My return after a brief hiatus will encompass two strange bands that you'll have to see (or hear) to believe.
First off, Album of the Week #25 issssssss (drum roll PLEASE) ... Vincent Gallo's "Honey Bunny" 7-inch on Warp Records! And that's not all ... I also have, wrapped up especially for Yu, my new Top-10 list, straight from the office in Snowville, Utah (yes, Dead Raven Choir was a predictable pick, but I'm obsessed [...]
Badmaster Records' DIS-Adelphia compilation, FREE download (great label, great comp) (featuring: Memes, Hot Guts, Reading Rainbow, U.S. Girls, Birds Of Maya, Mincemeat Or Tenspeed + more!!!)

First off, tha goodz: Hannis Brown - Oh Ah Ee - self-released [Tiny Mix Tapes review] I just bought a Dead Raven Choir LP on eBay; I'd wanted it for god-knows-how-long and now, finally, IT'S MINE. An unexpected benefit I received from this purchase was a personal note (I call it a "letter" in the [...]

RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 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 on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week's theme is sleeplessness, because I have not been sleeping well the past three nights. Stress at work and stress at home, plus Nicci's being away for the week, has really taken its toll on me. So, [...]

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 [...]

dead raven choir the owls 2003 (française version) "Qui fit L'ombre d'Eric ? C'est Paulin Limayrac Cric ! Crac !" Je crois, c'est, dans ce livre (dont j'ai oublié le nom), que, la première fois j'ai appris l'existence de la forme poétique dite "limerick". Paraît-il, d'après l'auteur, c'en était un et, sorti de la plume de Baudelaire. Plus tard, j'ai lu le Pichois/Ziegler [...]

A quick lapse into cha cha then suicide, a fan refusing to play to abusers in the middle of the night, thwarting any attempt to penetrate, Gato blowing hard, Eddie exploding, Ray interjecting-impossible to sit still through this tango crap Samba Magic - Basement Jaxx Milano Gospel - Argento Kiimaniityn Kutsu - Kemialliset Ystavat Dumb whack! flutes and windblown melodies through a maze of lungcancer leaves me scratching my head and wondering why this guy has an emotional voice and [...]
