Assück and in particular their second LP „Misery Index“. Sheer straight forward brutality. Been a big fan of the record when it came out in 1997 and still think it doesn‘t need any of the countless bands of that genre appearing afterwards.

i made an update on the beer and poker sites. Beside that not much worth writing about. I need new shoes, Alden prefered, but that problem i‘ll be able to solve myself.
Within the last 2 or 3 days i have this song by The Gossip on heavy rotation, it’s called Heavy Cross. Curious? It’s on their myspace-site and youtube has several entries on it as well. By the way, i think the rest of the record is pretty lame. Kala by M.I.A. is a recording i frequently listened to as well. So cheesy and kinda embarrasing (lyrics), but some of the songs really make me shake my old butt. Mango Pickle and Jimmy are my favez.
Enough. Vuelta is still on and this guy Mosquera really impresses me. No surprises. Basso and Evans won‘t win – who could have guessed.
Hope, Federer will take it down tonight.
The Battle Of Old Crow is out for i think 3 days now and we already sold all the limited versions with patch and in the process most of the Ride Satan Ride we had left as well. So, the response is great, even overwhelming and the best thing is Serpent Throne will hit the studio again in autumn!
The Tour De France is on for almost 2 weeks now and to be honest i‘m still not really into it yet. Perhaps i‘m just a little jaded. Watched pretty much any of the classics and tours this year. But i‘m kinda getting into the groove (now). Cannonball Cavendish and his team are just amazing and i enjoy any final he reels in another victory. I‘ve never been and will never be a fan of a certain rider. I love cycling and the prestige races in particular.
Despite Menchovs parforce run (which one can even better evaluate after his performance during the first stages of the Grande Boucle) the giro was rather boring. Di Luca was fighting so hard to get Menchov in trouble, but overall it was a rather lame tour.
Armstrongs return and all the talk about it is so pathetic and just makes me yawn. The Pyrenees stages were a big disappointment, especially the one to Tarbes Pellizotti almost took down. With the Tourmalet 60km to the finish and only downhill from there it killed all the action. I hope for the alps and despite Astanas domination there‘re quite a few riders who can still stir up the GC.
Fave 3 recordings of June/July:
1. PIG DESTROYER – Phantom Limb
2. BONGZILLA – Gateway
3. PEACHES – I Feel Cream
The first two you‘d probably find in any top 10 of mine over the last 2 years. The songwriting for Phantom Limb is incredibly well done, every hook is just perfectly timed. There’s a concept behind every song and the recording as a whole. The thick rock relapse-like production/mastering works just fine here too. This aint a recording to listen to on the side. You really need to get yourself into it and listen to it from first to last (bonus song not included) in one go. Nearly perfect piece of music and definitely the peak of their oeuvre. Despite desperately waiting for new material i can hardly imagine how they wanna keep up with the standard of Phantom Limb.
Still feels great it was US who put Bongzillas absolutely amazing Gateway recording out on wax. Even if i might change my taste in music some day i‘ll always say it’s a brilliant record.
The MILLS OF GOD – Call Of The Eastern Moon LP/CD is finally available! We‘re still super thrilled about it and the advertising department already rotating! ModusOperandi Rec.
There‘re the last few copies of the TIDES LP which is sold out now on the picture. And right behind a few bottles of our fave „water“.
Little messy the desk this time.
