Our Sunday Affairs - Smiles From Next Year

Young dudes playing twinkly lil emo ditties like a bau5

really pretty especially the song that is about Alyssa but isn't but so is.

Benga - Diary of an Afro Warrior

Fairly minimal dubsteppy goodness, kind of a mid-point between atmospheric stuff and bass overload 'womp'. That's why it's good. Won't blow your socks off, but should appeal to anybody with an interest in the genre.

Electric Masada - At the Mountains of Madness

Seeing as Qwe posted some Zorn, I figured I would post this.

One of Zorn's groups, Electric Masada is an outlet for the klezmer music he has also been doing in Masada, but, as you may have guessed, with an electronic spin. Along with the usual frenetic sax and percussion of most of Zorn's work, we find laptop electronics, keyboards and electric guitar adding to the insanity. This isn't as bat shit insane as Naked City, however noisy avant-garde jazz with middle eastern influence doesn't fully reside in the sane camp either.

This is a double live album of monumental quality.


Disc 1
Disc 2

John Zorn - Naked City

the most insane album you will ever listen to. sometimes groovy, sometimes beautiful, sometimes a whirring grind assault.

get the fuck on it. absolutely brilliant

Otis Redding - Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul

Some essential shit, you should recognise at least a few tracks. Get on it.


Otis Blue

UNKLE - Psyence Fiction

James Lavelle has worked with various partners throughout UNKLE's lifetime, which probably explains the gradual change in style through the years. In the beginning, UNKLE was much more of a straight-ahead trip hop project, and for the debut, Psyence Fiction, Lavelle was teamed up with arguably the best in the business; Josh Davis, aka DJ Shadow.

If you dig any of the 90's trip hop, it's safe to say you will enjoy this. Both men obviously know what they are doing, and the large amount of guest vocalists/MCs actually work particularly well.


Psyence Fiction

Thou - The Archer & The Owle

An EP or something from my favouritest sludge band in the whole wide world (probably). The last Pygmy Lush cover is absolutely brilliant and the Nirvana cover is cool too. I have nothing more to say.

The Archer & The Owle

Plaid - Double Figure

Some tasty IDM, drawing influence most notably from Warp label-mates Aphex Twin, and to a lesser extent Autechre. If mentioning Warp, Aphex Twin and Autechre together doesn't encourage you then I don't even know man. It's good alright.


Double Figure

Thou - Tyrant

This is one evil, crushing, unrelenting punch in the dick.

Tyrant

Shipwreck A.D. - Abyss

I do think it's been awhile since I've heard some catchy as fuck hardcore that doesn't also annoy the shit out of me.

The riffs are restrained in a good way, conservative. It's good because it works with their style, which I want to call metallic hardcore but don't because i really really hate that term so what metalcore isnt good enough for you pedantic shits

oh dude you got it all wrong metalcore and metallic hardcore are completely different. i mean have you compared judge with botch

idk man fuck it's just a great hardore album listen to "squall" if you dont believe me.

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Mecca and the Soul Brother

You know what? It doesn't even matter if the beats outshine the MC because when you're Pete Rock your name comes first bitch.

I Have Dreams - Three Days 'Til Christmas

This would've been totally hilarious if I posted this three days before Christmas but I'm not, it's nowhere near Christmas. In fact, it's probably as far from Christmas as you can get and I don't give a shit because this album has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas. Fuck Christmas, I don't care for it. Hell, it's not even an album, it's an EP. Extended play. As opposed to a long play? Extended sounds like it ought to be longer than long. Shit, I don't care. This is the soundtrack to your girlfriend breaking up with you and getting together with some piece of shit junkie trash and making dumb twitter statuses about how she loves her boy dumb amounts and couldn't be happier while you continue to be a worthless loser going nowhere in life fast, but fuck it you get to play Oblivion all day and Skyrim's coming out in November and you don't need a girlfriend because video games are way better anyway and they won't break your fragile little emo heart.

Three Days 'Til Christmas

T.S.O.L. - Dance With Me

Punk rock classic, get this if you're not afraid to embrace your inner necrophiliac and chant along to I wanna fuck, I wanna fuck the dead! Because, you know, that would totally give you limitless amounts of punx cred. Don't be afraid this'll be like any other punk record you've heard because there's something different about this I can't quite label. It's got quite a deathrock-esque sound to it. Worth your time.

Dance With Me

Penfold - Amateurs & Professionals

Whiny emo songs for whiny emo kids. More than just 'songs about girls and being sad and stuff'. Get this if you're a fan of Mineral and the ilk because it sounds like them but arguably better. Arguably. You're welcome to argue that. I'm just here to hyperbole after all. If you were here then I would take you eeeveryyywheeere. Listen to that song if you only listen to one (why the fuck would you ever do that?) because it's certainly among the better emo songs in the history of emo songs. Emo is a really dumb word.

Amateurs & Professionals

Balam Acab - 4 Songs

This is a titchy compilation of two Balam Acab releases, a self-titled one and Conscious

chill downtempo dubsteppy goodness

Where the fuck is everyone?

Pictured above: me, looking for everyone.

The Men - Leave Home

Holy shoegazing punx hardcore just got interesting. I really hope more hardcore bands take a leaf out of The Men's book in the future because it really is a breath of fresh air to see them try something a little different. This is rad. That's the word that comes to mind. Rad. People should use that word more often without trying to be ironic. Leave Home seems like a logical progression from their noisier previous release Immaculada, seeing the band focusing more on the less conventional parts of their sound and with great success. I think it's way more punx to play whatever the fuck you want as opposed to the same rehashed hardcore everybody else has been playing for years. The Men are more punx than you. All of you. Deal with it.

Leave Home
