the cost - chimera

I hate the term post-hardcore, so I'm not going to describe this.

Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina - Elis & Tom

Brazilian bossa nova. Came out in '74. Upped for contrast.

( By the way, the songs are untitled so there isn't a mistake in the tracklisting. And seriously, read that review. It puts pitchfork to shame.)

undertow - everything

Because I'm very very into diversity, here's more John Pettibone fronted Seattle hardcore. 28 songs of Seattle straight edge's finest. I'm not going to write more.

The next thing I put up won't be hardcore. I promise.

nineironspitfire - seventh soul sacrificed

I really don't want to put albums on here you can get get everywhere else or there'd be like 7 posts a day in stead of 7 posts, well, ever. Have I got a treat for you though! This shit isn't even on oink. It has under 1000 plays on last.fm and no one has written an artist description, and because music is an obscurity contest, this HAS to be good.

It's intense noise rock influenced Seattle hardcore on the slower side that's about as un-Boston/broxcore as you can get. No basketball shorts, varsity fonts, or brass knuckles here! They're somewhat of a supergroup with the singer of Himsa/Undertow, the bassist from The Blood Brothers (r.i.p? rumor has it.) the guitarist from These Arms Are Snakes, and the guitarist from Kiss it Goodbye/Undertow/Playing Enemy.

Also, it has what, to the best of my knowledge, is the longest hardcore song ever recorded, clocking in at 31:09. (If you know of a longer one, let me know.)

The only place I found to buy it was Indecision Records.

Writing until this thing uploads is such a bitch. Next one's gonna be 5 words.

Black Velvet Flag - Come Recline

I can count the number of things I like unironically on one hand, and this combines two of my favorites: punk rock, for the 'fuck you' factor, and lounge music, because it reminds me of a time where men wore suits and everyone smoked inside and women stayed home and cars weren't ugly pieces of shit. Basically these are the two 'coolest' genres of music for white people because they encourage you to sit around the be smug.

Basically it's a bunch of older punks (I believe. I couldn't dig up anything on this band or album. This is coming from last.fm) covering west cost hardcore classics. Think Nouvelle Vague but with punk rock instead of new wave and about ten years earlier. I was surprised how pretty the album is. I first heard this band (two songs or so) about 5 years on KaZaA (remember that shit? goooood times.) during a search for Black Flag songs. For no reason I can think of, I remembered them tonight and felt compelled to share them with you.

It is a cover album, so being familiar with the songs helps, but it isn't that essential. "I Shot JFK" and TSOL's "Code Blue" are my favorite songs from the album. If you've never heard the original "Code Blue" listen to it first.

Overall it's good. The album is too short and feels slightly incomplete, but other than that, 8/10.

So I was walking down the street in Miami 20 years ago in my white pants and peach colored Lacoste polo with a popped collar after doing a lot of blow and there was a yacht in the background and someone wrote the soundtrack.

10/10

omg omg omg omg

Against Me! - New Wave leaked and it is my pleasure to share it with you.

Against Me is a band I got into about five years ago and is one of the only bands, except maybe Jawbreaker, that has remained one of my favorite bands for this whole period so naturally I almost pissed myself in joy when I saw that this leaked today before it set in that it is probably going to suck.

"New Wave" is their first major label release and was produced by Butch Vig.

The cover is pretty sweet. I'm a big fan of wild cats as incentives to buy things. It's like a monkey but with novelty replaced with badassery. Ratatat's "Classics" was good. I also like how the "!" looks like a ":" leading you to know that Against Me! made this and it is called "New Wave" insead of looking like a mess of againstmenewwave.

The music is a continutation of where they were going with "Searching for a Former Clarity," which means there is absolutely no folk to be found and a lack of sing-a-longs. The folk is what I miss most and I understand that they might want to RAWK or something but doing that all the time is selfish. The lack of sing-a-longs may be explained by the fact that I don't know any of the words, but I also wasn't feeling any of the songs as potential future sing-a-longs.

Also there are no piano, acoustic, or horn parts. The whole album is straight power punk or whatver the proper nomenclature is. It could be one long song if you weren't paying attention.

The tracks that stand out most are "Stop," "Borne on the FM Waves," and "Ocean." Stop sorta reminds me of Aretha Franklin or Franz Ferdinand. "Borne on the FM Waves" has a girl sing on it and it's pretty good. I'm not sure who it is or I'd go oh, it's the girl from ______. "Ocean" reminds me of waves crashing on the shore and is probably the best song on the album. The first couple seconds sound like Tiger Army. Also there's this sweet part where he says "soul" and it echos for a long time. I like this one a lot.

Overall I'd give it a 10/10 for being Against Me! then subtract one each for having no folkish parts, no sing-a-longs, no horn/acoustic/piano parts, and another one for sorta sucking, giving it a 6/10 overall.
