AWOLNATION - Here Come The Runts
The Soft Moon - Criminal
What do you think of the new AWOLNATION? I was a little disappointed, but I like them enough to give it the chance to grow on me. (I felt the same way about RUN, which became a regular player in the long run.)

I’ll give it another listen, but I think I’m done. The last two just haven’t hooked me the way the first one did.
This dude is an STL local, came out of nowhere and dropped three pretty fresh little bandcamp releases in the last three months, he’s playing his first ever live set at my monthly noise/experimental show next week. Can’t quite put my finger on who he reminds me of.

when stuff like this gets play out live, do they redo their albums note-for-note? I suppose I’m asking if there is actually logic to the music.

I’m not sure if that is all laptop or if he’s got some kind of hardware sequencer he’s tweaking which would I imagine lead to more variation. I guess I will find out tomorrow. I know a guy Blank Thomas that does similar work that is all hardware, I know his shit is intensely programmed though, there is some “controllerism” to his performance but I am not sure how much is improv. Me personally, I just find some initial settings and sequences during practice the day before/at sound check and just wing it from there, all improv. Not that I make the same kind of music as these guys, but I have drifted in that direction from my straight up noise and drone days. Once you start syncing gear order imposes itself to a degree
Laptop with some kind of controller/mixer. Sounded pretty much the same as the albums but there was some variation, he was triggering sequences live. Turns out he runs mostly Pure Data if anybody is familiar with that program.
One of my favorite underground MCs, splits his time between STL and NJ. Have him booked for a short set on the God Bombs show here next Monday, mixing it up bit. I know he is stoked for it. He was just at the bar last Saturday shooting video for “Clap First”.
Zeni Geva- Freedom Bondage
PIG_Swine & Punishment
Fu Manchu - Clone of the Universe
VIVAT REX: in Remambrance of King D
Benefit compilation of (mostly) STL noise & experimental artists I put out a while back in memory of Darren Seals, a frontline Ferguson activist and rapper that was murdered (the sixth black man in the area shot and left in a burning car in two years).
I just switched it over to free download, there some REALLY good stuff on there.
Abstract Depressionism comp
Valis 2 comp
Ionnalee - Everyone Afraid To Be Forgotten
Early contender for album of the year, right here.
Hey, my dude Rec Riddles has a new video up, he shot a bunch of it at the Way Out Club, if you wanna see the bar I work at. You can catch me standing behind the bar looking at my phone at the beginning.
Lots and lots of Coil lately.
HR and Scatology have always been my favs but now I’m delving deeper into their discography (its fucking ridiculous).
Really digging the futuristic droney hallucinogen inspired Time Machines at the moment.
Morphine…lots of Morphine
NIN - The Fragile & The Slip
Dimmu Borgir - the new stuff
Controlled Bleeding
Special Affect
Thrill Kill Kult - their more disco stuff
Billy Joel
Barbra Streisand
new Judas Priest
Cannibal Corpse (god I love them)
Motörhead overkill album
Fountains of Wayne bootleg of acoustic gig
Was listening to new Cradle of Filth but I not like it…prefer the early stuff
Of course, the new Ministry & Necronomicon…and still grooving to Trax Box!! Its an epic collection [:)]
. The new Doctor Octagon. Not bad. Too little too late.
. The new Napalm Death comp. 2 discs of blistering grindcore. Love it.
. Meet The Residents
. Heart Of The Congos
I’ve also been listening to a lot of Hole. I dismissed them when they were popular as kind of a stupid macho knee-jerk reaction thing (“duh, she killed Cobain, dude” college idiocy), but coming back to them now, I see her as (musically) kind of a cipher – the quality of her songs is dependent on who actually helped write them.
So I like “Celebrity Skin,” but I think I had to get into and appreciate Fleetwood Mac as much as I do in order to fully enjoy “Skin.”
