Johnny Foreigner- Waited up til it was light

Brilliant band. My girlfriend has always liked them, but I didn't really get into them until I saw them live. Almost effortlessly perfect noisy pop songs. The vocals get pretty annoying sometimes, but it's pretty hard to ignore the strength of their riffs

Anything I should see that might not be on my radar?

Ugh, don't mention SXSW. I've always wanted to go, but never have the money. One of these years I'll make it.

Defeater - Travels is the best hardcore release of '09 so far, in my opinion. They used to be known as "Sluts", and are out of Boston.

I hear this guy puts on one hell of a show, how was it?

I trust the Marnie Stern performance was solid?

Matthew Dear -Minimal/Micro House.

Both his 2003 album leave luck to heaven and 2007's ASA breed.

Thou is playing tonight and white mice are playing tomorrow. Going through that site there are some strange lineups going on.

I'm kicking myself for not making trying harder to get to Emissions from the Monolith when it was a mere 6 hour drive from me and now it's gone. If I had the cash to travel anywhere for a festival, I'd definitely go to Roadburn. This year they have Cathedral, Orange Goblin, Ufomammut, ASVA, Church of Misery, Saviours and a motherfucking St Vitus reunion. No fest in the states can top that as far as I'm concerned.

KK & BBQ put on a good show, but I've seen 'em much wilder. Jet lag? I would recommend seeing them if they come through your town. It's too bad Keith Morris, who was playing later, wouldn't come out and sing "Operation" with them. Also, check out KK's eightpiece, the Shrines.

Oh, and the Marnie Stern show was solid, in the face of numerous technical difficulties.

I'm all over white mice. Thanks for the recommendations, man!

Urk. I've got to shove some food in my face and catch a bus soon. I'll post yesterday's list later. Cheers!

So, so, so jealous. Trash Talk is so good, one of the only hardcore bands nowadays willing to actually take a chance and try something new. They just played a show on a bridge in the middle of the night in Texas last night, and are going on tour with the Bronx of all people in a month or so. They also played a few shows with Pig Destroyer for free in LA a couple of weeks back.

Anyway, I've been listening to a lot of Robotic Empire stuff. Gods & Queens is great, City of Caterpillar, Pageninetynine, Majority Rule, Maladay, etc.

Oh, and the Level-Plane 2005 compilation "80 Records and We're Not Broke (Yet)" contains a lot of good unreleased stuff from a lot of Level-Plane's good bands from that era, not all the shitty experimental hardcore/grind they sign now.

EDIT: Anyone see the Hydra Head Showcase at SXSW?

Mastodon - Crack The Skye

The vocals on this album are just...

null1024 · Post by **null1024** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 10:21 pm

My definite current favorite albums are Tonight The Stars Revolt [Powerman 5000], and De-loused in the Comatorium [The Mars Volta].

I'm trying to see if I like the entirety of Amputechture [by The Mars Volta].

I don't like Brent's and the bassist dude's, never have. Brann's should be more prominent next time, since he's not obliterating the drumkit anymore. Oh yeah, album is really good.

MadSteelDarkness · Post by **MadSteelDarkness** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 6:44 pm

Stuff I bought or was given at shows the last couple of weeks:

The Marked Men/Birthday Suits - 7 Inches For Your Ex split 7"
Birthday Suits - Cherry Blue
Human Eye - s/t
Masshysteri - Var Del Av Stan
Cococoma - "6 1/4 - 125"/"Take My Time" 7"

Chilling this afternoon with:

Junior Byles and Friends - 129 Beat Street - Ja-Man Special '75-'78

Yeah, it's a good one. Nice spacey guitars and riffs. Not fond of the vocals though

^OFFCELLL. Then Blue Screen Life.

Metallica - Kill 'em All

Acid King · Post by **Acid King** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 4:44 pm

Goatsblood - self titled
Fistula - Burdened By Your Existence
Aographobic Nosebleed - Agorapocalypse now

I finally got a hard copy of the Goatsblood cd. Still one of my favorites. I don't think I've heard another band ply a similar style. Grimey doom, sludgy grooves and fucking savage blastbeats. The new Agoraphobic Nosebleed is ace as well.

TigerCraneFist · Post by **TigerCraneFist** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 7:01 pm

hanoi rocks - self destruction blues (classics)
Brant Bjork and the Bros - Somera Sol
