A touch of electronic soul coming through on this new Gang Colours track, "Fancy Restaurant." Though it's not exactly dubstep, future garage, post-dubstep, or whatever you wanna call it, the vocals and chilly synths remind me quite a bit of James Blake. I suppose there's something for Beach House here as well, considering the beat feels like it's getting produced by a quirky, vintage drum machine. The vocals have a nice atmosphere on them, too. Very calming, pretty. You can grab a copy of this "Fancy Restaurant" single right here, right now . The single even features [...]

been blasting rudimentary peni all afternoon. good sunday afternoon listening. particularly enjoying death church and it's hideously amusing/frightening surrealist misanthropy. people nail varnished to crosses. fleas carrying blood through the body. strummer and lydon getting their noses bloodied. ten tons of jesus' foreskin. and the fucked buddhist apocalypse of cosmic hearse: floating round the universe / fucking in our cosmic hearse / you know time don't ever end / can't evade those dead zen men / you're the meat in big buddha's dinner / one day you'll eat us all up to / one day is [...]
Just a few tunes to whet your appetite before the big State Of The Blog Address, which will go live at 23:59 PST this evening. Enjoy these songs, I'll be back in a few hours to give my speech. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 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 [...]
These guys are better than you thought...even when you were 15.

Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal is widely lauded in today's history books as a bold measure to stem the tide and reverse the rot of the Great Depression. This despite the fact that U.S. domestic policy actual in subsequent decades, has done everything in it's power to dismantle said measures. However much like activist measures originating from the left today, the New Deal (and by extension Roosevelt) was reviled and feared by the right wing corporate ruling class of the 1930's. In the summer of 1933, shortly after Roosevelt's "First 100 Days," [...]

Goede signalen zijn geen garantie voor een goede plaat. Dat blijkt maar weer bij de ep Spuma Lupi van Perverted. Na het zien van de hoes in combinatie met de bandnaam verwacht ik strakke industrial voorgeschoteld te krijgen. En dat...

Get It? A "Bender"? And now...a week in lists: If a great life is determined by the sum of a person's accomplishments, then Modern Drunkard Magazine has a list of forty things a man should do before he dies, as related to alcohol and drunkenness. According to the author, if one can attest to having completed every task on this list, they have lived a full, enriched life. The list, by the way, includes spending a night in the drunk tank, opening and closing a bar (first guy in, last guy out), juicing on [...]

It's Tuesday, and that means it's Contrast Podcast day. But first, a confession: I've been unfaithful. Yes, I admit it, last week I omitted to draw your attention to the 'cast, whose theme was (wait for it) Infidelity. So if you're feeling guilty, atone by hopping over here for a listen. But this week, Dearest Friends, we're celebrating the Short Song. Yes, each and every tune is under two minutes in length, but uses its allotted time wisely. And Napalm Death makes it's CP debut! Hooray for [...]

Another political post today, spun out of something that I wanted to address in the previous post, but couldn't fit in. There was an editorial that ran in the Boston Globe a few weeks ago, written by a military officer and Iraq War vet presently attending Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, about how the American public at large seems disconnected from what is happening over in Mesopotamia. It wasn't the typical "protestors are making us lose the war" nonsense, but a broader lament about the lack of home front involvement in what the author saw [...]
