Presage - Venerated CS Haven't seen the Presage tape mentioned a whole lot but I agree it is most excellent. Quite the follow-up to Hair Diaries. Presage is so solid, takes his time to put out each tape, but you always know it's going to be quality. More highs and mids with less low end than Hair D...

Jealous of all of you assholes that are going to be in Japan next week. Wanted to go so bad but it wasn't in the stars. Lifetime opportunity. Everyone better share a shit ton of pictures, stories, and video from the event.

Speaking of cut-up... this new Viodre and A Fail Association collab tape is pretty pretty good...

I love how side B is so vocal-heavy... completely unexpected and done so well.

A new batch just dropped this week. A very high-quality set of tapes where I think almost everything is mandatory. Richard released collaborative tapes with Slacking, Moonbeam Terror, and a new release each of Opera Garment and Meat Shop. There are a couple of select tapes from Meat Shop that rank a...

New BLJ on Chondritic Sound: https://chondriticsound.bandcamp.com/album/top-on-trial And a new split between Richard and Scott Houston's Respirator: https://richardramirez.bandcamp.com/album/split-7 Very exciting day. The first release from Scott Houston's Respirator since 2012 I believe. A very nua...

The discography is so massive and I've heard so little of it, but the Sexencyclopedia boxset is one of the most consistent and perfect releases I've ever heard from anyone. The split with Endo from 2016, Yomishura, cannot be fucked with either. I'll need to pull the Biometrics release with Macro off...

Sewer Election - Psychic Panorama (Discreet Music) Music this morning; great pacing & great synth work at play here. I remember first hearing this & wondering “has Sewer Election done it all?” Now that Dan just launched a bandcamp at the time of typing this, I may find out the answer to thi...

Going into 2024 and going to finally dive into Cormac McCarthy. Decided to start from the beginning with the Orchard Keeper, then Outer Dark, and Child of God and selectively work through the rest. Really excited to dig into it all. I read Child of God recently and loved it. Perfect little book. I'...

Just bought this, as well. And the Haters' digital version of the original, which is on GX's bandcamp for $3 or $4 or something. If you get a chance and do a comparison between the two versions, let me know what you think and if you notice a big change from the original to the reissue. On the 2023 ...

I just pulled the trigger on this one after reading your review!!! Thank you!!! Nice, I hope you like it! I think it's a great album and it's always a nice treat when Wiese and Merzbow team up. Like I mentioned, I don't keep up with a lot of Merzbow's material anymore but I always check out everyth...

I’d definitely seek out These Things Happen Volumes 1 & 2 CDs everything about this collection is superb, if someone needed a jumping off point for the recorded The Haters experience these two volumes would be great place to start. I've had similar experiences as everyone else where the recorde...

I'm wrapping up 2023 having focused my limited attention to only a couple of writers. I thoroughly enjoyed spending hours getting lost in the universe of both John Langan and Laird Barron. Langan is the more precise and professional writer painting more exquisite one-off stories, but Barron painted ...

I really want that FOAD LP as well. I think the material is going to be top-notch from the teaser I heard and I have the c10 they released on Blast Addict from the same session which is really solid. John said it was all unique material and no crossover from that tape. It's just a little expensive a...

C.C.C.C. - Community Center Cyber Crash / Live In Pittsburgh CD (Helicopter/Troniks) First time this has been reissued since it was first released on LP in 1993. A 35-minute live set at the Wilkins School Community Center on October 11th, 1992 in Pittsburgh, PA on C.C.C.C.'s first-ever tour of the ...

Sissy Spacek - Cosm CD (Helicopter) Cosm finds Sissy Spacek teaming up with the one and only Masahiko Ohno (Solmania). The line-up is the core duo of Charlie Mumma on drums, John Wiese on bass and organ(!), and Masahiko Ohno of course on guitar. This is one of the free improvisation-based versions ...

Macronympha – Mugwump Reformer c62 (MSNP) This tape is apparently reworked and remixed material from the Pittsburgh, PA release by Rodger. This originally came out in 2008 I believe, and this tape is VERY different from the original Pittsburgh, PA LP, CD, or tape. If I had done a blindfolded test, ...

Unit-M - Self-titled c60 (MSNP) Just picked up a reissue of this classic collaboration from Joe Roemer and Joe Colley from 1994. Right off the bat, there is a mix of metal clang and reverberating metal overtones. A good split in the stereo mix of who is doing what. Heavily saturated MSNP sound is v...

Did anyone pick up the 3-CD "Whorechestra" reissue? The original unreleased version of the tape is really interesting to compare next to what was actually released. Obviously, it still sounds like the "Whorechestra" that we know, but it feels like it's a more patient album. Greg...

I recently picked up a couple of the 2009-2010 Macro "unreleased" tapes that Rodger put out specifically related to the early 1990-92 material. I grabbed Futurismo and 1990-91 Vol. 2. There have been a lot of reworkings or unreleased versions of the material from around this time. The ment...

Much appreciated! I can't wait to check it out.

Caspar Sonnet is a somewhat newer name, at least to me. He's been around a few years and some material is more in line with free improvisation and closer to something like Derek Bailey while other material is more noise-based. His instrument of choice is actually the lap steel guitar which is a lit...

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania LP (Praxis Dr Bearmann, 1995) Like so many have said, perhaps not their best per se, but just a perfect album, with a proper Album feel to it. And the easily digestible length, 41 minutes, is another factor. At least to me. I've read now and then how the CD reissue on Trash ...

This is what he wrote on the Special Interests board back in 2012: Should mention that a multiple CD box set of the early Macronympha tape releases has been in the works for quite some time and should hopefully see the light of day this year? Set will include the best of all the early tapes as well ...

Very late to the game with this band, but recently been enjoying Yacøpsæ. A name I've seen a million and one times and never dug into for one reason or another. Dating back to the early 90's and even having material on Slap-a-Ham. Massive discography and some incredible material. Any recommended fav...
