lambsbread

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?

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.

RACOO-OO-OON!!!!

A live set from Racoo-oo-oon, a great but short lived psyche noise collective from Iowa City. This set was recorded at Skylab in Columbus, Ohio, 05/09/07. get it HERE

visit Night People for current goodness from these wandering shamen.

African Scream Contest

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

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!

WE WANT BLACK DEATH!

Phuqen ay! I dare you to name one thing about this that is not sculpted from raw awesome by the had of Radicles himself. Dare you.
