RUBBISH MATTERS

The Wire's Byron Coley ranks the Rubbish Throwers 7" in his best-of chart for 2010 ('Rewind', January 2011). Sure, he makes a typo along the way but what the hell. This is as good a time as any to mention that the RT-7" was originally titled Tapeworms but the vinyl factory put the wrong labels on.

I'm not sure who bothers to sift through lists like this, so I've made it easy for you. A bunch of Australian stuff creeping in here, Rubbish Throwers, Super Wild Horses, Go Genre Everything and Exiles from Clowntown (who I highly recommend checking out). And it's worth sifting all the way through to Weyes Bluhd because that is some killer stuff right there:

April in the Orange
The Bent Moustache/Shrug
Jac Berrocal & Andrew Liles
Daymoon
Exiles from Clowntown
Go Genre Everything
Pheromoans
Stefano Pilia
Pumice
Rubbish (Throwers)
Super Wild Horses
JG Thirwell & Fred Bigot
Tsembla
Various (Solo Guitar)/Winebox Press
Weyes Bluhd

LVTR PRSS



Thanks to Steven at UK's Elevator Press for the kind words. There's only a small handful of these tapes left, you can grab a copy over at www.endlessmelt.com
If you just want the audio, you can find that here.

BLIND NOSTALGIA - DRUNK HANDS


DRUNK HANDS - BLINDS
"Blinds is a mood piece of brutalising and enervating denseness: the droning feedback of the twenty-plus minute ‘Drunk Hands Make Love’ hangs thick in the air, lolling like smoke at the top of a room; the drum beat of ten-plus minute ‘Sojourn of the Psyche’ doesn’t shift for its duration, waiting like a senile old man for a bus that never comes. Only the guitars move – and they wriggle and shift with all the limber action of Rowland S. Howard after a cup of coffee, snaking around surf figures and post-punk grooves. Blinds is a radical exercise in stasis. Dark, deep and unforgiving, it’s an invitation to black moods." - Mess+Noise

This is an album I recorded during 2005 and released early the next year. The limited release sold out long ago, so upon discovering friends at the now defunct net-label FauxFetus have created an archive of their catalogue, I thought I'd post a link to download the album.
