ride those WAVVES man.

ok, i know this is everywhere right now, but seriously, if you haven't checked this out, then please please do so now.

this is Wavves, dude. a one man project consisting of 22 year old Nathan Daniel Williams and his 4 track and a bunch of guitars and drums. he plays a brand of surf-rock that is pretty unique in that genre. his songs are fast, snotty, blown the fuck out, noisey, but most of all fun. the thing that strikes me the most is how young this kid is... what were you doing when you were 22?

this is a band i would want to see at a house party in the summer time. definitely my new party album.

this is the tape version of the lp on fuck it / woodsist.

shimmy out and ride those Wavves on home

i return with a century of moonlight!

howdy.

i'm back. here's some Ilyas Ahmed for you all to consume. i like this album a lot, it's spacey and spacious and fucking brilliant. when he meanders on some sort of formless wave of free-drone noise it helps to drift along with him and find yourself somewhere else, where ever the notes take you. when he's playing that spectral guitar and howling it's truly ethereal. this is the brightest of Ilyas' releases i've heard, but not bright like cheery, like least smokey sounding and open. it's more sundrenched, but washed out. lovely album, really. i truly hope he sticks around for a while and makes more incredible recordings like this.

be patient, my friends. the wait is almost over.

i have shady internets right now, but in like 2 days i will have good internets again and will resume the postage. sounds GREAT right? i might need to check my pants i'm so excited.

hang tight, lay loose, and keep on keeping on.

a bittersweet passage

i started this blog as something to "kill time" with, something to pass the long, lonely days spent here in my parent's basement while they went to work and my leg mended. it's been about four months. my leg is doing quite well, i can almost walk without a limp at all (considering i had 3 surgeries, 2 plates, 10 pins, and an external apparatus that went into my bone, i'd say it went well.) so now i am going back to my life (i hope) starting tomorrow. i will have a lot less time to kill, so this blog is going to slow down. i know i've been saying that for a while, but whatever. now it's true.

so, in parting with this chapter i am leaving you here with this: a new mix. it's a bittersweet one, again on the downer side. but, it's definitely a good one. get it if you like. i'd like you to.

as stated before, the blog is not dead. by no means will i stop doing this, it's just going to be a lot more sporadic and less regular. i've got about 40 or so albums coming your way over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled. after that, i am hoping to have regular computer access again (i'm getting my old one back! 100 gb of music and all my cds ripped to it! woo!) so posting will resume on a somewhat regular pace, but when that will be i am not sure.

to all of you: thanks for reading and continuing to read. this blog helped me out during some hard times, believe it or not. so, thanks for checking me out. keep on keeping on.

totally awesome MAGMA video

from a 1977 french television show. my favorite Magma song, "De Futura."

good quality and fucking weird!

enjoy.

ever wanted to see comus live?

here's most of their set from their "reunion" show on the Melloboat last year. as far as reunions go, this one seemed pretty awesome. awkward angle, but the sound is pretty good. part 3 seems rather short, but overall this is pretty cool, and at least interesting to see all the main players there after 35 years.

enjoy.
