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.
