As promised, a super-double-bonus mixtape this weekend. I love every song in this one passionately. Which is different from every other mixtape I've ever made... how?

 

I saw Islands since last time I talked to you, and it was fucking amazing. Maybe I'll talk at you about it next week? Maybe not? If you ever get the chance to see them, do it.

 

Ben Allison and Medicine Wheel - Riding The Nuclear Tiger

 

This is the title track from one of my favorite Ben Allison records. His Medicine Wheel quintet is pretty mad hot. Allison is a bassist/composer who I found out about through On The Media of all places, and I love his shit. Yes, I'm into jazz. Sorry it took so long for me to get some on the show. Anyway, the drummer on this track is the shit, and in general so is the rest of the track as well. Hurray. If you like what you hear, check out the record that this song comes from as well as his record "Cowboy Justice." I'll try to play something from that one sometime, although I'm hesitant to play jazz on this show. Doesn't seem like there's much of an audience.

 

Converge - No Heroes

 

This is the title track from their new record, which you'll be hearing tracks from on the next five shows as part of an ill-conceived effort to bully you into purchasing it. It's good times, album of the year style. This song is so fucking fast, and so fucking intense, and muscle-spasm-inducing-good!

 

Themselves - It's Them

 

Oh abstract art-rap! I love you! Doseone's voice is just straight-up incredible, and the production is neat. Both of their records (Them and the no music.) are really worth getting, consider it if you like this. "It's not actually bad rap, I just don't feel it. There, I said it."

 

Harvey Milk - I've Got A Love

 

A friend of mine here turned me onto these guys, and they're incredible. A lot of the time they sound like Lynyrd Skynyrd if they were ungodly heavy and crushingly melancholy. This song isn't really like that, but you'll deal. I'm playing a few more tracks by them in the future, and I think you'll see what I'm talking about on at least one of them. They're hella-underground, go support them.

 

Red Sparowes - Like the howling glory of the darkest winds, this voice was thunderous and the words holy, tangling their way around our hearts and clutching our innocent awe.

 

I know the song title is ridiculously long and pretentious, but they're instrumental and the song titles tell a story like lyrics. It's actually really neat, you just have to see all of them in sequence to get it. Anyway, this is a post-rock band with members of Isis and Neurosis, and they are good. This record came out this year and it's definitely in the running for my top ten list. I didn't really get into it at first, but it clicked REALLY HARD a couple of weeks ago.

 

Enjoy!

In this episode:

Sorry I can't talk on this one, I'm "busy."
Converge's new record leaked, and it's literally the singular best album I've ever heard. Oh my fucking God. Expect tracks from it in the future.
I went to a neat house show, read all about it at last.fm.

This mixtape is of shit that is so fucking metal it feels like your eardrums are being gangraped. I hope you're into that shit.

Tracks:
Animosity - Holy Shackles

Animosity are a really new band, and they play really fucking tight live, check them out if you can. They only have one vocalist, pay attention to his range.

Arsis - The Face Of My Innocence

Arsis is a fucking two-piece. Everything but the drums is recorded by one guy, and when they play live he shreds that shit just as hard as on record, and while screaming no less.

Goatwhore - Alchemy Of The Black Sun Cult

This song is both groovy AND death metal crushing like hell! How do they pull it off?

1349 - I Am Abomination

1349 are probably the best live band I've ever seen. Everything is as fast and as tight as this song, executed without a hitch. If you're unimpressed, go back and listen to the drums again. Holy fuck. They're from Norway, and 1349 is the year the black plague hit Norway. They like Satan a lot. The picture is of their guitarist. He has a shaved head now, and looks even more demon-y. Wristbands covered in nails, motherfucker! I AM... ABOMINATION!

Necrophagist - Ignominious And Pale

So over-the-top! So good! Oh my God so good!

Enjoy!
