Goth Goes Away White - Bauhaus Is Dead (Undead Undead Undead)

Posted in Alternative, Bauhaus, Goth on March 5, 2008 by damianmann

Bauhaus may have godfathered goth at the end of the 1970s, but their combustive early dance singles like “Kick in the Eye” could give most current disco-rock trendies a smackdown. For their first studio disc in 25 years, the English quartet flit from riff-fueled social criticism to anguished balladry, often sounding more like a cross between singer Peter Murphy’s brooding solo efforts and splinter group Love and Rockets’ buzzing groove rock than the dubbed-up glampunk band that birthed both. Yet even a tastefully matured Bauhaus produce enough fractured guitar and howling melodrama to wake the undead

My gift to you…my undead readers

Product Description
It is virtually impossible to imagine the last 30 years of rock music without the influence of Bauhaus. They have inspired countless bands and have mesmerized the masses with their ability to be simultaneously sparse, dark, anthemic, and glam. With their new album, entitled Go Away White, Peter Murphy Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins have created an album as exciting and relevant as their earlier work. Echoes of Bauhaus have been heard in the work of their heirs and imitators for the past few decades and 25 years after their last studio release the band have returned with yet another undiluted glimpse into their world.

Nine Inch Nails: Ghosts I (200 8)

Hello from Nine Inch Nails.

We\\\’re very proud to present a new collection of instrumental music, Ghosts I-IV. Almost two hours of music recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I-IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.

Now that we\\\’re no longer constrained by a record label, we\\\’ve decided to personally upload Ghosts I, the first of the four volumes, to various torrent sites, because we believe BitTorrent is a revolutionary digital distribution method, and we believe in finding ways to utilize new technologies instead of fighting them.

We encourage you to share the music of Ghosts I with your friends, post it on your website, play it on your podcast, use it for video projects, etc. It\\\’s licensed for all non-commercial use under Creative Commons.

We\\\’ve also made a 40 page PDF book to accompany the album. If you\\\’d like to download it for free, visit http://ghosts.nin.com/main/pdf

Ghosts I is the first part of the 36 track collection Ghosts I-IV. Undoubtedly you\\\’ll be able to find the complete collection on the same torrent network you found this file, but if you\\\’re interested in the release, we encourage you to check it out at ghosts.nin.com, where the complete Ghosts I-IV is available directly from us in a variety of DRM-free digital formats, including FLAC lossless, for only $5. You can also order it on CD, or as a deluxe package with multitrack audio files, high definition audio on Blu-ray disc, and a large hard-bound book.

We genuinely appreciate your support, and hope you enjoy the new music. Thanks for listening.

Saturnalia in the Gutter

Posted in Alternative, Rock, The Gutter Twins with tags on March 2, 2008 by damianmann

Alternative-rock vets Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan managed to transcend ’90s grunge with the Afghan Whigs and Screaming Trees, respectively. Dulli now
does business as the Twilight Singers, while Lanegan makes solo albums and lends his nicotine-scarred pipes to other people’s albums, including Queens of the Stone Age’s and Dulli’s. Both struggled with drug abuse—they lived, friends didn’t. They’ve spent the 21st century trying to figure out how to age respectably, if not gracefully, without selling their souls to Satan or Botox. And they’ve stayed pals over time. This is tough for guys in their 40s. Just ask one.

So Saturnalia naturally vibes as a record made by men who haven’t worn a band T-shirt to a bar in years. Mortality, regret, guilt, and whatever remains of passion after you say “I was in love with you” all weigh heavily on these two. Fortunately, they’re both versed in meaty riffs, acoustic drama, noirish electronics, and a nice heavy backbeat.

The grimy boogie on “Idle Hands” reminds us that “we are the devil’s playthings.” Dulli is more convinced than ever that “life is shame, and your hands are stained,” especially when he’s talking about himself. “Hold on,” Lanegan intones on “All Misery/Flowers,” as if he barely can. These guys sound like they’re genuinely torn between looking up at the stars and trying to find an exit to the sewer. Neat trick, that.

New Breeders

Posted in Alternative, Rock, The Breeders with tags , , , , on February 25, 2008 by damianmann

The Breeders released their last album - Title TK - back in 2002. Since then, of course, Kim Deal has been part of one of the most highly successful and warmly received music reunions of all time, getting back together with the rest of The Pixies for a series of exhilarating live shows in 2004 and 2005. After that, Kim headed back to Dayton, Ohio to start writing a new record. Mountain Battles is the result. It’s an album which captures all the bittersweet electricity of classic Breeders records like Pod and Last Splash, and which breaks new ground at the same time; classic sounding, yet as relevant and exciting as ever. Mountain Battles was recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, Erika Larson at Stagg Street, Manny Nieto at Manny’s Studio, at Refraze in Dayton and by Ben Mumphrey in the Basement. 4AD. 2008.

get Strawberry Jammed


A weird little band . My favorite track is Peace Bone. To be honest, you have to be in the mood for this kind of offbeat weirdness. But, it’s cool with a bowl of “the purp”. So, smoke up and enjoy.
