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,

GO HERE.

"Third Alternative" just made my day.

I like how I can call me fucking around on the internet, if it's musically related, "research".

I was doing "research" last night and randomly found this song as someone's live show video. I looked up the song and ended up doing some mass downloading all because I needed to find it as an mp3.

Early Man - "Fight"

In any case, it sounds...really...good. It feels fairly typically thrash but, you know, modernized for the kids who don' growed up on the em teevees. And fucking catchy as shit lyrics. I like the way the singer's voice is [produced] here, too.

You'll find this on their self-titled 2005 EP. You'll also enjoy how the second song sounds like Black Sabbath after the first sounds like Metallica.

Here's the vid (and check out the rest of that user's videos while you're at it):

A few weeks ago, my pal Ren posted some Eggnogg song(s) online. Being still over-saturated, I skipped them... only to later have him post them at me instead. I gave them a shot, and sure enough, this live performance video 'did it':

That's the song "Northern Lights".

The songs on their 2009 album entitled III are each individually welcoming various states of doom, but this one is particularly mellow throughout. Even though it's accurate that they've been compared to Electric Wizard, it's an unfair way to approach Eggnogg as a first time listener. Despite being low and slow like said band, I think they can carve their own way with marching guitar bits like at the end of this song.

You can also listen this and others on their myspace.

Tweak Bird just posted a new song to their myspace:

"Sun/Star". "Millions of Suns". (Edit: Thanks for changing the name after I'd already posted that everywhere, ya jerks.)

It sounds more relaxed than Reservations material, more in line with what's been seen of them live this last year. Still spaced the hell out, especially with the indefinable instrumental bit... oy vey.

And today was Melvins' first day in the studio, in which they posted this video of their dual percussion abuse:

Also, today I heard Trent Reznor's recording? Recording what, I guess we'll find out.

Ditto on Parade of Storms, though I'm sure they're recording a Parade of Storms of album.

And that damn TB song put me right in the mood for Ancient Age's "Angela". If she'd've listened to me, she would still be aliiiive.

I can't find any real information on this band, which is unfortunate. They sound familiar to some Portland/Seattle bands, and I could see them playing with a band like Black Elk or Rabbits. They're new and far, far away, so I doubt that's going to happen... but you may also notice the similarities.

Two videos (of several I found).

Entrance - "Lookout!" video:

October 26, 2009

Since I had time to work on the Black Cobra video, I had time to clip and upload the couple of Fu Manchu videos I got. Nope, didn't record any new songs. My wrist was hurting and the two full songs were probably annoying enough.

"Mongoose":

"Evil Eye":

Oh, and like I said... my camera hates the color red so these are blurry and shit. I didn't do any video of Nether Regions or Salvador since I knew it would just be pointless, considering.

The guy who whistled needed to be strangled.

Oh, right, and while you're at it: PHOTOS!

Nether Regions & Salvador
Sweet Cobra & Black Cobra

Yeah, why take pictures of the headliner? ...In truth, they didn't come out.

(If this video looks funky, go to this link instead. I had to resize it for my blog and didn't feel like playing with the calculator all night to make it look perfect.)

Some of the most boring days of my life have been spent at Oaks Park. Unique, yes, but not "rockin'".

Glad I didn't go to that show. It looks packed and hot as fuck. Once in a while those shows are okay, but not back to back. Also, anyone see any girls or women in these photos/video? Oh, two? Yeah. That's what I thought.

Apparently converting and uploading seven videos takes almost a full day to accomplish when you're retarded. It's too bad the video on this isn't at least a little better (particularly for Black Elk) because the sound is really good. What you hear here is pretty much what it sounded like in real life.

Big Business - "I Got It Online" (clip) + Tweak Bird in a massive finale:

Note that Big Business is currently on tour with the Melvins AS the Melvins, Black Elk has a TON of shows coming up with some really great, above par lineups (Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, Jucifer, YOB...), and Tweak Bird is also in perpetual motion. They have another show coming up here on September 3rd which I'm sure means a whole set of dates have yet to be officially announced. See them if you get a chance, they're fucking fantastic.

I found the reason why Mastodon sucks so bad lately.

They've been spending their nights hanging out at dance clubs.

Song: "Craigslist"
Artist: Weird Al Yankovic
Album: Craigslist (2009)

This song is grand. Weird Al doing a Doors impression. Add video skills from Liam Lynch, and you get... this:

I still have a copy of Alapalooza around here somewhere...

Song: "Ephraim"
Artist: Thrones
Album: Sperm Whale (2000)

Every time I've seen Thrones, this song has been played first.

In recorded format, it's only about four minutes long which is fairly tolerable even for those of us with shorter attention spans and more immediate needs.

Live, however, "Ephraim" is stretched out to about fourteen minutes. Listen to the first minute and that's what it's like pretty much the entire time.

The second time I saw Thrones, I had a "this again?!" sort of internal reaction. The third time around, though, just watching all of the "scene" people clear out of the room was worth it. I've never seen a musician have such a repelling effect on people before. This particular song is very "drone" which is a difficult genre to begin with and certainly not for everyone. Perhaps with the popularity of certain similar bands people know what they've come to witness or at least fake the staying power to impress themselves in the name of something or other. As far as I've noticed, Thrones doesn't have this "for the sake of" appeal.

In watching people clear out, I wondered if perhaps Mister Preston chose to play this song so long and first specifically to weed out the morons in the room. For some reason (the reason of me being the kind of person who'd do something like that), this idea comes across as REALLY funny. Even if it isn't on purpose... wow.

I did not like this song at all the first times through, but after that and since getting the recorded format of it... I'm afraid I can't NOT like it.

In it's four minute long incarnation, it's a nice moody song. In its live 13-15 version, it's simultaneously irritating and hilarious. Both versions, worth it.

For those of you looking for or interested in Roadburn stuff, people started uploading some decent quality videos to youtube days ago... There's much more than this, but you'll have to go looking for yourself. Give it a month and I'm sure there will be ten times what you can currently find.

White Hills:

Neurosis:

Saint Vitus:

The Atomic Bitchwax:

Church of Misery:

Mono:

Go congratulate Hackman on their six seconds of fame. They still have 14 minutes and 54 seconds left, so don't act like a jerk or you're going to be forgotten when they're raking in the MTV cash.

Or whatever.

1:05 is what you're looking for.

Or this.

Check out this youtube channel for a bunch of recent Oaks videos. Looks like it must be their whole set from a show.

When you're through: download or buy.

And seriously, don't hesitate. Oaks is better than the shit you've been listening to and you don't want to miss out on that album.

And some more. Those of you without youtube accounts should get one so you can automatically view high quality versions of video (and sound). Granted, you have to change the settings in your account either way, but it's much nicer.

I finally got around to uploading some more song-videos to youtube. Here's one. There's also Black Cobra's "Beneath" and Tweak Bird's "On and On". For anyone that missed it before, I uploaded Monster Magnet's "Stadium" half a year ago as well.



Oh, and just the record, I have a crush on Sony Vegas. It's like Sony Acid... but with video!

Song: "Good Deeds"
Artist: Adult.
Album: Why Bother? (2007)

If the player doesn't work, scroll down to the third video (from fabchannel) on the left side of their myspace profile.

Interesting little hyper electronic song, here. Familiar to Le Tigre and a hundred other electronic bands with a darker style.

Edit: Embedded video more! Here's the link. It's in the concert video player.

Another bulk post while we get acquainted, mm? I loaded up mostly new-to-me songs in Winamp early this week, and hoped for the best. All of these were found online, so if you want to hear a song or more from the band, just do a search.

Song: "Combustion"
Artist: Meshuggah
Album: obZen (2008)

This album comes out March 7th, so I don't have a link for the song yet. You can find it online if you're so inclined. This band is touring with Ministry in March-April, and it didn't occur to me how they were linked bands until I heard this song. Listening to it a few times, I'd say that if you've heard Meshuggah and found them boring, you will like this song. However, if you are a Meshuggah fan, chances are pretty good that you'll find this song a bit too simple.


Song: "Fire Lances Of The Ancient Hyperzephyrians"
Artist: The Sword
Album: Gods Of The Earth (2008)

This is the first single for their new album, due out April 1st, preceded by this particular song as a its first single. As with Meshuggah, I don't have a link to post yet, but you can find a 20 second clip on their myspace. It's a pretty standard The Sword track, although perhaps more hyper than what can be found on their 2006 album Age of Winters. Good stuff, here.


Song: "Locust Star"
Artist: Neurosis
Album: Through Silver In Blood (1996)

This band is familiar to Isis in their ambiance, except probably more suited to those coming from a heavy rock/metal background. I'm not sure what to say about them besides that, other than that I don't know how I missed hearing these guys until recently. This song, however, is very good.

Hear/See it here:





Song: "You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side" (fan video)
Artist: Morrissey
Album: Your Arsenal (1992)

Another artist I missed due to ignorance. Morrissey was originally the singer for the Smiths before starting his own project in the late 80s. This has a bouncy rockabilly, alternative rock feel that most of you should be able to appreciate.


Song: "Prehistoric Dog"
Artist: Red Fang
Album: Tour EP (2007)

If you like stoner rock with leanings towards heavy, grunge-y rock, you will like this. This band has a Melvins feel to them. If you live in the Western half of the US, you should be able to catch these guys on tour in March. Also check out "Reverse Thunder" on their myspace (linked).


Song: "Down In Mexico"
Artist: The Coasters
Album: Death Proof OST (2007)

If you like oldies or you've seen the movie Death Proof, you're already familiar with this song. Brilliant simplicity.


Song: "Bikini"
Artist: El Gordo
Album: The Man Behind The Machine (2007)

Apparently the fat man doesn't walk alone after all. There's a very Kyuss-y feel going on here. These guys are obvious fans of Dozer, too. I think it's unfair that there are so many good stoner rock bands, or bands in general, that are overseas, out of my reach.
