UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Hey folks.
Sorry there hasn't been any new stuff for a week. I was out making money.
Anyhow.... It's been brought to my attention by a gentleman in the band VEGAS (yes a gentleman), that the Mediafire is a bit troublesome for folks in many parts of the world to use. So over the last few days I've been trying to find out more about this, and debating on weather or not I should reset my old posts with a couple of different source links. And in the future I'll post everything with a couple of different links. Leave a comment and let me know it seems like a good idea to sort of re-up the older posts. I'm not going to post anything else until I get this sorted out.

TREBLINKA - Discography + a little high fashion.

When I'm off from work and I don't have much to do, I sit around by myself in the dark, listen to music and get wasted all day long. It may sound shallow but honestly, I'm not that bad of a guy. The last couple of days have been pretty blurry, but a lot of fun. I've been meaning to post something but all I've been able to do is be upset with myself for spending all of my money on booze and dope which caused me to not have the money for travel. One of the things that I missed in January was the return of the almighty TREBLINKA. Even though Hellslaughter was not singing and playing guitar I knew the show would've been unreal because my favorite swedish musicians, the evil twins Tyrant and Hellbutcher from NIFELHEIM, filled in for him. Fuck!!! That must have been amazing! I suck for staying home and getting high in my room.
Anyhow I'm posting the double CD discography from TREBLINKA, and I thought I should look around online to find any pictures of the show that might be posted on the web. I looked for a while but everything I found were pictures of the death camp that the band was named after. Right when I was ready to use an old picture that has been seen a thousand times and is the most predictable one to see when your talking about the black metal legend TREBLINKA, I ran into this lil lady you see in the picture above.
Her name is Katie Jane Garside, and not only is she a singer in a wonderfully mediocre pile of shit band, but also a horribly pathetic and predictable artist, a model that mostly poses for out of focus pictures, and a wiz of a seamstress. It seems that she whipped up the wonderful dress she is wearing as part of her "Treblinka Collection". This piece was photographed in a shower too which shows how much of an eye for detail she had about creating the "throw back" look and feel of her new style of clothing which I like to term "extermination camp chic". Note the barbed wire tears, blood and dirt stains, as well as the numbers on the back of the flesh colored fabric. Th dress looks like the nifty little light shades that were made in the swell Polish fashion mecca known as Treblinka back in '43.
How "retro" yet so "fashion forward".

I feel a lot less terrible about myself for staying in my room in the dark, getting wasted, and listening to music right now. At least I'm not pretending to be good at anything, and making nazi couture dresses. Right?
Like I said I'm not that bad of a guy.

"Houston Rocks It"

In 1999 there was an explosion in Hip Hop that changed everything. JAY Z's "Big Pimpin'" single reintroduced the world to the great state of Texas via the brilliant flows of BUN B and PIMP C (Rest In Power). See, although Texas was the home of some of the greatest rap records to ever come out, the music industry wanted to ignore it all together. Texas wasn't even considered an urban "market" at all until some record label asshole realized that the rap scene there didn't die at all, it just went underground. The independent labels, emcees, and D.J.'s just decided to say "fuck the industry" and just do everything themselves, and were slanging mixtapes all across the south. Some of these cats were putting 100,000 mixtapes into the streets, while the major record labels were pushing a bunch of fake shit and throwing up some fucking bricks. Anyhow from "Big Pimpin'" on, the major label dickheads got greedy and started hunting the southwest for the dudes who were selling the most mixtapes. They signed as many motherfuckers as they could and by 2004 ALL of those folks records came out! Honestly man, 2004 to 2005 was fucking nonstop H-Town releases. Every major was trying to get at J-Prince to sell Rap-A-Lot, after just a few years before that, they were telling him the only thing that they ever wanted was the GETO BOYS. Anyhow this dude DJ ELEVEN from New York dropped this mixtape in late 2005 as a bonus disc for the DJ AYRES "Houston For Dummies" mixtape (which is damn good too, except for the fact that he left out the CONVICTS, GANKSTA NIP, the TERRORIST'S, DOPE-E, K-RINO, on a mixtape of Houston legends). Anyhow....
So you should do what I'm gonna, and fire up a joint, spill some liquor out for my dogs that aren't here anymore, then raise my cup to ScrewSton Texas, and listen to this shit.

MISTREATER - "Hell's Fire" LP + Comp Tracks

MISTREATER are just one more example of how fucking amazing Cleveland Ohio is when it comes to music. These four dudes put together a band to "Sound like UFO" but wound up with something far more sinister and heavy. The vocals kind of remind me of if Paul Di'Anno was in a drug induced trance or something. It's pretty haunting stuff, and coupled with NWOBHM style guitar tones this makes you wonder why any one ever invented solid state electronics. The first thing I heard from these dudes was on the CLEVELAND METAL comp. and I thought they were fucking berserk. I hunted for their stuff for a long time until finally my friend Charles from Cleveland got me set with copies of all of their early recorded output. Anyhow here it is for you to check out and head bang to.

Tracks 1-7 come from 1981's "Hell's Fire" LP
Track 8 is the B-side from the "Hell's Fire" 7"
Track 9 is off of the "CLEVELAND METAL" Comp. LP
Track 10 from "Mitch Capka's CLEVELAND'S HEAVY METAL : ETCHED IN STEEL" Comp LP

HUBBLE BUBBLE - "Hubble Bubble" LP

These turds are some of Belgium's finest, and earliest punks. Like CHAIN SAW, The ONION DOLLS, and The KIDS, these dudes came from a time when there was no formula for how to make a punk record. The vocals on each song go from harsh yelling to over the top corny elvis impressions, to snarling growls, to snotty whining nasal howls. The music does quite a bit of changing through out the record too. There are all of the typical STOOGES, and RADIO BIRDMAN, DAMNED, etc. influences but there are also a lot of odd things in there too. It almost sounds like these guys wanted to put 60's R&B, into the music too. There are songs with odd keyboard parts, whistling, gang chant choruses, new wavy buzzing solid state guitar tones. I think they wanted to play something that was just gonna fuck with anybody who listened. This was their first LP released released in 1978. They had a second record called "Faking" and a couple of 45's too but broke up so their drummer could go on to New Wave stardom as PLASTIC BERTRAND. Anyhow if you haven't heard this I suggest you click the link below and get ready to have a new favorite record. Oh yeah, they actually play the same song twice at the end of the album, It's not a mistake.

NORTHERN BRIGHT - "Northern Songs"

I was at a baseball game yesterday afternoon. It was 10 innings and the Giants won in the bottom of the tenth.When I was leaving the game I heard some guy talking about "Japanese Efficiency". Initially I was like "Fuck I hate understanding English right now, but then I thought about it and this guy maybe right. You see the Japanese can take anything and study it, master it, duplicate it, upgrade it, and eventually revolutionize it. Think about it. The shipping trade routes of the pacific ocean, cuisine, the automotive industry, baseball, cartoons, jumping in the air and kicking stuff, and NORTHERN BRIGHT are all perfect examples of the Japanese mastering part of a different culture integrating it into their own and revolutionizing it.
Wait... What's that? You don't know about NORTHERN BRIGHT?
Oh... What do you get when 3 guys from Japan hear early 90's Brit Pop?
Yeah that's right, a perfect OASIS meets THE VERVE meets SUEDE blend that is like listening to an unreleased 90's Brit pop classic, except with Japanese and English lyrics. There is a ton of fun "Engrish" pronunciations too. Check it out. It rules.
"You My Lieshing Shuunn."

PILLSBURY HARDCORE - "Complete Discography 85-86"

I bet upon first glance at this post you might say "Hey look its Eric Wood from the world famous MAN IS THE BASTARD". Well if so your right, but to be honest this is more about the bald dude that's yelling. His name is Bill Tuck. He used to come in the record store I worked at all of the time and is close friends with friends of mine. Every time I saw him I'd ask "When is the PILLSBURY HARDCORE discography coming out?" He would just kind of laugh and say stuff like "Nawww I don't know man. Nobody wants that shit." I asked him the same question for a year and a half straight and got the same answer. So when he told me he was thinking about putting together 100 copies of this discography for friends and folks that were into the PILLSBURY HARDCORE records I simply replied "Thanks dude. I'll take one! I'm glad I asked for it for a year and a half." Bill laughed and told me he would bring one by for me when it was done. I figured it would be another year and a half. I was wrong. 2 days later it was at the store in a baggie with my name written on it. The disc is a CDR and the covers were all hand cut and glued and hand numbered. The inserts are numbered as well and there a circular pice of paper with disc art that is also numbered. Bill went all out on this thing. I mean to do 100 of these in 2 days blew my fucking mind. Here is the breakdown of what's on the disc.

1-7 "In A Straight Edge Limbo" 7"
8-10 "Horror Snores" 7"
11-12 Empty Skulls II Comp.
14-16 End The Warzone Comp.
17-22 Live at Fenders Ballroom

There is also a CD rom portion that has tons of pics like the one up there.

Anyhow, so yeah...Wood is cool and all, but Bill came through with some gold when I least expected it.

Thanks Bill.
