pic via As you may be aware, MetalSucks recently invited musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere to tell us what their favorite albums of 2011 have been. But the always-unique Eugene S. Robinson of Oxbow fame turned in a list of a somewhat different nature. The silver lining is, his list is so [...]
Kenneth Thomas, in a tunnel. If you care about heavy music and still believe that art should trump commerce every time, you owe it to yourself to check out Blood, Sweat & Vinyl: DIY in the 21st Century. I've written about Kenneth Thomas's music documentary in these e-pages before. After watching the film a second [...]
It's a Saturday night in Greenpoint, a still-Polish neighborhood smothered by hipsters and transplants orphaned by and priced-out of neighboring Williamsburg. My favorite part of Brooklyn is not actually living there, and this neighborhood is blessed with the city's worst train line: the G. Somehow, I make my way to Europa, a nightclub that not-infrequently [...]
Black Flag will never reunite in any form that even remotely satisfies its generations of fans. But perhaps the coolest "not-quite-a-reunion" yet has just been announced. Chuck Dukowski, Black Flag's original bassist, has just recruited Eugene Robinson from Oxbow/Vice contribution to front a new band called Black Face. They've just recorded four songs that were [...]
One of the things that I love most about underground metal is that so many diehard fans fulfill so many roles within the metal community. A lot of the kids that you see at the grind show are also in bands. The dude rockin' out at the front might own a distro. That girl might [...]

--Hey hipsters this isn't 2008 there's nothing "Ironic" about your mustache anymore. This includes pulling your hair over your lip/drawing a mustache on your finger it's been done... the novelties worn off-- . . . After finishing up with the night cruise posts i'm in the mood for some songs where the instrumentation carries the songs a little more than the lyrics. I'm sure as i piece this one together i'll stray a little from that format but that's basically [...]
This week is more action-packed than a Richard Simmons tape. You need to be jamming stuff from Manchester Orchestra , Man Man , Ben Sollee , Joan of Arc , Le Butcherettes and Jesu . In the "haven't made it all the way through yet, but you know it isn't bad" category, we've got The Lonely Island , Here We Go Magic , Zombi , Moving Mountains , Sam Roberts Band and Oxbow . I'm pretty sure I missed some [...]

If you can't figure out why you awoke this morning with a persistent boner (like me) or a tingly bottom (uh also like me), let me tell you it probably is related to Hydra Head's announcement that tomorrow brings the premiere of a new Cave In jam! Welcome to Horny City. Population: you. But there's [...]
Dopo l'uscita del DVD legato ai reading (Eresia, pubblicato da Auditorium Edizioni, nelle librerie tra breve) e in attesa del tour di "riscaldamento" per l'uscita del nuovo album, entrano in studio per la fase finale di realizzazione del nuovo album. A quanto è trapelato ci sarà uno smarcamento dal sound dei dischi passati e che Giulio Ragno Favero e Pierpaolo Capovilla , oltre a Luca Bottigliero (alla batteria), avranno come complici, in veste di ospiti, artisti di caratura internazionale.Intanto gli One Dimensional Man si proporanno live in apri le.

ultraphallus is a homage and the real name given to michael jackson's father, joe jackson, who raped and educated his children hardly… joe jackson is the ultimate father… for all, he is the ultraphallus. seriously. doubleyou tee eff. not sure if this is some weird conceptual piece. like one of the melvins sniggering anti-jokes. doesn't really matter so much when the record's as sonically pleasing as this. a kinda awesome mix of all that back-in-the-day, angular albini scratch from quarterstick and touch and go, the ugly fucks sprawled and spewing across the [...]
Heckle Eugene Robinson on stage. We dare you. As vocalist for the band Oxbow, Robinson commands an array of vocal styles, has been known to strip down to his underwear on stage to get into the mood, and has gained a reputation for choking hecklers onstage. He can strike fear if you let him look you in the eye, and you don't want to be on the receiving end of his MMA-trained fists. Robinson is not

stumbed onto this rather squalid (not meant pejoratively) unnofficial video for the oxbow tour 123 that hydrahead put out. i dig the use of third generation video. something i've done myself with photo's. most recently here . i like the aesthetics and philosophy behind it, the xerography, the lo-fidelity, the mirror upon mirror voyeurism... be warned, this does feature a severed cock and balls. hydra head / [...]
Oxbow 's Eugene S. Robinson has written a book entitled A Long Slow Screw . Much like how bands must tour to support albums, so do authors tour to support books. Robinson will be no exception to this as he travels from coast to coast to read selections from his book. Compared to an Oxbow set, these reading are going to be tame, but that doesn't mean that they aren't going to be any less amazing! Eugene S. Robinson tour dates: 02/20/2010 Los Angeles, CA @ Sherwood Magazines [...]
A countdown of the top records of the decade.
Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of ' Part 4 ', the new single from English ambient drone architect Stray Ghost , taken from his forthcoming album Nothing, But Death . On his immersive new release, Anthony Saggers mines the rich depths of melancholy and longing. 'Part 4' is a slow, sad drift across a half-remembered landscape of distant drones, with a slow descending lump-in-the-throat melody, all cloaked in smoky ambience. Each rise and fall feels like a slow-motion chapter in some narcoleptic romance. 'Part 4' is a bittersweet taster for the forthcoming release of [...]
I'm exhausted. It's been a long day and a long week, and I am looking forward to a good night of sleep tonight. This week should be a little more laid back than the previous one, and will provide me with opportunities to go out into the world and have some fun. I think. I don't really know. We'll see, I guess. The only thing I know for certain is that today is Sunday, which means I have to compile for you a new mix tape. It's Sunday Mix Tape time! RULES for uninitiated [...]
If you've made it through THIS AWESOME DAY so far, then the least I can do is share with you this super-important email message that I received from Hydra Head noise rock bluesmen Oxbow: What you will read and how you will read it - these words off of an actual physical artifact - will be [...]
