Friday! Quick-hit thoughts of the week! QUICK-HIT THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK! 1. Whatever Brains - Gross Urge (mp3) ( buy ) BAM! Whatever Brains ( myspace ) is a Raleigh, North Carolina band called WHATEVER BRAINS. That automatically qualifies them to be AWESOME, but this song - along with a lot of the rest of their Trim-Jeans and/or Gross Urge Plus Ten CD-R - qualifies them to be DOUBLE AWESOME. I'm more comfortable thinking of them as traditional lo-fi punk than as [...]

[Photos by Merry Swankster] For what its worth, I'm firmly placed in the camp of believers calling Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca as one of the best albums of the year. There is a magical cohesion from track to track that elevates the album's song collection into something more special as a sum of its parts, even in spite of standout songs. Bitte Orca keeps pulling me back even as I flirt with other tempting releases that hover in my orbit. Last Sunday's show at the Blubird was the first time I've [...]
What's up this weekend to all our of BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast folk... Just wanted to share this really dope segment from the weekly Hip-Hop news series This Week With Jasiri X. In this series (which I can give myself a late pass on following), talented Pittsburgh, PA Hip-Hop MC, Activist, Entrepreneur and Hip-Hop News Anchor Jasiri X reports different segments of the National News via rhyme over the latest & greatest beats. Much love to the brother Paradise the Arkitech a.k.a. Paradise Gray of X-Clan (who [...]
adam and his advising uncle its been a bit, and i really need to try and get more artists for this "feature" but, not surprisingly, i am really bad at following up with folks. this edition of "tell me something..." features london's the tailors and their front man, adam killip. their upcoming release for trash aesthetics is due out 11.30 and they have decided to call it, come dig me up . i have spent the better part of a couple months with said record, and its probably the growiest record of the [...]
Born: 1972 in New York. Latest release: NGH WHT—The Dead Emcee Scrolls with the Arditti Quartet, a collaboration with composer Thomas Kessler. Why you care: Quick—name a slam poet other than Saul Williams. Guaranteed, if that were a question on Cash Cab, 10 out of 10 contestants would get kicked to the curb. But it isn't just that Williams is the face—make that the only face—of a niche art form; it's hard to find a performer, in any medium, who possesses the same level of intensity. (Hell, [...]
Washington, DC has been home to some interesting bands of note: Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Henry Rollins, Fugazi. Jonathan Fire*Eater was located in NYC but everyone in it was from DC. Then there was this band called The Dismemberment Plan . They broke up right around the time I got a DC address so while I'd heard the name, I never heard their sound. Recently, I met someone with ties to the band so I gave TDP a listen and...wow. If Stephen Malkmus fronted and wrote songs for Fugazi , I think [...]
the only good thing the smiths ever did was not reform. when that day comes as far as i'm concerned my personal seventh seal is broken. not just because i have a pathological loathing for all things smithsian but also because i have a pathological distrust for band reformations. a peculiarly new phenomenon ( i think…) within the indie world. i'll lazily lay the blame at all tomorrows parties circle-jerking feet. it continues apace with recent pavement and public image ltd reunion tours announced. all good bands split up. all bad bands eventually reform. that's a ninety nine percent fact.

Shane Sakkeus is busy. Really fucking busy. As one third of design collective Trust Fun! Sakkeus battles psychedelic algorithms in the morning, produces a fashion/comic book hybrid in the afternoon and works for clients such as London Fashion Week and Topshop in the evening. On his lonesome he's a publisher, art director and graphic designer whose current responsibilities include redesigning Oyster Magazine, rebranding Josh Goot and answering way too many questions from Pedestrian. We pestered Shane incessantly to get these answers back but now that we're privy to his workload, the tardiness is completely understandable. Prepare to [...]
A wonderful cascade of covers from a friend has turned my thoughts to covers of punk music this week. As Katie noted in her send-along, much of which appear below, "the thread that runs from folk to punk seems such a vibrant and easily spotted one to pull at", and that sounds just about right; I'd even go so far as to suggest that, like folk in the generation before it, Punk both served and sprung from the hearts of a discontented youth counterculture, and - as I noted about Rap rather tongue-in-cheek last year - [...]

The story behind tUnE-yArDs is definitely an interesting one. The project has been slow in developing, and that's mostly because Merrill Garbus is the only person behind the name, and she recorded every bit of music you hear on the album by herself. She took 2 years to get it all done, using a digital voice recorder and whatever free audio editing software she could find. The end result is "BiRd-BrAiNs," a debut album that she first distributed via her website on a "pay what you want" scale. After making a halfway decent buck with that method, Marriage Records felt [...]

Review – The Idle Hands – The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show
First let me start off by saying that there should be a word limit to album titles, sometimes they get out of hand. There also needs to be some kind of truth in advertising thing as well, I mean, The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show sounds a wee bit pretentious doesn't it, never mind a bit wordy. But this is really apropos of nothing. The second thing I want to address is that second or two of foreboding you sometimes get when you look at something and think [...]

The Top Ten Ways To Enjoy Boredom
Oh my God. I had an absurdly good meal at 8 Oz. Burger Bar this evening. I'll post the pictures and describe the tastes later, I'm still full and haven't found quite the right words to describe it yet. Then I came home and found out one of the restaurant's co-owners was recently arrested on charges that he may have intentionally caused a woman to have a miscarriage by "placing an unspecified powder in the pregnant woman's vaginal area." So he killed a fetus. If you told me right now that the hamburger I ate tonight was actually a fetus, [...]

Cloak/Dagger singer talks to Decibal Magazine about 5 Top Hardcore Albums

Interview: Alec Empire - "I wanted to capture the buzz Nero might have felt when Rome was burning down"
We know what you're thinking: " Alec Empire doesn't really seem like the kind of thing Thrash Hits usually covers". But you know what? If you think that, then you've clearly failed to take some very serious points into account. Yes, we know if you slap on his last album, The Golden Foretaste of Heaven , you'll get an earful of electro, rather than the extreme white-noise inferno he made his name with. But that doesn't change the fact that A) Alec Empire is more punk rock than anything you can think [...]
