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.

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…"

Michio Kurihara - Sunset Notes 2009

Gaza - He Is Never Coming Back 2009

monstrous. like someone being drawn and quartered while on acid wrote an album. and they do that thing with the downtempo beat and the 16th note cymbal ride that they have in a few songs on "i dont care" and it still sounds amazing. its distinctly gaza, but for some reason the vocals sound way less varied and much quieter. and a lot of the songs sound the same, but im glad theyre opening for baroness.

Dillinger Four - More Songs About Girlfriends and Bubblegum 1997

they have one of the best sounds in the world, and they never ever ever depart from it but it still works so well. 11 years of releases and they sound the exact fucking same and its everything pop punk should be.



http://www.badongo.com/cfile/5563832

Review! By someone who posts as Jeff Rosenstock at http://re-music.blogspot.com/. Not sure if thats legitimate or not.

"Dag, yo. I guess I was sixteen when I first heard Dillinger Four and although at first I couldn't stand the singer who my friend said "sounded like a fucking girl" in-between choices like Fenix TX and Showoff in his car, this band gradually changed my life. Every aspect about that first record not only grew on me, but changed my opinion on the matter at hand. For example, at first I thought "man, this record sounds funny." At this point, I think all records should sound like Dillinger Four records. They sound perfect. At first I thought "man, those guys don't sing so good" and now I think people should only sing exactly like that, and bands that try to can't pull it off.

I guess the most interesting (read: uninteresting) thing about my discovery of what punk rock could be is that while Midwestern Songs... did completely change my life, this 7" is what made me realize what a great band Dillinger Four really was. If it was still available, I would suggest everyone listen to it as a crash course in the band. Like a real punk band, they cram two songs onto each side. One side is sung by Paddy, who if you're unfamiliar sounds like a bear who has been up all night drinking and smoking. The other side is sung by Erik, who if you're unfamiliar sounds like a tenor choirboy who has been up all night drinking and smoking. On this record in particular, his voice sounds at it's best - more pop-punk than squealy, more Billie Joe than "a fucking girl." The guitars, basses and drums sound like they've been bombed by an analog tape squadron and they explode just off-time enough to make it feel like it's real people playing the best rock and roll you've ever heard.

Dillinger Four makes a lot of astute points about politics, economy, social stereotypes and religion on this 7" without ever feeling like they're telling you what to do with your life, and fuck, man... at this point in my life it was about time I heard a band talk about things that were important to me without being dicks about it. There is a ton of this now, but I feel like in the mid-90's it was very hard to find a good punk band that wasn't either sucking the teat of major labels or so anti-establishment that they lost the idea that punk is about connecting with the disaffected youth, not alienating them even further.

And this is why Dillinger Four are the proper heirs to Minneapolis wunderkind the Replacements. The four songs on this record, despite all that was mentioned before, are four perfect pop songs. Like the Replacements, their live shows can be train wrecks, on record they still sound like they could fly off the rails at any second and they can tackle heavy subjects like your friends at the bar instead of like your professors. And like the Replacements, they really don't sound like anything that came before it, which is ironic because there are a ton of bands that are trying to do the Replacements thing now and completely failing. I guess the problem is that their trying, and people who are as ahead of their time as Dillinger Four was in 1997 just kinda do it.

It's also worth mentioning that this was one of the very first 7"s I ever bought and I'm very sad to say that I can't find it anywhere now. Even sadder is that a 7" I bought around the same time turned up out of nowhere the other day, and that was the Social Climber 7" by Civ. Sometimes life ain't fair."

The Chariot - The Fiancee 2007

i dont even know what to say. yeah i feel guilty, but goddamn they do some amazing things with noise.

oh and the end of "and shot each other" sells the entire album.

Converge - Axe To Fall 2009

YES. compared to past releases, this one is kind of all over the place. like the song cruel bloom sounds like eagle twin, and i think the guy from neurosis is doing vocals. but all of genghis tron shows up on the album, in addition to like 30 other dudes. and its all fantastic. more slow songs, more weird songs, less of jane doe and no heroes. certainly a new-ish direction for the band. i cant wait to see some of this live.
