Single's Night

SINGLE"S NIGHT MIX

Nan is out soul dancing with Chard tonight and I am left alone with the collection...what to do? Make a crucial mix for my people. Here are twenty songs for you to enjoy. -Joe




1. Cult of Youth- Eye to Eye
Incredible nihilistic pagan neofolk from these New Yorkers..
Somber and atomospheric...the sound of the post industrial malaise?
Limited to 325 copies on THICK ass white vinyl.

2.Black Flag- Life of Pain

Here is the legendary and rare alternate version of Life of Pain pressed on the limited Licorice Pizza giveaway single. This was given at the LP record store as a promo for the upcoming Damaged Lp...Legend has it that many copies of this were thrown away in the trash after the promotion was over. Who knows how many of the original 1000 exist. Either way, this alternate version is sick and you will love it.

3.Armitage Shanks- One chord Wonders
These Medway drunks bring you a great Adverts cover that is booze soaked and highly enjoyable. Raj and I went to check these blokes out last year and they were fucking shit hot...this band is the real deal.

4. Jacuzzi Boys- Age of the Giant Jellyfish

Killer modern psych that is on the darker side of things....kind of the counter point to the more blissed out Gris Gris. Brooding and drenched in reverb. New shit from Florida that is recommended.

5. Meat Puppets- Dolphin Field

So...you think you know about the Meat Puppets? Country fried acid rock, right? Wrong. This is full tilt thrash that is so wild and frantic that it teeters on the edge of falling apart at any minute. This is where they began musically and it (and the first album) are my favorite material of theirs. Sure they got mellow and weird, but fuck it this stands on it's own. great, great, great.

6.EC8OR-We are pissed
Berlin based electro/techno/punk/core stuff on the Digital Hardcore imprint. I am very into this, it is intense and has a different bag of influences that makes it interesting to me. Gina from EC8OR is one half of Cobra Killer which features another of my favorites: Annika Trost.

7.Templars-Night of the Seagulls

Cult NYC oi. If you know me, then you know that the historical Templars are an area of great interest to me as well as Oi! music. Combine the two together and you have the perfect band and record. Night of the seagulls refers to a legend where the murdered Templars return from the dead with their eyes burned out as the living dead to kill villagers as revenge for their ancestors betrayal of the TEmplars. Anyway, awesome band that will be here in Boston in June. I'll be there.

8.Monster X-Nailed to the X

Holy shit! Mid nineties straight edge grindcore mangling classic straight edge songs. MX's "To the Positive Youth" ep has them tackling these posi core tunes. Here we have Bold's Nailed to the X being reworked and you know what? I almost like it better. You?

9. Real Losers- Let's go totally nutzoid

These Brits do the cave-stomp-garage-punk-bash thing very well. I love the trashiness that these three louts kick up. Primitive rock sounds so good sometimes...on Wrench records also out of the UK.

10. Knugen Faller-Inte som ni

Swedish punk with amazing female vocals that jump off the record and take hold of you immediately. This might be my favorite new band/single of recent years. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I like this and why it rules so much...please listen to this and seek it out before you can't anymore. Pressed in limited quantity on Wasted Sounds/Ny Vag records.

11. Daily Void-Haa Ha Haa

Another entry from this new Chicago band...Super apocalyptic punk that is noisy and jagged. Perhaps the best punk band in America now? 100 pressed on white vinyl on the Florida's Dying label.

12.Neon Hearts-Venus Eccentric

As I type this I realize that I chose quite a few British bands this time around...oh well it was semi random. This diy 1977 release is one of the the top 10 punk songs ever made, period. Argue with me if you can... hyper rare and worth it! essential listening for all punks and likers of good music.

13.Undead- Social Reason

Fuck you, it isn't a single. It is a primo cut off of the NY Thrash Comp from 1981. I wanted to hear this and here it is. This song is a prime example of the best Ny had to offer in the early eighties. Bobby Steele's band after his "exit" from the Misfits. Did you know that for a minute this band was considered a bigger band than the Misfits at the time? It's the truth. Killer core.

14. Bold Ones-Open your mouth

A new acquisition that I'm listening to for the first time right now...hmm I like it ok, but I'm not floored. I'm going to listen to it again..what do you think? Let me know. Limited edition of 500 on Horizontal Action rex.

15. Black Market Baby- Youth Crimes

Great classic DC punk that straddles the line between brit influenced anthemic punk and the burgeoning hardcore sound the gelled in 1981. Released in 81 on the great Limp records. This band is so classic...I love the chorus in this song so much...Heavy, melodic and punchy punk that is all rough and tumble..no filler here. I also recommend their excellent Senseless Offereings Lp on Fountain of Youth records if you dig this.

16. Plexi 3- We know better

Nan and I saw them at the Abbey Lounge last year and like what we saw. This is their new single and I just listened to it. I really like this uptempo number. Sort of poppy, sort of punky, but not lousy pop-punk at all. Maybe a hint of wave here too...More cool shit from Chi-town (must be in the water out there)Limited to 500 on HoZac rex again.

17. Youth Korps-Break Loose, Disappear

Not alot of pure thrashing' core in this installment...so I thought you'd like this. YK is from New London Ct,but recorded this unheralded classic ep at Boston's legendary Radiobeat studio in pre-gentrified Kenmore square. All the classic beantown core' came from this studio....This is ultra fast, distorted thrash hardcore and it smokes...why don'y you own this? Like SSD, Neos, Deep Wound, Siege, et. al? This belongs in that pantheon of classic slabs. Oh yea, two quick songs here..

18. Clone Defects- Shapes of venus

Clear vinyl on In the Red label. Swaggering trash from these Detroit folks. They sure sound fucked up here....I like it.

19. Lurkers- Love Story

Last entry in this mix. Great Ramonesy influenced punk from 1977 Britain. Great shit seel out "Aint got a clue" single and Fullham Fallout Lp also. Great buzzing downstrummed chords bashed out here...Can't beat authentic punk from the first generation....incidentally, this is the first release on the legendary Beggars Banquet label.

Falling Economy Relief Pt A

Falling Economy Relief PART A(now with ALBUM ART!) ---> DOWNLOAD HERE.::

With the economy failing and our world leaders doing everything short of throwing money at the problem...oh wait...nevermind, they just did in the form of a 600 dollar economy stimulus that will probably go back in the bank account for a rainy day...which is everyday for some people...ahem, anyway, enjoy the first of many more Falling Economy Relief mixes to come.


Les Savy Fav - What Would Wolves Do
This is off their new album. Wolf howling and awesome key changes make this song dynamic and interesting. Tim Harrington is probably one of my favorite vocalists/lyricists in the genre combining a "fuck you" attitude with nice social commentary. "What Would Wolves Do" is another addition to Harrington's anti-technology rampage. It's the art-punk primativist anthem to end all art-punk primativist anthems.

Pipi Skid - Math
The master of the tell it like it is policy drops math on math. Off the "Money Matters" 7"...highly recommended if you like tongue in cheek baked into a pugnacious flow and a nice beat courtesy of McEnroe.



Justice Yeldham & the Dynamic Ribbon Device - Madison
Imagine some dude rubbing his face on glass attached to a microphone, spit and snot included. This is the Australian Justice Yeldham in a nutshell. It's a bit more interesting than most noise, but you'll just have to pick this up to see the photo evidence to believe it. Recorded live.



Jay Reatard - see/saw
Damn, this dude knows how to write rock and roll songs. Hot off the presses from Matador. Limited quantity.





Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - I'm Not Gonna Cry
Scandalous bass lines and funky horns and dope drums and yes, Ms. Jones on the cut. Feels like 1967 all over again.




John Smith - Of No Fixed Address
This 7" came out of no where and I was lucky enough to have ripped off Jay Seagraves via hiphopinfinity.com to get it (which is fine since they charged my ass 20 bucks to get a review so I feel justified). McEnroe laces the beat, John Smith drops more war stories of a hip-hop artist from Canada on the road. Modest and ostentatious at the same time.


Striborg - Psychedelic Nightmare
The intro sounds like it's going to be something off Interstellar Overdrive, but then it morphs itself into a ghastly garage sounding black metal dirge featuring delay pedal abuse on the vocals. Pretty grim stuff. Off the split with Scurshahor on super freaking heavy vinyl done up Southern Lord stylee.



Stereolab - Excursions Into 'oh - a oh'
Kind of house-music-ish? Danced out bassline and pretty vocals locked into place with some panned retro synth styles that only Stereolab can dish out which turns into a nice little rock and roll freak out at the end.




Melt-Banana - Neck On B1
Facts about Melt-Banana: they are more popular in the US than they are in their home country Japan, the lyrics are combinations of words and phrases that the lead singer thinks goes well together (her first language is Japanese), their guitarist wears a dust mask to protect him for particulates, this record is actually a 6". I could think of more, but in the meantime you should listen to this inspiring genre-flipping craziness.

I Will Kill You Fucker - Part 2
I thought this 7" was going to be the crazy brutal hardcore these guys normally do (Brainoil, Lana Dagales), but instead I was delighted to discover this 7" is chock full of skits, theaterish stoner rock ballads, a couple of beats, and a really crazy gatefold silk screened packaging design carved at a 45 degree angle on muddy brown wax. It's hit or miss at times, but definitely worth picking up.

Mia Doi Todd - Autumn (Nobody RMX)
Dollar bin find featuring two remixes, one by DNTEL and one by Nobody. Being a fan of Nobody's "Western Water Music", I was excited to see this instrumental (which appears there) get treated to Mia Doi Todd's thoughtful and earthy vocals.


Condenada - Puertas Falsas
Their band name is translated into "Condemned". Pissed all-female feminist punk rock played with instrument proficiency and anger with vocals sung in spanish. This song is about the false doors of fake promises offered by people who think they are holding all the keys...not anything new lyrically, but this song is crafted well from the cool stop/start intro to the end. Reminds me a bit of later Black Flag (think "The Bars"). No doubt this 7" has been and will be very overlooked.

Blues Control - mashpotato
First thing that struck me about this gem is the artwork (done by the might yJeremy Earl)...the second thing I noticed was Blues Control's side. It's weird psychedelic drone with a hint of exotica. Drum machine ties all the weird floaty disparate parts together along with a cool melody (guitar or keyboard...not sure). This is a split with Heavy Winged.


Existereo & Deeskee - Cry Me a River
Off of Deeskee and Existereo's recent masterpiece "Hopeless Crooks with Open Books". A nice soul sample starts this joint with a slightly desperate, slightly hopeless crooned chorus by Shapeshifters member Existereo. I think the song is about women and relationships, but I might be off. Either way, this chugs along with a slightly party flavor that gets blasted in half time on the second verse. There's an awesome synth bass line played on this song, too which may or may not be the guy from Mars Volta...I can't remember. The flip side features this song remixed by M. Fusion.


Orthelm - Paincave
This will probably give you a headache due to its extreme inconsistency, but that's what Orthelm (and their split partners Behold the Arctopus) specialize in. It's either improvised math rock played at 45 or technical metal written with no previous knowledge of the prior parts due to amnesia. Double bass drum, grindy at times, lots of shredding on earblood red vinyl.


With my George Bush money, I plan to buy more 7" records.

ALMOND MILK HARDCORE MIX

Not to take any steam away from Joe's engine...but I just finished a quick mix of stuff I thought was "brutal" I guess...I'm at a loss to describe these well. Hope you like.

DOWNLOAD ALMOND MILK HC MIX.

9 SHOCKS TERROR - CONTROL IS LOST
Just got this from Joe actually...super frantic midwest hardcore that's got a bit of a random streak - the last line of the song goes All control is lost, Robots f*cking each other up - and some gnarl - unrelenting thrash beats and a sick ass guitar solo.

THIS SCARES ME - THE KISSING GESTURE
I got this 7" randomly with an order and was happy...the 7" packaging features a rib cage design on card stock paper with a card stock band around it with the band logo. This reminds me a little bit of Rorshach with the change ups...gutteral female vocals and chunky guitar sounds. Scary, indeed.

DESIGNER - PISSIN IN MY BED
Snatched from the notorious ACCIDENTAL DEATH 7" comp (number two) on the now defunct Satan's Pimp label...totally dirty and nasty and awesome about not giving a whut about wetting the bed, kind of rock and roll, lots of guitar fuzz makes you feel like you did it, too.

JESUIT - YOUR SHARP TEETH
Pre-Dilinger Escape Plan noisy metalcore. This song is about waiting for somebody way too long. The dude just pulls some breaking and entering and gets in the house, ready to do some damage. I have their first seven inch and this is definitely a more mature metalcore sound complete with cowboy shirt and f*cked up riffs. Sweet drums.

ARTIMUS PYLE - CRIPPLED HEROES
"Heavy as f*ck" has been used to describe these guys. I would agree. Awesome basslines and pounding drums with lots of crash cymbal smashing courtesy of Jensen Ward from Iron Lung. Really well recorded, too. The content of this song deals with sad state of affairs for veterans in this country constantly being given the middle finger. Featuring members of What Happens Next?. Still available on Prank records.

BURNED UP BLED DRY - COUNT ON YOURSELF
The subject content is forgettable but the sonic destruction unleashed here is unmistakable pissed off hardcore with a healthy metal streak. Throw in some blast beats and a guy who sounds like he swallowed two cans of extra hot sauce and you got yourself some brutality. Members went on to form BG.

UNRUH - IN THE LAST HALF HOUR
This song is about receiving a phone call about a good friend's death. This 7" split with Creation is Crucifixion was repressed a few years ago, so it might be easier to track down...it's worth it. Metalcore classic.

COALESCE - IN THE WILDERNESS
Coalesce covers a Boy Sets Fire Song. Not a huge fan of Boy Sets Fire, but I like what Coalesce does with it. Basically, dual guitar attack adding layers to the somewhat bland BSF original along with throaty vocals flanked by a bit of post-hardcore singing. Not bad. I almost feel like this is a guilty pleasure band, but then I say, nah...the Functioning On Impatience LP is rugged and raw and recommended.

DEFEATIST - NOTHING AND NO ONE
One of my favorite 7"s of recent acquisition. This one's from the split with KURSK...super short and pummeling grind fury.

ENEMY SOIL - DIRECT ACTION?
Enemy Soil basically pulls the card on fake ass activism that is fairly apparent in "the scene" with this catchy jam from their split with Agoraphobic Nosebleed. I believe this is the first release where they had an actual drummer after doing the drum machine thing. It's a raw recording with a demo feeling mudded out bottom end. I like it because it still retains a heavy sound. I actually wrote to the band to say how much I dug this but I confused the title with their WAR PARADE 7" (which is horrible because it features said drum machine). I got a nice reply, but I'm sure the band (who openly hates on the 7" themselves) were a bit confused. Members went on to from the crazy jazzed up Avenging Disco Godfathers.

LORDS OF LIGHT - SITAR CORE
Comic art adorns the covers of most of these dudes' 7" releases, perhaps suggesting a not so serious streak. Baritone guitar and precision drumming with vocals by August Alston (Walls, Society of Friends) who belts out two flavors of vocals - a deep growly one and a lighter high pitched pissed at traffic scream, both on this tune.

OUTBREAK - OUT(BREAK)TRO
Post youth crew hardcore thrash stylings? I don't know. These dudes are f*cking negative which is a different vibe from many of the other Bridge 9 entries. The name of the 7" is "You Make Us Sick" and is on gore red splatter vinyl. I sniff a hint of spoof with these guys. This song is the anthem.

THREATENER - ISOLATION KING
Midwest fastcore death. Damn. So much brutality in so little time. On 625 records.

YELLOW MACHINE GUN - MY EYES UNDER THE SANDS
Introspective all female death metal from Japan. I saw them years ago and I guess I still can't believe how well their sound and cutesy cartoon aesthetic translate live.

THE SWARM - BLINK
Brutal because Chris Colohan wears soccer shorts at shows and dances hard even when the crowd is done moshing. I respect that. This one's about growing old with no respite in sight. Some parts are similar to converge, some parts are similar to Norwegian death metal. So of course it's brutal. The rest of this 10" (still available I think from NO IDEA!) is punishing like this song.

DAMAD - RITUAL OVERFLOW
Pre-Kylesa crusty Georgian melodic mid tempo crushing hardcore. Time switch ups and really disturbing samples. Find this 7" of the same name...the cover art and the B side are dope.

Here is a new mix for you kids....

So...I ripped a bunch of my vinyl to make a mix for you. There was really no theme or criteria that I was using and instead went for a random cross section of styles. Some of the songs here are old classics and some of them are from new bands whose records I have recently picked up... I am including a link to a zip file for you to download the awesomeness contained therein. Enjoy!

Track listing and commentary coming soon.....I have to teach 11th graders some History right now!!woo!!

1. Bone Awl-Show me (Meaningless Learning Mess Lp)
Here is a cool record that I just picked up and absolutely love it. Black Metal played by non-Norwegians!! This stuff is memorable because it is recorded so raw that it sounds like a demo recording. The garagey quality to it is what rules the most about it. Oh yea, the vocals sound like Ulver’s natten madrigal Lp.

2. Daily Void-In the Year Zero
Holy fuck this new band kills me with their noise/punk attack. If this is the state of punk in 2008 then I feel pretty good about things…Good punk should be way underground, ugly and threaten your sensibilities. Great shit from Chicago’s ex Functional Blackout people.

3. Easy Action-Worse for you (Friends of Rock n Roll)
Negative Approach were classic for their nihilistic aggression and unfettered hatred for the world….well, Easy Action is ex NA singer John Brannon’s newest band and this shit is fucking intense. Cross NA with a Stooges/MC5 vibe and you‘ll have an idea about what this monster sounds like. Desperate and violent…

4. His Electro Blue Voice-Das ep
Cool Italian noisy rock that has me interested.. Joy Division meets noise rock with agitated broken English vocals. Limited edition 7” that you should track down immediately.

5. Lost Sounds- Head of the Tyrant (Future Touch Lp)
Jay Reatard and Alicja Trout create an amazing song here. Totally fierce and frantic cold wave punk…This band is missed.

6. Replacements-Kids don’t follow (Stink ep)
Totally classic Minneapolis punk trash put out by these drunks.. Anthemic, fast and driving punk with killer bass lines that are better than your bands!

7. Changes-Bleeding (Fire of Life Lp)
Authentic Neofolk from 1969. These Satanists were part of the late 60’s Process church scene and were the first folk band to incorporate satanic elements into their music. Scary stuff….the sound of true believers…

8. Damned-New Rose (Damned Damned Damned Lp)
1977 British punk that is better than virtually any of their contemporaries….This song is literally one of the top ten best songs ever written….

9. Drunks with Guns- I got the gun (S/t Lp)
These fucking lunatics hail from St. Louis and they play noisy punk that is anti-social and has no socially redeeming qualities…A must own record…This shit is damaged…..”fucked up on beer and drugs!” yes, yes, yes.


10. The Fall-City Hobgoblins RoughTrade ep
Great Manchester style punk that manages do be somewhat arty, but still rough edged and catchy. I finally got this gem after years of wanting it.

11. Firehose-Brave Captain (SST Lp)
Ex Minuteman Watt’s first outfit after D. Boon’s death. Quirky up-tempo shit that makes me think of Natas’s skate scene in Streets on Fire. I love this song.

12. Leonard Cohen- Dress Rehearsal Rag (Songs of Love and Hate Lp)
Forget Lou Reed. Leonard Cohen is the man. No rock biz schmaltz here, just real emotion. I just picked a copy of this up and have been listening to it non stop.

13. INFEST-Pickled, Sicko
Infest is the band that makes you want to throw bricks at people…

14. Outburst-No Choice Miles to Go ep
Criminally underrated NYHC from 1988 that flies under the radar. Hard and uncompromising shit that somehow avoids being thuggish.

15. Personality Crisis- Case History (Rat Music for Rat People comp)
Canadian hardcore punk with weirdo vocals that hits the right spot. Mitch Funk was the singer’s name and he had a funny handlebar mustache.

16. Testors-Let’s get Zooed out
Awesome 1977 NYC punk from Sonny Vincent. More like Dolls/Johnny Thunder’s style punk than hardcore. I love the garage recording style and trashy aesthetic.

17. Thrones-Silvery Colorado (Day late Dollar short)
Joe Preston’s solo weirdo shit. Some of the tracks on this are thick and sludgy, but this one sticks out because it sounds like a fucked up noisy Twin Peaks nightmare sequence.
18. Wipers-When it’s over (Youth of America Lp)
The Wipers are a classic Portland outfit that puts elements of surf, psych and punk into a fucked up and brooding mess. This song makes me feel fucked up.

No rules for you and me

PURE HELL - NOISE ADDICTION ---- this record is amazing. It was dug up from the depths by Welfare records (somewhat local and awesome shoppe/label). It's incredible...from nineteen seventy-seven...first (?) all black punk band...and they opened up for the pistols. Really sloppy yet technical guitar work and the drums rule. I'm copping this ASAP.

NEW MIX!

So I made my first mp3 mix.
It's the FFFFFF mix culled from various 7" records.

Here's the link: FFFFFFMIX!!!

Here's the tracklisting and why I dig these songs (in no order)

ADLIB - TERMINAL
-Very noisy and pretty off kilter drum programming. DJ SPOOKYish noise collages but a bit more distant.
BUSINESSLADY - SPACE FOR FACE
-I booked a show for this San Diego band and 3/4 of the band looked strung out on heroin. The lead singer had an odd aplomb, dressed in a fuzzy suit with a fuzzy penis - his alter ego that he draws comic books of. The bassist jocks Rudimentary Peni and the drummer wore overalls.
DIE MONITR BATSS - PHYSICAL DISTRACTION
-Very nervous and minimalist. I bought this on a whim on account of the obnoxious yellow cover. The presence of scant female vocals holds this track together both sonically and conceptually.
UNWOUND - EVERYTHING'S WEIRD
-Seattle post-grunge? This song is definitely representative of earlier work from these kids.
CAMERA OBSCURA - WRITING KODAK
-This is the other CAMERA OBSCURA...this short lived San Diego band released two 7"s...this one from the WE TALKED IN MIDI picture disk 7"...sort of their Magnum Opus...a 7 + minute orchestration with whispery vocals and decent build ups. It's really the slinked out bassline that does it for me on that one chorus part...ah uh...31G.
SHELLAC - WINGWALKER
-One of my favorite Shellac songs..."a plane becomes a metaphor for my life"...simple and well miked drums, a strong bassline and Steve's fidgety guitar work finally culminates into a frantic breakdown...like a crashing plane...
HYDROMATICS - FULL THROTTLE
-Instrumental rockabilly from some Reno dudes. The guitarist brought a grip of these 7" (on clear lime green wax!) to a record store I worked at and I gladly took one, being broke and 16.
LORDS - HOLY GHOST OF THE INFIDELS
-I saw these guys while on tour with a friend's band. The drummer was amazing...not only because he slammed five or six cans of beer while playing, but because his chops are very on point. Slint influenced rock from TN. The drummer also plays a loud ass set up along with his band mates (4 FULL STACKS!? ARE YOU SERIOUS?). Nice dudes and a very paladin-ish track from a pre-Jade Tree release.
THINK IN FRENCH - THE COMPLETE BODY OF REPTILES
-A math rock band from Reno who wins the most improved player award. Talented dudes finally record this follow up 7" to their full length...this song is an aberration of what these guys actually do because it's hardcore and gnarly. They are getting sick of requests for this song I'm sure.
EASY ACTION - WORSE FOR YOU
-J. Brannon of Negative Approach/Laughing Hyenas is old enough to be your uncle but is tough enough to be your pugilistic older step brother. This is an alternate version of the song with the same title track that appears on "FRIENDS OF ROCK AND ROLL" LP (which is awesome). A little more raw with less reverb seals the deal.
LEMURIA - LITTLE SILVER CHILDREN
-I have no clue what "Little Silver Children" are. I like pop punk derivatives and I like porcelain female vocals. Breathy vocals shared by a man and a woman. They're recording a new LP which I'm excited for and hopefully on tour. Akin to THIS IS MY FIST.
ELECTRIC EYE - MUSCLE
-One of the many bands featuring August Alston (of Walls, Society of Friends, Lords of Light, Negative Step), this guy is one of my favorite vocalists. He effortlessly switches gears from rock and roll to powerviolence that few can comprehend. He's a pretty funny guy, too. This is his rock and roll motif being played crazily and well.
GREAT UNRAVELLING - RUNNING ON FUMES
-Another Tonie Joy (Moss Icon) project...I don't dig the vocals so much, but fantastic guitar work makes this mostly enjoyable. And the vinyl is jizz colored.
SHORT HATE TEMPER - ??
-One of my favorite powerviolence bands...weird time change ups and still fundamentally sound in the ways of trashcore beats and chunky guitar riffs. And insane vocals.
