I'm getting better, guys. Swan Fungus reader Alex stopped by my place of work today and not only did I remember who he was, but I even engaged him in conversation! That's not to say I ever want to meet any of you, and definitely don't approach me if you see me in public. I'm [...]
Those of you in the Chicago area most likely remember the severe thunderstorms that hit the area a few weeks ago. While the damage was substantial throughout the city, it hit Graveface Records particularly hard. While the label's founder, Ryan Graveface, was out of town, his stocking area in the Logan Square neighborhood was flooded with three feet of water. This destroyed between 50-60% of his unassembled product, all of which he puts together by hand. The value of product ruined by the water ranks in the thousands. To make matters worse, insurance refuses to cover any of the damages [...]
Buried Inside Spoils Of Failure Relapse Records Release Date: 03.03.09 Metal fans have always gotten a bad rap from the populace at large. An easy target for pretentious new-school douchebags smugly snickering their way through Heavy Metal Parking Lot , the genre maintains the same quotient of sub-literate bozos as any other, but with a refreshing lack of pretension (for the most part). The corpse-paint set are pretty silly, but talk to the average adult metal fan who's favorite artist isn't Pantera or isn't Cradle Of Filth and you'll find them to be an educated, [...]

It's 11:03pm. I've been busy from dawn until this very moment performing several arduous tasks (that's what I like to call "working") and running around town on various errands. Then I went out for a nice dinner party at Malo, and drove Nicci and her sister to the airport. They're going to the Philippines, the lucky fucks. Hopefully I can finish this update before midnight. Otherwise, it'll be the first time in years (literally, years) that I didn't have a new post published on time. And what a terrible loss it would be to the writing world if [...]
For some of you, each weekend is a new opportunity to do something exciting and life-affirming. For worthless cretins like myself, it's just another two days in the middle of my work week. Hopefully you will pick up the slack and do something doubly entertaining for the both of us. I'm with you in spirit, people. I mean that in the sense that I've broken into all your homes and left a load in your hair while you were sleeping. I...have a lot of free time to travel. It was not my intention to open today's post with [...]
I promised myself last week that I was going to cut out fast food from my diet for the next 365 days. I arrived at the decision almost immediately following a delicious meal at Qdoba last week. Phoebe was there. I left the Mexican Grill feeling disappointed with myself for consuming a 1,000 calorie burrito, an order of chips with salsa, and two large sodas. I've only used my membership card eight times this year, which translates to a once-a-month savory splurge, but something about being that full of food which is so unhealthy made me [...]
Daturah - Hybrisma Daturah - Shoal
Was will uns das Bild sagen? Shoegazer? Nö, gesangloser Postrock mit mindestens 10 minütigen Songlängen! Es handelt sich um die Paddelbatterie der Frankfurter Postrocker von Daturah die gerade ihr zweites Album "Reverie" (59 min und 5 Songs !!) auf Golden Antenna und in den USA via Graveface (u.a. Appleseed Cast, Experimental Aircraft und Kid Dakota) veröffentlicht haben und fleissig mir gelben Bulli durch Deutschland touren. Verzückte Ohren gabs bei Postrocker Rompfi, von dem dieser Tipp hier auch stammt. Was es zu hören gibt, ist lupenreiner Postrock a la Long Distance Calling, Explosions in the Sky und This will Destroy You! [...]
Don't be fooled by the slightly disconcerting trip-hoppy intro to Daturah's Hybrisma . Despite what its name might suggest, this is no exotic hybrid, but rather a sublime slice of instrumental post-rock. Daturah are a five-piece from Frankfurt, and are from the monumental soundscape school of music. This track is from their forthcoming album Reverie , due to be released later this month. While it's surprisingly strong on melody, as the inevitable crescendo builds so does the surrounding rock noise. A voice exclaims in the background, ever more urgent. This [...]

Ah, work. Where I spend money I don't have on LPs because I see them cross my path during the day and grow to desire them more and more greatly over the course of the next several hours. And how tired I am when I come home. How bored I am waiting for something to happen 'round these parts. The clock could not move any slower when I am waiting for plans to form. I've never liked it. I can be very, very impatient. Especially when hungry. Of course, this would seem hypocritical when weighed against the fact that I [...]
