Jeromes Dream - completed Disc 1

Okay, okay. Read the whole thing before you send me fiery flaming hate mail. Jeromes dream was a screamo band from 1997 to 2001. Still with me? Okay. I dare you to find any sort of resemblance between this band and the whiny makeup wearing crabcore you see haunting malls and skate parks nationwide. mathy, complex passages give way to cool "about as clean a sound you can get from a cranked amp" passages. The singer eschewed a mike in favor of just fucking yelling at the top of his lungs at shows for god's sake. Yes, its "emotional" music. But I'd put it in the same camp as Harvey Milk. Shit that just makes me scratch my head until it finally hits me. It's really, really good. Raw emotion that cannot be placed in any one category. Transcendent.

Ash Pool

Featuring Dominick Fernow (aka prurient) on guitar, little is known about this black metal side project besides their undeniable awesomeness. The first track in particular is just amazing. Ripped from a 7 incher so its a bit grainy.

(edit)

As a result of my mild retardation, lack of sleep, and overall half-assedness, I put these tunes up at 45 instead of 33. whoopsie! here is the correct link.

Athletico Spizz 80

Man oh man has my ass been lazy! I plan on staying active from now until the next time I lose internet. Here's athletico spizz 80. I dunno how to describe it. But you'll love it.

POLVO/ TJL

Polvo is a band I have only recently discovered, being brought to my attention by the very knowledgeable and talented Marcello. Think angular, open tuned guitar 90's rock in the vein of sonic youth, without all that "were so goddamn hip and cool, fuck yes look at us" shtick that is becoming quite tiresome. Yeah I said it. At least Polvo was smart enough to call it quits after the first couple albums.

P.S. saw the mighty JESUS LIZARD last week. Man oh man, they know how to put the shame on every band I've ever seen. Lightning Bolt twice was ALMOST as great. Yow is a crazy drunken fuck. Here's some vids from the Capitol Hill block party.Big thanks to Seattle's The Stranger for making me stand through 8 hours of faux-folk jangly jackoffs and doofusy beer and irony soaked frat rock. And the chick from the distillers, WTF? Every other band on the lineup can go fuck right off. Especially Black Lips.






How hard is it for people my age to "bring it"? 98 percent of the bands I like have members all over 30. The only exception I can think of off the top of my head is Xirin Arms.

HARVEY MILK

Goddamn what an amazing live band. Sorry to see Joe's not with them anymore. It's always a pleasure to share these guys, and the twisted remarks I get ("i like it, cept , you know, the RAAAAH" "too slow!" "too weird!" etc.) oh well. most peoples is dumb. Sorry it was late, sorry i'm lazy, shut up and enjoy their second to last show with Joe.

Thanks to Ryan for letting me rip the awesome audio from his awesome video.

Captured by Robots!

Captured by Robots may be the weirdest shit that I own. The guy built his own band, modded and melded instruments, and put on a pretty good show from what I hear. Here's his (their?) workout album, Get Fit With.

A quick note on the Harvey Milk: It's coming, I just haven't done it yet what with the 14 hr workdays and all. And I am also lazy.

NO TALENT

I have some friends. They have a band that goes by No Talent. They're fucking good. This is a really old vid, circa 1993. We were in 11th grade. shortly after this, No Talent opened for the Melvins a few times in Seattle and put out their first record "Violets". Since then they have released "Methods Of Cutting Off". No Talent is in the process of reforming as I type. They have a show scheduled in September, with more to come.

Harvey Milk

My first and only ( so far ) viewing of Harvey Milk. This was recorded in Portland at Berbatti's Pan last year. It was the final show of their US tour. I got to talk to Joe and Stephan for a bit before the show. Cool dudes, but they were very tired. Nonetheless, this was great show. Here now, you shall enjoy the opening song "Crush Them All".



RYAN

Hackzorz!

Not really. Ryan is joining me if you haven't figured it out already.

Melvins

There's a reason that your sitting home alone tonight. It's because your sitting on your ass looking up more Melvins video's. Indulge yourself in the live presentation of "Oven".

Filmed live in Portland, Or on 5-24-09.

Triclops

I found Triclops two years ago. They opened for the Jello 5-0 shows in San Fran at the GAMH. They're good enough for Jello Biafra and they're good enough to re-pop your punk cherry.

This is the first single off their latest album, "Out of Africa".

Dylan Carlson at the Greenhouse

Dylan Carlson at the Greenhouse benefit for the urban rest stop. Dylan played this show by himself, kicking out great guitar lines and pretty much entrancing the small crowd around him. Being a big fan of Earth, I gotta say it was a real pleasure to sit at his feet and learn a thing or two. Sorry that it cuts in, the line for the bathroom was long and I was kinda drunk. I'm pretty sure I only missed about a minute or two, max. and then some dude move the tape recorder over a few time, so theres a bit of dropout. BUT the goodness is there.
Enjoy.

Hexcrusher

Texas nes-molester and all around great guy Chris makes some sick sounds. Think the soundtrack to Contra on NES as played by early Napalm Death. Actually, that doesn't come close. Lots of hollerin' and bleeps, without the doofusy hipster chiptune irony. Please shoot him a message and buy a record, you wont be disappointed.
