Souls of Mischief - 93 Til Infinity [1993]
90s hip-hop
v2

This album got me thinking... what if hip-hop had stayed in the 90s for 10 years while the rest of us went into the 00s, and then emerged again this year and dumped all of its awesome new content on us... My goodness that would be amazing.

90s hip-hop to infinity!

sludge metal, post-metal

Self-proclaimed "metal for astronauts" band Rosetta never fails to deliver. Never. If you're into any kind of heavier music and haven't heard Rosetta by now, you better board this rocket ship before it blasts off! *sheepish grin*

Release on May 25th, preorder now.

Carontte - As Grey As They Said [2010]
hardcore, sludge, post-metal

Sludgy and shouty and... and... Spanish! You will love this. I don't think I've ever heard any other Spanish sludge metal before, but this is definitely the best.

Lusine reminds me a lot of Loscil, especially with this album. It's very relaxing and nice. Soothing ambiance with a few beeps and blips.

Sun Araw - On Patrol [2010]
lo-fi, psych drone
v0

Last.fm calls this "Creepster" music (Creepy+Hipster). That's a pretty rad description for it, actually. Lo-fi tribal drones. I would guess that if you did some sort of mind-altering substance while listening to this it would be quite the experience.

Sorry Friends

I realize I've been very bad about updating this blog - it's been two months now! I'm even getting new readers too, just from my back-catalog of posts.

Because of this, I'll try to make a concerted effort to get this updated a little more often, hopefully at least a few times a week.

I've got a bunch of good music queued up that I've been listened to a lot lately, so sit tight, I'll be throwing new stuff on here soon!
