Can – Horrortrip in the Paperhouse(1994)
For all of you fans of Can, this bootleg is a must listen. Taking material from both Tago Mago and Ege Bemasi, this live performance lives up to its namesake. A very dark turn to many of their seminal tracks. From a slower and methodical jam on “Paperhouse” to a 27 minute jam vortex on […]

Music Out of the Moon – Harry Revel, Les Baxter & Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman (1947)
Hey all, been a while since I lasted posted. Been a crazy few months since starting a new job and kind of lost my writing mojo for a bit. Feeling up to again and noticed something in my music library that was quite exciting. I’m sure something else will come along shortly but in the […]

The Best Music Of 2022 Pt.1
Oh, 2022. This year is continuing a trend of “things couldn’t possibly get even worse right?”. So while I can’t fix buckling institutions and escalation of world conflict between the major powers, I can at least recommend some music that has been helping keep myself sane for the year so far. These aren’t in any particular order as trying to rank these is a fruitless task. These all give me great enjoyment across a variety of genres and emotions. My hope is that anyone looking at this list can come away with at least one project they can connect with, reflect on, or even just shut your brain off to.

Chat Pile/meth./Bummer/Nerver – recordBar – May 29th, 2022
Saw a bunch of great, noisy AF bands (@ChatPileBand, @meth_band, @bummerkc, @NerverKC) on Sunday at @recordBar in KC. Fucking awesome show. Very worth the bruised shin and ear ringing to attend one of my favorite shows in a long time.

Review: Cindy Lee – What’s Tonight to Eternity
What’s Tonight to Eternity is a restless spirit caught in purgatory between 60s girl groups and the grasp of some otherworldly being. This harsh and somber duality is expressed so masterfully and has made me gain a whole new appreciation for all aspects surrounding Women and their split.

Review: RXM Reality – Sick for You
Quite blown away by how beautiful this record is under the wash of flashing sample-gore, noise, and screaming. The melodic and rhythmic elements still shine through all of it. Of course there is a level of chaos and harshness that extends past where previous efforts have gone. While my favorite tracks definitely have the more […]

Review: christtt – A.D.
Vaporwave, at it’s worst, was an internet trend of pitch shifting and applying reverb to some late 80s or 90s music and calling it a day. Why do I say “was”? Vaporwave is dead At least the version that became a meme about aesthetics. That version exploded between 2014 and 2016 off of the earlier […]

Review: The Garden – Kiss My Super Bowl Ring
With their most consistent and hard-hitting album to date, The Garden have quite simply blown me away. Gone is the stripped back production and Casio keyboard SFX packs (well mostly). In it’s stead, Kiss My Super Bowl Ring delivers well polished experimental punk that finds The Garden at their most aggressive and witty yet.
