We cool? Cool. RULES for uninitiated noobs: 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 [...]

We blijven nog even in België. De Vlaamse act met de mooie naam Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat is een regelmatig besproken onderwerp op mrbungle.nl. Ook de laatste plaat Hewers Of Wood And Drawers Of Water kreeg hier een puike recensie . Achteraf moet ik bekennen dat dit album mij op een gegeven moment een beetje de keel uit begon te hangen. Teveel van dezelfde dronefolk, en bouwen op herhaling kan dan zomaar verworden tot bouwen op verveling. Dus toch. Gelukkig heeft ook Stef Irritant, de drijvende kracht achter deze band, zich eens [...]

De wedstrijd Nederland – België is mijns inziens altijd al bij voorbaat beslist in het voordeel van onze zuiderburen, wat muziek betreft dan. Neem nu Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat uit Gent, een act dat sinds het debuut If The Sky Falls, We Shall Catch Larks (2005) door ondergetekende onafgebroken de hemel ingeprezen wordt. Doorgaans wordt er op gereageerd met wat gegniffel om de bandnaam – verwijzend naar een middeleeuws ritueel – zonder de muziek een kans te geven. Wellicht trekt het derde volledige album Hewers Of Wood And Drawers Of Water [...]
Or "junky," if your name is William S. Burroughs and you happen to be have a book published in the UK during in the 1950s! This morning I awoke at the criminally early time of 7:45am to help Tom and John with a short film they are producing and directing. They needed some extras on set today to look like junkies and wait in line at a methadone clinic. The scene consisted of five or six people waiting in a line while a worried woman searches frantically for a sign that her lost nephew is known to one of the [...]
Toen ik tot opluchting van mijn ouders eindelijk het huis uit ging kreeg ik niet lang daarna een pikzwarte kitten in huis, die ik de naam Wodka gaf. Het beest piste vooral mijn bank onder en hield mij 's nachts uit mijn slaap, dus Wodka was net zo snel weer verdwenen als ze was gekomen. [...]

Belgian band Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat is really something special. With their mix of folk harmonies and post-rock, they are definitely a band on the right label, being K-R-A-A-K . On the 23rd of September they will release their new album, The Nebulous dream , on Conspiracy Records . They will launch the album with a show in Gent, at the Vooruit [...]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. There was also a gravity hill involved. I'd tell you all the juicy details surrounding today's day-trip to San Diego (starring Ken, Katie, Nicci and I), but you wouldn't fully appreciate it. Although, to be honest, if I don't tell you the story of what I did today, I have nothing left to talk about and I'll probably end up writing about some album that nobody cares about who isn't in their mid-thirties, balding, and living in the parents' basement. You know, like some obscure psych band that [...]

I have a hard time calling into question a story published on a prestigious website like that the Archaeological Institute of America, but I have an even harder time wrapping my head around this article about zombie attacks that occurred in early Egypt. Apparently an archaeological dig at Hierakonpolis in 1892 led to the discovery of a tomb that contained a partially decomposed body, the brain of which had been infected with a virus that turned people into zombies. Another piece of evidence (perhaps the oldest historical document in the world), also from that location, seems [...]

In Nederland zijn de goede bands op 2 handen te tellen, in België stikt het van de goede bands. Dat is waar vrijwel iedere muziekliefhebber in Nederland het over eens is. In Nederland hebben we wel wat Excelsiorbandjes, maar die klinken al jaren allemaal hetzelfde. Alleen Spinvis en zZz maken echt onderscheidende muziek. Daarnaast zijn er genoeg leuke undergroundbandjes in Nederland, maar die zullen het nooit verder schoppen dan dat, omdat ze in Nederland op een te klein publiek kunnen rekenen. Nederlands belangrijkste exportproducten zijn Tiësto en Within Temptation en dat is toch wel om droevig van te worden. In [...]

1. Eastern Conference Champions recently were robbed in L.A. Thieves took all of their equipment (guitars, amps, drums, etc.). Help them out, if you can. They're a good bunch of guys. 2. You all pay me for my opinion, but due to my self-imposed RIAA ban I haven't commented on the recent Brit Chick invasion. I won't post on these artists, 'cause their albums are protected by the music mafia, but I will say in this random opinion that I really dig Amy Winehouse, but I don't get the [...]
worst band name in history, or at least pretty damn close. kiss the anus of a black cat hail which from gent, belguim is the brain child of stef heeren. i am hoping that the name is derived from some regional inside joke. oddly enough their name aptly fits the music. its an interesting [...]
Website re-launch. 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 there is none. These songs will be removed if desired by the band or those who represent them. Let me know and I will gladly comply . The goal [...]
