FIGHT ON, YOUR TIME AIN'T LONG

another out of print collection of incredible gospel blues from the masters at Mississippi Records. this one is a little bit more dark and downer than a few of their others, which I have to say makes it my favorite of their compilation releases. tons of heavy hitters on this one, every track is beautiful and as always the finest mastering and packaging for your money's worth. of everything the label's released thus far this one has had the most play on my deck. enjoy!

ITS WU TANG ONE TONIGHT!

this is absolutely PRICELESS material for the true wu heads out there, if its somehow slipped under yr radar...


question: what happens when you let dirty, method, RZA and masta killa loose in the studio on BBC's esteemed Tim Westwood show, with open phone lines full of their adoring british fans?



answer: THIS

THE LOWBORN

some friends and friends of friends put together by far one of the most fucked up, psychedelic films i've ever bared witness to, and i had the pleasure of attending the first screening of it last night. from YDGN (you're a damn good ninja) productions from san francisco, here's the trailer for the movie you've never heard about that will probably induce vomiting, THE LOWBORN:

REV. GARY DAVIS


so way back in the glory days of the mid-2000's, my friends and i took a road trip from southern california to the promised land of san francisco and oakland. i actually can't remember if we were on tour with our "band" at the time, because a couple of these trips went down before i eventually moved to the bay, but while walking back to the car in berkeley from amoeba, we literally just happened upon this cd. freshly purchased and brand-new in a rasputin records bag, it had probably just been bought and dropped, but with nobody else in sight, we took it for our own. none of us had ever heard of Reverend Gary Davis, none of us really even listened to old time gospel blues, but as soon as we got in the car and put this one in the stereo we all instantly fell in love with Davis' honest and timeless style. we listened to it pretty much exclusively for the rest of the trip, and in turn all became die-hard fan's of his beautifully gritty gospel.

from the R. Crumb "Heroes of the Blues" series, this collection compiles the best of Gary Davis' classic works. with no hesitation, this is one of if not the most favorite collection of country gospel blues, and coincidentally my formal introduction to the genre. enjoy!

SKUGGEHEIM

SKUGGEHEIM - VINTERRIKETS KONGE (Fossbrenna Creations, 2007)

true norwegian black metal that can hold its weight with the classics. skin peeling lo-fi howl and furious breakneck blasts over cavernous and generally original-sounding riffs, if its pure filth and evil you're seeking look no further. crocodile kenny tossed me a bone and gave me his extra copy of this tape, Skuggeheim's 2007 demo "Vinterrikets Konge" and even though i hadn't listened to it in a few months it still holds up as one of the best black metal tapes i've heard in a long long time, maybe ever. also, just because, their name translates to mean "shadow home". brutal.
