RIP Conrad Schnitzler

2011-08-06T23:33:00.000-07:00

"Conrad Schnitzler passed away from stomach cancer in the evening 4-Aug, 2011. Please visit the Global Living Project page as a memory to Con."

Conrad Schnitzler's work has been a huge inspiration to me over the years. He recorded his final piece four days before his passing at 74. Through all those years he maintained a unique and powerful vision that will continue to be felt for generations to come. Thank you.

Enjoy this live action from 1977

2010-12-24T19:12:00.000-08:00

here's two albums that make me feel a little better in the midst of all this epic consumerism going on right now.

16 Bitch Pile Up - Make Like An Abortion And Feed Us (Make Like A Fetus And Abort)
a classic cdr from ohios all female noise terror masters.

Suicidal Rap Orgy - Genital Warfare
a group of hard core rhyme slingin' aussie sickos obsessed with killing, fucking, shitting, and general fucking hate.

R.I.P. Peter Christopherson

2010-12-03T17:59:00.000-08:00

I know I'm about a week late in posting this but it's been busy around here:
Whether it be his visionary musical work with Throbbing Gristle, Coil, etc. His stunning design work as part of Hipgnosis, or his invocations in film and video, His creative works have been a major source of joy and inspiration for me through the years. He's seriously, one of my few artistic heroes. Hell, maybe even life hero. It seemed like he always had a deep appreciation for mortality, and the transient beauty of life and it's mysteries.

"What I'm living day-by-day, even at work, is my every whim, my deepest fantasy, my personal Yellow Brick Road -How few people can really say that, and believe it?
I am truly blessed!I will be delighted if even a little of my joy and intensity gets through to those who listen....I may not quite have reached the Emerald City just yet, but you know, it's just over the next hill..."

- Peter Christopherson - Feb 12 2009

Coil - Time Machines
("time machines" has a rather specific bio chemical concept that should be apparent from the song titles. if you are friendly with the compounds mentioned i believe you know what to do.)

Throbbing Gristle - Nothing Short of Total War
( you should know this by now.)

GAZE

2010-11-04T21:11:00.000-07:00

Speaking of Soundcloud, Oakland's killer triptronic trio, Gaze, has a few jams up over there.
Gaze - Commercial Muzak

The "Pops" Science Story

2010-11-04T21:03:00.001-07:00

The "Pops" Science Story is available for free on Soundcloud. If you're not familiar with T"P"SS, then you're in for a treat. It's a sort of absurdist new wave radio show realized on magnetic tape. Just listen.

Arboga Teenage Riot

Martin Denny - Throbbing Gristle - High School - Etc...

2010-10-27T17:54:00.000-07:00

1959. The same year that the U.S. took Alaska as the 49th state and Fidel Castro took Cuba, Martin Denny took America's imaginations on a cruise to far off lands of exotic romance with Afrodesia. Seriously, look at these dudes. So smooth, so fun, even the birds and frogs wanted to jam with them. No wonder middle america was so eager to embrace this strange, lush, (dare I say it?) exotic music.I, like many teenagers with combat boots and eyeliner in the 90's discovered Martin Denny through Throbbing Gristle. Heathen Earth was my jam. Dig it with some headphones and a dream machine.

eternal young soul, taste the balls!

2010-07-14T14:04:00.000-07:00

Speaking of rhythm and noise, here's a short mix for you guys. Are you ready for some musical multitasking?
Sympathy Nervous - ? / Thames - ?
16BPU - something poked up
Scientist - creatiton mix / Emeralds - overboard (off the deep end)
Skaters - ? / Martin Denny - temptation
Hapiness Boys - blonde with mouth open / The Haters - an interview (over the phone)
german TMNT theme

international friendship

2010-07-14T10:08:00.000-07:00

Here's another classic german album that some how snuck past me, until now. This first album from Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft is fuckin' killer, full on dance noise. German electro grooves with american style art noise. After this album they stripped down to a duo and started working with Conny Plank. That shit's pretty killer too, but right now, this is my jam.
D.A.F. - Die Kleinen und Die Bösen

liliental

2010-07-11T18:36:00.001-07:00

I'm not sure how it took me so long to discover this little gem. It's exactly the kind of awesomeness you'd expected from a Moebius / Plank / Tietchens joint, all glorious ambiance and playful melodicism with a smooth teutonic groove. Dig It

AYAT

2010-04-24T18:29:00.000-07:00

The bros over at Illogical Contraption recently upped this massive wad of blackened anti religious nihilism from Lebanese warlords AYAT. Blasting, galloping, godless awesomeness with really great samples (none of your usual preacher/politico/manson shit). Plus, i fucking love that logo.
get "Six Years Of Dormant Hatred" HERE.

and seriously. dig the Ill Con.

2010-04-01T19:07:00.000-07:00

Occasional Detroit, fuck.These cat's are in a class of their own, no bullshit. Have you ever tried to imagine what it would've sounded like if Smegma and The Furious Five hung out? Then you might be prepared for O.D., but probably not. As requested.

You wanna rock?

2010-03-12T17:43:00.000-08:00

So, alot of people (mostly co-workers) say I don't like rock n' roll. That's not totally true. I'm just picky. I'm not into generic boring whiney poser bullshit. So here's a couple of totally kick ass, straight up rock 'n fuckin' roll joints that I love. You can't go wrong with the classics. Enjoy...
REDD KROSS - BORN INNOCENT
ROKY ERICKSON & THE ALIENS - THE EVIL ONE
THE ELECTRIC EELS - EYEBALL OF HELL
TURBO NEGRO - ASS COBRA
PUSSY GALORE - GROOVY HATE FUCK

Narwhalz is a true renaissance man!

2010-02-27T16:51:00.000-08:00

Ain't no party like a Teeth Mountain party 'cause a Teeth Mountain party kills cats.
Plus, this pretty much sums up why Narwhalz rules. Right mama?

gerritt and p. knowles

2010-02-27T15:28:00.000-08:00

this is just a sample of a gerritt and p. knowles performance from a few months back. it sort of gives an idea of some of the aesthetic principles being explored in gerritt's current touring pieces. intense and awesome as always. go see it live.

make yr own lightning

2010-02-13T12:47:00.000-08:00

As requested here's a sample of Seven Lies About Girls's massive psychomorphic mind bomb "Make Yr Own Lightning". This is one massive three and a half hour long free jam spread across 4 cdrs, intended to be played from any starting point. Personnel for this recording were: J. Eisold- guitar, effects, A. Hibbs (Sword Heaven) - drums, J. Hanniver - sampling, digital manipulation.

There's still 3 or 4 copies available from Teen Action Records so I won't post the whole thing. But, for your listening pleasure, here's the first 20 minutes from the third disc.

Here's something special to welcome the new year. Awkward misogynistic sex rhymes from the 5th dimension? Possibly,I could find nothing about this album on line. Apparently the only way to grip a copy was to be at one of the Seattle area Starbucks where OMP would pass these out... to the ladies.

R.I.P Rowland S. Howard

2009-12-30T18:24:00.000-08:00

His guitar playing has been a huge inspiration to me since I was a teenager. (and still is.) The Birthday Party seriously changed my world. I still get pumped when I here those records.

thank you all and more...

2009-11-27T12:43:00.000-08:00

to all of the creative, positive, inquisitive people that live their dreams, thank you all...

I Love African Ladies!

2009-11-23T00:18:00.000-08:00

i fucking HATE the beatles!

2009-09-21T19:47:00.000-07:00

seriously, i fucking hate the beatles. at their best they were a cheap donovan rip off (at least donovan hung out and autographed a photo of his uncut baby cock.) hidden behind a fleet of corporate marketers. (does every lyric really have to include "positive identifiers", really? EVERY lyric?) at their worst they were a mediocre cover band. not to deny that some of them (not paul) had some sort of creative / inquisitive streak, but they never really explored it, only mocked and strangled it like a cheap whore that "speaka no englese". (plastic ono band's "approximately infinite universe" is one of the best pop/rock albums ever.) (harrison and starr made some good use of their free time and money as well.)
they made a hand full of mediocre pop records, and trillions of dollars. good for them. can't we all move on? i went through a phase as a youngster where i played the shit out of "abbey road". not 'cause i liked it that much, but because i was so intrigued by the way it laid out a pattern for commercial rock/pop that wouldn't falter for almost 20 years. the only track i really liked was "her majesty". it closes the whole satirical experience with a stark admittance of conceit. brief, sparse arrangement. the lyric makes a cozy metaphore for the industry in which they work/live. it's kinda charming. still haven't heard it in years. don't need/want to. i know it all too well.
just had to get that out there. thanks.
p.s.
fuck you all. john, paul, george, ringo, brian, and everyone else involved. you're the reason kids listen to shit like N'SYNC,GBV, POBPAH, at all that generic, condescending, sheltered crap. even after death you deep throat ronald mcdonald. i could be wrong (easily) but, i think you knew better. you ass fucked the corporate whore and shoved your shttty cock down everyones throat for generations. at least the germs told us that they were shitting in our mouths. you never really had that level of dignity. fuck you.

lambsbread

2009-05-10T15:16:00.000-07:00

here's a treat for you lambsbread fans. i had totally forgotten about this shit. back in '07 shane and i had been talking about doing a lambsbread / twink bully split on teen action records. lambsbread are one of those bands that tries to record every jam, and releases almost every recording. at the time they were taking a bit of a break. zac living in detroit and travelling with james from skaters, while shane and kathy stayed on the farm. i had been trying to document most of the shows at skylab at the time so shane recommended i pull something together from my archives since there was no way to tell how long it might be until they had some new jams. i did, but it never got released for a number of reasons. but anyway, here it is. enjoy

Family Band or Pancakes?

2009-05-07T18:22:00.000-07:00

although it's pitch black and you really can't see shit, here's emeralds and lambsbread jamming together at skylab in cloumbus ohio. good times. i miss those folks.

2009-04-28T18:29:00.000-07:00

still on a soulful psychedelic kinda trip, i just scored this LP today, and damn! smooth, spacey, soulful, funky, freaky, furious, well you get the point, it's a fuckin' killer. it's already downloadable all over and i like mediafire myself so here you go.

Old School Double Shot

2009-04-19T14:56:00.000-07:00

Since I haven't been posting much I'll try to make up for it with these two amazing compilations of old school awesomeness. About 4-5 years ago both of these jams were getting some major play in my daily life, and you know, they're both still incredible. Miami Sound is a collection of raw, sweaty soul and funk grooves from the tip of America's wang. Kraut! Demons! Kraut! is actually pretty soulful too, showcasing German psychedelic rock of the hippy era, as opposed to the wilder explorations of "Krautrock". It also includes the incredible "I'm hiding my nightingale" by Inner Space (aka Can). All around heavy shit. Enjoy!

Miami Sound HERE.

Kraut! Demons! Kraut! HERE.

WE WANT BLACK DEATH!

2009-02-04T17:39:00.000-08:00

According to this post at WFMU's Beware of the Blog Lux Interior from The Cramps passed away today. Damn. That man drank rock and pissed roll for over 30 years, changing the land scape of popular music and culture along the way. Pour some for Lux!

In his honor I give you Forbidden City Dog Food. A compilation of freaked out rock n' roll classics that the Cramps used to play at shows.

R.I.P. Ron Asheton

2009-01-06T17:34:00.000-08:00

Apparently Ron Asheton (60) was found dead in his home this morning. I've been hearing the Stooges all day. At work, on the radio, at home. So, I wanted to mix it up a little and give you "Bored", the only album he recorded with Destroy All Monsters. His playing is so immediately recognizable and rocking that it of course sounds a bit like The Stooges, but Niagra's apathetic recitations add a charming limp to this 70s rock beast. Dig.

Destroy All Monsters - Bored

Bumese, brutality, and STD

2009-01-04T12:34:00.000-08:00

Aesop over at the amazing Cosmic Hearse blog has upped the first 2 Burmese albums. Monkeys Tear Man to Shreds Man Never Forgives Ape Man Destroys Environment and A mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity. Here's the Burmese tracks from their 2004 split with Fistula on Crucial Blast. I only included the Burmese tracks so you'll have to buy the album to hear the rest.
Burmese has changed alot over the years but they are always completely fucking brutal. The first time i saw them was at Kimo's in SF, around 02. John Dwyer had just been replaced on drums by Mark Schaffer (The Darklord!), and decided to heckle them by throwing empty beer bottles. The whole place pretty much just errupted into a melee of flying glass and limbs with searing, pounding noise, until Mikey's girlfriend grabbed him and dragged him downstairs by his feet. He kept growling into the mic clenched in his teeth and abusing the bass until the cables gave. I've been to very few shows that have errupted into that sort of vortex of violence, and surprisingly nobody really got hurt. Pure catharsis. All their shows back then were pretty physical. Since then they've dropped the electronic noises and blatant Whitehouse worship, and switched to a two bassplayer, two drummer lineup. These days they tend to let the shear awesomeness of the synchronised drumming do the pummeling. They've even added a female vocalist. Still completely brutal.

Speaking of brutal, the aformentioned Darklord:

a happy neu year full of magical snacks (p.s. xo baltimore!)

2008-12-31T20:11:00.000-08:00

Welcome to 2009.I'm having a great year so far, hope all of you are too. The friendly fellows of Leprechaun Catering are feeding my ears a delicious rotary platter of auditory pupu snacks with natural happy butt shake flavor. They describe it as "Techno you can't dance to, or free improvisation you can dance to."

...and speaking of awesome music from baltimore:

go Rye Rye!

Teeth Mountain bring the super trance pulsations with the fruity loops and four way skins.

and of course Nautical Almanac, much love! happy new year!

ub radio

My good friend Univac recently reminded me that Ub radio is available at archive.org. Ub radio is a regular live broadcast from the Big City Orchestra crew and friends. There's hours and hours of brilliant auditory insanity courtesy of the collaborations of BCO, bLevin bLectum, j Lesser, univac, Fausto, wobbly, and many others. Enjoy.

plus the soundtrack to an awesome film about brotherhood and beer.
The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie in. Strange Brew (soundtrack)

y'all really wanna know 'bout some gangsta shit?

2008-12-16T20:14:00.000-08:00

The totally awesome blog Nothin' Sez Somethin' recently uploaded John Cale's "Guts" HERE.
This album is a compilation of tracks from Mr. Cales era of ultimate rock n' roll psycho bad ass shit. He actually came on stage with a hockey mask (pre jason) and a loaded gun that he waved at his backup band (including Brian Eno on synth, Phil Manzanera and Chris Spedding on guitar, and PHIL COLLINS! on drums!)! I guess he needed to remind Lou Reed what a pathetic little bitch he is.Anyway, "guts" compiles tracks from "slow dazzle" and "helen of troy" with some unreleased jams from that era. This shit changed my life as a teenager. I scored both of these albums at a church yardsale with my best friend. I still remember hanging out in shitty DC apartments with teenage junkies that thought Lou Reed was profound, putting on "slow dazzle" and realizeing how fucking stupid they were. Thank you John.
