SWANS ~ My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky 2010 posted by FRANKKUBB

Swans is an influential band from New York City, New York, United States, active from 1982 to 1997, reformed in 2010, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. Marginally associated with the no wave scene at first, their original sound was slow and heavy, with live performances that were often so brutal and physical that in a number of instances certain audience members were made ill, police were called and venues were shut down. This early physical sound is possibly best heard on the live album Public Castration Is a Good Idea. Their initial style shifted a little by the time Swans released seminal twin albums Greed and Holy Money. The music had sped up, at times being even more punishing than their earlier output. Drum machines and samples were slightly more prominent. Michael Gira was joined vocally by Jarboe which gave the band a broader sonic range. Tracks featuring Jarboe were often quieter, even pretty, acting as counterpoint to the more harrowing themes on the albums. Over time, this style would come to dominate the Swans’ output, although they somehow seem to have been able to make a strummed acoustic guitar seem as brutal as their earlier amped-up assaults. The lush instrumentation of their albums from the late 1980s and the 1990’s anticipated the birth of post-rock. Swans eventually broke up in 1997; Gira went on to release some solo work, later forming the band The Angels of Light, who continue many of the themes and styles found in (later) Swans. Jarboe releases solo work and frequently works with other bands and artists; recently she released an album with Neurosis, a group clearly heavily influenced by Swans. The influence of Swans upon the music world is profound. Across their 15 years of existence, the various styles they explored gave birth to grindcore (Napalm Death, Nasum) modern “cinematic” post-rock (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mono), and atmospheric sludge metal (Isis, Neurosis). On January 2010 announced Swans reunion and working on new recordings. The song Jim recently added to the playlist at MySpace is an acoustic demo (solo at home) recording by Michael Gira. This, and many other new songs recorded in the same way comprise many of the new (rough versions) of songs under consideration, to be fleshed out on the coming new Swans album. A CD of these acoustic versions, as well as a live (2 shows) DVD of Michael Gira will be for sale very soon as a hand made (by Gira) package called I Am Not Insane (CD/DVD). this package – in a limited edition of 1000 – will be sold in order to raise money for the Swans recordings TRACKLIST: 01 - No Words / No Thoughts 02 - Reeling The Liars In 03 - Jim 04 - My Birth 05 - You Fucking People Make Me Sick 06 - Inside Madeline 07 - Eden Prison 08 - Little Mouth DOWNLOAD HERE http://www.mediafire.com/?q7ajzjebp5rsesa

DISCOGRAPHY HERE

http://www.vuzrecords.de/bands/smersh/smdisco.htm

Smersh was Mike Mangino and Chris Shepard. And from 1981 until 1994 they released far too many cassette tapes. They also contributed to far too many compilations throughout the known world. In the early eighties they established a unique sound that is known and loved, combining cheap electronics and wild guitar sounds with distorted vocals. They were in fact a bit The Ramones of the industrial scene. But were they industrial? The Smersh sound had so many faces that it is next to impossible to categorize their music. Smersh recorded on most monday evenings for a couple of hours. Each song was improvised over the course of the evening and then recorded. Once it was finished they never played it again. They never rehearsed, they couldn't read music, and they never played live.
Some dates (important?)
1976 - Mike Mangino forms Pink Noise
1977 - Chris Shepard forms The pop-tarts
1978 - Mike joins The Pop-tarts
1979 - Mike and Chris leave The Pop-tarts to form Smersh
1981 - The first Smersh cassette is released
1983 - First European exposure on The Last Supper cassette compilation (with SPK,Test Dept.) 1986 - First LP, The Part Of The Animal That People Don't Like released by Dead Man's Curve, UK

Heavens To Betsy - Rare/Lives 1992-1993 posted by FRANKKUBB

Heavens to Betsy was a punk band from Olympia, Washington. The members were Tracy Sawyer on drums and occasionally bass guitar, and Corin Tucker on guitar and vocals. One of their first appearances was at the International Pop Underground Convention organized by independent record label K Records in 1991. For one night an all-female bill, dubbed "Love Rock Revolution Girl Style Now" commanded the stage with Heavens to Betsy, Bratmobile, Jean Smith of Mecca Normal and 7 Year Bitch appearing, an event that is widely considered one of the pivotal events in the inception of the Riot Grrrl movement. Their first record was a split single on K Records with Bratmobile, considered an essential Riot Grrrl recording. The band recorded three singles, produced one LP/CD, Calculated, and contributed to many compilations while they were together. These recordings are now sought after by collectors. One of these compilations, Free to Fight, also included a song contributed by the band Excuse 17, of which Carrie Brownstein was a member. Corin and Carrie began to play together, and when Heavens to Betsy disbanded in the mid 1990s, the two women founded Sleater-Kinney.

Le Tigre - Complete posted by FRANKKUBB

Jo and Kathleen met in Portland, Oregon about ten years ago at a Bikini Kill show. Jo thought Kathleen's band was startling and great so she gave Kathleen her zine (Snarla) after the show. Kathleen's affection for Jo's writing was so strong that when she moved to Portland during a Bikini Kill hiatus, she found out where Jo worked and went there to seek her out. The two became fast friends and stayed in touch for years, finally ending up together once again in New York. In September of 1999, (after separately taking note of JD through mutual feminist friends) we ran into JD while we were on our way to get our photo taken. Sadie introduced us all, and we stopped on St. Marks for a minute and looked into each other’s eyes. Maybe it was the location, maybe it was the planets, but it was then that our collective subconscious took control and magnetized us to each other forever. After this magical meeting on the street. The three of us, (Kathleen, JD, and Johanna) all happened to be at the same Halloween party in Dumbo, Brooklyn to see our mutual friend, Dasha, play records. The night was full of all kinds of party drama which led to a creepy and crowded elevator ride together. We finally ended up on the side of the street watching two people dressed up as dead Princess Diana and the girl from ‘Sweet Valley High’ physically fight over cabs. This was only the beginning of what we were yet to see together.
We started in 1998, when Kathleen moved to New York. Having just put out her first solo record, Julie Ruin, it seemed logical to try and translate that album into a live show. Not wanting to perform alone, she asked Jo to help her with the project. (Jo had just bought a sampler and was getting into home recording too).Earlier that year Kathleen had gone to Chicago and made a video for the Julie Ruin song "Aerobicide" with her friend Sadie Benning. Sadie expressed interest in doing visuals and/or helping with the music for the live performances Kathleen was planning. So back in New York, Jo and Kathleen worked hard, trying to re-shape the Julie Ruin material into a live show, but ended up writing new songs together instead. They sent cassette tapes of what they were making to Sadie in Chicago and she visited New York and began working with them on their new, as-yet-unnamed project. This material ultimately became the first Le Tigre album.Because we wanted to have a visual component to accompany our live performance (and couldn't afford to buy a video projector) we made a slide-show that had to be manually triggered. Our first show was on a snowy night at a collectively run queer art/performance space in Brooklyn called Dumba. The line-up at that time was Kathleen, Jo, & Sadie, with JD Samson running the slide projector. JD came on tour with the band as the slide technician/roadie, but it was immediately apparent that she should have a more active role in the performances. We were already talking about having her dance and sing back-ups with us on stage when Sadie decided she didn't want to be in Le Tigre anymore. Since a month long US tour was already booked and Jo had quit her job to do it, we asked JD if she would become a full-fledged member of Le Tigre. Luckily she said "yes". JD added an undeniable flair and charisma to the live show and took to touring and recording like a fish to water. Since then we have put out three records and gone on 8 tours, and now we have a video projector and two crew members to make our team complete: Dusty Lombardo, the best merch-selling video tech around; and Killer, the sound woman everyone wants to steal!

Big Black 'Atomizer' Test Pressing 1986 REJECTED TEST PRESSING by FRANKKUBB

Big Black Atomizer LP - REJECTED Test Pressing


This is an extremely rare record from my personal collection. Released by Homestead (HMS043/043C) in 1986 - making it a very rare test pressing since it's not the more common Touch and Go release.


What makes it EVEN rarer is that it's an original REJECTED test pressing of Big Black's Atomizer LP from 1986. Apparently, Steve was very unhappy with the initial version, and insisted that the master be recut. He had copious notes for Homestead Records about what was wrong with the record. If you take a look at the etchings on the commercial release, they are "HMS 043 A RE" (RE stands for "remake") and" HMS 043 B RE", whereas here they're "HMS 043 A" (see picture) and "HMS 043 B".


While I don't have Steve's original notes (since I didn't get the copy that had the writing on it), the previous owner who I bought it off of does. Take a look here for more details on the original sale of this album: http://www.popsike.com/Big-Black-Atomizer-LP-original-REJECTED-test-pressing/120320851764.html



Before you ask what's different about it, I'm not really sure. I had every intent to listen to it after I purchased it, but I never got around to it. That will be up to the next owner to figure out.


There's only a few of these that are known to even exist. All of my other Atomizer LP test pressings have the RE ("remake") designation in the etching just like the the production Homestead release.


Track List:
"Jordan, Minnesota"
"Passing Complexion"
"Big Money"
"Kerosene"
"Bad Houses"
"Fists of Love"
"Stinking Drunk"
"Bazooka Joe"
"Strange Things"
"Cables" (live)

Autechre 'Cornfield'

Autechre: Sean Booth, Rob Brown.
Consummate musical technocrats, Autechre, have been leading the charge of post-digital experimentation since their arrival on the U.K. music scene in the early `90s. While their earliest efforts contained reference points in the more earthbound rhythms from early hip-hop, electro, and ambient electronica, later albums delved further into realms of abstraction and rhythmic deconstruction. On 2001's CONFIELD, Autechre drafted perhaps their boldest statement yet, leaving some fans clamoring for the pastoral ambience and gentle beatscapes of yore. Never ones to fall back on familiar routines, the group here seem of a piece with the post-millennial "clicks-and-cuts" aesthetic of experimental electronica. From bracingly jagged overflows of programmed polyrhythms and error-ridden DSP processing, to oblique compositional strategies, Autechre display a mastery of building musical structure by way of a healthy shot of lateral thinking.

James Chance and the Contortions "Buy"

Here's something a little different. One of the original punk jazz groups of the New York No Wave scene, the Contortions were led by saxophonist James Chance, aka James White. Their first recorded appearance, credited solely as the Contortions, was on the 1978 compilation, No New York. The following year, two albums were issued almost simultaneously on the ZE label, Buy the Contortions (an extreme jazz-punk LP) and Off White.



This was out in 1979, and will definately blow your mind if you're into weird and highly innovative music.
