Trent Reznor - Peter Murphy - Tv On The Radio
I don't think I would ever have guessed that those were, respectively, Peter Murphy's front and Trent Reznor's back. But indeed, that's what you're seeing here. The collab doesn't quite work, but the most depressing thing about this video is when the camera swings over to reveal the throngs of voracious fans.

World, where is thy dash o' justice?

Jul 18, 2007, 9:33pm Two and 1/2 Pounds of Bacon - an mp3 blog from brooklyn
World, where is thy dash o' justice? The Brilliant Corners from Bristol made clever, bouncy, jangly pop music that didn't make them as famous as the Housemartins. If there were a dash of justice in this world, things might've been diffo. Sigh.

Blake Schwarzenbach teaches at Hunter

Blake Schwarzenbach teaches at Hunter I read that somewhere and thought it was really very awesome. But let's get to the point, shall we? Journey back with me. It's 1990. Jawbreaker are fresh out the box, coasting on the strength of their first LP, Unfun , and the sensi-tough ache of that song "Want," which always went next to Rites of Spring's "For Want Of" on my mixes. I was a wanter. Big time. New Red Archives sees fit to release a comp on clear vinyl that presents the punk state of the [...]

NYC: snowden + delicious sandwich social + make out party

Aug 26, 2006, 9:13am Two and 1/2 Pounds of Bacon - an mp3 blog from brooklyn
Some upcoming happenings in the city: Jade Tree Record's buzz kings Snowden played the Sine-E on Thursday and hit South Paw in Park Slope, Brooklyn tonight. Their heavily reverbed, drone-heavy sound is indebted to Interpol for sure, but (thank god) without the Ian Curtis fixation. This tune got stuck in my head bad: Snowden - Anti-Anti (from itstoolong.com) Attention sandwich-makers and sandwich-lovers: the Delicious Sandwich Social happens this afternoon at Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

eko vino: beef & iron wine

Aug 25, 2006, 12:11am Two and 1/2 Pounds of Bacon - an mp3 blog from brooklyn
A perplexing medicinal , usually found in the "Hispanic" or "Ethnic" section of the drugstore. I have picked up this bottle several times but never mustered up the courage to buy a bottle. It does actually contain 7% alcohol, which, of course, has led me to fantasize of wild, beef wine fueled orgies (So drunk! So strong!!!) Strangely, The Daily Slope also ran a brief story last year featuring the Eko Vino and other Hispanic-marketed medicines, remedies and cosmetics. I find it hard to believe that these products are only available in Park Slope, Brooklyn (where [...]

fast & jittery: orange juice + the wedding present

Aug 24, 2006, 12:06am Two and 1/2 Pounds of Bacon - an mp3 blog from brooklyn
fast & jittery: orange juice + the wedding present The UK has a grand tradition of fast, chaotic and vulnerable pop that reaches back to the post-punk era. Pehaps one could even trace the thread back to Skiffle and Mersey Beat, but that's probably more of a stretch. From Glasgow, Scotland, Orange Juice pioneered the nerdy and romantic art-punk jangle that has has become a permanent part of the indie landscape. You might even call them pre-twee. An impressive collection of their first recordings (1980-1981) was released by Domino last year as The Glasgow School , and contains the track below. Orange Juice never really [...]

The Peltor Junior Ear Muff is just right for concerts, races, shooting and other general noise protection...Another benefit to these muffs is that they don't pose a choking hazard, as earplugs sometimes can when used by very young, unsupervised children.

A very nice track arrived in my inbox the other day. Baltimore's Page France make some folksy and twee indie-pop. They are on the excellent Suicide Squeeze label, also home to Minus the Bear, Crystal Skulls and Chin Up, Chin Up. Page France - Junkyard The song called to mind the similar stylings of long forgotten Wimp Factor 14 from Pittsburgh. I always had a soft spot for those boys. This tune

bivouac - Avant | Après

bivouac - Avant | Après I had the good fortune of attending the Avant | Après event last weekend. It was staged by bivouac , a NYC based label specializing in avant garde electronica and noise. The higlight of the show was Nim was from Sweden. His rig was extremely simple: a cassette walkman (with cassette), one signal processing unit and a pair of scissors. He manipulated the transport machinery of the walkman with his hands and the scissors to create a percolating set of beats. He then moved cassette tape over the heads of walkman [...]
