Music Roundup


I know it has been a long time since I published a music post but now is as good a time as any.

Mechanical Asparagus Project- As near as I can tell this is just one guy making lots of songs. I would say they are often ironic if his vocals didn't ooze sincerity. If I had to compare it to other music I would say that M.A.P. rocks the deadpan manner and sweet guitarings of the Violent Femmes combined with the dreamlike lyrics of Ween.

Ellmatic- Antique Fork Mix
sixty eight minutes of songs with bizarre titles. A mix created for T' Nieuwe Werck.

The Death Set- I don't know what it is about these eighties sounding bands that gets my blood flowing but it sure sounds good.

Crystal Castles- More eighties tinged stuff. Tricked out Synth grooves.

Apes & Androids- If you ever wondered what would happen if Adamski produced a SuperTramp album you will frickin' love this band.

Well, that is it for now as I can't be bothered to track down any more links.

not only have i peeped your mix elmattic but i've got all my peeps peeping your mixes as well. elmattic is also the fellow responsible for the crazy sick-ass dopeness that is Cities of the Red Night (not just a Burroughs book anymore!). i can't recommend these works enough. a quote from the Toronto band Red Ants might sum it up though, "This is rap music/ Paranoid and aggressive"
