Failed Pilot

I’ll be Oscar blogging in real time (sort of) tomorrow night! Read me! Mine will be the funniest!

For albums unassociated with a deadline, I’m trying to make a little something happen between the PO BOX and the box that goes to the record store. You can thank me later.

THIRD SIGHT
Symbionese Liberation Army
Disgruntled Recordings/Amalgam Entertainment
Usually, I tend to turn a gentile nose up at underground hip-hop in favor the fucking, killing, getting fucked-up, general X-rated, good times variety of rap. This hasn’t changed, and I took this CD out of the player thirty minutes ago. I remember a Giant Robot reference on track two, and that’s about it.

HELVETIA
The Clever North Wind
Up Records
Clever? Why sell yourself short? GEEEEEEENEEEEEUUUSSSS!!!

MODEL/ACTRESS

Former members of Bullet Lavolta, Brainiac, and Chamberlain? Special guests from Enon (wait…) and David Yow of The Jesus Lizard? Am correctly I reading the words that I just typed? Can you HANDLE THIS?!?!? This is the perfect storm of whatever force is also causing Alice Donut to work on a new album. If your wife and eight-year-old don’t like it, it ain’t circa-1990 aggro!!

THE PLASTIC CONSTELLATIONS
Crusades
French Kiss Records
Buy this album! It’s “cause” rock! Here’s a cause: Buy it and move it around to every city in which you reside. That way, in the year 2011, a record store clerk can avoid paralyzing injury, as they won’t be trying to cram 82 copies of this record into the one-dollar bin.

GUS BLACK
Autumn Days
Cheap Lullaby Records
There’s fake ringwear on the cover of this CD. A new approach to the “Coloradoization of America.”

LAMBCHOP
The Decline Of Country And Western Civilization Part II: The Woodwind Years
Merge
Look, I’m still waiting on Lester to release an album.
