Record acquisitions of the weekend:

[xfer]

Dysrhythmia's "Pretest"

Black Eyes' "Cough"

Pretest rules so far; I'm not sure about Cough yet (only listened to it once, and it's not an immediate grabber).

 

[goatschool]

the only records i'll buy this summer are cattle decapitation 'humanure' and the new kayo dot EP.

 

[xfer]

i heard the new kayo dot EP was only going to be printed on cardboard on the inside of boxes of WEETABIX cereal!

 

[Helm]

I liked the no interference record more. (Body Destroyed, Brain Intact!) Pretest's good too, I guess. Great production. Sounds like Shellac. The song with the intentional note clashing - Touch Benediction? haven't listened in a while - anyway it was something like tonic and supertonic on bass/guitar interplay and my brain kept firing the same green note neuron every time they played it. Dysrhythmia would tell me that that was the point but what the hell sometimes music can be interesting and not make me want to break my cd player at the same time.

On the same vein I recently bought the Ron Jarzombek solo cd Solitarily Speaking of Theoretical Confinement. It was good.

 

[avi]

I got sent a bunch of records I don't really like and I downloaded some Sahara Hotnights, Tomas Anderson Wij, Single Unit and Scratch Acid. Because I'm a jerk.

 

[lizard]

I got particularly adventurous and went for

Godspeed You Black Emperor - Yanqui UXO
Therion - Live from Midgard

I agree with you about No Interfernece being better, and that Jarzombek album is insane...speaking of, their drummer appears on one track on the new Spastic Ink CD...

 

[Helm]

Their drummer is Bobby Jarzombek, brother of Ron, I think. And the song I was talking about is not that which I mentioned, but Annihilation II. Listen to the clashing notes in fury!

 

[xfer]

hah, i was actually listening to Annihilation II as i read your post and thought, "oh, can't wait til i get to Touch Benediction!"

 

[Greg B.]

I'm listening to the Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon soundtrack

 

[deadair]

i got bags of stuff today.

most of it is a let down.

i'm not totally into the new polyphonic (sp?) spree, so yea. and some of the other big names that i got just were blah to me (icarus line, buring brides... some other crap).

 

[Autumn Falls]

Weetabix... oh weetabix.

Brandon

 

[Helm]

Correction: the drummer on Solitarily Speaking... is a drum machine. Cleverly named Mac Hine. Wee. "Dee Fore" plays the keyboard strings, heh. Reminds me of a Holdsworth solo album.

 

[Nut Butter]

A buncha stuff! The two most recent Estradasphere releases, Secret Chiefs 3's "Book of Horizons" (pleased yet slightly let down), a few Edge of Sanity records (bought CHEAP from some guy in Belarus), some Poison Idea 7"s (I'm a PI completist just because of their "Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes" EP).... and a coupla new blades!
