Summer Hiatus

Well friends I appreciate all feedback and interaction that takes place on this blog it's a true pleasure and I regret to inform everyone that I'm just too busy enjoying the mountains beaches friends and family this summer to post so I'll be taking a break until September. Ive got some really good stuff lined up including an exclusive mix by Paul Pheonix, Wilco AM demos, Cro-Mags 1986 Demo, The Replacements last live show, more D.Mekka Jamz, and lots more. Now go enjoy the sun.

Essential MP3 - Mineral - Slower

Representing the heyday of mid-90's Crank! records, Mineral cause a buzz at the time and often were likened to other 90's indie pioneers as Promise Ring and Sunny Day Real Estate. Originally from Houston, the band relocated to Austin for the 6 day recording of The Power of Failure, released January 1997.This song is powerful one. It used to be one of those songs that got stuck on repeat and I still find lasting value within it.

Essential Mini Mix - DK - Blockhead Mini Mix

In honor of Blockhead's triumphant new throwback album Interludes After Midnight Solid Steel's DK has set up a powerful minimix that showcases the blendability, gritty city beats, and of the course the piano that highlight one of my favorite albums of the year.

Essential MP3 - Mount Kimbie - Before I Move Off

When I first heard London's duo Mount Kimbie I truly thought that they might liberate the trenches of dubstep or nustep from brostep. Its like a 12 step elimination program. I don't really like dubstep, especially the shit you hear out here on the canadian coast. Shows upon shows of offbeat angry saw bass. I've always been a drum and bass warrior in my heart.

Needless to say I do enjoy some that fall under the dubstep moniker. Mount Kimbie, Jamie XX, Koreless, and Ramanadaman grace that list. Here's a standout track from 2010's magical album Crooks and Lovers.

UPDATE - Every Song A Revolution - The Hated Compilation - 2011

UPDATE 11.2012 - I've gathered the correct album art for the compilation. It's just a chopped up cover of a old early 20th century pulp novel. Also corrected the track numbers and order. I've noticed a fair bit of activity around this lately which prompted me to take a course of proper action. I also removed the blogged and quartered link as its all shut down.

The Hated's music has hit me deep. This stuff is truly amazing. I had always heard about them often brought up in conversations with Moss Icon, as they two bands were both from Annopolis, they practiced together, partied together, and played shows together. A few years ago Blogged and Quartered put up a three part The Hated Discography. There is so much amazing music lost in space here. So i put together the best starting point ever. This is the definitive The Hated Collection for people who need a good set off point. Grab the .zip below the tracklist. Oh yeah, and be sure to check out some of the old flyers I found scouring the web, especially the one with Fugazi and Shudder to Think. What a good show that would have been.
