TERRORS

Nice little dream piece from Terrors up over at the Bathetic blog. Stuff up at Myspace varies a bit, but I suggest grabbin the tape. Sounds promising.





Terrors - Soft Proliferating Light



Bathetic has a few more rad releases coming up including another Pink Priest tape, a split between Dead Luke and Stacian and a Heavy Hawaii/Wild Safari split.

ICE CREAM PAINT JOB

This evening marks the first in a series of Monday night time slots for me on the radio. I'll be airing every Monday from 6:30-8PM EST on WMUA all by my lonesome hosting ICE CREAM PAINT JOB as DJ BEER WITH DINNER. If you're around the Pioneer Valley you can tune in on 91.1FM. If you have a computer you can stream from wmua.org.

Since I've been away from radio for a couple weeks I have a bunch of new music piled up, but instead of trying to tackle that I'm going to make tonite's set more of a droner for all yall with heads packed fulla cotton and throats crammed with Sudafed. Journey to another dimension where cough syrup streams ooze over Benadryl pebble riverbeds and songbirds chirp auto-tuned bangers when dawn breaks.

P.S. This means ya can be treated to some quality radio alllll Monday long by tuning in to Weekly Tape Deck's show on Indie-Verse at 2PM EST then a few hours later you can catch me. Damn, babies - if you have a nice lil radio-charm on Mondays lemme know so I can add it to the radio-bracelet-chain.

SLUMTOWN SYMFUNNY

Turquoise Cats sent over this 20+ minute piece of mix yesterday. Turquoise Cats is from Baltimore and is buds with Run DMT and LEXX and is down with Dem Hunger (and the Dem Hunger Remix of that Run DMT track).

The 'release' is out now on New Baltimore Records. By 'release' I mean it's all available as Mediafire download in addition to a physical copy which is composed of "a broken jewel case with shit from off of my floor as the back cover, a cd-r with nothing written on it, a single match in a matchbook, and one newport." Get at the Cats for your copy.

The mix comes on all dusty and dope, some real fur coat African cinema shit, all big jewel necklaces and twelve-inch cigarette holders - and the bellhop strikes yer match for you. First Maghrebi space program shit. The cuts used are "all vinyl except one african highllife song." Process-wise, shit was "all done live on one take. no ovadubs. no stems. no seeds. no sticks. only dust." Don't ask what went into the mix however, since

"me tracklist be hiddn up in ma fortress on some swiss family
robinson held captive by pirates shit."

Sometimes it's better to know not where you are, to know not what ingredients make up the secret spice blend.

FIELDED

Chicago's Lindsay Anne Powell, a.k.a. Fielded, played at the Media Mansion/George's house last week and was mighty breathtaking, even after the complete and utter skull-crunch (in a good way) that was Noise Nomads. The recordings on her CDR/tape EP The Lord Reigns, Let the People Tremble (Catholic Tapes) are slightly less bludgeoning than her live performance, but just as beautiful.

Church drones, beat shards, ghost town tumbleweed specters. Woulda been great for creepo-dungeon Halloween mix, could probably be used in place of "Silent Night" shit on yer Christmastime mix, assuming your Christmas party been thrown in the graveyard. I'm talkin ghost of Christmas future shit, clinkin down in a freshly dug grave, huge blue moon overhead, huge pack of coyotes howlin overhead. Long bouts of shivers.






Fielded - All the Best



Fielded - The Watcher



Fielded - You Got the World, You Got the Century



Lindsay also plays in Ga'an.

Also checked out Big Troubles play last week in Worcester at a house called Distant Castle. They played as a duo with a drum machine to good effect. "Freudian Slips," "Drastic and Difficult" and a newer song they played last all sounded great. Check them out Thursday night with full band at Cake Shop with Byrds of Paradise, Cool World and More Bikini Babes. INAUGURAL FRIENDSHIP BRACELET PRESENTS SHOW. BE THERE.

ATLANTICS

Boys over at Astro Nautico dropped a dope lil EP of sorts, couple tracks each from Kuhn, Obey City and +++WEED (might know him better as Al Gates). Generally zonked and damn thick, these beats should probably get you stoned just bumpin em out yer ear buds or lil laptop speakers or whatever, but seriously. SERIOUSLY - I wana cruise around blastin these joints.

Take this sample, like it and love it, then head over and grab the whole thing cos 1) it's free and 2) it's dope.





Obey City - Celestial Steam





Astro Nautico - Atlantics

BRUNO B. DICOLLA

MANE MANE

Mane Mane gets down with the Peace Age crew (or at least is somewhat associated with em) and it makes sense. Mane Mane is the combo of C Powers and Fuzzy Foe.

Drop the Cadillac top, turn it up and drive slow. I know it's pretty much winter and all, but the late afternoon light reminds me of summer and makes me want it back. I'll be waiting at least five or six months. Hopefully you're pampered in perpetual sunlight and can get a head start.

If this whets the whistle, backtrack a bit and peep some C Powers and Termeric HERE.
