Gaaaaaah! Damn those .rar files!


Don't have a .rar decompress utility at work and can't download one without getting one of the IT watchdogs up here to do it for me.

C'est la vie du internet...

After waiting over 2 hours for it to upload, its finally here.



Steel Pole Bath Tub, "Unlistenable"

http://www.sendspace.com/file/jo273f

Enjoy, it's good. It's 19 tracks, all mp3's of sonic goodness.

Is that their last one, recorded in an apartment or something, with the TV on and people playing pool in the background?

I'm not too sure about Listenable being their last one, but it's really good.

One more question:

WTF kind of name is Skronk? Is that like some sort of onomatopoeia or something?

Just asking.

I came across the name in an article Lester Bangs wrote about the No Wave scene. He said something about Chance playing noisy, "skronk" saxophone. I don't remember exactly.

EDIT: Here's the article, in all it's rambling goodness.

Lester Bangs... man what a treasure.

Too bad we don't have journalists like him and HST around any more.

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution - A Call To Arms EP



This is the first release from The Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, one of the bands under the umbrella of the New Jersey music/arts collective known as "The RISC Group" (which also includes Catch-22 and Streetlight Manifesto). If you can imagine what a "Streetlight Manifesto unplugged" session would sound like with the addition of a string section (consisting of cello, viola and violin) and some more Spanish and Eastern European influences, you got the general idea.

If you're a fan of Catch-22 and Streetlight Manifesto, you're going to love this.

A new full-length BOTAR LP is in the works, and they're actively recruiting musicians on their website. If any of you live on the West coast and are interested in auditioning for BOTAR, check out their webpage at http://www.acousticbandits.com/

Mongrel were a haphazard, DIY, almost throwaway one-off effort by a group of guys in Toronto. Their one and only live performance was in one member's living room.

But this self-titled release is pretty damn good stuff. Mid-tempo, heavily downtuned stoner vibe that's bleakly spooky with a stripped-down spareness.
