My list of decent new and new-to-me songs have outgrown my ability to keep track of them, so I made a compilation mix to showcase this moment in time. It has a little bit of variation, but it's mainly doom, sludge, yell music. You'll enjoy it if you have a longer than usual attention span (it's 95 minutes), an affinity for the Portland metal scene (four PDX bands), and/or cockroaches growing in your brain thanks to the radiation.  Tracklist: If you're curious, you can find all but one of these artists on my blog in some form - and many songs have been posted in the last few months. March 8, 2010
Last.fm said I'd like UFO. I was, like, bitch, you don't know me. And last.fm was like, "but E-nudge! I do! You can't deny my superior ways! You gave me Tool and now I know everything about you!" And then last.fm tried to propose, and I said yeah, whatever and screwed around with Soulseek on the side, then broke it off at the alter. Fucking tell me you know me, who does last.fm think it is? Anyway, yeah. I've heard the name UFO before, perhaps as recently as in the Swamp. I don't pay much attention to recommendations of bands that were active before I was even born, however. I think I have the basics down well enough from my couple of years of regular classic rock listening and spend most time lately listening to what's been made in the last 5-10 years save for my favorites. But my recent open recommendations-taking led me in the direction of UFO. I looked at their page, "Doctor Doctor" was the number one played song, so I downloaded the album it came from, Phenomenon. I was expecting nothing of real weight, and I heard: Oh. Well, okay. You got me there. March 7, 2010
Vildhjarta - "Shiver" The music on this song is fantastic during the first bit. I wish this song was just that first 40 seconds over and over. However, GENRE BAD. And I apologize for the vocals in advance. They made me gag a little because, here on earth, in this reality, in this decade, someone thought those vocals were "cool" enough to record, and cool enough to record like that. Here's hoping the band's full of teenagers who haven't been exposed to anything better. The good news is, the rest of their songs seem to mostly be just technical metal... so yay for them.

Most of this ended up in my new music folder in the last 2-3 weeks, and most of it was part of some last.fm recommendation. [Mid-way Start: 67.9GBs] Godhead Jessamine Dark Buddha Rising Noxagt Struck By Lightning Marble Sheep Pitchshifter Caspain Indian Anthrax Riff Cannon Seven That Spells Blind Dog Thorlock Lunachicks High on Fire Megaton Leviathan Apostle of Solitude Wizard Eye Darkthrone Droids Attack Mookerdam Otesanek Downtrodden Liturgy Cave Dead Luke Blowback RIYL Your Highness Electric The Grand Sluts of Trust Burning Colossus 2 SoSayeth Dirty Power Void Autolux demo Stonehelm JPT Scare Band Ghost Brigade Ten East The Death Letters and I'm irritated now. [Mid-way End: 69.7GBs] 3GBs deleted. Almost a whole disk's life has been saved, and less than 4GBs left to sort. yay.

My new music folder has gotten out of hand. I should have done the work necessary to make the music in it not in said folder anymore before I took a bunch of random last.fm recommendations and had a downloading spree because of it... but, alas, I didn't. This means I have 3x as much work to do when the time comes. So, this is a month and a half of recently-excessive downloading. I'm going to try to do the unusual thing and delete useless things as I come across them. Let's do this via date, starting with the oldest stuff. It will almost look random. [Start: 66.1GB free space] Fukkk Offf Veracrash S:T Erik Finchley Boys Whitey Hot Chip Gomer Pyle Ok Go King Crimson ASIWYFA The MassaCrista Sleep (live ATP) Rob Zombie Lions - V1 OvO Moses Buzzoven - HB Cosmotron Deadeyejack Mountain of Judgement Threefold Law Isabelle's Gift Lethe Union of Sleep Purple Mercy Sasquatch Delvic 1000mods Ihsahn The Ghost Is Clear Records comp Blackwaves What?

I will need to take a break and make a part two. Thus far have sorted ~5GBs. [Mid-way: 67.8GBs] March 5, 2010
I was doing "research" today and came across this band's demo on Shiny Grey Monotone. It has three songs that are also all available on their myspace. Check them out, and try not to be taken aback by the Russian you find... It sounds like awesome whether you understand it or not. March 5, 2010
(Note: This is a skewed re-posting of what I just said on facebook. Add me, assholes.) Zoroaster is recording. They are also "recording". Their channel: terminaldoom One video of the several: March 3, 2010
I don't need to hear this song again today. Murder City Devils - "I Want A Lot Now" Sounds exactly like high school, except there was no car. How about: Living's no good in this hick town and/or city Gonna be home and instant message my friend, he's *thumbs up* March 3, 2010
Sounds of Sagittarius now has a facebook page. Just what you've always wanted! March 2, 2010
THEIR WHOLE SET! I'd embed the video but it's too large for my site and the size is a prime number so sizing it down would make it look shitty. So, "Third Alternative" just made my day.
