PJ Harvey



So I'm in a bad mood today, so I decided to further torture myself by listening to the queen of angst; PJ Harvey.
The album in question is the woman's absolutely perfect debut-album "Dry".

Dry - 1992

Neil Young


Yesterday, I asked my dad what he thought of Bob Dylan. He quickly replied that the guy's very overrated, stuck in the same loop, awful live and that he's a lot like Neil Young. I quickly realised that I'd forgotten about that old piece of moss, that whiny old redneck, that absolutely eternal and immortal rocker.
I immediatley sat down with his greatest hits record and got lost, this man is beyond pretty much all the country music and 60's rock that's ever been released.
Even the material he wrote in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is briliant, the solos, the beautiful vocals and the man's great songwriting has truly delivered him to the place he deserves to be; the top.

I'm only going to post his 60's and 70's albums, since I think this is the best place to start off. I'll have to upload some of my own Young albums since I coudn't find some stuff on the web.
I also didn't include any stuff featuring Crazy Horse.

s/t - 1968
Everybode Knows That This is Nowhere - 1969
After the Gold Rush - 1970
Harvest - 1972
Time Fades Away - 1973
On the Beach - 1974
Tonight's the Night
American Stars 'N Bars - 1977
Comes a Time - 1978

Black Bloc


In the vein of my latest post, I'll post some more sweet noise.
The group being advertised today is called Black Bloc, and it's a pretty hateful group, even for noise standards.

Tortured screams and ear-piercing feedback makes this a challenging, but definitely satisfying listen if you manage to get through it.
The guys in the group are also kind enough to give away their entire dischography for free, so there's no reason to not download all of their stuff.

Devin Townsend



Yeah, both myself and my pal thought we needed some of this guy's amazing catalogue on our blog. I can't speak for my friend, but to me this guy is a huge source of inspiration both in music and in life. He is, no doubt, one of the most insane/sane persons I've ever listened to and I love everything he has ever done equally. I encourage you to check out some of the interviews he's done, because he seriously does pack huge amounts of wisdom. This post won't contain Strapping Young Lad though, maybe I'll post that some other day.

Lietterschpich - I Cum Blood in the Think Tank




I managed to blow around ten dollars on complete bullshit I could've gotten for free, no it's not a CD, it was a god damn file-converter disguised as freeware.
So the moral of the story is: Don't download this piece of fuck.

Download this piece of fucking shit instead:

So here's some angy electronics because I'm angry!


Lietterschpich - I Cum Blood in the Think Tank

This great Isreal-based act called the quits about three years ago and only released (as far as I know) this record. It's definitely leaning against power-electronics more than noise, since this stuff has pretty awesome rythms to it.
I strongly advice you to check it out if you enjoy bands like Ramleh.

Puscifer



Puscifer is definitely a band which has made the brightest of people scratch their heads. "What gives with the name?", "what gives with the current sexual topics?", "what gives with Maynard James fucking Keenan being in this band!?".
This is truly a strange affair of a record, wether it's the dance-friendly track "Queen B.", the bluesy "Momma sed" or the extravagant lounge-outro "Rev 22:20".

It's definitely an elaborate piece of work, but this is basically Maynard James Keenan's own version of a colouring book, it's strictly his ideas and it's really just him mucking about for a good 45 minutes, which kind of explains the retarded sexual names and themes.

Another evidence of this not being a serious affair is the fact that they actually released the entire album as a, brace yourself, remix album.
...
...
Remix album's are not to be taken seriously! Honestly!
