<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Rocksteady has become one of my favorite genres of music in a very short amount of time. A big part of my appreciation was from listening to this old mixtape from Domino Sound that Hope had lying around our house. I would type out a tracklist but the tiny typewritten insert is hard to read. There's a few "mainstream" artists like the Maytals on here but plenty of stuff that will be new to people unfamiliar with the genre. I used to put this tape on in my kitchen in New Orleans while I cooked lunch every day, and I can only imagine how much it annoyed my roommate who subsisted mainly on soccer podcasts and bad EDM albums. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Domino Sound in New Orleans is one of my favorite record stores/labels. Their proprietor has a knack for tracking down extremely rare music and making quality mixtapes from the best of his finds. I was first intrigued after I heard a handful of his Rocksteady/Roots Reggae tapes, but his African mixtapes were what really got to me. You can track down two of those (<i>Ibi Na Bo </i>and <i>The Eyo Beats</i>) elsewhere on the internet, but I had trouble finding the Ethiopian compilation <i>Eshet Eshet</i> anywhere and had an even harder time tracking down info on a lot of the artists it features. These tapes sent me down a formidable wormhole and led me to lots of other great African artists, and I think that's the intent behind these mixes. A note on one of the rocksteady mixtapes reads: "Pass it around, free up the music" and it's in that spirit that I upload this excellent mix. Domino Sound still cranks out tapes once in a while, so keep a look out-- I don't usually buy on blind faith but it's always worked out for me with this label. </span><br />

The following is another well-curated batch of tunes entitled "FEELINGS." This is what she has to say about it: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook";"><i>In high
school, I bought a cassette tape, special ordered from the Strawberries Records
between my house and my school. This was
same record store that would later ask our band to play the midnight release of
Metallica’s short hair album. The tape
was from a band my friend had taped off the college radio station, put on a mix
tape and delivered to me like a precious secret. We spent fall of our senior year dissecting
and detective finding out all we could about all of the mystery bands---Mission
of Burma, the Queers and Archer of Loaf.
When I got Archers of Load Icky
Mettle I had it in my walkman for weeks.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook";"><i>Ok, I am
aware how dated this may seem to you.
Before digital playlists and apps that can name that tune for you, we
had radio mysteries and friends of friends, and older brothers and sisters
sharing their music. I still have a few
mixtapes from high school. The music
may be available digitally but I treasure the cardboard inserts, careful
handwriting, and wear from pockets or bottoms of backpacks and car floors. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook";"><i>I wanted to
make a mixtape for a friend who was going through a break-up. We are older and smarter and our decisions
may be more calculated but we still feel sad and, sometimes, indulgent. I wanted to make a mixtape celebrating the
range of emotions, something like driving around the dark suburbs in New
Hampshire listening to Archers of Loaf over and over, broken hearted, with a
broken hearted friend, laughing because we were sad and we didn’t know yet how
angry we could be. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Schoolbook";"><i>Here is to
the explorations of feelings. It’s a bit
over the top, but sometimes that is what you need. I ended up not making this as a mix for my
friend because when it was done,it didn’t seem right for him. And by now, he’s moved on, doing better than
either of us knew could be. Now this mix
is for you. </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

EP<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have had a lot of fun playing in bands over the years, and have been afforded incredible opportunities that many musicians don't often get. For a long time, the idea that I would get to tour Europe one day, or have people ask me to sign their record, or any other rock cliche seemed far out of reach. Despite these amazing experiences, I still think the most outright fun I ever had in a band was playing guitar in a surf rock band. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We did not have lofty ambitions. In fact, the band started when I jokingly said that it'd be cool to be in a surf rock band called Shark Attack. I had no idea that band would actually form, nor did I know that several other Shark Attacks existed and we'd have to later change out name to <i>Spring Break</i> Shark Attack! Nevertheless, my friend Eric took my joke to heart and we started a band, nevermind that I didn't listen to a wide range of surf rock and had never written a surf rock song in my life. I had (and still have) a serious love affair with Man or Astro-man?'s records, and a cursory understanding of early surf rock, so my foundation was a bit shaky. Luckily, the three other members (Peter and Patrick rounded out the group) were supremely talented dudes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We recorded this demo with Fred Weaver at his studio, Apocalypse the Apocalypse, not long after playing our first handful of shows, I believe. To be honest, those days are really blurry. We once drank so much free PBR at Red Star that the bar ran out. We treated each show (and many practices) like it was the last party on Earth, and we out-partied any band I've ever been associated with by a wide margin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Our first show was at an open mic night at a bar next to our practice space called the Caterie, a pseudo-fratty haven for cover bands. We showed up in suits with all of our instruments, our drumkit, and about 30 of our friends and proceeded to blow through 20 minutes of music. It was a hit and we had a blast. Many memorable shows ensued; we played everywhere from abandoned apartments to steakhouses to parking lots to roller derby half-time shows (two, actually). Our local scene was super supportive of us, and we played to bigger crowds than any of my more "serious" bands. I guess it didn't hurt that we sometimes had go-go dancers, beach balls, and once even a guy in a shark suit who crowd-surfed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We never did much more than some regional shows, but pretty much all of them were a total blast. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Our last show was at North Gate Tavern, sometime in 2009. A bunch of friends dressed up like zombie shark victims and a few brought squirt guns (including Bryan, singer of my other band who nailed me right in the eye during a guitar solo). I like to think we went out in style. Honestly, I could write a hundred pages about those days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here's our original demo:</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?m83e1gv18tv1vrd" target="_blank">http://www.mediafire.com/?m83e1gv18tv1vrd</a></span>AGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969862116785771434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488920907062798333.post-26618779086986507452012-04-24T15:35:00.001-07:002012-04-24T15:38:13.008-07:00Mystic Inane Demo<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When I moved to New Orleans in February, I knew I wanted to start some new projects but didn't really know what kind of music to play or which of my many talented friends to call upon. Lucky for me, my friends Candice and Phil had just started a band with Drew, a somewhat recent Tampa transplant, and were in need of a fourth to fill in on bass. I'd never played bass in a band, but the opportunity to let someone else to take the songwriting reigns and explore a new instrument sounded very appealing. Plus I knew Candice would write awesome punk tunes, having been in a band with her before and being a fan of she and Phil's band Necro Hippies. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We just recorded a demo in our practice space and are doing a short cassette run, but here's a download in the meantime. You could ask any of us what we sound like and probably get 4 different answers, but I like to imagine it as a weird blend of Black Flag, No Trend, and School Jerks. An easier way to put this: snotty mid-paced punk rock. </span></div>

That's great.
<br />
<br />I'm hitting the road next weekend to play a few shows on the East Coast, so I figured I ought to make a lil mix to alternately piss off/please my bandmates. I don't think any of them will enjoy all of these songs, but each of them will probably be into one or more. They're just lucky I didn't upload that Michael Jackson "Man in the Mirror" 45 that I like to play at 33 1/2.
<br />
<br />Since we play loud and heavy music, I figured I should steer clear of most of that stuff.
<br />
<br />Tracklist:
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Freda Payne - Band of Gold
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></span></span></span></span>On our recent excursion to Europe, Henry and Chris from Moloch jammed this song in the car almost every day. I had totally forgotten about it until then, and it remained in my head for the next month and a half.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Mirah - Don't!
<br />
<br /></span>Not to be confused with "Don't Go" or "Don't Die in Me", this is an old Mirah song that was compiled on the oldies/rarities album <span style="font-style: italic;">The Old Days Feeling.</span> Total 50s doo-wop worship in the best way.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Orchestra Baobab - Seeri Koko
<br />
<br /></span>I culled this song from an excellent mixtape called <span style="font-style: italic;">The Eyo Beats</span> that Hope picked up from Domino Sound in NOLA. It's all African music from 1960-1970. I must've listened to this song seven times in a row, seriously. I'm not any sort of reggae aficionado, but this is scratchy lo-fi goodness of the best kind.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Nas - One Love (MF Doom remix)
<br />
<br /></span>This is from <span style="font-style: italic;">Special Blends Vol.1</span>, one of many Doom albums that a co-worker of mine turned me onto long ago in a dishroom far, far away. This is one of those rare instances where a cover/remix actually tops the original.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Witchcraft - I Know You Killed Someone
<br />
<br /></span>From the ultra-rare, ultra-coveted <span style="font-style: italic;">If Crimson Was Your Color</span> 7", a record I look for in every shop I go to. I actually found it in Santa Cruz last summer, but $14 sticker price was a little rich for my blood.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. Chumbawamba - Liberation
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>This is the old anarcho-punk Chumbawamba that most casual music listeners never take the time to get to know. Protest music of the highest order, totally inspiring. </span></span><span style="font-family: courier new;font-size:85%;" ></span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7. Honey Bane - Boring Conversations
<br />
<br /></span></span>I learned of this lady's band through my friend Beck. They were on Crass's label, and she was on the run from the law when this album was cut.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8. Blouse - Into Black
<br />
<br /></span>This is a band that I probably would've hated a few years back. They (along with another band on this mix, Minks) have put stuff out on a trendy New York label and their shows are probably populated with annoying folks with calculated haircuts. Still, the music is great, and I can't fault them for their fanbase.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">9. The Smashing Pumpkins - Here Is No Why
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></span>I got this album in 5th or 6th grade and listened to it constantly. The guitar solo in this song is in my top five of all time (The first solo in "Bohemian Rhapsody" is number one, I think).
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10. Minks - Bruises
<br />
<br /></span>Good lazy morning music, or when you're stuck inside during inclement weather. This is from live radio session that was released as <span style="font-style: italic;">Araby.
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">
<br /></span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">11. Weekend - End Times
<br />
<br /></span></span>Driving shoegaze-ish new wave. I don't understand why I don't like New Order but I'm down with stuff like this.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">12. The Magnetic Fields - I Think I Need a New Heart
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>I used to hear this song on the radio all the time, and after about ten times it finally grew on me. Now I can fully appreciate the coldly depressing lyrics juxtaposed behind some upbeat guitar and Latin rhythms. This dude plays all the instruments on his records.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">13. Adrian Orange - Blushing
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>This is the one all of my bandmates will probably hate. The lyrics are just great, though. I would never think to start off a song with the line, "have you ever seen an asshole crying?" but I'm glad this guy did.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">14. Callers - More Than Right
<br />
<br /></span>I talk about this band so much that I probably don't need to say anymore. I listen to this song every morning, the earlier the morning the better.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">15. Knife in the Water - Sundown, Sundown
<br />
<br /></span>An awesome Lee Hazelwood/Nancy Sinatra cover done by an obscure 90s alt-country-rock band. They named their band after the Roman Polanski film, but of course this was years before we all learned what a creep that asshole was.

I had heard a couple of their tracks online (thanks, Miguel) and was super super excited to see them. 3 young kids, still in high school, playing brutal powerviolence. Then they discovered marijuana and rode that wave from slippery Eyehategod-style riffs to full-on psychriffery. Their live show blends the old and new material, but I'm gonna upload these older trax that Bryan sent me a couple months back. Thou/Cower split is in the works right now (they already have their side written) and should hopefully be out before our European tour this summer. You can download their newest album for free on their bandcamp site here: <a href="http://cowerpdx.bandcamp.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Land Before Time</span></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ups9tlt1gnr85"><br /></a><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ups9tlt1gnr85">DOWNLOAD OLDER TRAX</a><br /></span></span>AGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969862116785771434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488920907062798333.post-35712717459550047392010-11-15T08:21:00.000-08:002010-11-16T20:03:32.146-08:00Morning Music<span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Good morning. Today it is cold and rainy outside, but I have the day off and am drinking coffee at my desk. Here are two albums I like to listen to in the morning when I'm not quite ready for an all-out aural assault.<br /><br />The first is by a band called the Callers. They are from New York and they are amazing. They just dropped a new album, but Hope and I haven't gotten around to ripping the vinyl to mp3 yet, so here's their old album, <span style="font-style: italic;">Fortune. </span>You will love it, I promise.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?z1g89i8bzyl6qvl">The Callers -- Fortune</a><br /><br />The second is by Cassette, an acoustic project by a lady named Samantha Jones, who was in that band Bitchin. Just mellow acoustic jams with some sparse drumming and bass work here and there.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?lav67j7v0206w7k">Cassette - s/t</a><br /><br /><br /></span></span>AGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969862116785771434noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488920907062798333.post-58449786023404662010-11-04T19:42:00.000-07:002010-11-04T19:54:45.490-07:00Diet Cokeheads<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">Oh, my. Here's an awesome band that's part of the ever-prolific Florida noise-punk thing that's happening now. Drink the shit that's under your kitchen sink and crank these jams to 11. Just listening to this right now makes me want to quit my job and faceplant straight into slacker heaven. Dissonant, heavy, and absurd. For people who are too fucked up to give a shit. Naw, fuck that. For people who are too lazy to even download this shit. This, of course, is all a ringing endorsement.<br /><br />If you're in BR, come see them at 869 Violet on 9/21.<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zjhbxfqlw2j9bnx"><br /></a><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zjhbxfqlw2j9bnx">DOWNLOAD</a><br /></span></span>AGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969862116785771434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488920907062798333.post-49941943490761342292010-07-12T14:38:00.000-07:002010-07-12T15:00:58.148-07:00THE GIFT<span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:85%;">One of my favorite bands that I ever met on the road was D.C.'s legendary TURBOSLUT. They were four women resurrecting the spirit of bands like SPITBOY while putting their own spin on the genre, especially their later stuff which had a definite noisy-sludge element happening. Unfortunately for the human race, they broke up a few years back. I was crestfallen upon receiving this news, and my fellow bandmates and I tried diligently to convince the ladies to reunite so we could tour Australia. I recall very distinctly sitting outside of the van in Austin late one night before a show pleading with various members of the band. It just wasn't meant to be. Luckily, I kept in touch with vocalist/guitarist/life coach Beck, and she sent me a demo tape of her new band in the mail this past month.<br /><br />They are called THE GIFT. While retaining the bleak lyrical content and punk edge of Turboslut, the songs have a noisy grunge influence that really set them apart. The vocals are heavier on the singing, with some shrieks thrown in at the right moment. One song starts off really pop-punkish and transitions flawlessly into straight up dissonant black metal, complete with blast beat.<br /><br />My favorite thing about this band is how they really don't sound like any other band happening right now, even though you can hear strands of different genres spread out in these songs.<br /><br />Word has it that they might be down here in October to play with GHASTLY CITY SLEEP. More details as I get them.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?gmnja5jdiu5">THE GIFT - DEMO</a><br /><br /><a href="http://thegiftdc.livejournal.com/">WEBSITE</a><br /><br /><br /></span></span>AGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969862116785771434noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488920907062798333.post-87046315902468750852010-07-05T18:09:00.000-07:002013-04-24T21:09:15.679-07:00We Need To Talk<span style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"><b>We Need to Talk - It's Not Us It's You</b><br /><br />I met Matt Sexton eons ago in a past life where I lived in New Orleans. We both went to punk/metal/whatever shows and attended the University of New Orleans. Over time we had always talked about starting bands together, which we eventually did. Unfortunately, none of our bands lasted very long or played shows, which the exception of Hundred Eyes (a thrashy hardcore band that did a lot of Tragedy aping) who played a few shows in Baton Rouge and New Orleans (notably a couple shows with anarcho-legends REQUIEM and a show in a gutted-out house in Lakeview right after Katrina with MATT & Kim, of all bands). That band eventually fell apart for many different reasons, but out of its ashes-- and without Matt-- formed We Need to Talk. Shorter songs, more blastbeats, etc. I bring up Matt because this band would've never formed without him, and I would've never got to play in such an enjoyable group. Also, we've been friends for a long time and I credit him with getting me into a lot of the punk/metal stuff I listen to these days, which influenced my drumming on this record a whole, whole lot. Cheers, mate.<br /><br />WNTT was around for a few years, and in that time we did 9 days on the east coast with my other band Thou, a Florida/east coast tour with LOADED FOR BEAR from Chicago, tons of BR/NOLA shows, and Thou vocalist/long time New Orleans Punk Dictator Bryan Funck put out this sweet 7" for us.<br /><br />Our last show was in Baton Rouge with American Cheeseburger in a squatted apartment on Carlotta St. and was one of my favorite shows of all time. Someone had to break into the place with a crowbar, but luckily the power was still hooked up. Louisiana Punk Rock.<br /><br /><b>Tracklist:</b><br /><br /><b>1. 96</b><br /><b>2.

I guess because I've been too busy tending to my own bands and all that. Oh, and there just haven't been too many shows worth going to. But then, after a long day of recording the next Thou EP (and two Nirvana covers) and then playing a show at Hey! Cafe with Baby Boy (alongside the amazing Small Bones) I heard about a killer punk/garage show going down at the Saturn Bar. It was actually a pretty loaded night for live music between those two shows and Hurray For The Riff Raff at Allways. I felt like Riff Raff was a little too mellow for my blood on a Saturday night, so off to the Saturn Bar we trekked.<br /><br />Missing Monuments are a throwback garage-rock band fronted by King Louie (cornerstone of the burgeoning NOLA garage scene). Just like every other genre of music ever, I normally hate this kind of stuff. I know, right: What other genres could I possibly loathe? New Wave? Proto-metal? Jazz-Fusion Metal? So-called "Noise Rock" ? Well, sure. There's always some band out there that will make hate an entire genre. And by the same token, there will always be some band that will be the exception. My thing with garage rock is its lack of innovation and reliance on rock cliches that were worn out by real garage rock bands in the 60s. Dude, I get it. You like "chicks" and "getting kicks" and "cheap thrills" and shitty guitar playing. But it's the year 2010. I'm sorry.<br /><br />Well, Missing Monuments had a little more attitude that all that, and they actually had some decent hooks. If you don't have good hooks with this type of music, you might as well sit at home and think up a new genre to ape. Oh yea, the singer had some classic quotes like, "we are the best goddamn band in this city, so fuck you!" A dubious claim? You better believe it. Entertaining? Yes, definitely. And that's all that really matters on a Saturday night in a dirty bar, I reckon.<br /><br />Super Destroyers took it a notch higher. Still poppy and garage-like, but with a dose of punk mixed in there. And vocals that worked really well. And no pretense. Looking forward to see these dudes again.<br /><br />Nobunny came up next, but I didn't catch the whole set as I was outside catching up with some people. When I got back in I saw guys in bunny masks going apeshit while a sea of bodies swayed across the room. Genre-wise, I guess you could call this garage-y punk. Emphasis on the punk. It was hard to even concentrate on the music since I was defending myself against the general cacophony.<br /><br />The Spits brought their A-game, and after a few drinks I was in some kind of A-game mode as well. No garage-y bullshit with this band, just raw working-class punk dressed up in cutoff denim vests. The crowd was out of control from the first note and after a few songs standing my ground, I finally gave in to the undulating mass of sweat and got lost in its flesh-swath. At some point I even crowd surfed, though it was short lived. The band did a marathon set with very little fucking around between songs, and even pumped out an encore or two. Finally the heat took over, and the drummer yelled, "we're not playing any more songs, everyone get the fuck out!"<br /><br />That show was a classic example of how playing on the floor instead of a stage is infinitely more enjoyable for both the band and crowd. People are much more apt to dance around and enjoy themselves when they're on the same level as the band.</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Twin Stumps, Kyklooppien Sukupuuto, Kim Phuc, Nutria Assault @ The Saint</span><br /><br />Degree of Awesomeness Index: 7/10<br /><br />Saturday night did a number on my body and mind, but a good punk show is often enough to motivate me for Round Two. After drinks at the obscure Garden District Pub (served to my cohorts and I by my favorite bartender/friend-4-lyfe Anne) and a bowl chili at the Half Moon, we wandered over to the Saint just in time to see Kyklooppien Sukupuuto. They are a hardcore band from Finland who seemed very excited to be in the states. The crowd was mostly tame except for a couple of crusties who were apparently having a very good night. There's always that dude at the show who insists on a one-man mosh extravaganza. I appreciate someone wanting to incite some craziness at a hardcore show, but if no one else is feeling it then you just look like an asshole shoving everyone. Anyhow, the band was exactly what I wanted: fast, loud, and excited.<br /><br />Kim Phuc was up next, and I was really pumped on what I had heard online. Plus, one of the dudes was in Caustic Christ. They brought it pretty hard with some mid-tempo noisy hardcore. You could probably call this "post-hardcore" but that's kind of a stupid sounding description. They were really awesome, though. The one-man mosher stepped up his game, so I was forced to step mine up as well. He kept knocking into me and making me spill my drink, so I was shoving back and getting kind of peeved. It sucked because I was trying to focus on the band. Well, he finally knocked me to the ground, at which point he helped me up and apologized profusely. At least he was a nice guy. Still, he was being THAT dude.<br /><br />Twin Stumps fucking sucked. I don't even want to waste another sentence on them.<br /><br />We hung out outside with the singer for Kim Phuc, who was one of the nicest, most enthusiastic guys I've met at a show. Then we did a shot of whiskey and drove home.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span>AGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969862116785771434noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488920907062798333.post-1758018831418638732010-04-26T13:52:00.000-07:002010-04-26T14:45:45.072-07:0016 Songs in 17 Minutes<span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:85%;">No bullshit here. 16 tracks of punk/hardcore ranging from the 80s to 2010.

That's gotta count for something.<br /><br />A few months ago I got this bootleg from Bryan who got it from Andy who runs Robotic Empire. It's Pygmy Lush and Des Ark playing a bunch of mostly new stuff live. The first half is just PL, then some collaborative stuff between the two, and also some solo Des Ark. Disclaimer: this is some gutwrenching shit. Both bands seemed to have stared deep into the abyss with this new stuff, so be careful driving down long, winding, roads with it on. I can't vouch for these songs enough. They crawl into my subconscious and wake me up into the middle of the red-eyed night. <br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /></span></span><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?twyzjnt5dnx">DOWNLOAD HERE</a>AGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969862116785771434noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488920907062798333.post-23797822027674965572010-01-11T13:57:00.000-08:002010-01-11T15:30:50.011-08:00The Let Down / Necro Hippies / Fisher Cat @ Allways Lounge<span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The cold has been keeping me indoors and away from shows, but I sucked it up and made the trip to New Orleans for this Books 2 Prisoners benefit show that Hope's band was playing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Let Down / Necro Hippies / Fisher Cat @ Allways Lounge<br />Degree of Awesomeness Index: 8.5/10<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span>I'm a big fan of fun. And even after a long, bitterly cold night rife with deafening music and copious whiskey shots, I'm often willing to do the whole thing over again the next night. Such was the case this past weekend. We opened for Eyehategod on Friday night, and it seemed that everybody wanted to buy me a whiskey shot. 8am could not have come any quicker the next morning, but surprisingly my body aches were minimal. And so onward I trekked to the Marigny Theatre/Allways Lounge (formerly Cowpokes, for you NOLA-savvy show-goers) with the usual suspects and a flask of Evan Williams Green.<br /><br />The night started off memorable enough, between one black-out drunk Hispanic man trying to hit on Hope but failing miserably before getting kicked out of the bar, and a more friendly nearly black-out drunk woman buying everyone in the bar shots of whiskey.<br /><br />The show itself kicked off with Hope's band The Let Down. Obviously I'm a bit biased, but I have to say that I normally hate shit like this. As I've said before, folk punk is not my thing. Well, this band has awesomely New Orleans-centric lyrics and they balance out the usual acoustic guitar/singing combo with singing saw and banjo. I mean, you have to love songs about not having sex in certain bar bathrooms because you've got standards. Anyway, they were fun.<br /><br />Next up was maybe my favorite band in New Orleans right now (which, yea I know, changes every month), Necro Hippies. Man, they are fucking punk to the bone. Snotty 80s-style hardcore, plenty of dancing around with beer flying everywhere. I had almost forgotten how fun punk shows can be until that night. In BR, it's rare that people really get into the music and dance around and have fun. And shit, it's actually pretty rare in NOLA too. But that night the planets aligned and all was right in the world. They closed with a cover...I think it was an SS Decontrol song? Every one was going nuts, from unshaved miscreant Thou roadie Derek Z, to nice collegiate-looking Uptowner couple Darin and Nathan Acosta. The crusties, the weirdos, and the hangers-on all locked arms that night.<br /><br />The next band was Fisher Cat, who I've actually been meaning to see for a while now. The singer wrote this badass zine called Breakfast which you should all read. I really didn't know what to expect, and by this point in the night I was 2 glasses of wine and 2 Johnny Walker Black Labels deep, plus the joint was packed so it was hard to see. From what I could piece together, they fused spoken-word poetry, noise-rock, and hardcore into some creepy gelatinous blend. It was weird, but people were into it. They seem like the kind of band that I would put first on a bill just to freak out all the people that came to see the more "normal" headliner.<br /><br />After they were done, Juvenile's "Back Dat Ass Up" came on and a dance party broke out. We called it a night after 3 songs because we're only so tough, you know.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br /></span></span></span>AGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969862116785771434noreply@blogger.com0
