wide rivers of which the majority contain gold…There are many spices, and great mines of gold and other metals…” -- Christopher Columbus, report to the Court of Madrid 1492 “They…brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for glass [...]
