Trans Am / Wingtip Sloat - 'Split EP'
http://www.mediafire.com/?ujmrxyyxzd2
Wingtip Sloat is worth a listen based only on the radness of their band name. Trans Am degenerates into thick clouds of distortion and the beat goes on. Obscure vinyl only release from 1996.

Panel Donor - 'Lobedom & Global' (1995)
If the band's name and album title here don't tip you off that this is music made by nerds and for nerds, song titles like 'Bobafetish' will clue you in to this fact. It consists of Indie-pop from 1995. The guitars are especially creative, lots of strange chords and interplay, executed with a hefty amount of slides and wammy bar action. It's dated, to be sure. I was listening to this perhaps when I should have been listening to more metal as a teenager, nonetheless, the song structures and rhythm section sizzled my bacon as a youngin. Posting because I'm stuck on the 1990s this week. -dj alibi

Six Finger Satellite - 'Law of Ruins' (1998)
Seminal 6FS in top form. Vocoders galore, eerie keys, grimacing guitars, punch-you-in-the-face bass… and discoteque beats. Scorched earth. -dj alibi

Lord, I wish I had a Dolly Parton tape...
BORIS 2011
BORIS - 'NEW ALBUM' (2011)
BORIS - 'ATTENTION PLEASE' (2011)
BORIS - 'HEAVY ROCKS' (2011)
3 new albums so far this year for Boris. Attention please is all female vocals, I especially like the last song. New Album is pure Jpop, autotune vocals, roto-toms, beats that seem like they belong on a Justin Timberlake Album... if this doesn't make you feel like a repressed mischievous teenager in Japan, then I don't know what will. Heavy Rocks is more heavy hitting, I especially like the second to last song. Boris seem like they are just as happy in the recording studio as my old man is in the grocery store. My old man is a grocery store swan.

ROYAL TRUX - 'THANK YOU'
THANK YOU by ROYAL TRUX Classic album by classic U.S. rock heroes. Their major label debut. A track like Ray-O-Vac is one of those types of songs that makes one wonder what in the world was on the minds and in the hearts of the songwriters when they wrote this song, which is named after a vacuum cleaner. The chorus: "Gotta build your rock/On the Ray-O-Vac/Gotta build your rock/On the Ray-O-Vac/On the Ray-O-Vac/On the Ray-O-Vac/Gotta build your rock/On the Ray-O-Vac" Is it something from somewhere in a heroin-imbued oblivion? Not having ever tried heroin, one can only wonder. Here is what CBS News anchor Dan Rather has to say on heroin: "...in 1955 or '56, I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to 'smack,' and quickly." --from a July 1980 interview with Ladies' Home Journal.
