the bridge is over

this is my 128kps rip of "Lark" from a 12" by Pub on Ampoule...warm dubby house track with lazy summer day ambiance.  

this is "sufrir" from Olympia Washington's Weird TV...someone else posted a rip of their 2010 demo cassette and this track, while it doesn't invent the wheel, has a lot of energy.  Female fronted, lyrics in espaniol, tearing simple riffs.  tape is sold out apparently.  there's a you tube vid of them live in a record store but it's not too involved
On return from World Wars 7 and 8, I bartered wax figure photographs with Psychic-for-Hire double feature...The Shock of the New...now billed as...Erotic Memoirs of the Undead.

All that is left for you and I is to auction sock puppets in opening night ceremonies...Because yesterday was my photographic rise to dictatorship: the grand opening of Hotel Nude Idol. Red carpet reenactment courtesy of Post Hypnotic Revolution. AKA Suspended Animation. From which we now broadcast dog bone-star is-born in virtual high definition and holographic subliminal commentary. Because yesterday was your museum disguised as charity...disguised as an eyewitness disguised as scortched earth revisited...

this first album era (sorry, don't have the date) Specials in a kickass sounding run though of Concrete Jungle!

third stone from the sun

On Neptune, every minute has its own penny. You can only pay for something at its exact particular moment.  I had no friends on Neptune, only acquaintances- We were all immigrants and were all awaiting our papers.

  I met Barnacle Bill there. He trained baby seals for Celine Dion and was famous for putting his head in the mouth of a rabbit. 

"You might pick up a tuba one day," he told me once, "And discover a melody that will stop a nest of hornets from demolishing everything that you love.  No one else needs even to hear it, really.  That's the hardest part for most people to understand." 

ripped my 10" of this and uploaded it at 128kbps.  It's out of print.  These cuts have the same ambiance and musicianship as the ethiopiques#4 disc.  the compositions are maybe a notch less sublime, but they are still groovy, deep, and utterly unique

da do run run

past links are fixed...perhaps i should resume recording and ripping...plunge full waste of time ahead into  the most of the moment...to the interstellar indifference of one hand clapping....poised in the disguise of a used car lot...grown over into a jungle with purple clouds and giant prehistoric flies.



by way of evidence, here i am assaulting a dubstep rave with a videocamera

nappy dugout


Retiring this blog:  checking all the links, backing up everything I can and moving on...Still gonna stop by every now and then, so if you want to shout out some love, drop me a comment or an email...


I posted the following mix in an earlier incarnation of blogdom...a cop out repeat post, perhaps...But no one is keeping score. A couple of these records are a little played out if you are familiar with the style. If you don't, then it's pretty hitting. I knew the records well, the mixing is fairly tight

MIX#6:

records by:

paperclip people/rick wade/jeff mills/demarkus lewis
movers and shakers/maurizio/charles webster feat. martina topley bird
/infiniti



"125 BPM DETROIT HOUSE pearl mix IOZOZOI m.MP3"
I had one of Ben Sim's Split mixes on in the background the other day and the Seldom Felt "Face Value" track literally cut through the speakers and commenced to throb out a perpendicular groove straight parallel to Joey Beltram's brainpan. (Discogs gives this a nod and a wink towards Lawrie Immersion.  Long Live the Stay Up Forever crew) If you can't take this for what it is, I don't want anything to do with you. Timeless. Futurist samples it : HERE

labored over this for quite sometime- a weeks worth of hours nearly...some of it is records through a mixer, some of it is ableton renderings, and some of it is some sloppy traktor (only a mouse and no cue) If there was anybody reading this, they'd recognize it incorporates some mixes from earlier posts. Time to use your money back guarantee, I suppose
ten minutes of a Zeke show 09.29.99 @ chain reaction. not giving a fuck and rocking out for broke. You think you know what rock and roll is? Fuck what you know. Rock and roll jumps out of a pickup truck and beats your ass...I have this whole show if you are interested.


a track each off of these LPs...chinese cha cha by alfredito and virgenes del sol by sumac...the latin spectacular disc is otherwise just ok. the rest of the songs on fuego have actual lyrics, slower tempos and didn't appeal to me, but this is fairly good. is "taki rari" sumac's finest moment? From what I've heard the answer is yes, but suggestions are welcome.


decided to trust the admirable strut label to school me on the italo. a little bit goes a long ways for me- too long as a matter of fact- the comp didn't really turn me out any. except the firefly track which is about as good as say, a solid p&p cut. The build up from 3:45 is prime time floor filler

your pretty face is going to hell



Most dedications are added to the start- but now that the rain and the sky and a room full of dirt have all been turned upside down together, you and i can do nothing but forget one another...All of this uselessness is dedicated to the last two women who went searching through the pockets of your corpse, a pair of sexed up lottery addicts who were complete strangers, both to us and one another


INFERNAL RAKET YAYO'S TACOS 050510


ROOFTOP RIDICULE YAYO'S TACOS 050710 delay guitar over a groove; experimental indie outfit (Recording quality C+ little  muddy and distorted)


the following track comes from someone else ripping a cassette tape... "SILVER BULLETS" is the name of the musical group. the tape was released in 2009 was limited to 100 but the rip of the whole album shouldn't be too hard to find. it's an enjoyable set of songs...all instrumentals that each manages to successfully cop a different sound from different tradition in global freakout...the track I'm posting here, Il Punto, is a simple guitar riff driven trancer in the vein of some of the more monolithic loop/spaceman 3 material - a formula which never gets dated and could use a lot more practitioners

ONE LESS ZERO DOUBLE DOWN 050710 psychobillyish rock with punk drums and woman vocal Recording quality C

HOSANNAHS BEAUTY BAR 060310 jeff tweedyish vocal, expansive guitar tones, driving tribal drum breakdowns Recording quality B

The brunette had a glass eye from which fortunes were read, but of course, never her own...She had a lisp and a ship leaving port and a dog made of stone. She had never for a single moment thought of happiness, even when it held her hand and spoke to her in words that she could understand.  As I decided to leave behind everything that you are able to hear, I wished that she was one of the ones who took pleasure in life.  Instead of acting it out because she recognized that she was supposed to.  All of those other women are dead...or in love with other planets.  Far more courageous and profound.




BRIGHTMILLION BEAUTY BAR 050710 upbeat indie guitar and drums duo with backing tracks Recording quality B


The redhead could only truly be seen from across the room- by affection I meant crime and by beauty I meant a single visit to a foreign land. She was a little bit of both, but in the end, neither. Like the endless line of sleepwalkers who had gone before, she tied a rope around the neck of imagination and kicked it from the balcony. Do you think that rings a little false? Once you identify with your own solitude, you can stop making excuses for others. In the end, I asked the redhead for her name and told her that friendship was the opposite of vanity, although neither of us believed it. Everytime another person reads this ridiculous page, I make another enemy.
