Shonuff again!

 

That time again, we play records and watch movies while drinking cocktails. Best night in town.

Godstopper - Demo (2010)

Seriously, I can't stop listening to this at the moment. Its grimy hooks are buried in my brain, yanking away, screaming for me to listen. Godstopper exist in a strange realm where Swans had a love child with Ween and this demo is the outcome of that sordid night. The weird, mid range sludge of the guitars seems at odds with the very melodic "rock" of the vocals at times but in this world they work perfectly together. The suffocating, claustrophobic, lo-fi production only adds to the general air of grime and filth which in turn makes the vocal patterns leap out from the mix. I really have struggled at trying to describe this to people so I will just leave it here for your to understand yourselves..

Here is the video for the best song on here, seriously. I love this so much.

Big Black - Live at The Cafe Voltaire (1987)

Awesome live recording that captures Big Black's caustic sound and also Albini's caustic wit from a 1987 show in Milwaukee. I would use the term greatest hits to describe the set list but it feels redundant to use that term with Big Black, instead lets say its the best mixtape you could think up to give to someone to educate them on this amazing band.

I got this over at a pretty sweet blog called Know Your Conjurer. Its an education reading that thing.
