RIP Conrad Schnitzler

"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

..and, as a founding member of Kluster he created some of my favorite music ever. Check out the Kluster and Friends - 1969-1973 6xLP Boxset courtesy of FM Shades

red x-mass

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

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

Speaking of Soundcloud, Oakland's killer triptronic trio, Gaze, has a few jams up over there.
Gaze - Commercial Muzak
Gaze - 4excerpt

The "Pops" Science Story

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.

Hard bangin' no-fi bedroom rave grind destruction.

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

O - D

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.
Check out this live shit from the End Times Festival
and
The Occasional Bomb 7"
(I think Gay Bomb is jamming on this, too.)

You wanna rock?

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!

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

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

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.

Seven Lies About Girls - "Make Yr Own Lightning" disc 3, excerpt

Static Lasses

The wonderful Static Fanatic blog just posted the amazing Ladyz In Noyz 3cd box on Spleencoffin. 3discs full of awesome ladies cranking out harsh noise, dream bliss, mutant pop, DIY, straight up no holds barred don't give a fucks. Seriously recommended
Go Here Now!

Sticky Cherry, Blue Cum

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.
