New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Yuppies "s/t" LP out on Dull Tools Sept 15th

« on: August 20, 2013, 07:58:02 AM »

ORDER HERE!!!


$15ppd in USA
$20ppd to Canada/Mexico
$25ppd to World

The corn-fed Nebraska boys in Yuppies have been making noise quite for a while now. I first saw them at a house show in Denton, TX when they were in their late teens. Instantly impressed, I took note and have been monitoring their progress.  Fast forward six years and we finally have a proper LP, heavily indebted to the loner-poets that came before them, as if the band is playing This Nation's Saving Grace era Fall via William Burroughs.  Yuppies make no effort to guide you along their dreary tour of the midwests' industrial slums, from the onslaught, you are expected to keep up the pace. This self-titled ripper abducts the listener, holding them hostage for 11 tracks of raw, poetic tension.  "Grab your things, collect your thoughts, we're going for a ride alright alright."


100 on opaque blue vinyl
400 on black vinyl

Comes with digital download!

Music Shit / Tyvek "On Triple Beams"

« on: December 04, 2012, 05:33:51 PM »

Kinda surprised there wasn't a thread already (or is there?)

I don't know yet how it stacks up in my list of favorite Tyvek releases, but I really dig it.  Good to have (most of) the original lineup again.  Fav songs so far are "Scaling" and "Say Yeah".

Thoughts??

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Parquet Courts "Light Up Gold" Preorder

« on: July 01, 2012, 11:45:53 AM »

PRE-ORDER HERE ----> http://dulltools.bigcartel.com/product/parquet-courts-light-up-gold-preorder-aug-18th
LISTEN HERE -----> http://dulltools.bandcamp.com/album/light-up-gold

Little was said about Parquet Courts' debut effort, American
Specialties. Released exclusively on cassette tape, the quasi-album
was an odd collection of 4 track recordings that left those who were
paying attention wanting more. A year of woodshedding live sets passed
before the Courts committed another song to tape. The band's first
proper LP, Light Up Gold, is a dynamic and diverse foray into the back
alleys of the American DIY underground. Bright guitars swirl
serpentine over looping, groovy post-punk bass lines and drums that
border on robotic precision. While the initial rawness of the band's
early output remains, the songwriting has gracefully evolved. Primary
wordsmiths A. Savage and Austin Brown combine for a dynamic lyrical
experience, one part an erudite overflow of ideas, the other an
exercise in laid-back observation. Lyrically dense, the poetry is in
how it flows along with the melody, often times as locked-in as the
rhythm section.

?This record is for the over-socialized victims of the 1990's 'you can
be anything you want', Nickelodeon-induced lethargy that ran away from
home not out of any wide-eyed big city daydream, but just out of a
subconscious return to America's scandalous origin," writes Savage in
the album's scratched-out liner notes. Recorded over a few days in a
ice-box practice space, Light Up Gold is equally indebted to
Krautrock, The Fall, and a slew of contemporaries like Tyvek and Eddy
Current Suppression Ring.

Though made up of Texan transplants, Parquet Courts are a New York
band. Throw out the countless shallow Brooklyn bands of the blas?
2000's: Light Up Gold is a conscious effort to draw from the rich
culture of the city - the bands like Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan, and the
Velvet Underground that are not from New York, but of it. A panoramic
landscape of dilapidated corner-stores and crowded apartments is
superimposed over bare-bones Americana, leaving little room for
romance or sentiment. It's punk, it's American, it's New York... it's
the color of something you were looking for.

PARQUET COURTS from New York

Posted this in the Killed By Myspace thread, not knowing about the Demo Tape section.  I guess I assumed that the Reatard/Lips sections were still there.

Music Shit / John Wayne "Texas Funeral"

« on: August 31, 2011, 04:00:12 AM »

Did anybody pick up the Third Man reissue?  I heard this playing in Permanent Records (Chicago) and bought it, still don't know very much about it.  Have heard some interesting theories regarding the personnel.  Probably the most interesting being that its a secret Butthole Surfers side project.  Any insight?  Anybody else dig this weird record?

Music Shit / MIXTAPE THREAD

« on: June 27, 2011, 05:00:49 AM »

I thought it might be cool if there were a thread were TBros could upload mixtapes.  I know some of you are regular mix-makers right?  I sent my tape deck into the 1/8" jack on my comp and imported it into Garage Band, then into mp3.  The quality is alright I think.

Here is one I made recently.  Usual suspects, but a good jam IMO.

Has anybody ever read or listened to the audiobook of "Evolution of a Cro-Magnon".  This has been recommended to me for a while now.  So far pretty outstanding, I'm listening to the audiobook.

Music Shit / Great current UK bands?

« on: January 30, 2011, 08:39:03 PM »

Not really hip to whats going on over there now other than Country Teasers, Black Time and of course The Fall.  Any suggestions would be great, thanks.
