i know i don't post much music like this, & not very many people download my posts that aren't some obscure album from some imaginary country, but fuck that. this album has been out of print for a while now, which is a shame. scrappy punk featuring cindy crabb from doris zine, & the greatest living american author on drums, aaron cometbus. this reminds me a lot of the criminals & aaron's other band from this time period, cleveland bound death sentence, which is an amazing thing. fast short songs with alternating female/male vocals. & how do you go wrong with anything that cometbus has touched? seriously, do yrself a favor & pick up the latest cometbus zine, a bestiary of booksellers. his writing just continues to get better & better. the weather is warming up, & this has been the soundtrack to my days lately. don't sleep on this.
as one of the people who mostly only downloads weirdo obscure stuff from imaginary countries, i gotta say everything you post is appreciated. good music blogs are harder and harder to come by these days (likewise, so is enough free time to appreciate new music!!!!!).
ReplyDeleteI really dig your blog. I usually stop by to find some new tunes to relax to. I really like that Cybotron from awhile back even if I still prefer the Detroit Cybotron. I'm little surprised to see this one on here, but I suppose that's a testament to your good taste. This has always been my favorite Cometbus band (outside of Crimpshrine) though they're often overlooked in his catalog. They do sound quite a bit like CBDS but tighter and rougher, which I appreciate. Anyway, you do a good job over here. Thanks.

ReplyDeletethank you both for the very kind words, they are dearly appreciated. i did a remix of the detroit cybotron for one of the age of the shrug mixes i did a while back. & for cometbus, he deserves to be a household name at this point. i love astrid oto almost as much as i love sweet baby jesus, but really anything he has done has been fucking great, including pinhead gunpowder, although don't care much for billie joe, but whatever. thanks for stopping by & for commenting! :)
