Bass Drum of Death – Spare Room (MP3)

from WeeklyTapeDeck.com

Just one of the many Oxford, MS natives that you will probably hear us talk about in the future. Focusing on John Barret’s Bass Drum of Death, I’m sure the initial imagery points to a metal-manic face-painted macabre. While they do play heavy (and loud), BDoD is quite the contrary. I promised myself to refrain from referring to any music as shit-gaze, but they just fit in so well with bands that are coined as, er, with that term. John just sent over this new tune that is just as grainy but steps back from their usual avalanche pace (I swear October must be Ronettesappreciation month). Check for “Spare Room” to appear on their upcoming 7″ on brand new Nashville label, Baby Don’t (yeah, you see if you can google search it!). Also, they will be carrying a run of 50 cassettes for their upcoming tour with Lover!XX

Haunted House 'Guess Who's Not Coming To Dinner' Album Release Shows

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:35:38 +0000

With “Guess Who’s Not Coming to Dinner,” Haunted House prove they aren’t just another Minneapolis All-Star jam band. They are a formidable rock and roll unit lead fearlessly by Mike Watton. Band members and collaborators include, yet are not limited to Jon Davis (Ghostband), Adam Patterson (whitesand/badlands), Cole Claerhout (Dante & The Lobster), Martin Dosh (Andrew Bird), and Freddy Votel. (Skoal Kodiak)

They are an unrivaled, rhythm-heavy rock orchestra. A piano-heavy Pixies or maximal Modest Mouse draw comparisons but don’t nearly describe the freak fluency they share..

Here are some details about the release shows from Mike..

Capgun Coup from Omaha has been added to the October 30th Hexagon bill. Knife World was so stunned by the invite they were rendered speechless. So the line-up is, in no particular order since I’m not sure how that’s going to shake out, but this is my best guess:

Vampire Hands
Haunted House
Capgun Coup
Mute Era

FREE – 21+

Full line-up for the Halloween, and I have no idea the order:

An Ali Farka tribute band
Tender Meat
Ratt Poison
Awesome Snakes
Japanther
Haunted House

$5 – ALL AGES

Weekend Update w/ Moonstone, Dante & The Lobster, BareBones, POS, Slapping Purses, KRS-One, Saul Williams& more..

This show tonight will be sure to melt your face and your heart..

Cave – Machines & Muscles (Mp3)

Cave are a few lewd dudes from Chicago with an album called Psychic Psummer..

Jealousy – Intro Track (Mp3)
Jealousy – “Churn” (Mp3)
Jealousy – “Night Stalking” (Mp3)

Jealousy is a dude from San Fran named Mark. He sounds like a nice young fellow.

I needed to know what Mark needs for summer because I feel like he and I have the same chromosomes missing in our DNA. He wears leather jackets all the time and always has his hair in his face no matter how hot it is (however, he’s able to pull off a sexy look in cut-offs that you’d never see coming). Mark appreciates it when people lose their tempers and make enemies because it helps to know where people stand. Mark believes in reverb and guitar distortion like a religion, and his music is my favorite loud thing to blast while mind expanding, home alone. His vocabulary scares me but I should be scared. We should all be very, very, very scared. I just watched the republican national convention on TV and that Vice Presidential nominee who’s trying to ban sex education reminded me of Angelica Huston in that scary scene from Witches when she takes off her face. I think Mark is a prophet and it’s time for everyone to listen up. When I first moved to NYC, this cute brunette girl came up to me at Santo’s and said with the vivisected dispirit of a lovesick Manson girl, “THERE’S NO ONE IN THE WORLD LIKE MARK TREISE. MARK TREISE IS A GENIUS.” My impulse was to run, but I know how she feels. Here are Mark’s 20!!! summer essentials:

“Seasons in San Francisco Don’t Exist
The Summer is the Winter is The Fall is the Spring
I Left my house this August morning and smelled Christmas”

1. Summer Time Blues
2. LSD
3. Sun Glasses
4. Sex
5. Marijuana
5. Alcohol
6. Walking everywhere in the City
7. Spending every free moment on music creating GOD sound
8. Coffee/Tea
9. Swimming though I haven’t swam all summer (I’ve had a dreary summer)
10. Seeing live music at all costs, I want to see every band ever
11. Writing all day in lame coffee shops, loathing the human race
12. Leather Jacket
13. Not biting your tongue, getting in trouble, holding peers accountable
14. Pouring my soul through the love of my life Liza Thorn
15. Pain Killers
16. Lighting augmenting live painting in light, refractions artificial
17. Rivers moving water showers till the warm water’s gone
18. Shaking my head wondering what’s this is all about
19. Eating Lamb
20. Slipping into obscurity watching everything fade away

Mark’s band is called JEALOUSY. Duh, get a clue.
