Jerusalem and Godflesh

Ok so my homey Camerin hipped me to the most amazing blog ever a few months ago: http://ChrisGoesRocks.blogspot.com. This saint of man in Sweden, apparently named Chris, took the time to upload thousands of amazing full-length albums by bands no one has ever heard of. I mean, I dig some obscure psych rock and prog and all that and I am ashamed of how little I know compared to this dude. So far, the standout track is by a band called Jerusalem. "Primitive Man" rips it so hard and I can't get the song away from my brain. All day, I hear a pretty much steady loop of that killer riff and vocal line...you know which one I'm walking about. Fire. Also, imagine the scene 30+ years ago: no one rocked properly, let alone with Big Black style production. Start bulking up on the psych, metal and folk now because I will beat yo over the head with it. I want to move in with Chris and be his apprentice.

Jerusalem- "Primitive Man" mediafire

And Tom hipped me to this one. Not much to say about Godflesh other than they are the template for all heavy music after 1990. It derives all its power from the gnarly rhythm section. And every band after them derives something from them. The Shape of Punk to come actually came out in 1989. Sorry Refused

Rape Valley Records-Crimes Galore vs. BLL "Poundtown Cagefighting Anthem"

Despite the world's best efforts, Rape Valley Records will officially begin rolling out the hits this winter. We're all over the place and when it comes down to it, we're just the dudes who will put out the goofy shit; the eclectic shit; the shit that everyone is afraid to Trademark. We're bringing the thunder and we're doing it sans marketing professionals.

Here is the first track. And I'm leaking it. Business?

Future Disco

From S.T.A.Y.B.A.D. Flyers and Party Photos

So we're not gonna be 100% evil tomorrow. It was a long weekend, what with us killing it at Mountain Bar and raging and all that. Plus I got finals coming up. Instead, we're getting disco. And a little worldly. And a little werepire...that's half werewolf and half vampire. Plus we got our boy Chad, AKA DJ High Speed Dub coming though to help turn it out. Future Disco: Its where the other weeknights go when they disco.

Friday Night: Mountain Bar

Hanks and Brap will burn down the Mountain Bar like the motherfucking warriors we've always been.




Weekenders Fearing. Scumbags massing. Unicorns Freaking. Metals Burning. Riffs.

Akasa and Trademark Records

Yo...I really dug the Akasa tracks more than usual last night. And the video is dishearteningly amazing.






Trademark Recordings will be rolling November 24. And don't sleep on Rape Valley Records.

J-E-T-S and Electrocution

Damn, I think I like the Jets more than the Eagles right now. Maybe its just because I don't take their bullshit personally. Friggin Pats.
Meanwhile, spring guns are illegal. Spring electrocution is still up for grabs in most jurisdictions. Frayed wires are my future.
Dig the headshot sample:

Just for Comparison

Here's the original video for "Manipulator":

My First Remix! And who but Mack Winston and the Reflections

So if any of ya'll know me or even check in on this piece every once in a while, you'll know that I think the world of Mack Winston and the Reflections. I randomly saw them in Hollywood one night and jumped right on the train. They play rock music properly and without any prefixes or suffixes. Not to say I don't love me some post- and get down with some dance- but its supremely comforting to hear the real thing sometimes. And lucky for us, they played our STAYBAD party at Temporary Spaces in October. And even luckier for me, I convinced them to let me learn how to do a remix with one of their ass kicking tracks, possibly the most ass kicking: "Manipulator." I posted the original on here a while ago and have been quietly tinkering with my version since the party last month. While I'm sure it will never be up to snuff or on par with the og version, I threw some wicked mid-atlantic drums on there and hacked at it til I got this version. Now I'm not saying it can bump in the club, but I'd certainly dance to it. And from what I hear, homeboy Brap is working on his own take on the song and I'm sure it'll be something other than a club track. Thanks for the opportunity guys and now that I got the hang of it, I'm accepting submissions. Holla!
