Trying to make some room so I'm getting rid of un-essentials. It's an "all over the place" bunch of crap/stuff... Converge, Clockcleaner, Clock DVA, RAT AT RAT R, Red Sparowes... I'll be adding a bunch more tonight as well, all to end on Sunday.

Music Shit / Cult of Youth?
« on: November 06, 2009, 09:21:17 AM »
Heard a few things about this band, checked out some of their stuff on the "interweb", couldn't decide if I would be into them or not. As a DIJ fan I thought I may be into it, are the records or live shows worth checking out?

Pop Punk / Pre-Orders - To Do or Not to Do
« on: November 05, 2009, 09:19:01 AM »
I recently joined an old friend and re-started a label that had been dormant since the early 2000's. We just got the test pressings, gave our approval, and now production is rolling on a new 12"EP.

I have been annoyed more than once by labels doing pre-orders and then having to wait more than expected because either the label doesn't have its shit together, is using the pre-order to pay for production, has not even approved the tests pressings, it is run by mongoloids, etc..... Also, some labels, when they count on having a super over hyped limited release, well sell out of copies before the record is even out, therefore fucking over any future "fan" of said record.

Mixed feelings here.

Music Shit / What makes a person DEVO?
« on: October 08, 2009, 09:00:59 AM »
I was thinking about this today, and decided that anyone who identifies with pride as "straight edge" after the age of 30 is DEVO, and I mean the people who wear "sxe" t-shirts, x up their fists, etc...

I think the same about sports-team fanatics who feel the need to wear gear featuring their favorite team's logo at all times.

A lot of times, I myself feel very DEVO.

(DEVO as in DE-EVOLUTION)

Music Shit / Where to send LPs for review these days?
« on: September 23, 2009, 11:38:32 AM »
A DIY label I help out is doing a 12"EP for a relatively new Washington, DC band. This label was active in early 2000's and then went on hiatus, back then there were still plenty of zines to send your releases to for reviews. Other than the obvious  (MRR, Razorcake, Give Me Back, etc..), what zines are left that do music reviews?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS ?s/t? LP - 3 songs ( about 45 minutes ) of massive doom, think Khanate meets Corrupted, mastered by JAMES PLOTKIN ( old lady drivers, khanate, phantomsmasher ). Black Shape of Nexus? brand of doomic energy is drawn from bands like Harvey Milk, Karp, The Melvins, godheadSilo, more a sort of downtuned propulsive sludge with doom elements, than pure doom. Thick ropy buzzbass, pounding destructo drums, throaty howls, grinding guitars, all lurching and swaying like some drugged and demented superrock doombeast, all filtered through a bit of grinding screamo and some buzzed out metallic blackness. Produced by James Plotkin. Spiffy black and gold sleeves.

DEATHRATS ?s/t? 7″ - Debut 7″on purple splattered vinyl by these Washington, DC female fronted hardcore punk thrashers. Watching them live is an experience in of it itself (does that make any sense?), now they have transferred all the rage and energy they put into their notorious live shows onto a slab of vinyl. For fans of I Object, PUNCH, Lebenden Toten, Coleman (remember them?), and awesome noisy ear-blasting hardcore. Limited edition of 300 with silk-screened covers.

SALOME ?s/t? LP - 4 songs of massive, heavy doom / sludge metal somewhere between killing groovy riffing and the absolute lava viscosity of BURNING WITCH; hailing from Virgina. ?Drug-induced and alcohol-fueled heavy stoner slugdecore with thundering guitars, pounding drums and eerie painful screamed or grunted vocals from a female vocalist. SALOME take the obligatory SABBATH-influences in their riffing and transcend them into a monotonous, but no way lethargic monster that tends between pure hate and some hidden melancholy. Actually unbelievable that it is only guitar and drums building this massive wall of sound and that it is an airy lady having this ugly voice from somewhere deep below. This shit is goddamn HEAVY!?
