Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Fuck you: Robyn, The Amps, Sunn O)))

Once again, I am failing to update this every day. I'm even cutting into the weekend blowout for this one. Anyway, here it is, poppier than ever:



Robyn - "Robyn" (2007, Interscope)

http://rapidshare.com/files/81763659/08r_r.rar
Password: Zipile.com

The first half has its cringy moments, but "Handle Me" has to be the best pop song of 2007 and aside from the "With Every Heartbeat" trance bullshit, the second half is pretty awesome, climaxing with a badass cover of Prince's "Jack U Off". I've been rocking this shit for the past week.



The Amps - "Pacer" (1995, Elektra)

http://www.mediafire.com/?6ywpbmmjzci

The only record by the band Kim deal started while Kelley Deal was in rehab (i.e. no Breeders) and it rocks. Much more punk-oriented and lo-fi.







Sunn O))) - "Live In Paris - 12 December 2007"

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M62CZ2T7

Badass soundboard recording of the (slowly becoming) legendary show at the Caves Lechapelais in Paris. This is the radio WNE broadcast, all 85 minutes of it. I've only listened to half of it as of now, but I love it and I hope the next time they come to San Diego they do not partake in any of the 21+ bullshit they did last time.

Monday and Tuesday: Kevin Blechdom + Toadliquor

Alright, alright, I'm getting lazy. I told myself that I would to one record a day, but I'm failing at even that. Also, I apologize for calling Weekend Nachos powerviolence. It seems disrespectful to John, who hates the label so much. I mean, their new shirts say "FUCK POWERVIOLENCE" on the back. I take back what I said. Anyway, here's some, uh... Kevin Blechdom (indie electro punk pop what) and some sludge.



Kevin Blechdom - "Eat My Heart Out" (2005, Chicks on Speed)

http://www.mediafire.com/?fhphsco3fef

Crazy woman decides to make music and it rules. She's not attractive or a musical genius. She just makes amazing music and has more self-confidence than that Gossip tubbo could ever dream of coming up with.



Toadliquor - "The Horator's Lament" (2003, Southern Lord)

http://www.mediafire.com/?a1wtsjhz9mz

It's like Grief +1. Really good sludge with harsh vocals.

WEEKEND NACHOS WEEKEND BLOWOUT with special guests Masonna, Shellac, and The Martinis

Weekend Nachos - "Torture EP" (Tooth Decay, 2006)

http://www.mediafire.com/?9pzt03txbtz

Honestly, the best powerviolence record I have ever heard. I mean, I'm no expert, but I've heard my fair share of Infest, Spazz, Charles Bronson, and... Well, pretty much just Infest, Spazz, and Charles Bronson. Even though they reject the label, Weekend Nachos are definitely a powerviolence band, though they take the sludgy aspects of Infest to a much more extreme level. It's like Spazz fucking Grief. It's rare to be able to say this, so it feels weird to even type it, but these guys manage to be heavy as fuck while still playing faster than most other hardcore bands I've heard. That's not to say that they don't slow down to the realm of bone crushing when they feel like it, but I'm still amazed, after dozens of listens, at how heavy they are. You really need to hear it to truly understand what I'm attempting to describe. Fun fact: this blog's title comes from the last line in "Dimension X" off of this record.




Weekend Nachos - "Punish and Destroy" (2007, Cowabunga)

http://www.mediafire.com/?5vfzmtmixwt

This is their first full-length. It's not quite as good as their EP, but it still punishes. The title track is an insane sludge/chiptune behemoth reminiscent of Infest's "My World...My Way" from No Man's Slave.





Masonna - "Noskl in Ana" (1994, Alchemy)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I0ILTDPT

Wholesome harsh noise. I feel like I'm coming home when I listen to this. Not quite as good as the only other record I have of his, Open Your Cunt, but it's been growing on me over the past week. I'm fascinated with analogue noise, especially when it's this harsh.




Shellac - "Terraform" (1998, Touch & Go)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=28PRKZU7

This is the enigmatic one. This is the one with the 12 minutes songs.




The Martinis - "Smitten" (2004, Cooking Vinyl)

http://www.mediafire.com/?dhyxymy21zb

This is Joey Santiago of Pixies fame making some sweet pop music with his wife, Linda Mallari, Rachel Haden from that dog., and Josh Freese from A Perfect Circle. I dare anyone to listen to "Big Three Wheeler" and not want to dance along. Anyone.


Anyway, sorry about the short post. I've been pretty busy this weekend with work and sleep so I'm tired as hell and I just want to sleep. This was supposed to have some more Shellac and some Kevin Blechdom, but I'll post those tomorrow along with the other stuff I'm going to pretend I have planned.

Thursday: Nadja, Sunn O))), Dan Deacon, Sia

Nadja - "Radiance of Shadows" (2007, Alien8)

(Sorry about the separate files, but it was either this or Badongo, which makes you download their software to bring their two separate archives together. It's pretty goddamn retarded. I'll re-upload it myself tomorrow through Megaupload but I won't have enough time to do the Sunn and Sia ones before I have to go to sleep so if you really want it tonight, here it is.)



Sunn O))) - Flight of the Behemoth [2CD Daymare reissue] (2007, Daymare)


http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L4VN75G1




Dan Deacon - "Twacky Cats" (2004, Comfort Sand)

http://www.comfortstand.com/catalog/017/index.html



Sia - "Colour the Small One" (2006, Universal)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MCS84MEJ



Alright, that's it for tonight. More coming tomorrow.
