Raw Moon - Demo

rmoon
This in one of the more interesting USBM releases I've heard recently. Raw Moon mixes elements of hardcore with their own brand of lo-fi-ish black metal. At times this reminds me of a tougher Sexdrome or something.

November 2010 Mix

November 2010 mix
So here's the November Mix I came up with. If you're at all like me, the beginning of winter months leave you feeling bummed all the time, and confused as shit when it comes to love. I have a totally love/hate relationship with these feelings. No one likes being bummed all the time, but when these feelings start popping up they are bizarrely comforting. Anyway these are the songs I've chosen to listen to in these ever increasing times of depression and freezingness. I hope you enjoy.

Zola Jesus - Valusia ep

I swear that last track lightsick absolutely kills me. I feel insane when i hear it, insane for being so floored by a little over four minutes of music . Swallowed by something, totally and completely.DL

ARTS - Vault Of Heaven

ARTS++Curtain+Cover_small
Vault of heaven is the sophomore release by mysterious American band ARTS. From beginning to end this album is amazing. Mastered from original 4 track cassette recordings to maximum volume to bury the listener in "deafening darkness".

Oh, I snagged this link from The Funeral Stench

Puerto Rico Flowers - 2

fdr021_prf_2_sm
On this new 7" John Sharkey gives us two new recordings, one original "Voice Of Love" and a cover of Neil Young's "When You're Lonely Hear Breaks". As fall approaches, Puerto Rico Flowers becomes more and more appropriate.

Sexdrome - Grown Younger

Sexdrome++small
I just ordered this LP like two hours ago from youth attack. Sexdrome mixes elements of raw black metal and that "mysterious guy hardcore" that seems to be all the rage right now, and delivers some very noisy, not so original, but still cool, blackened hardcore. Or something like that.

Sex Church - Six Songs

sex+church-2DL

Six songs (duh) from British Columbia's Sex Church. I was hoping to be pretty floored by this release since their first 7" was sooooo awesome. Unfortunately i wasn't. Not bad though for generic darkish-post punk-lo-fi-garagey-hipster-whatever you call it.

Lakes - Tray Of Fire 7"

trayfront
traybackDL
New 7" from Australia's Lakes. It's really hard to describe the sound of the 4 songs here. It almost gives off a similar vibe to OM, although saying that they sound even remotely similar would be a huge stretch. The songs are blown out and distorted, there is next to no percussion if any at all, and the music is fairly basic. At the same time the subtle melodies and overall catchyness of the songs makes for a really pleasant listen. The song Ancient Moss really stands out. Highly Recommended.

tumblr_l4p2o2iGvn1qzr59uo1_500On the way home from Paul’s graduation lunch, we were listening to the Modern Lovers in the car. My mother almost immediately was like “Who is this? I know this Voice”. When I told her what we were listening to, she told us this story about how Johnathan Richmond and my father we friends and that on more then one occasion he ate dinner at our house. My brother nor myself remember this at all, but still that’s a pretty great story! Oh yeah she also mentioned that she danced around the living room with him listening to Toots and the Maytals.
tumblr_l4nwoa1aa91qzr59uo1_r1_500So the only good part about my trip back to Rochester tonight was driving through the most intense fog at 2 in the morning listening to Mercyful Fate’s Don’t Break The Oath at full volume. Thank you King Diamond guiding me home safely.

Yussuf Jerusalem - Heart Full Of Sorrow

yussuf+jerusalem+-+a+heart+full+of+sorrow+album+coverDL
This record is a little all over the place. The first track is straight up (shitty) raw black metal, and the rest of the songs fall somewhere between really dark lo-fi pop and well... regular pop? I'm really into this. Oh, and I found it a record shop for like 7 dollars, so that was pretty awesome too.

Death In June - The Guilty Have No Pride

This Death In Junes first studio album from 1983. It's dark and creepy and great.

Death In June - Oh How We Laughed

dij+1987+-+Oh!+How+We+Laughed-1DL
This album was recorded live in 1982, and released in 1987. This album definitively sounds much heavier them most other Death in June stuff.

So far it seems pretty alright. I'm getting paid descent money to hangout in a record shop alone all day. My boss doesn't really leave me with much direction, he showed me how to ring credit cards, gave me keys to the store, told me if i have to leave for a short while thats fine but to be sure i locked up if i did, then he left. We'll see how it goes.
