1. MEDIEVAL WEAPONRY by Always

Always aka Alex Vivian posted a new music video. Alex is amazing! I think this is his first music video to date:

3. A Million Keys Muxtape


Now that Spring is here, I decided to make a muxtape documenting my favorite slow and sad songs from this past winter.

4. S-S-S-Spectres at SXSW


I’m going down to Austin tomorrow with S-S-S-Spectres, and hopefully I will have time to cover some of the events in the blog. We’ve been recording for the past few months, and will have a limited run CD-R available. Contact me for availability. We also put up a new song from our CD on the myspace page, “Black Malm.”

5. Fast Blue Air nr 1

I came across this video today via Loreto Martin’s blog.

6. Official Tourist

My friend Jon sent these videos over yesterday. Official Tourist is a side project of artist Kamau Amu Patton, whose work I’ve been hunting for online ever since I read about his show at Machine Project last year. (They’re actually still hosting one of his videos, which you can view here. ) Patton does the video work and designs the costumes for Official Tourist. I’m amped to see his creations, but I’m still waiting for the day when more of his cult-inspired low budget infomercials go online. Official Tourist also produce a line of hoodies.

19. T.I.T.S. Tour (pt. 2)

T.I.T.S drew unibrows for the Seattle show (evidence below). The vibe was pretty weird- there was a cheesy club next door and a fight broke outside. Ick.

20. T.I.T.S. Tour (pt. 1)

We just got to Seattle. Kind of tired, but we’re having so much fun. I stayed with Gabe Mindel (of Yellow Swans) last night and caught up. Went thrifting this afternoon with Mara. We listened to a lot of Black Sabbath and Welsh Rare Beat on the way up.

21. T.I.T.S. OR BUST!!

This week I am going up to Portland, Seattle and Vancouver with T.I.T.S. . BFF Mara Scotia will be up with us too. I am going to document the tour for A Million Keys- be prepared!

22. My first 24 hrs in California

I am back in the Bay Area for the next week and a half. Expect reports of burritos, thrifting, and redwoods.

23. Dead Reptile Shrine- A Journey Through the Darkest of Forests/Isth Narai Ja


24. AAB (Ancient Art of Boar)- Bright Dole

I’ve been raving about this cassette for almost a decade now. It’s Andrew WK’s solo project from high school. To me it sounds like Prince on downers with a good dose of harsh noise. Pretty much incredible. I heard he released one or two other cassettes as AAB- and I haven’t heard them yet. I promise to bake a cake for anyone who shares them with me.

30. TAPES 'N TAPES 'N TAPES

31. Periodikmindtrouble

I am a bit surprised that I only recently discovered Thierry Muller from Ruth’s project Ilitch. Dan Selzer played it a few weeks ago at a French New Wave night we did at Monkeytown, and I immediately decided to hunt it down. I picked up the Ruth reissue Polaroid/Roman/Photo on Fractal a few years ago, its title track also appeared on the So Young So Cold compilation, which came out around the same time:

32. Rub-A-Dub

With the overabundance of Wolf bands out there, few seem to lead the pack. San Francisco’s Fuckwolf are indeed an exception. Their gritty, spaced-out reverb-laden dub interprets King Tubby’s legacy with a healthy dose of dirge-deranged noise. Weasel Walter, of Flying Luttenbachers and Lake of Dracula, produced their new self titled album on Kimosciotic Records.
