If figure there maybe one or possibly two songs that will get listed at the very end of the year so I am holding a couple spaces just in case there is anything totally fucking amazing that comes out between now and then.

If you want more Best Of The Decade style blog coverage head over to largehearted boy for some aggregation.

Another White Shit mp3 from the PPM-released Sculpted Beef LP appeared online recently, and I totally forgot to post it. I post it now.

Downloadables: Jim Morrison (mp3)

Oh, who are White Shit? You ask.

White Shit = Andy of Skull Kontrol, Jared and Coady of Big Business/Melvins, and of course Tits. They play a melange of hardcore punk and metal. The most common word used to describe their music is SHRED.

Melvins are getting ready to release their first album of remixes (though some might argue that Electroretard‘s reworked tracks were remixes). The album is entitled Chicken Switch and will see the light of day on Sept 29 on Ipecac Recordings. Remixers include among other Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth fame and Eye Yamatsuka of Boredoms fame. Craziness will ensue.

Downloadable: Queen (Electroclash Remix by Panacea)

Upcoming Date:
Sept 11 @ Nokia Theatre
