Stereolab - Pack Tr Romantic Mind

From my very favorite Stereolab record, Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements.

Trans Am - Motr

Always cool to start the day with something you haven't heard in a while. A long while in this case.

Zak Marcom - Roads

Great soundcloud page here.

Venue - Distant Highways

Ahhh, Venue. SO fantastic. Download the Free Desiréena EP here.

Wasted Time by Fear Club (w/ Ashley Garcia)

Falling down the soundcloud hole and there's no place I'd rather be right at the moment.

Buried Brothas by Coolbrothas

I LOVE this. If anyone digs this, please repost, as it's by some friends of mine and I'd like to see it get some mileage!

Nightmare Air - Icy Daggers

Just heard this group for the first time right now. Really, really diggin' it.

Grimm Teachaz Bandcamp

You apparently can't buy this anymore. It's listed as sold out, and it seems as though the digital files only came existed for those who bought the physical. I remember this being a conundrum to me when I first found it, back in 2010 around the time I interviewed Serengeti. I think I asked him about how to get it and didn't get a straight answer, which is kind of cool despite it being a skosh frustrating. Not many things stay enigmatic in the digital age. Grimm Teachaz - already kind of an alt-reality 90's hip hop group - has remained that way now, at least to me, for three years.

Cool.

Grimm Teachaz - I Getz (featuring Son Doobie)

Another Serengeti project, but this one's is a riddle. The group didn't really exist, or at least not when they say they did (90's), although if you follow this back to youtube you'll see a lot of folks claiming they 'saw' them live.

Nope.

I Love this track. A LOT.

THIS is specifically why I dislike most rap today - I miss when bass heavy, trippy, smoked-out hip hop ran far and wide. Now it's like pulling teeth just to get dudes to actually hone and demonstrate vocal prowess. Non-vocal rap, I've heard that's what they call drake and other such acts. That's kinda like Christian Death Metal, isn't it?

Serengeti drops the Kenny Dennis LP today!!!

Thanks to the infallible Mr. Brown for alerting me to this with an AVCLUB article you can read here. I Love Serengeti's stuff. I interviewed him a couple years ago (read that here and here).

Ben Shepard (Soundgarden) Solo Record

First track off Baron Robber, Soundgarden bass player Ben Shepherd's first solo record. Reminds me a bit of Down on the Upside-era SG, which is a very good thing. The record comes out 8/27. Oh, and it's under the handle HBS.

Miranda Sex Garden - Play Video

From the Suspiria album - my second favorite of the bands' (and yes it is named after the Dario Argento movie).

Katherine Blake's vocals have always scared me on this one, but now seeing her 'sing' them, even moreso.

Miranda Sex Garden - Transit Live

I'm having a Miranda Sex Garden day. This appears to be in mono, but it's still very cool, as I've never seen footage of them playing before.

David Lynch - Star Dream Girl

You know, I really want him to do another film, but I'm pretty damn happy with him releasing music every two years.

Queens of the Stone Age cover Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines

Also via Pitchfork (and BBC)

Mark Lanegan - Methamphetamine Blues

Also from the album Bubblegum

Queens of the Stone Age cover Mark Lanegan's 100 Days

YES! Queens covering one of my favorite tracks by Mark Lanegan, 100 Days from the Brilliant record Bubblegum!!!

House on The Borderland

Forgot to post last week's edition of Thee Comic Column. You can read all about The House on the Borderland here.

Polica - Interview (2012 Slacker Radio)

Rykard - Peter & Clark's Big Idea

Interesting...

I know nothing about Rykard, but I'm liking this.

Boards of Canada - Palace Posy (Tomorrow's Harvest)

Last week I completely forgot that the new Boards of Canada had come out. Well, scratch that, what I'd completely forgot was that June 18th had come and gone. Where the hell did June go? Anyway thanks to my good friend Jacob I received a copy over the weekend and pretty much haven't stopped listening to it since. If anything can derail a Godflesh binge, it's new Boards of Canada.

Palace Posy is one of my favorite tracks. There's something regal about the way it moves, but also a bit dancy. Also, it reminds me a bit of Badly Drawn Boy, but I'm not sure what track (and I only know two records' worth of his music). Welcome to the Overground maybe?

RIP Richard Matheson

Well, today just started to suck.

Joe Rogan talks to Bobcat Goldthwait about Willow Creek

And as long as I'm tripping off that, here's Joe Rogan's podcast where he talks to Bobcat about the making of the aforementioned (in the previous post) new movie Willow Creek.

Bobcat Goldthwait's New Movie...

... is a found footage, bigfoot flick?

Wow. Did not see that coming. Still, man's a genius, I'll see anything he does.

David Lynch - Noah's Ark

From Crazy Clown Time. I'm basically just killing time until the new Lynch album comes out.

Ghostlight Trailer (via aint it cool news)

Via aintitcoolnews. Looks like there's some hinks in the acting/script, but it also looks like they did a great job with the tone considering the low budget. I'll see it - looks fun.

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things

Part of my viewing this evening. Been a while, but this is a great flick. What it lacks in budget (and fashion sense for fuck's sake) it MORE than makes up for in tone and that special sick quality that grainy film and an amazingly twisted score will produce when married together in the perfect amounts.

Favorite moments: From ~1:01:15 and right about 1:20:27.

And if ya didn't know, same director as A Christmas Story (among other titles of note).

Patrick Wensink on Unbound - Fiction on the Radio

If you've not read Patrick's book Broken Piano For President you REALLY should. It's fantastic, and it introduced me to the new guiding light of my life. WWGD? (what would Gibby do?)
