A Live Set by Downstate

I just came across this through someone's signature on the 8bit Collective forums that said "New album of dusty lo-fi songs out now," and of course if something is "dusty lo-fi" I'm probably going to want to check it out(mostly for the ironic value, but oftentimes I do run into some good self-proclaimed "lo-fi" albums). I'm always into live electronics so when I saw the live set album, it was a match made in heaven. This is really well done, I would have killed to have been at this show.

Best explained by the artist himself on the bandcamp page:

A forty minute live set, recorded digitally from mixer to computer on the 18th of september 2010, Shanghai.

Running Reaktor 5, Ableton, Controlled via midi.

All the beat mashing, mixing of the tracks,sample triggering was done live. Most of the synths were also played live, any pulse wave, sine, piano, you hear is probably being played live (slightly messily i'll admit in places).

The set is almost entirely one hundred bpm head nod speed.

This was during a night of live electronics from many other great artists. A wicked crowd, heavy on music nerds made it a really nice one.

We had the artists performing on glitchy tv's and a VJ doing some head-phucking live visuals and databending.

I hope you enjoy this live set, please feel free to spread the word like a nasty little STD.

Good things to you all.

Capgun Coup - Brought To You By Nebraskafish

I apologize for kind of giving up on reviews for a while, come December I'll probably have a bunch more up. BUT in the nature of uploading albums I love, here's one of my favorites from the band that turned me on to the world of Team Love and the newer Omaha-New York sister scene that is oh so wonderful. It also houses the song I stole the title for this blog from. Be sure to check this album out if you're into alternative yelling schizophrenic genre-shifting noise jam surf bands.

Counter-Protest Counter-Playlist

(Do I win an award for lamest playlist title ever?)

Today, in Spokane, the infamous Westboro Baptist Church paid us a visit; queers and fans of queers alike, in the name of tolerance, are putting on quite the counter-protest. In that vain, I made this playlist full of songs I've been listening to all day to "set the mood." So, without further adieu...

Hunting Hat - Vampire Xmas

I apologize for the lack of updates(and the lack of Tim Kasher reviews, I promise I'll finish writing it some time soon), community college IS SO DIFFICULT OH MY GOD I'M DYIN'. not really. I've just been busy with schoolwork and trying to catch up with Jadusable which has resulted in me not paying much attention to the blogosphere. So sorry.

Here's a free download of Hunting Hat's new EP "Vampire Xmas" - the best mellodramatic basement noisepop around, straight from Bellingham, WA.

Cursive - What Have I Done?

I've got an advance copy of Tim Kasher's new album "The Game Of Monogamy," but unfortunately I'm running a little behind with school so I'll put the review up tomorrow afternoon. To hold you until then, watch this video of the greatest Cursive song ever written...

Here's to hoping The Game of Monogamy is just as wonderful!
