If I had to take a guess where warren ellis was taking Secret Avengers this would probably be it.

Barrabarracuda - Abasement Tapes

Abasement Tapes

A pretty underrated slab from the NNF crew. Loose noisy jams. One of my favs no doubt.

Stefan Jaworzyn - Lick My Pussy, Will Montgomery




















Lick My Pussy, Will Montgomery

About 20 or so minutes of guitar destruction. Ascension, Rudolph Grey/Blue Humans, earlyish Skullflower are touchstones.

I don't wanna hype it too much, but it's fucking awesome.

PUKERS - Dead Dog

Dead Dog

For whatever reason whenever I take a quick glance at the cover I can't help but think that's William Faulker holding the dead dawg.

Ashtray Navigations - Last Kiss Amateur Frequencies

Last Kiss Amateur Frequencies

A pretty low key, yet great, single from the almighty Ashtray Navigations. This is actually one of my favs they've done.

Fantastic cover.

Temperatures - Ymir [REPOST FIXED LINK]

Ymir

Sorry about the delay on the reup of this, but now you'll finally get to hear side B! Hope it was worth the wait. sorryaboutthati'majerk.

Here's an a story that pretty well illustrates my history with Temperatures and my own stupidity.

For the longest time, despite reading reviews that describe them pretty well as NOT being this, I thought these guys would sound like fucking Fuck Buttons. I actually have a soft spot for Fuck Buttons [It's like a Fisher Price "MY FIRST NOISE RECORD" type thing. i love it.], but i was shocked when i bought mp3's of Eskra and it was much more in line with what bands like Talibam! are doing that anything else.

I think I've jammed this puppy more than any record I've heard in recent memory. It's a solid motherfucker.

United Waters - Your First Ever River lp

Your First Ever River

TOTAL REQUEST LIIIVE.

Sorta fitting that this came out on Arbitrary Signs since Nolan's Spectre Folk project is kinda the closest comparison I can think of of the top of my head.

I hope that makes some sort of sense.

Afternoon Penis - High Noon

High Noon

Best Band Name Ever? YES OH YES!
