nothing as far as new bands, but some stuff I've recently gotten or been listening to a lot lately....
FAREWELL TO WORDS - Tear Down This Wall ep
- they are typical metalcore from Germany. I only got it because the singer is a girl that I've met a few times and shes hot. Shes not the singer
anymore (if the band even still exists)
BUZZOV.EN - Violence From the Vault ep
- this just came out this week but its actually stuff that was recorded in 1994 after their tour with Gwar. Its the last stuff with the original
line-up and would have come out after the 'Sore' lp which is awesome!
CAPTAIN CLEGG AND THE NIGHT CREATURES - Self Titled LP
- this is another band created by Rob Zombie with all the songs written & performed by Jesse Dayton. Not totally sure how to describe it... its got a
country feel to it but with a dash of The Misfits maybe. If you liked Banjo & Sullivan you will like this.
CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED - Ghost Town single
- this is Richard Christy's (Iced Earth, Death, Howard Stern) new band which has Ripper Owens (Judas Priest) on vocals. Its very technical fast
metal. Not bad, but not great. I wouldnt have bought it if it wasnt for Richard being in the band. I'm really waiting for the next Caninus record that
he's suposed to play drums on.
EGG HUNT - Self Titled 7"
- this is far from new, but to be totally honest I dont think I had ever heard it. Its only 2 songs, but they are both really good. Obviously not as
good as Minor Threat, but I liked it better than most Fugazi stuff. (Thanks Dave!)
LAWNMOWER DETH - Ooh Crikey! It's Lawnmower Deth! LP
- lyrically they are kinda like an English M.O.D., just silly songs mostly metal but with some weird stuff thrown in. Side note: in 1990 I was in a
'funk metal' band with a bunch of friends and for some reason we did a cover of 'Got No Legs, Dont Come Crawling To Me' by Lawnmower Deth.
MOUTH SEWN SHUT - Doomed Future Today LP & Pandemic = Solution LP
- I'm sure most of you guys know MSS already, but I just heard them for the first time when they played with The Welch Boys, For The Worse & Fear in
Providence last year. I dont really know what to make of them, but I like it!

RULE!
not much of this is new but this is what i've been on this week
Kowloon Wall City - Turk Street (love this band... noisy post-hc sludgy stuff, little bit of Unsane, little bit of Neurosis)
Eyehategod - Dopesick + Take As Needed For Pain (these guys are coming to europe this year.... just really slow and miserable sludgey doom)
Fever Ray - s/t (the newest of the bunch, randomly stumbled upon this over xmas... sort of weird electro music, very chilled out, very 80s sounding in
places... kinda like Bjork mixed with Depeche Mode)
Polar Bear - Dim Lit (don't know enough about jazz to comment in detail so i will just say really good modern jazz from London)
Organized Konfusion - S.T.R.E.S.S. The Extinction Agenda (mid 90s hip hop from NY)
Rollins Band - The End Of Silence (i'm sure you know this one... one of the greatest albums ever)
Mark Lind
Slim Thug
Altar Boys
Dog Fasion Disco
Polkadot Cadaver
Bullet for My Valentine
Ramallah, Rise Against
Offspring (Hombre, Smash, and the new one which is ALOT more like their older stuff than the gay ass "give it to me baby" crap)
Colin Hay (Solo stuff from the lead singer of "Men at Work")
Credence Clearwater Revival
Tom Petty
and a bunch of other random stuff on my Zune...
Thanks guys. This will give me plenty to check out. And thanks to MM or BMT now, I've never really checked out Black Metal before. I may do so just
for something new.
For some of the listings I'm familiar with:
Lawnmower Deth - Love these guys. Weebles Wobble But They Never Fall Down!!!
Rollins - End Of Silence. Always a classic.
Pauls R&B mix - This has been on regular rotation in my car. Love that track "Michael", that is my first name and I sing that shit proud and my girl
just rolls her eyes at me.
I have been listening to a lot of Doo Wop and Rockabilly stuff and some Punk such as:
The Bob Knight Four
Huelyn Duvall
Gene Maltais
Ricky Coyne
The Templars
The Ejected
The Defects
The Roomates(UK)
The Mystics
Glen Glenn
A three volume compilation series called Rare Fifties Boston Rockabilly(I just love the New England 50s music scene).
Johnny Burnette Trio
The Racketeers
Ronnie Haig
The Crystalairs
At home my playlist is small with 90's rock mostly:
Ugly Kid Joe, Temple of The Dog, Soundgarden, Spin Doctors, Sponge, The Black Crowes, Tom Petty, The Who, Sublime, Soul Asylum, The Northern Pikes,
Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Staind. Also got single tracks of NOFX, Prayer For Cleansing & Strife, 38 total songs.
Lately on the iPod coming home it's been 00's metalcore, stuff like Jane, Heaven Shall Burn, Poison The Well, Hamartia, Prayer For Cleansing,
Bloodjinn, Killswitch Engage. A lot of stuff from 2000-2002.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
- Paul Morris, music director at 97.7 HTZ-FM
tonight has been the go go's and joan jett on youtube. last few days has mostly been jon j's audio version of evolution of a cro-magnon. they're all
good, but the last one is absolutely amazing. i seriously need to get the book now that it's been re-pressed.

Not really a big fan of rockabilly,but there stuff is really good.
Living a life kept shut by a dream,
I'm reaching out to grasp my reality.
Hands of time wrap tight around my neck, and hit me so hard,
leaving me eyes black.
staring at a ceiling,
wondering why i never left,
penning words in a notebook,
wondering why haven't slept.
sanity is tapping in a cell
inside my fucking head.
begging for redemption
after hearing what was said.
the nights, they will not sleep
cause the days, have played for keeps.
William Elliot Whitmore
Warren Zevon
James Hunter
Richard Thompson
The Steeldrivers
Tom Waits
