Stanisław Kusiak 2008-06-12 10:36:44 Hi there people. I found some interesting photography, some very cool, nice looking black and white pics from a dude named Stanisław Kusiak. I would love to tell you lots of stuff about him. What his philosophy is, why the hell he is doing whatever he is doing, but my Polish isn’t very good. To be honest it is like Chinees for me, or Egyptian hieroglyphs.I think he is born in 1970, on the 16th
Harvey Milk 2008-06-15 08:05:01 An anomaly among the college/indie rock-centered Athens, GA, scene from which they emerged, cult favorite Harvey
Milk was responsible for some of the slowest, heaviest, and most uncompromising rock music created in the latter half of the '90s. The trio formed in the early '90s with a lineup of Creston Spiers (guitar/vocals), Stephen Tanner (bass), and Paul Trudeau (drums). They released their firs
Sigmar Polke 2008-06-17 10:06:38 Polke was born in Oels in Lower Silesia. He fled with his family to Thuringia in 1945 during the Expulsion of Germans after World War II. His family escaped from the Communist regime in East Germany in 1953, traveling first to West Berlin and then to Düsseldorf.Upon his arrival in West Germany, in Wittich, Polke began to spend time in galleries and museums and worked as an apprentice in a stained
Under Brooklyn Palms 2008-06-17 07:31:39 Amon Düül II, fans, the line starts here!It's one thing for a band to claim that "they follow their own path"; it's another thing entirely for this claim to be 100% true. Formed in '02, Deutschland's UNDER BROOKLYN PALMS are really onto something with their psychedelic-fried stoner rock served on a platter of southern blues. Unlike countless other bands that have reached our doorstep who have do Read more:Brooklyn
Erkin Koray 2008-06-24 07:00:01 Erkin Koray (born June 24, 1941), has been in the Turkish rock music scene since the late 1950s or early 1960s. He is widely acclaimed as being the first person to ever play rock and roll in Turkey; in 1957, he and his band gained notoriety by playing covers of Elvis Presley and Fats Domino. He was also one of the first Turkish musicians to embrace the electric guitar and modern amplification.By t
SubArachnoid Space & Bardo Pond 2008-06-24 07:00:01 Two dreadnaughts of the higher-key improvised rock scene deliver side-long wormholes through consciousness, hurtling into territories only rarely visited by rock musicians. Visions of antiquity are hurled through hyperspace gateways as these cosmonaut collectives compete over who can damage the most neurotransmitters - theirs and yours. SubArachnoid Space
contributes side A. "Tigris" springs from
Jack Kerouac 2008-06-21 07:39:01 I discovered jazz and Jack Kerouac at roughly the same time in my teens back in the early 1970s, when his seminal novel On The Road (Viking, 1957) hooked me into the bohemian world of jazz clubs, intense friendships and the never ending highway under wide open skies described in its pages.It barely mattered that the quick fluid prose in which this hedonistic manifesto was rolled up in didn't alway
Michael Bowen 2008-06-21 07:19:01 Through vision, charisma, and focus, artist that are not on everone's lips take their place in art history by virtue of the huge mark they leave on culture. This can be said of artist Michael
Bowen.Bowen, who lives and works in Hawaii, was himself a pollinator for two significant artistic eras - the Beat '50s and the related Haight-Ashbury '60s. He can speak first-hand about love-ins, peace-ins, e
AC/DC 2008-06-19 09:51:59 Let There Be Rock is the fourth studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released in March 1977. All songs were written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott.It was originally released on Albert Productions. A modified international edition was released on Atlantic Records in June 1977.Let There Be Rock increased AC/DC's popularity to new heights. The group traded in its thick sound
Graves at Sea 2008-07-08 07:28:00 The guitar tone on Documents Of Grief make me think of entire cities being assailed by huge, roiling avalanches of poo. The tone is massive, all-encompassing and turgid… aural frequency assault as interpreted by Orange amplification.
20 Buck Spin Records is re-issuing this excellent 2003 debut by Arizona’s desert doom dregs, Graves
At Sea. It was originally a self-released effort and quickly
Stephen Kasner 2008-07-08 07:00:02 Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio against a backdrop of gray, undulating skies, frozen winters and a tapestried shadow of Lake Erie, Stephen
Kasner’s paintings, drawings and photographs reflect visions of a pre/post-apocalyptic industrial landscape and the struggle for survival contained in dreams of enlightenment. Currently residing in California, Kasner’s paintings continue to expand upon t
Cult of Luna 2008-07-07 12:11:16 Cult of Luna's fourth album Somewhere Along the Highway was miraculously recorded in merely seven days. Given their amazing back catalog and how their previous effort Salvation was considered their peak, this is certainly interesting. How can you follow up such a masterpiece with an album recorded so quickly? Well, Cult of Luna have once again achieved it. Though too early to form a final opinion
Datura 2008-07-05 07:00:01 From New Zealand, Datura play fairly standard stoner rock. But read on as there are some special moments on this disc. Visions For The Celestial is their second CD. It was originally released in 1999 on Cranium and has now been reissued in the U.S. by Brainticket. The band consists of Craig Williamson on vocals, bass, and percussion, Brent Middlemiss on lead and rhythm guitars, and Jon Burnside
Russian Circles 2008-07-02 09:52:23 Have you ever had a certain feeling about an album, it comes out of nowhere and attacks all of your senses and emotions and makes you get that small chill on your spine that allows you to remember the joy of discovering new music. With the Internet, blogs, chatrooms and all of that music is usually served up to you, you rarely find it by accident. I was lucky enough to have that happened to me a Read more:Russian
Chris Voelker 2008-07-02 07:00:01 Christopher Voelker is likely the most recognized photographer with a disability. He has a great career highlighted by an incredible body of work.
Voelker has a way with the camera that transforms a still photo into a portrait with a voice. With an eye for inventive visual aspects, his creative work is reaching a new level of recognition in Hollywood and internationally. His eye magically Read more:Chris
The Black Angels 2008-06-30 09:50:50 Darkness is key. Every writer who attempts to wrap their head around the BlackAngels
mentions the music's eerie darkness, but most fail to realize that this goes to the very core of what the band is about. The band's gothic quality is often haunting, sometimes apocalyptic, and always the factor that sets the Black Angels apart from other psychedelic bands. Most reviews reference Heart of
Ancestors 2008-06-30 07:52:01 <!-- the drop cap -->
LA five-piece Ancestors may have pitched their tent in the ‘doom-metal’ camp, but you’d do well to re-evaluate any pre-existing notions of exactly what this stands for. Those expecting gruff, shouted vocals and rampant, chugging guitars are in for a pleasant surprise.
Whilst these elements are present, they have been melded with the psychedelic and progressive m
Retribution Gospel Choir 2008-07-22 07:03:37 Who knew it would be such a pleasure to hear Alan Sparhawk-- master of minimalist pop-- rock out with his cock out? Sure, the last two Low albums had downright loud moments, and there's that bluesy side project the Black Eyed Snakes that Sparhawk had a few years back. But on the Retribution GospelChoir
album, the dude channels his inner Crazy Horse with dark dirge-y anthems. He even curses and
Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. 2008-07-22 07:03:35 A storm of feedback. Squeals of saxophones that make Sun Ra proud in space. Racket that cracks like earthquakes. One clusterfuck of a beautiful mess. The ringing tones that break the bones. Bending notes to the death of the bourgeoisie. Walloping waves of reverb. Fuzz factories are formed. Whammy bars strain vibrato on struggling strings. Swift doesn't begin to describe the note intake. Read more:Mothers

John Dyer Baizley 2008-07-19 07:00:03 John Dyer Baizley, guitarist and vocalist of Post-Metal-Stoner-Rock band, Baroness is an artist based out of Savannah, Georgia. You may recognize some of his work in your cd collection or the new album cover for sludge band Deadbird's as his most recent outing.

John Baizley: I'm from Lexington, Virginia. I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains...
Deadbird 2008-07-19 07:00:03 The South has risen again. Okay, that's probably inappropriate, but fuck, there's some killer sludge coming out of the southern US right now. I've been listening to Deadbird's Twilight Ritual every day for roughly a week and can't wait to see the lads perform the music live.
Twilight Ritual is less swampy than The Head and the Heart, i.e., the production is sharper and brighter. Thankfully, the
Sorry For the Lack of Posts 2008-07-15 13:11:02 Sorry for the lack off posts people. But i’m busy with some unfinished business round the house. My girlfriend is moving in, and i a few weeks i got a well earned holiday. So don’t worry, i’m not quitting the blog. I’m just going slow, very slow. I’ll try to post once or twice a week for the next couple of weeks.
Until then you have to do it with the stuff you’ll find here. But when

Upon their resurrection their identities were revealed as: Oren Ambarchi, Greg Anderson and Attila Csihar.

Fela Kuti & Roy Ayers 2008-07-14 07:09:00 This two-on-one-disc CD reissue brings together a couple of the more unusual offerings in Fela's discography. Upside Down, released in 1976, is the usual two-song, half-hour deal, the songs beginning with several minutes of instrumental solo trades before the socially conscious lyrics enter.
The song Upside Down itself, however, is sung not by Fela but by Sandra Akanke Isidore. She was a woman
Witchfinder General 2008-08-08 02:30:56 In their time, Witchfinder General
was considered one of the less-important bands to emerge from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, but they have become a popular early influence among bands in the doom metal scene. Formed in 1980 by Zeeb Parkes (vocals), Phil Cope (guitars), Woolfy Trope (bass), and Graham Ditchfield (drums), the band was heavily influenced by Black Sabbath and
Skip James 2008-08-07 05:57:41 Among the earliest and most influential Delta bluesmen to record, Skip James
was the best known proponent of the so-called Bentonia school of blues players, a genre strain invested with as much fanciful scholarly "research" as any. Coupling an oddball guitar tuning set against eerie, falsetto vocals, James's early recordings could make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Even mor
Runhild Gammelsæter 2008-08-06 04:15:12 With a track record collaborating with the likes of Sunn O))), Thorr’s Hammer, and other dark luminaries, the sound of this disc is not at all unexpected. However, while her collaborations strayed more towards the metal end of things, this first (and entirely solo) disc is decidedly more eclectic, and for that reason perhaps more frightening than any of her other appearances.
The disc is front
Brian Koschak 2008-08-05 06:29:51 Today some art work by a guy named Brian
Koschak. He recently has done the art work for the awesome new album ‘Tales’ by Salt Lake City's IOTA. And he has done a very fine job on this one, and i hope their will be more bands in future who let this guy do there art work... I have to thank Blend 77 from Zen for waking me up on this guy (peace bro, always good to learn about new artists.)

Wooden Shjips 2008-08-04 10:47:50 The Wooden
Shjips' earliest material was released on vinyl, pressed in small quantities that were either free or hard to come by and are now hopelessly out of print. Who are we to keep you away from the rush of "Shrinking Moon for You"? Vol. 1 collects all the tracks from the free 10-inch, the Dance, California 7-inch, and the SOL 7-inch. The band will be out playing live, in their own n
Capricorns 2008-08-03 12:45:51 This is something i was waiting for for a few months now and the guys @ Lucidmedia helped me to start this Sunday very good. Thanks for this! First ofcourse a review from ‘The Quietus’.
It’s not often you get to describe stoner rock as “urgent”, but the new epic from UK sludge stalwarts Capricorns canters along at an enjoyably paranoid pace, one eye on the approaching cosmic storm. Co
