The Reptilian - Boy's Life
--- Quote ---You know that scene in Back to the Future, when the guitarist, whom hand was broken, was watching Fox shred on Johny be Good, called his manager and said, "You know that new sound you've been lookin' for? Well listen to this!". That's exactly how I feel around these times.
I'm sure all of you who read this blog have listened to Native. Well, this band is another band emerging that encompasses this sound.
... I'll try explaining it again. Twiddly guitar, intricate bass lines, dancy melodies, aggressive shouting type vocals with lots of revurb, all wrapped up in a genre that we all can agree is hardcore. So, yes, there are also gang vocals.
If that description was wrong or compeltely turned you off, go fuck yourself. I didn't want to do it in the first place. This whole blog thing is for you anyway. So download this four-song EP, which is completely new and has not been released yet, and support the band.
Again, if you loved Native, this band will make you feel the same way. And you better support them! Buy their shit, make comments on their myspace, go to their shows, learn their lyrics and make a fool of yourself. Bands like this don't come around too often.

This will sound awesome to anyone who enjoys Soulwax, Bassnectar, Simian Mobile Disco, and most things eminently danceable. 2 tracks per 12'', they're all awesome.

Casbah the Aussie music nerd again. I'm working on a mixtape/bunch of songs by The Presets. They should be uploaded (Upload speed 14 kb/s, !@#$) by some time this weekend, so if anyone is a fan of Dance/Electro/Techno/House type music then stay tuned because your record collection should not be without them.
casbah:
...and here it is a .rar full of great Presets dance/electro/techno songs. However I noticed that no-one was actually downloading the album from my previous post so I thought maybe I should have included a sample song to download, so I have, in this post I have a sample of some Living End songs as well as a bunch of Presets songs, so if you end up not liking them then you haven't downloaded 60mb+ just to see what the sound like.
The Living End samples:
Can't remember the name but it's a great song about young people:

The Presets samples:
My People (radio edit), This is a song about riots in refugee/illegal immigrant detainment camps in Australia's desert, it is superb. Also I don't think I put it in the .rar file so you should download it anyway :-P

Like I said these guys are a great electro/techno/dance duo, howver alot of their songs are a little dark and melancholy. These guys also put on a great live show.
Soon I'll post some Aussie/New Zealander Hip Hop/Skip Hop/Rap in the form of Bliss N Eso and The Hilltop Hoods

For those who like experimental sound-art, here are all of the cassette releases by Gregory Whitehead, about whom Discogs has this to say:
“Gregory Whitehead is a writer, audio artist, and the director of sea-crow media. He has produced over fifty radio features, voice works, and earplays for programmes in the United States and abroad. Drawing on his background in improvised music and experimental theatre, Whitehead has created a body of radiophonic work distinguished by its playfully provocative blend of text, concept, voice, music, and pure sound.”
They're all fascinating pieces, bringing together aspects of field recordings, musique concrète, radio plays & more into utterly original sonic creations. The works were all released on single-sided cassettes, of which these are excellent quality rips. The artwork's a bit large & unwieldy to show here, but is included in the zip files.
