For sentimental value, my OG feedtime s/t with the screened cover.
feedtime destroyed my hearing last night and this may have clouded my judgment.
I  reserve the right to provide another crown jewel over the weekend.

"Austin's Spray Paint touches on discordant post-punk on their latest burner "Polar Beer," due on their forthcoming LP Punters On a Barge. Anchored by monotone, robotic vocals, "Polar Beer" bounces along with an atonal bent chord as the primary melodic vehicle, driven forward by a simple drum beat and adorned with squelches of noise. The Fall comes to mind, as do recent favorites like Total Control."

Music Shit / Re: Stooges S/t -- 45 years ago today

« on: August 06, 2014, 03:01:24 AM »

It was listening to Radio Birdman's version of "TV Eye" in the early '80s that led me to the Stooges. Looking at the label it was (The Stooges) that made me delve further...
I don't know how many degrees of separation it is that a conversation with Bean last night, guitarist with The Dacios, who stated the bonus track on their reissue LP was written "to sound like my own take on TV Eye, without sounding exactly like TV Eye".

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / HOMELESS update: SUBTLE TURNHIPS Redhair, DACIOS Monkey's, YES I'M LEAVING

« on: August 01, 2014, 06:49:22 AM »

Been a while. Now we're back.

French sloppy garage punks SUBTLE TURNHIPS new album Redhair With Some is available now and limited to 350 copies only.
5th album, mixed by Mikey Young. Gatefold sleeve featuring freaky art by Batman Zig.



Listen: http://homelessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/redhair-with-some

*********************************************************

Tasmanian siblings Linda J and Bean of legendary noise outfit Little Ugly Girls released a classic album of sonic fuckery on CD only in 2009, combining elements of The Stooges with VU and as someone said "Monkey?s Blood finds The Dacios sounding as if a young Jason Spaceman had drunk beer instead of taken drugs, replaced an orchestra with a pissed-off Patti Smith and got to the point."

At just 250 copies it's Homeless' most limited release to date and sold out at the source. It won't be repressed.
Revolver, Forte, Goner, 1-2-3-4 and Florida's Dying have stock. Don't Buy Records and X-Mist will have theirs next week.

******************************************************

One of the greatest albums released last year was the little-heard Yes I'm Leaving Mission Bulb, which we had a little cry about that it wasn't offered to us. We're pleased to be rectifying this on September 29th, along with the new Yes I'm Leaving album Slow Release

Yes, I?m Leaving have been toiling away in Sydney's suburbs for a few years, releasing three LP?s and perfecting an intense live show that is something akin to a sonic melting pot of bands such as Scratch Acid and Big Black. The band?s rhythm section, comprised of bassist David Cook and drummer Anthony Boyer, create a brutal steamroller that serves as the perfect platform to aid Billy Burke?s thrashing guitar and borderline tortured vocal delivery. Not since the days of Lubricated Goat has Sydney seen such an intriguing mix of noise and menace.

"Yes I?m Leaving?s formula revolves around punishing rhythmic passages of noise that repeat relentlessly until broken in the form of a shouted chorus before it quickly returns to its sludgy backbone. It?s almost symbolic of the way they view the world in their lyrics. Choruses act as reprieves from the chaos, cathartic life events that create an escape from a life led in continual mental anguish. Here, Yes I?m Leaving?s barely restrained edginess tears out of normality for a raging reprieve before the inevitable return to a mire of silently shot glances at the outside world."

it's very good and almost always overpriced on the usual sites.

I've never seen it over here and haven't been prepared to pay those high prices you speak of.
Thanks for confirming I should keep looking.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Re: THE STICKMEN s/t + Man Made Stars on Homeless OUT NOW

« on: February 16, 2014, 06:16:54 AM »

No less than 3 Valentine's Day gobbies for The Stickmen, deservedly so...

1). Record of the Week status bestowed upon the self-titled LP by Aquarius Records:

"The Stickmen were the rare band from Hobart who persevered in their hometown long enough to develop into an amazing antipodean amalgam of Flying Nun / Xpressway NZ fuzz-pop, post-Birthday Party scum rock, and dour American math-rock, but probably not that many people ever heard about them. In fact, WE had never heard of them, until this album showed up in the shop; and yeah, they are pretty goddamn great."

http://www.aquariusrecords.org/

2). Soundly Sounds stated:

"There?s this band right. They?re called The Stickmen. They?re from Hobart, Tasmania, the cesspit where culture goes to die, or so say all the Sydney yuppies I hang out with. But how can that be true, when a band such as The Stickmen, such a visceral, and violent, and genuine act, one that displaces conventions and turns heads like a NASCAR race, comes from such a territory? Surely, there?s been a mistake?
Indeed, there has, but it?s got fuck all to do with locale. Instead, it?s all about the sad, sad day in music history that accompanies the fact that The Stickmen aren?t really around anymore. Like The Primitive Calculators, it took an ATP curation to resurrect these former heroes. Also like The Prim Calcs, these guys absolutely shredded all that the squares hold dear, bringing punk rock spirit and intensity to songs that could be properly appreciated. Underground heroes? Fuck that, these guys need to be revered the world over. At the very least, they?re a million times better than Nirvana.

Which is why, with a stifled cry of enlightenment, comes the re-issue of The Stickmen?s classic albums on Homeless Records. I fucking love this label: Bits of Shit, The Stabs and Cuntz are just a couple of the bands to be spewed forth from these guys, and the world is actually a better place for it, tipping the scales of pop mediocrity back to punk rock genius spasms.

Listen up, you putz, you scum, you wretched bile-I?m about to devote a couple hard-earned paragraphs to why you should go out and buy both these fantastic albums. It?s not because they?re limited edition, or because some of the covers are ?special?, none of that Sub Pop shit. No, you need these albums because there is no other band out there like The Stickmen."

http://ryansaar.com/2014/02/14/album-review-the-stickmen-the-stickmenman-made-stars/

3). Australia's best music writer Patrick Emery dissects both albums at length, coming to the conclusion:

"The Stickmen is a band that could probably only have existed for a discrete period of time, and within a claustrophobic geographical and cultural space. That such time and space existed in Hobart in the 1990s is something that should be celebrated."
