I posted the beautiful and somber "Pharaoh's Chariot" from Soulsaver's third album, Broken , in my Creepy Halloween Mix and liked it so much I decided to look up more songs. I ended up with all of it and a brand-new respect for this joint project of Rich Machin (above, right) and Mark Lanegan (left, of Screaming Trees), who wrote lyrics and provided vocals on most of the songs. Songs are primarily dark and reflective, powered by Lanegan's ominous growl, although "All the Way Down" provides some welcome uplift. The album includes two instrumentals, [...]
With Thanksgiving now less than two weeks away, I figured it was about time to repost my tried and true recipe for brined and roasted turkey. So what if I ganked the original recipe from the amazing Alton Brown a few years ago. I've made enough delicious changes that it really feels like mine though. I'm still thinking about the possibility of cooking something else a little less traditional for Thanksgiving... something like a Bacon Explosion perhaps. (Yum!) And my mother's vegan pumpkin pie to balance it all out. Oh yeah! Here's the recipe: [...]
'Hello. Just wanted to let y'all know I'll be doing the video thing at Dan's Silver Leaf this Sunday. 10:30PM. FREE. Showing three Texas-based videos: a JFK assassination recreation, a great black variety program filmed in Dallas in the mid-1960s, and the Butthole Surfers live in 1985. Next screenings will be on the third Sunday of December (the 20th) with a Xmas theme. Martin' THE ETERNAL FRAME Ant Farm and T.R. Uthco, 1975 (24 min.) Using Abraham Zapruder's famous [...]
Adam Horovitz will be DJing at the Tony Clifton and Vaginal Davis concert at Santos Party House in New York City next Monday (November 16). Horovitz will share DJ duties with wife Kathleen Hanna and Gibby Haines (Butthole Surfers). Tickets to this 18+ show cost $20 and may be purchased online at Ticketweb . Presumably, Horovitz and Hanna were invited to DJ at Clifton's and Davis' concert when the couple attended a benefit party recently at NYC gallery Participant Inc. , where Davis exhibited artwork and Clifton provided [...]
East Bay Ray, of Dead Kennedys fame, has entered El Dorado Studios in Los Angeles this week to begin recording a new project. As of right now, the band name has not been revealed, but it features Skip from the Wynona Riders. The record is being produced by Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers, Sublime). The Dead Kennedys declared an indefinite touring hiatus last year due to health issues faced by bassist Klaus Flouride and drummer D.H. Peligro. Skip, from the new project, was filling in on vocals with the touring incarnation [...]
Brooklyn band My Best Fiend is releasing a 3-song EP consisting of music drowned in a river of lucid dreams, religious transcendence, and fragile emotions. This is the new gospel rock about taking drugs to make music to take drugs to . Yes, that is a reference to Spacemen 3. Listen to My Best Fiend's Jesus Christ and you will see what I mean. It's the first song on their 2nd record with Matt Boynton (Gang Gang Dance, Butthole Surfers, Bat for Lashes), recorded at Vacation Island Studios. DOWNLOAD: My Best Fiend - Jesus [...]
For So Long Now mp3 Brazos, Phosphorescent Blue buy it here Mirrored and Reverse mp3 White Denim, Fits buy it here White Denim and Brazos came to Chicago's newest indie music venue, Lincoln Hall last night. It was my first time, and like a Catholic school girl, my panties were all twisted up, legs crossed tightly in anticipation, and yet I still had no fucking clue what I was in for! Oh. My. God. Lincoln Hall is [...]
It's possible that no band better defined the aesthetic, attitude, or ethic of Touch & Go's 25-plus-year history than the Jesus Lizard did. The label's 50/50 business model, first started by Factory Records in England, gave the underbelly of American music a creative vehicle it had never had before, with the backing of Chicago, America's closet cultural metropolis, to support the music on a local level. All of that coalesced when Dave Yow and David William Sims, two members of an Austin cult favorite named Scratch Acid, moved to the Windy City. Once there, they promptly made friends with [...]

If you're at all familiar with the sordid past of psych-rock pioneer Roky Erickson , than you know that it was only a few years ago that the possibility of ever seeing him perform live seemed about as likely as a warm winter in Toronto. His heavily permissive lifestyle back in the 60's while he was the leader of seminal psychsters the 13th Floor Elevators led to his being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1968, resulting in jailtime, electroshock therapy, and even a brief stint where he believed that aliens were coming to Earth to do him harm. It [...]

even as the original line-up is whittled away (they've never really been the same since cederlund jumped ship for disfear ) and they record and tour less and less frequently and the rock and roll shit is sloughed off for a return to their harsher death roots, this swedish collective are still one of my allfuckingtime favourites. i can't imagine my record collection without them. when wolverine blues came out i had all but walked away from this-kind-of-thing. think this and unsane's total destruction kept my metal(ish) heart ticking round about my mid-teens. by this [...]

FRIDAY Dear Human / Babar / Kamfgrounds (Bee's Fifth Collective located at 306 Texas St. in Denton): You think there would be only one band called "Babar" on Myspace... Digital Leather / Thomas Function / Yussuf Jerusalem / Leg Sweeper (The Lounge): Digital Leather has softened their sound quite a bit, and it's definitely not what you could honestly describe as synth-punk at this point, but will still appeal to most people who buy records on Goner , who honestly put [...]

Friday, October 30, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: There's some absolutely huge shows in town this weekend, but I think I'll be staying in and resting up so that I'll be able to yell my head off at the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday. Sorry, Black Angels, Butthole Surfers/Peaches and Gogol Bordello/Apostle Of Hustle. Proving that everything is worth giving a listen no matter how questionable it seems, today's act is a good one that willingly call themselves Total Babe and just so happen [...]
The Granada Theater was kind enough to give us two pairs of tickets to tomorrow's anticipated showdown between two of the biggest live spectacles in all of popular music, The Butthole Surfers and Peaches . Either one of these acts would be more than enough to lead us into Halloween weekend, but be one of the first people to send an email to wehotjrtix@yahoo.com and you can see them both. Hurry, contest ends at 5 PM today.
T ia Carrera boasts members who shaped some pretty cool bands in their past lives (the Butthole Surfers being a particularly cool reference for me). What you have here is an album of such lolloping 'I am fucking cool and you WILL love be God damn you' riff and jam that you will wonder if this is the primordial soup from which all things Earthless and Mammatus were formed. Fuzz Rock shouldn't be packaged and over processed and falsified and this record is perfect proof of why because when [...]
