Weekend Nachos - Bleed EP


Powerviolent stompers Weekend Nachos have a new EP out, and yeah... some shitty pun about making you bleed and stuff... ha  ha man.

Anyways, this is one hell of a stomping, but slower and sludgier than their other material - not much pace in sight.

On That Note...


And by that note, I mean my recent post on A Sunny Day In Glasgow. Here we have a just released, free live album. Yep, free, so you don't have to feel bad about stealing music.


Check it out

Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma


Steven Ellison aka Flying Lotus, has released a new album, and yeah, it's pretty trippy.

Mashing instrumental hip hop with glitchy electronica and the sample-heavy sounds of trip hop, along with some jazz and basically a mixed bag of other random stuff, this is one hell of a ride. A must for anybody who appreciates the more experimental side of hip hop.

Expect to see this at the top end of many best of '10 lists.

Doom Cult

So you checked out Ulcerate, and thought "Wow, this is from New Zealand?!"

Yes, apparently so. But they aren't the only extreme metal practitioners to come from the land of sheep...



Doom Cult is a group of NZ bands playing death metal, blackened death metal, and black metal. Pretty decent stuff really. Diocletian seems to be the leading band, and their members actually play in the other groups too (namely the other two groups here). Michael Hoggard of Ulcerate also plays guitar for Vassafor live.

Unfortunately the Doom Cult website is down at the moment for some reason, not sure what's going on there, but you can find some of this stuff at Invictus Productions.

Time to get on with this shit, got to make up for not posting much lately.

And what better way to get back into the swing of things, with some more albums by the greatest musician to have ever lived?

The Return


I have returned from the sunny lands of northern Queensland, and I am happy to be back in the cold. I brought some sunny stuff back with me though...

What's That?

...A double post?

Make it a triple.


Tomorrow I will be migrating north for some much needed sunshine, so I thought as I won't be posting for a week and a bit, I might as well leave you with some fresh tunes to make up for it.


Ciao.

Wolf Parade - Expo 86


New album from Krug + Boeckner and co.

Those eccentric Canadians have hit their stride as far as coming together in a unified fashion song writing-wise, but still Expo 86 doesn't have the same kind of high points as their debut. It's a very solid listen, but it kind of just sits at the same level for too long.

Regardless, it's enjoyable.

Japandroids - Post-Nothing


Yet another album I for some reason or another put off listening to in '09.

2-piece band from Vancouver, trying to sound like a 5-piece, and they do pretty well. Quite a noisy, almost shoegazing sound sometimes, based around guitar and drums, with both of them singing.

Some good stuff; noisy indie rock with plenty of energy.
