La Dispute - Here, Hear. III

I'm listening to this now and it sounds pretty good. THey've got the Radiohead thing going on with the pay-what-you-want idea, but the money doesn't go to their pockets. CHeck it:

To those of you who are able to donate, I also want to stress that every dollar and cent donated to Well House will be used by the board and residents of Well House (there are actually 3 houses with 12 residents and 4 live-in staff members currently) to aid the funding of both the houses themselves (installing further solar panels, purchasing seeds and tools for produce farming, etc) as well as several fantastic and forward-thinking programs geared towards transitioning people with housing problems into self-sustaining, self-providing individuals. Rather than relying on government handouts and misappropriated programs that fail to address the housing crisis on its most basic levels, Well House provides a positive, communal environment for struggling people and families that addresses both financial and emotional need, all the while assisting in the general betterment of the community. I don’t mean to drag on or preach or anything, and I’m certainly not trying to guilt you into giving money, but, man, the place is so cool. I can’t stop talking once I start. People can be both extremes, I have a hard time remembering that sometimes.

Download it.

I wished that you would move to the sun

Ugly Casanova - Diggin Holes 7"
Ugly Casanova - Sharpen Your Teeth

Download

I remember it took my quite a long fucking time to find that Diggin Holes 7", so hopefulyl anyone looking for it will be glad to find it here. THis is a project Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse was involved in, and its really a good listen.

Do you blame yourself?

Broken Hearts are Blue - THe Truth About Love 12"

DOwnload

Old school mo. The singer's got a weird voice, but I dig it. It keeps me from feeling like I'm listening to another silly little band complain about something I relate to, and thus, lets me feel cooler as I weep.

Sixtoo - THe Psyche Intangible

Great fucking piece of underground hip hop. Sixtoo is a man of knowledge and a great producer, just like Alias. I wish they went on to rap more, but here is one of the few projects Sixtoo did back in the day with him rapping.

Sublime - Sublime

Dope album. Bradley Nowell once said anyone who listens to Sublime will have trouble coming up with one genre to say they fit into. Over time, I learned the best music is like that. Well at least most of my favorite bands are like that.

Dangers - Opossable

Gotta give them props for this song, the meaning is great and they throw in a "Fuck Beatles!"

Whats NOT to love here?



Base.
How low can we go?
Fuck the Beatles, I'm an animal
An upright ape with opposable thumbs
To hold the clubs
To hold the guns
Swing low sweet chariot
God bless my DNA
Drunk drive my Chevy to the levee
Let the flood come and sweep me away
No this ain't the apocalypse
It's the way shit has always been
From Sodom to Saddam
Attila to Tienenmen
A quarter million years of human being
A quarter million years as a human stain
We use ten percent of our gorgeous brains
And leave the rest up to cocaine
Lucy in the sky
Got her hands on a new shotgun
Lucy in the sky
Got her hands on a Remington
Lucy in the sky
Her shiny diamonds drenched in blood
And I know where the wild things are
Don't look far
Don't look far
'Cause I got wisdom in my teeth
And terror in my wars
Yes, I know where the wild things are
Don't look far.
Don't look far.
There's a reason that it's hard to look in the mirror.
There's a reason that it's hard to go to the zoo
And there's a reason you want to pry open the cage
See, you should be there, too.

if you have no regrets

you've never talked to yourself. ANd I mean to truly talk to yourself, to question what you think and what you believe and realize that you've fucked up on occasion or two. One can only understand what they've done when they don't think they've always been right.

But anyways, The Strokes are pretty great. Julian Casablancas' new cd is great too. Haven't taken it all in yet, but I've loved the first few tracks becasue I've heard them the most. But the band combines fairly catchy instrumentals and Julian's fucking ominous, self-deprecating, but enlightening lyrics. Really great band, I'd say. Can't wait for their next album.

is it weird that I've

never seen suffering as usual?

One of the least mentioned albums...ever... but surely a classic. Its So-Called Artists (Sole, Alias, and DJ Mayonnaise) dropping some motherfucking satirical awesomeness. Sole and Alias are the MC's and Mayo is the, uh, yea, he's the DJ. Great album from start to finish, I was really happy to have stumbled upon this a while back but could barely find it. I know Sole doesn't want his new material posted for bootlegging, but this is old and way to hard to find.

seems so strange

for me to bleed.

Classic fucking hip hop right here. ITs aged now, but its still gold. This is a group of dudes who meant what they said in their thug raps but also fucking knew how awful a lifestyle it was. 2pac was also someone like that, and he died, fuck the world for that by the way. So dig this shit, there isn't too much music like it anymore.

Check Bizzy BOne out, speaking some truth.



"Every body a thug now. EVERY FUCKING BODY"

Epic lulz here.

And also a Bizzy BOne freestyle. I'm pretty sure its a real freestyle, but it might not be. Look at how into this shit he is, reminds me of Guy Picciotto sans the delectable dancing.
