GHOST DUEL

May 23, 2011, 4:23pm rose quartz

I spaced last week and forgot to post the new songs from pseudonymed and smoked-out Brooklyn group Alan Watts but here's a new video for one of them. They heap together darkwave/industrial ideals as well as partial elements of early Factory records and general basement grime for a pretty ramshackle and varied groove that you can hear from their EP up on soundcloud . buy

Review: Starfucker :: Reptilians

Mar 21, 2011, 2:52pm Everybody Taste

Pre-ordering: the moment when fandom and excitement take over frugality and rational lines of thought. Should I really be paying $20 for an album I've never actually heard? No one likes throwing away their weekend beer money on a nice single and an accompanying assortment of crap filler. I've made that mistake before, and perhaps that's why I'm so wholly enamored with Starfucker's Polyvinyl debut, Reptilians . Because the sexy tease of a shiny single, pretty artwork, and clear vinyl are surpassed by the album's tapestry of 11 interconnected songs: simultaneously life-affirming and existentially contemplative synth-pop that races forward [...]

How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god. - Alan Watts Evan Voytas - ASTRO It's a fucking blizzard out here in NY and I just want to abuse the right to blog and say what's up to the big guy Evan Voytas, we all miss you...but me in particular. Come back to NY man! Also [...]

cred: kleinmania "We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When [...]

Thanks to IMPOSE for the heads up on this one, double PhD Andy Letcher has composed a cultural history of shrooms that is far too extensive and focused for me to clearly explain here. If you're interested there is lots more info right here and if you dig I'd like to recommend Alan Watts' The Book . Bad Dudes - Eat Drugs The Lonely Island - Shrooms (Interlude)

Marnie Stern - This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That

Dec 16, 2008, 11:13am Have You Heard

Transformer Marnie Stern, a darling of guitar technicians and navel-gazing music insiders shows why she's loved in limited circles. Her new CD "This is it and I am it and you are it and so is that and he is it and she is it and it is it and that is that" should be a warning right from the start. Not only is it borrowed (poet Alan Watts c. 1960), it's long and self indulgent. The CD cover boasts a sticker claiming "Kill Rock Star Goddess of Shred™, Marnie Stern, has created a pop record [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE - VOLUME 76

Jul 23, 2007, 2:59am Swan Fungus

I have returned to Los Angeles, alive and in one piece. I'll tell you all about my trip tomorrow. For now, enjoy these songs, okay? RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 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 (not literally) and see what sticks. Ever had one of those really pedestrian moments when [...]
