myth: dreams of the world (or when bill laswell met ira cohen met viggo mortensen)

Leave a Comment Posted by on 30/08/2011

picked up this bonkers (superficially at least) disc at the weekend. one of wild bill laswell’s spoken word records, based around biographies from greek and roman myths. with some text lifted from frances sabin’s classical myths that live today. words and notes by laswell + his swollen band of collaborators (and their many pseudonyms). among [...]

dead elephant: thanatology (riot season)

Leave a Comment Posted by on 29/08/2011

ooft. short of coming in a misfits-style coffin box, this record couldn’t be any more death obsessed. thanatology being a kind of psychological / sociological study of death. references to funerary texts (the tibetan book of the dead), freudian / jungian theory on death instinct and the underworld in mayan mythology. riffing on italian funeral [...]

mountainhood – america 2 or nahuel huapa, a saga: the intense vibes of the rainbow, a tale of transformation of my brother (dead pilot)

Leave a Comment Posted by on 25/08/2011

been working my way through this sprawling messy bugger of an album, fighting off infection and mild meds hallucinations; trudging weary through a swamp of sweats and mucous and deafness; bone and membrane spilling grumbling aches and grouchy pains. feeling brittle as fuck. now bashing out words between states, neither of which feel quite real… [...]

nick gentry paints on floppy’s and cassettes of various sorts. obsoletism. i’m thinking omni magazine covers, zombies and philip k. dick’s rachael. it’s the eyes. dunno there’s something sad and empty about all this. lost souls. identikit portraits. dead. perfect.

suicidal 10cc

Leave a Comment Posted by on 15/08/2011

some pounding shrieking ungrooves from jim o’rourke & masaya nakahara as the titularly lolsome suicidal 10cc. never understood how o’rourke came to be involved in sonic youth’s snoozey beige period…

ema, gowns, robert johnson, past life martyred saints and nirvana (or some hastily scribbled words…)

Leave a Comment Posted by on 10/08/2011

goddamn procrastination… been a fan of gowns fr ages and i meant to batter out some words when erika m. anderson brought out the grey ship seven incher with this monstrous 16 minute b-side of robert johnson’s kind-hearted woman… blooze, creaking and groaning and y’know elongated  (with midsection existential howl)  into forevereverandever. and then the [...]

bobb trimble: the crippled dog band (yoga)

Leave a Comment Posted by on 03/08/2011

god save us dreamers, yr all that’s left sometimes / god save you dreamers, yr all that’s left in life for anyone interested in underground / outsider music bobb trimble’s first two records are one of thee touchstones. a singular vision. song as solipsism. both merged into one. forget walking in his shooze, this’s like [...]

ancient ocean: green rituals (fire talk)

Leave a Comment Posted by on 01/08/2011

nice cassette of zonked droneisms here. kinda newage. kinda narcotic. kinda earth-ish dustbowl twang. kinda kosmische. while my need to listen to ambient music (and all it’s fuzzy/muzzy cousins) at frightening volumes sometimes negates the musique d’ameublement essence of it all, this contrariness does occasionally yield some gorgeous and unexpected timbres and textures. and while [...]
