mod flanders conspiracy - the tragic urn spill

released 2002

seeing as how everyone seemed to enjoy the posting of some uncle touchy...i've decided to expose you to these fellas

i first came across this band via mp3.com (remember that site?...when i'd heard that it was going out of business...i went through it and treated it as if it were your sister...that's right...i said it)

before the band split up back in 2005...the band released 2 albums (TAKE A RIDE ON MY ONE-WHEELED RICKSHAW being the other)

are you a fan of the first mr. bungle album?

have you heard of a band called dog fashion disco?

what about nuclear rabbit?

what do song titles like "bill nye the science guy makes me wanna cut myself" and "just because i got my arms and legs surgically lengthened doesn't make me a sell-out midget" make you feel like?

so...if you're sitting there naked...with a rubber chicken....

nirvana - 4.18.90 - man ray - cambridge,ma

as you all know...we here at the SGM are some nirvana fans (well...except for that one guy...and that's why he stays in the basement...and is always referred to as "that one guy")

apparently there was a long lost nirvana show that was recently found...and the friendly folks over at pitchfork.com were kind enough to share it with the rest of us

so if you just go on ahead and follow the link...you too can enjoy it for yourself

and not to worry...just because you click on the link doesn't mean your pants will automatically get tighter...and you won't suddenly find a messenger bag attached to your body...and you won't find yourself wearing a sweater with a kitten on it...and you won't find yourself suddenly speaking only in metaphors and adjectives

murdervan - jaundice ep

released 2008

melvins
nirvana
mudhoney
soundgarden

did your pants get a little tighter after reading that?

well...get prepared to take those pants off

you get all of that right here

but without that grungy aftertaste

that you can do on your own

and while you're in the neighborhood...check this out as well

Shameless Self Promotion - Final Edition

Alright, already, I know, I know. But seriously, this is the last time I'll mention it.

Uncle Touchy

Sonn Av Krusher

TurnDownService

18+ 9:00pm

You will surely note that the flyer about lists Liers In Wait as headliners, and that has changed. Uncle Touchy is headlining, TurnDownService is opening, and Sonn Av Krusher is playing in the middle. So come out and buy me a beer, I'd love to meet anyone who frequents this blog (I think...maybe).

Glendale - Glendale 7"

Label: Art Monk Construction
Year: 1994

In the wake of the Lincoln post a few posts back, here's the Glendale record that was recorded at WGNS with Geoff Turner. Their only record mind you. It was Jay Demko of Lincoln teaming up with Darren Zentek (Kerosene 454, Oswego, Channels, Office Of Future Plans, Report Suspicious Activity), James Marinelli (Samuel), and Steven Kuhn (uh, Glendale) to hone the post-hardcore D.C. style that Lincoln was chasing on their second (self titled) 7", which ends up flirting heavily with the post-hardcore San Diego style. So if you like that kind of mathy post-hardcore, then this is a good one for you.

Continuing To Hijack This Blog For Personal Gain

Bros,

As I mentioned more than once last week, there has been a call-to-arms issued for the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia (USA) vicinity, whereby you are to dutifully report to the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday night, November 5th to bear witness to a possibly fantastic, possibly traumatic evening of auditory terrorism.
Easy enough, right?
Well, not so fast. Turns out the headlining band for said evening of "audio terrorism" (really? that was the best we could come up with?), none other than 1980's industrial/metal/gothic/live sex act Liers In Wait have cancelled off the bill due to medical issues (please insert "cold feet" joke here). I'm sorry for their loss, but as the adage says, the show must go on.
And go on it does, and go on even better then before (no offense to Liers In Wait)! The new bill is as follows:

Uncle Touchy
(live from Uranus, ex-Milque Lizard. AmRep x SST x Rednecks = Awesome!)
Sonn Av Krusher
(ex-Car Vs Driver, Hal al Shedad, Chocolate Kiss, Regicide, Line Drive, Hands Of An Angry God, Bloodspoon, Noot d' Noot, Judi Chicago, Ultivac, Pink Panties, and on and on and on. Pummeling hate!)
TurnDownService
(ex-Freemasonry, Haricot Vert. Math-rock bliss!)

So, get off your asses and get to the show!

bloodlet - the seraphim fall

released 1998

"just when i thought i was out...they pull me back in" -90's hardcore

so...here we are again

i've gone on record before stating that bloodlet were one of the few bands on the victory records roster that held my attention (and yes...even the THREE HUMID NIGHTS IN THE CYPRESS TREES album)

it was a song from this album ("dogman with horns") that was included on the VICTORY STYLE III compilation that got me turned onto the band

there was just something about the old man gasping for air vocals and the sludginess of the music that did it for me

so now...if you'll join me out on the dance floor...we can pick up invisible change off of the floor...or start a two man dog pile...or just point fingers at each other
