Randy Holden - Guitar God: http://sharebee.com/c68ea59b NOTE: Pay no mind to the fact that the selections begin on track #7-- this was added as a bonus on the Aussie boot of "Population II" that I have.
'Ts better to ride down that road then fall down the damn stairs...
Cheers and beers, stil owe you for hooking me up with that ORdER shit way back when (which I actually got round to buying, in the end). Yours always had the best name, dude...
Well, much as I would like to see ya stick around, I can understand and appreciate the ennui. Hopefully you'll pop by the cider farm from time to time. To Quote Slobbo's fave scandinavian band: "Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing" (sniff) :-(
man, what a downer...I just stumbled across this site less than a week ago and have been staying up WAY too late at night reading through all of the past posts...this is/was some of the best writing on the avant/freako loud underground that I've found on the web and I was all looking forward to reading your continued observations on all of the rad obscure shit that you were putting up. This was fkkn great while it lasted though, man... hope your writing makes an appearance somewhere else soon ... - adam / crucial blast
As in Crucial Blast, the label? Fuck me, I love so much of the stuff y'all have put out-- particularly the mind-melting Burmese/Fistula split which ruled so hard. Thanks for the compliment. Dunno what I'm gonna do as far as scribing goes, but I can't think of a website or rag at the moment I'd like to have my name associated with-- unless they were paying me about $10/word.
so there it is... what to do? well, much people leave this behind bitter and tired, so its good idea to go on top. luck on everything and call if you start something else.
keeeeeep on rocking !
and add my band on myspace, man. dont think i forgot you promised to hear us and say if u suck or not.
I think this is the best (perhaps the only?) full album download blog I've found that put in the effort to provide both consistently great, varied music AND informative/entertaining original writing about it, on a regular basis. Never been driven to comment before, but just to let you know: it was appreciated.
Best of luck with whatever you get up to in future...
well, what can i say? being in similar shoes myself right now and considering much the same, i can't say i blame ya... thanks once again for all the excellence you've graced our ears with. if yer inclined ta keep in touch, i think my e-mail will show up with the comment when ya log into yer dashboard or whatever. cheers dude!
Julio: Your band definitely doesn't suck-- well mebbe in the best way. Thought I'd mentioned that somewhere. Sorry 'bout that. Keep on with yer most glorious racket.
Kev: Got your email in my address book. Definitely will be happy to talk thee rock with ya in the future. Keep yours going... somebody hasta suffer (haha).
Aesop: Will do. Your blog definitely inspired some get up 'n' go the last little while. Good to see yer getting away with the divergent styles-- I never really could get away with black metal around here for whatever reason.
Ben & Steiner: I have no idea who you guys are but... Thanks!
Jake, I have to say that hearing the death of Carlin kind of blew me away. Now hearing this sadens me deeply. I'm not going to go on with some gooshy, girlly, line of "ohhhhhhhhhhhh no please doooooooon't" .... You have to do what you have to do I suppose, although your reconsideration would be much appreciated, not only by myself.... but reading the "love" up top.. I can tell everyone else would find fancy to your change of mind!!!
I have to say, I have enjoyed EVERYONE of your posts, it kinda felt nice to be able to share a central knowledge on real metal....GOOD AND BAD!... I wish you well my friend... KEEP ROCKING.... and I really think you should reconsider!!!
Outside of the fact that they were not only educational and rockin, fun to read... But believe this or not... you DID inspire me to keep writing.. and more frequently...
On behalf of everyone *** thank you for sparing you time...and "spending loud nights"*** THANKS JAKE!!!!
Shit, Dave-- not sure I'm worthy of such accolades. A big manly hug for you.
L-RV: Hey, I'm always happy to listen to your "bullshit." You've provided some info I didn't have a damn clue about.
Sandy: I almost never say no to a lovely lady, but I will for once. This is something that's been brewing for months. Something ain't worth doing unless ya give it yer full attention. Keep writing! The fact that you say I inspired you to do so is the absolute highest compliment I could ever receive. I am humbled.
Kevinass: When I said "retirement," I didn't mean from blogging-- I meant life. That's something I'll eventually sell on Ebay, not post.
Always great music- bands I've never heard or obscure shit from the greats; I'm gonna miss the writing the most. You've been funnier and more accurate than the vast majority of music writers and it's clearly from pure passion about the subjects.
Jen: I will disappear into the realm of excessive listening to Cianide, Whitehouse, Gov't Alpha and Intestine Baalism with volatile cocktail in hand. I just saw the remark you made about heading up this way-- still on or did I miss you? I'm not always as observant as I should be in this rapidly advancing state of decrepitude.
This may have just MADE my weekend actually, I am stoked, and gives me more time to pick your brain to add into my personal mental encyclopedia!!!!... Nice see a SLIGHT change of heart my friend!!!.... I will be checking in on you, JUST to make sure your face is still on the map....where IT BELONGS!!!!!
ROCK ON BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i will likely be flying to toronto either this summer or in the fall. i presume you still have the same email address? if not you can send me your updated one through boogastreehouseclub which i never update. sigh. but yeah, i have no idea where you are up there but if you are in the vicinity of toronto or vancouver, let me know!
Aw c'mon: ya KNOW ya can't live entirely comfortably without inflicting yer sickness upon others. At least that's what I've come to realize. It sucks because it'd be so nice to be able to disappear forever-- but I can never bring myself to commit to it. Mebbe next time if three's a charm.
funny thing is it's been pretty damn comfortable for me so far. mind you, some new things have crept into my life that are taking most of the attention that used to go to the blog, which might be why I haven't been missing it too much... so far, at least. guess time will tell...
Haha... you are truly one of my most fervent supporters, and I thank thee from the bottom of my hateful little heart. But, to answer your question, should be back in a week, give or take a few days.
AWESOME!... can't wait!!! see you soon my friend!!! Doing a STONER ROCK dish these last couple days... this wordpress thing is definetly OVER RATED.... althoug I really never get enough of chatting it up about my love of music!

Thank ya, boys. Don't worry, I finally will have the time to haunt other peoples' blogs and leave annoying diatribes about nothing in particular.
