xxxp

n/m the Monotonprodukt vinyl is from last year’s reissue which I now see is the third version of the rec since ’03 (I’m sure he has a Blu-Ray version in the pipeline, let’s not besmirch his compulsion).

APS, if yr living situation goes down the shitter you can always turn to the dependable glowing void of a DAW f/ all yr companionship needs (p. sure ~fake techno~ is the official aesthetic of professional shut-ins + freaks, don’t ask how I know this).

(E3 OTM, lol at The Divine Punishment as creep nostalgia)

awww The Plague Mass CD was one of my first gifts to my now-ex. I think I reclaimed it after we broke up. So good!

Osasto, rolled a few times down an embankment:

Basic House - B.G. Feathers: http://youtu.be/ZVwlB3qv2qs

been digging this la machine record, they were one of the great bass-n-drum combos providence coughed up in the late 90s

castle face reissued one of their cassettes and it's like the dub album chrome never made

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCIVeBpOAt0

in other ancient cassette reissue news, rumor has it that evil acidhead, john mcbain's unearthly collaboration w/ ugly american greg chapman, will finally be released after 20+ years in the phantom zone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONADJXktKQQ

Connan Mockasin is back! His new album Caramel on Spotify. Um...I don't know how to describe him beyond 'fucking incredible wrong-sounding psych beauty' and that you have to hear him. First track is probably even weirder than anything else he's done

New BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE also on Spotify, it's gonna be a weird evening :D

Mockasin was ok. BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE is fucking amazing amazing amazing music amazing

I think Wooden Ball shades the new one, Breaking Mirrors, but for a band to have released two albums this good inside a year is frankly astonishing

'86 -> '13 from Not Here/Not Now:

Swans - Coward: http://youtu.be/36sfWXKk1JE

4X now, like a goddamn junkie. peerless punishment.

so many v. obv postpunk influences interlaced in here, but I keep circling back to the two-fisted keyboard kraft + meltdown vox of live Suicide and their commendable efforts at befouling NYC:

Pharmakon – Ache:

(Abandon a violent sleeper AOTY.)

Liz Harris/Jefre Cantu-Ledesma collab Raum is nice and gauzy:

Been really kicking off on the goats for the last couple of days to this track by Forebrace. Feels slightly like a demented version of the Taking of Pelham 123 theme.

somebody explain splittercore 2 me. is it real? I want to believe.

E3 I know u have heard gabber + its sundry ultra-bpm hyperkore krokodil-shooting-anthem progeny b/c I recall blessing u w/ said festering musical misery via magnetic tape approx 70 years ago. which aspects of 2013's arrested ultraviolent nihilistic never-employed pornogore-fanatic jugend hatchlings are giving u pause? splittercore is magic we can all share.

xp

L.I.E.S. gets clowned on ILX due the ~hype phactor~ but I have never had to mingle irl w/ any of the other quite probably horrible ppl who listen to this music so I will agree w/ you on the Shadowlust.

i thought ilx loved l.i.e.s? or do u mean like lex (lol)? some of the techno stuff is too boring for me but im not super into techno anyways

eh, it’s standard low-level bobbins cru carping about the elevation of noise and its corollary ~the degradation of groove~ together purportedly making the material sound like shit on sound systems + difficult to mix w/ standard techno fair. also, annoyance w/ the hype factor/crossover appeal that grants the artists greater coverage than veterans who don’t have a novel noise angle, which I’m sure is true but IDGAF. tbf I enjoy the label’s tunes more as lo-fi psych jams + I don’t have to mix this racket into crowd-moving sets.

ugh fare

most of the stuff posted here between september and october is blowing my fucking mind. thank you all.

well "most of the stuff" i guess is about 5 bands/albums, but still that's a lot.

i'm familiar with BBB, but I hadn't heard any new stuff from them since they kinda updated their production value. i'm into it though.

well gabber was v well-defined w/ a geographical ground zero (rotterdam) + (in)famous practitioners of the art + labels and such, whereas based on its brief wikipedia entry and approx 1000 mp3 compilations on archive.org for all I know splittercore is a genre hoax perpetrated by a single overcaffeinated 4chan manboy

don't even get me started on extratone

in other news I can't listen to blanche blanche blanche without vacillating tween "this is pretty cool" and "this should only be listened to in dorm rooms" but I guess seeing them tonight w/ guerilla toss will help me make up my mind

Doctor C on Cardiacs springs to mind tbh

Repulsively dud. Idiotic prog-wacky for the lower sixth.

harsher judgment than what I had in mind but yeah overly busy stuff like the cardiacs and sleepytime gorilla museum has never particularly tickled my pickle

I mean frenetic as a style marker is a valid raison d'etre but if we're gonna fuck ya better bang me like a rabid rhesus monkey and not a hummingbird w/ goddamn protractor wings

omg wut!?

math is fun and other shibboleths

yeah i still can't figure out if i like em either... lj love doesn't help lol

way back in the dark ages of gabber there were already 1000-bpm cornball fux vying f/ the prestigious wet merkin prize f/ crippling onanism, so this particular strain of teen stupor has been around f/ a while. also, we may have shot past the point where ephemeral microgenres require anything more than self-referential authentication (p. sure no one glomming onto "splittercore" is waiting by the phone f/ Wenner's approval). idk, yr right in some old-media sense, but the youths on Bandcamp are cranking out new tags by the crate and it's less hoax than wager (the ghost of shit future will see you now).

I'm all ~cantankerous yelling at cloud~ since I've updated to OSX 10.9.

Gotta love Holodeck Records

def need to revisit the Sungod + Troller recs.

I've been hearing about the new ssleeperhold album. Is that worth listening to?

gonna check out L.I.E.S. affiliate steve summers tonight at the annual PVD weirdbeat event known as xanadont

I don't know much about most of the Holodeck releases but that Troller record is def in my top 5 of the year.

The Demdike Stare Testpressing 3-part 12" series from this year seems relevant to this thread and I haven't seen them mentioned. They are amazing.

I've been hearing about the new ssleeperhold album. Is that worth listening to?

not feeling its oddball Godflesh/v-wave/minimal synth melange but the title track is cool: http://holodeckrecords.bandcamp.com/track/ruleth

boiling beat vat pressure blasts of hiss and clamor in 4/4:

Five Star Hotel - The Disconnect: http://fivestarhotel.bandcamp.com/track/the-disconnect

Pete Swanson - Life Ends at 30: http://youtu.be/MOLcBm_Z7W8

imago, if you’ve ever felt all torn up inside by Death Grips’ callow disregard f/ extended audio annihilation you may find solace in these nigh-interminable collisions.
