WORMSBLOOD - THE GRAVE HILL




Dark, thoughtful cassette from the blacked cheesescapes of Wisconsin. This tape is seriously FUCKED UP. There is simply no other way to describe it. Chances are you probably won't even like it on first listen. Just you wait for that second listen though, you cheemy little bastard. 

A damaged, deranged excursion across the post-apocolyptic tundra of depression; replete with ominpresent wolf-howls laced into the buzzing void. Keep hating yourself. You can almost feel the mud and snow soaking into your shoes.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - SONIC ATTACK 3x7"





Let's discuss Hawkwind for a moment, shall we? To steal from an associate of mine- DRUG SOUP. All this "Space Rock" or "Druggy Sound" that you have to hear cheems go on and on about these days- those dome-melters wouldn't exist without Hawkwind. I'm not going to go on and on, I will just say that I thought my friend was joking when he recommended me a hawkwind record at age 15. I listened to it and became a little less of a tool.

Trensmat, great new psych label across the water, released a limited set of three 7"s comprised of six contemporary bands covering Hawkwind. The records were more or less sold out before they even made it to stores. Shit is out of control and you need to hear it. Of particular note- the Bardo Pond track is absolutely garunteed to introduce you to an entirely different level of thought. Be sure to send me a postcard when you hit that next level of consciousness. Righteous.

BLACK FLAG - DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION



I remember being about 14 and never really liking Black Flag much. Henry Rollins just never really did much for me. Then I saw the Black Flag portion of Decline of Western Civilization and everything changed. I can't discuss punk records without finding out who the person's favorite Black Flag singer is. For my part, the songs on SST-001 featuring Keith Morris are by far my favorite, however I'd have to say Chavo was my favorite singer because he is such a fucking dick. Seriously- what a disgusting piece of Canadian born-again-christian shit.

Enjoy this clip that solidified my love of Black Flag and provided a great knowledge base on how to be even more shitty at life.
