Underworld Records has set August 15th as the date on which EXCOMMUNICATED debut album Skeleton Key will be unleashed. Compositionally dynamic, atmospherically insidious, and impossible to forget, this is Louisiana blackened death that lacerates the soul and burns into the brain. A dark treatise on the medieval Catholic Church, Skeleton Key is that rare metal [...]

So I've ate, shit, and slept with Mister Jason's Frankensteez project for nearly six days now, and it's rewind-button-city-all-day. Despite having disappeared from the recording side of things for years - since his Porn Theatre Ushers days with Nabo Rawk - Jason managed to return with a comeback strong enough to rape a horse. Even the artwork is classic. The video above is for "Skeleton Key," which, like nearly every track on Frankensteez , features Rain (on co-production), with MC duties handled by Kno Supreme, whose nice [...]
Love Inks – Show Review: June 1st, 2011, Le Cagibi, Montreal, Quebec Having traveled all the way to a small, quaint, charmingly cozy show café in Montreal from their hometown of Austin, the Love Inks frontwoman, Sherry LeBlanc deemed this a special show, for their E.S.P. release, after coming straight from her father's funeral.

As the venue started to fill up, fans moved from the back to the [...]

Welcome to part one of GIMME TINNITUS' Best Songs Of The Aughts where we look back on the best songs of 2000-2004. Back when all the "best of the decade" whoopla started earlier this year (with Pitchfork's Best Of ), I began thinking about the songs I would have blogged about had I actually been blogging (or let's say posting about music on an angelfire page) way back in 2000. I sifted through many tracks to come up with this list, and I hope it helps you reconnect with some tracks you may have forgotten [...]

This track, off their debut The Dust Of Retreat , one of the sadest pop songs I've heard. " I did a sick, sick thing to my love. My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up. And she cooked me food. She squirmed and turned like a skeleton key "
["Delhi Wall" by Tod A . "Clown Graffiti" (Franklin St. in Greenpoint, Brooklyn) by d.billy . ( via )] Firewater ( myspace ) released a fine record last month, though all your favorite new media outlets were too busy suckling at Scarlett Johansson's massive PR teat to notice. The collective helmed by singer-guitarist Tod A. has been dealing in Waitsian carny cabaret and world musics since long before the current round of indie indulgences, and it doesn't have to resort to rummaging through record collections and staring at [...]
