ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER - RUSSIAN MIND


Nasty digital sinus infection goin on here. The press release had a lot of intelligent stuff to say from synth zoner Daniel Lopatin as well as director Nate Boyce, but I can't get away from the feeling that it all looks like a Windows 95 screensaver or Doom.. in a good way. Youtube access is now down, but you can watch the high-quality version HERE.

Don't forget - the sub-zero OPN trilogy Rifts is now available from No Fun Productions.

TERRORS


Nice little dream piece from Terrors up over at the Bathetic blog. Stuff up at Myspace varies a bit, but I suggest grabbin the tape. Sounds promising.





Terrors - Soft Proliferating Light



Bathetic has a few more rad releases coming up including another Pink Priest tape, a split between Dead Luke and Stacian and a Heavy Hawaii/Wild Safari split.

ICE CREAM PAINT JOB


This evening marks the first in a series of Monday night time slots for me on the radio. I'll be airing every Monday from 6:30-8PM EST on WMUA all by my lonesome hosting ICE CREAM PAINT JOB as DJ BEER WITH DINNER. If you're around the Pioneer Valley you can tune in on 91.1FM. If you have a computer you can stream from wmua.org.

Since I've been away from radio for a couple weeks I have a bunch of new music piled up, but instead of trying to tackle that I'm going to make tonite's set more of a droner for all yall with heads packed fulla cotton and throats crammed with Sudafed. Journey to another dimension where cough syrup streams ooze over Benadryl pebble riverbeds and songbirds chirp auto-tuned bangers when dawn breaks.

P.S. This means ya can be treated to some quality radio alllll Monday long by tuning in to Weekly Tape Deck's show on Indie-Verse at 2PM EST then a few hours later you can catch me. Damn, babies - if you have a nice lil radio-charm on Mondays lemme know so I can add it to the radio-bracelet-chain.

SLUMTOWN SYMFUNNY


Turquoise Cats sent over this 20+ minute piece of mix yesterday. Turquoise Cats is from Baltimore and is buds with Run DMT and LEXX and is down with Dem Hunger (and the Dem Hunger Remix of that Run DMT track).

The 'release' is out now on New Baltimore Records. By 'release' I mean it's all available as Mediafire download in addition to a physical copy which is composed of "a broken jewel case with shit from off of my floor as the back cover, a cd-r with nothing written on it, a single match in a matchbook, and one newport." Get at the Cats for your copy.

The mix comes on all dusty and dope, some real fur coat African cinema shit, all big jewel necklaces and twelve-inch cigarette holders - and the bellhop strikes yer match for you. First Maghrebi space program shit. The cuts used are "all vinyl except one african highllife song." Process-wise, shit was "all done live on one take. no ovadubs. no stems. no seeds. no sticks. only dust." Don't ask what went into the mix however, since



"me tracklist be hiddn up in ma fortress on some swiss family
robinson held captive by pirates shit."




Sometimes it's better to know not where you are, to know not what ingredients make up the secret spice blend.
