Morning Glory - The Whole World Is Watching 2003

one of my favorite CRS7 releases. i love ezras vocals and playing and the songs all sound great. it tends to be faster than CV/LOC, and more straightforward than INDK.

i am sad that he is re-addicted to heroin.

Dakota/Dakota - Shoot In The Dark 2003

i had this whole mental review planned out that was basically "imagine condensing an 11 minute EITS song in to 2.5 minutes, or think if russian circles wrote songs instead of riffs+atmospheres, and youd have this album" but then i figured out that Russian Circles is Dakota/Dakota with a different drummer. swish!

this album* is completing my trifecta of good mathy albums, along with Good Luck and Amber Daybreak

*nope, the littlest viking replaces this.


1. Hamburger Help Us
2. I Hope To God I’m Not A Sheep

Amber Daybreak - Sentinels 2009

ill be the first to tell you screamo is not my genre, but these belgian kids rip it up. this album is listed as "skramz, emo violence, post hardcore, and screamo", but im pretty set with just calling it screamo because i dont give a shit. listen to it anyway.

Ben Frost - By The Throat 2009

i dont even know what to say about this man. hes found his sound. its a denser theory of machines, its crushingly emotional, it sounds like being completely alone. if i could pick a sound to make when i scream, this would be it. this album sounds so completely and hopelessly desperate there are tears coming out of me. i would kill to run this through my amp right now.

Izah - Finite Horizon/Crevice EP 2008

if ISIS and converge gave up and decided that cult of luna is the superior band. the clean vocals are kind of goofy, because theyre dutch, but the growling is distorted and neat.

Bobby Beausoleil and the Freedom Orchestra - Lucifer Rising 1981

In honor of the holidays, why not throw a little mayhem and murder into the mix?

The name Bobby Beausoleil probably doesn't mean anything to most. He was a prolific musician in the '60s psychedellic music scene of California, offering his talents to many actgs, most notably Love, a band that Jim Morrison praised as capturing the essence of psychedelics and realism. After that, he was contracted to score the short film, Lucifer Rising, in the mid '70s after Jimmy Paige was taking his sweet time with the project. He's also released several more intrumental albums since then. However, it is important to note that he released all of his music from prison while serving a term for first degree murder. To make the deal sweeter, it was the first of what would be many murders associated with Charles Manson and "The Family."

1969, Beausoleil and members of the family go to an associate of theirs, music teacher Gary Hinman, as they claim he owes Charlie and money. Now, whether that is true, and it probably wasn't, Beausoleil had had a history together of mutual musicianship and Hinman gave Beausoleil a place to crash from time to time. Bobby gets closer with the family (though never a part of it; just another musician Charlie was able to charm), Charlie says something, it is fact, boom, lets kill some bitches. Long story short, Bobby kills Hinman and steals his car, which is how he was eventually captured.


So yes, the dude is tied to one of the most infamous murders/cults in history, but with that being said, that is not just some kind of gimic; this guy is talented. The whole score of Lucifer Rising is some of the trippiest, yet most solemn and somber music I've ever heard. And to top it all off, on tracks V and VI, Bobby shreds. All of the music was written by him, most was performed by him save for drums and extra guitar, and all from prison, which I think is quite an achievement, since I know how well recording from prison can go (please see: any of Charles Manson's recordings or, better yet, Burzum's last two albums. Absolute shit.). The music fits the Aleister Crowley influence perfectly, but more than that, it's just good music. It's also a LOT fucking better than Jimmy Paige's vision. Turn it on when you drive (if your drive is 43 minutes or less), or when you just want to zone out. And if you're interested, check out his other albums. Albeit less focussed, they still display great musicianship. So, without further adue...

Because I Can

and because theres not a goddamn thing you can do about it, top 12 songs (couldnt hit 10) of the last 4 years (not necessarily released in the last 4) in order.




NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS : sigur ros - saeglopur (wrong hard drive), BTMI - syke life is awesome (wrong hard drive), converge - in her blood, electric wizard - funeralopolis, streetlight - saddest song, hives - abra cadaver, interpol - specialist, isis - carry, jesu - sun day, last days - i remember when you were good (wrong hard drive), the peacocks - for you, port royal - jeka, the rentals - california, saprogenic - force fed excrement, sleep - holy mountain, third eye blind - motorcycle drive by (wrong hard drive), tokyo police club - citizens of tomorrow, torche - mentor, velvet cacoon - avalon polo, voxtrot - the start of something, baroness - isak, kill the zodiac - we breathe from the same mask

Rosetta - Wake/Lift 2007


heartbreaking. took me a while to fully appreciate it in relation to other post metal wankery (ISIS), but this is so much better than anything else in the genre. the vocals have completely grown on me, and matt weed's guitar playing is so fucking beautiful i want to drown in the tone, even if its mostly a super delay pedal.

"This is the kind of music that deserves to be blasted at obscene volumes, filling every inch of a room with its natural textures and droning noise."

also, in this video when the fugazi-skinny singer is yelling with no mic i want to wave my dick at strangers because YELLING IS AWESOME. is that weird?

Jackie-O Motherfucker - Flags of Sacred Harp 2005


unbelievable. it contains both two of my favorite non-noisedrone songs, and one of my favorite noisedrone songs. psychedelic does not even begin to describe JOMF's sound. its not as noisy as say, aidan baker or alasehir, but it is noise, for the most part. and somehow it's crushingly pure and solemn. both the male and female vocals are perfect, with the male vocals in particular being horrifically well-done. i have had a complete mental breakdown in 6minutes47seconds to hey! mr. sky.

its like....fuck....being alone on the plains on a warm summer day with a guitar as the sun falls behind the mountains and the mescaline starts to take effect. and all of your dead ancestors suddenly show up to tell you that they are proud of you, and life is perfect, and god only exists within you, and that everything will always be okay, and that it is natural to worry, but not important. also they want you to know that you are hopelessly connected to every living creation on earth, and that this is not a bad thing, and that the incredible ecstatic feeling you have deep in your stomach right now, as the blue of the sky starts to slowly degrade to darker and darker shades and bright pinpoints of light emerge from the blackness pointing your way heavenward, is god, and all things are set right.


shit dude. its fucking amazing. just play it loud. take drugs if you can, but it's not important.

Deadbolt - Shrunken Head 1993


DEADBOLT! The self proclaimed "scariest band on earth." Is it true? Not in the least. But these are some scary good tunes. (I likingz to be witty.)


Shrunken Head, their debut full length, is a crawling, surf infused rockabilly gem. You've got more reverb than you can handle, catchy riffs, a constant drum pulse, and Harley Davidson's signiture low, raspy spoken word vocals about all things from cheesey horror flicks to being a postal worker. The sound is straight from a swamp, and truly can be captured by the term they coined, voodoobilly. What's more (not so much on this release) is the band's trudging pace is enhanced by using 2 basses, which they call THE WALL OF THUNDER. Regardless, this album is Cramps worship at its finest, and is a must for those who like '50's rock and an air of spookiness to their tunes.

Good Luck - Into Lake Griffy 2008

amazing amazing amazing. pop punk with a lot of folk/math influence.

Stealth Mode!


because this band's record label has proven terrifyingly effective at cockblocking any hosting/sharing of the album, even several months after its release, youre going to have to torrent it. but you probably should, because its a lot of fun.

The Specials - The Specials 1979

2-tone ska is one of those things that's great in theory, but in practice is actually pretty bad. But with that being said, The Specials are about the only band that got it right (for the most part).

This is really the quntessential 2-tone album. You've got the reggae, the first-wave feel, but also a dash of punk, but on a lesser note, a dash of annoying Brittish vocals. Either way, though, this is a solid album most of the way through. Little Bitch is probably the best ska song ever written post first wave, Dawning of a New Era is one of the happiest songs ever written, Do the Dog and Concrete Jungle are just great tracks. The rest of the album I can live without as far as original songs go, but the highlights of the album are the covers, no question. A Message to You, Rudy is one of the best A) openers to an album, and B) best reggae covers, ever. But then you get to Monkey Man. You will shit bricks; it's that fucking good. The original is perfect, don't get me wrong, but the sped up feel the Specials give it breathe new life into it that you never knew it needed. Absolutely brilliant. There arent enough good things to say about the great songs, so without further brown-nosing, i present 2-tone, the way it should sound. U-N-I-T-Y.

The Aggrolites - Dirty Reggae 2003


This album is the pinnacle of modern reggae. And that's probably because it sounds EXACTLY like it came from '69.

The Aggrolites started in the late 90's, early 2000's as a backing band for Derrick Morgan. As if that's not enough reason to listen to them, they've also been used as the backing band for Prince Buster and performed on Yo Gabba Gabba, the scariest, but coolest kids show of all time. They also play with Tim Armstrong sometimes, but no one gives a shit because he can suck my left nut.

But the music on this album is perfect. They use a great mix between songs with vocals and soulful interludes. The sound is straight up Kingston, and they're from LA. Crazy. But regardless of where they're from, this, their debut album, is a great place to start with this band, but is by no means a place to stop (I will help with that as time goes on.) It shows a love for good reggae, soul, and skinhead culture before it got fucked. It represents reggae in its purest form and shows that there is A LOT more to reggae than smoking weed and being a hippie. So be happy! Turn this album up as loud as it will go and FEEEEEEEEL it. Also, if you're not feeling it by the end of the album, the title track alone will change your mind. Incredible.

Mogwai - EP+6 2000

very very good. and very sad. but put together much better than later albums, even though its a compilation. lyrics!

did you see him when i was away?
i'd have phoned but you would have spoiled the truth
will he be at the pub tonight?
i'll hide my rage and take a sip.
will he be yours as of today?
will i never see you now if you're taken?
are you still wearing the ring?
when she told me i was a little shaken.
like a bird, a feather bed, my sister says, and we'll get wed.
and i should tell you that i adore you,
but i'm sure that i'd just bore you.

Jesu - Heart Ache EP 2004




jesus fucking christ how is this an EP? and how have i not heard it until now?

holy shit.

i dont even know. this is like everything jesu has done, but rawer and denser and with the same lyrical patterns as all the later shit (meaning it sounds unbelievably personal and ultimately universal at the same time, which means he can easily make you feel like shit without any effort expended on his part). its like the self-titled album reduced to nothingness.

but what do i know i cant even feel my fucking hands.

Blacklisted - No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me 2009

oh WOW. its hardcore, but the slower kind, with young widows-y noise rock bits, and they have ballads and trumpets and violin and some girl vocals and its somewhere between crushingly sad and really pissed. it sounds like what i wish fucked up sounded like, because i dont really like fucked up. its very lyrics oriented, so listen to them.



"sometimes i leave the house early, just to ride the subway all day
sizin' up every station, to see which one fits my plan of jumpin' in front of the traaiin"



i dont think anyone is actually reading this, but i cannot recommend this album enough.

Side A:
Our Apartment Is Always Empty
Everything In My Life Is For Sale
J.M.N. (Interlude)
No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me
G.E.H. (Interlude)
The P.I.G. (Problem Is G.)


Side B:
I'm Trying To Disappear
Palisade
Skeletons
I Am Extraordinary
S.M.F. (Interlude)

Plankton Wat - Dawn Of The Golden Eternity 2009

if you like your one man band psychedelic eastern noise drone both noisy and psychedelic, plankton wat is here for you. its very good, very noisy, very pleasant. its a lot like going to a church that you liked going to, but the church is the woods outside portland, and instead of confession you ate a lot of acid, and instead of singing hymns theres a guy with a beard hitting like 12 cymbals right behind your head. AWESOME.

TV Buddhas - The Golden Period 2009

so you know how the monotonix new album sounds like shit, and you cant give it to someone whos never heard them and be like "oh my god the most fun ive ever had at a show" because it just sounds like a retarded noisy shit and not at all like their live show?

tv buddhas are also from israel, and are two dudes who play similar monotonic music. only the album is good, but i cant vouch for the live show. it sounds fun though.

Ben Frost - Theory of Machines 2006

the title track is the most deeply affecting 9 minutes and 30 seconds i have ever experienced. it is like 9 minutes and 30 seconds of that moment when you get hurt and everything gets blanked out of your head. listen to it at full volume, with nice headphones or a really good bass-y stereo. it sounds like god humming.

update: turns out its exactly like 9 minutes and 30 seconds of the scene in apocalypse now redux where willard is talking to the french family at their table and then the main french guy leaves and its just willard and the woman and the sun has set behind her and shes all lit up and shes kind of looking around and then abruptly looks directly into the camera and her eyes like, fucking flash and its incredible to see, even though its only a split second. so 9.5 minutes of that.


update 2: this is it. this is the only song i ever want to hear again. i know it really doesnt do much, it doesnt go far, and it relies upon standard post rock formulas, but this is it. this song is fucking it. the only thing i may ever need. a lot of people dont agree, or at least dont feel it, and thats totally cool. this song is mine, and this is everything that i can still truly feel.


update 3, 1/11/11, WFLM posted this today and i got all jealous again.

Chuck Berry - Greatest Hits 2005

chuck berry rips it up. i even forgive him for using the exact same notes/patterns for both school days and no particular place to go, because he makes me dance. hXc.

Tree Sounds - Naps 2009

if you liked seeing juno the first time, you will probably like this. its a girl and a ukulele and she sings in variable tunings but she makes me feel so retardedly elated to have ears that it would be morally remiss of me not to share. but it really does sound like the moldy peaches or whoever the fuck had something to do with the juno soundtrack, so if you dont like feeling like a big queen i wouldnt recommend it. my favorite thus far is raspberry.

V/A - Short Music For Short People 1999

hilarious and brilliant. 101 bands playing ~30 second songs. as always, dillinger four, mad caddies, the descendents, the vandals, nofx, the living end, and frenzal rhomb are fantastic. actually its hard to say there are any lacking songs, because...fuck it, theyre like 30 seconds. the hi-standard song, dieselboy song, and chixdiggit are really cool too. listening to it straight through is really weird though.

A Silver Mt. Zion - Horses In The Sky 2005

the only album that matters. i could write and write and write about this album but none of it would mean anything. it sounds like the apocalypse, and it sounds beautiful, and it sounds like everything i wanted from my life but couldnt find, and it sounds like dreaming of futures that meant something. it sounds like being in love, and dying, and watching yourself plummet and being powerless to stop it. it sounds like finding a savior, and it sounds like overdosing. it sounds like waking up from a nightmare and writing it all down so you never forget.

  1. God Bless our Dead Marines
  2. Mountains Made of Steam
  3. Horses in the Sky
  4. Teddy Roosevelt's Guns
  5. Hang On to Each Other
  6. Ring Them Bells (Freedom Has Come and Gone)
"first song’s about war and drug addiction, fourth song’s about kanada, and the rest of it is all love songs trulytrulytruly…"
