TANGENTS REQUEST #014

I freak out every November. It's when I evaluate how I've spent my time & I more than usually berate myself for anything short of unexpectedly writing a best seller or finding buried treasure. I vow to spend the next year working towards my goals & fighting all my vices; I'm still drinking too much & still smoking too much & still distracting myself from greater purposes with plans with people I probably won't know in five years. But hey, that's the shit memories are made of, right?

That's what I tell myself, anyway.

SALÃO FLAMINGO

A while back Branches mentioned working on a video for Triple You Tapes' SUUUMMUUUR SAMPLUUUR track "Salão Flamingo." It's finally here in all its military stock footage + psychedelic glory. NSFW if your boss ain't down with anonymous animated babes in heels toting guns.

Dude recently posted this new track "Couscous no Cavalo Branco" to his Bandcamp:

KESTRELS

Here's a purple video of some weird birds and some cute birds by PandaPandaPanda, soundtracked by Neon Pulse's "Kestrels." See, it makes sense because kestrels are falcons.

"Kestrels are most easily distinguished by their typical hunting behaviour which is to hover at a height of around 10–20 metres (33–66 ft) over open country and swoop down on prey, usually small mammals, lizards or large insects." - Wikipedia

EDIT:

Well this video seems to have gone away.

BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE

A couple of my friends just posted this video on Facebook with the comments "Wow!" and "This is absolutely brilliant." I had to watch, so I did, and it's certainly awesome. As of now, I know nothing about Blanche Blanche Blanche or their song "Talk Out Loud," except that the video was directed by Joey Pizza Slice and the song is to appear on SONGS OF BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE, whatever that may be or end up being. A quick Google search turns up am MP3 of the song on OSR Tapes' blog, available below.

ALSO:

For those of you who have been paying attention to what I've been up to, I interviewed tooth ache. recently for Impose Magazine. There, she mentioned the Joey Pizza Slice dude, who produced her song "Skin."

"[he] recorded it and then played it through trash cans for some tinny reverb."

Someone tell me more about this guy.

HEAD ANTHEM

Italian Beach Babes sent over a couple tracks from Hounds of Hate's new three-song 12" Head Anthem. These songs have been kicking around, but these are the cleanest/clearest versions I've heard so discard your old demo versions and re-up with these guys.

The label speaks of the trio's "heavy, low-tech sound," which I honestly can't get enough of. The label also offers some insight from the HoH members themselves, likening their music to "a synthetic weave stuffed in a floppy drive" or "vaseline smeared on a Trax record." Sounds about right.

The record is available for pre-order from IBB and will see an official release November 8.
