Snakes For the Divine

If you are feeling a lack of double bass drums and sick metal rhythm sections in your life, try the new High on Fire record.  I listened to it early this morning, and it inspired me to clean the house.  That is powerful shit.   I suggest headphones if you have a cat.

I've also been listening to Moon Duo a bit.

I got this link on pitchfork - DON'T CALL THE WEB SHERIFF -

Moon Duo is one or two people from Wooden Shjips. See>>>


Most of the other stuff I've been listening to lately is old/classic/inappropriate for the blog.  That said, I must comment on Moby Grape.  Yes, they are classic, but I had never listened to them before.  One of you guys posted about phrockblog awhile ago.  It seems that they no longer exist, but recently they had posted a ton of Moby Grape, so it inspired me to check them out.  I don't know why I never listened to them before.  They are so bandly.  I imagine them playing live, and I get all excited.  Shit is dope.

After a quick Wikipedia search, I learned that one of them was Alexander "Skip" Spence.  A few years ago, a friend of mine lent me his record "Oar" because he thought I would like it.  He was right.  I did like it, but I never bothered to find out more about his background.  It turns out that Mr. Spence suffered a mental breakdown like others from that era.  Immediately before recording "Oar" he had been commited to a mental hospital.  Sad indeed.  The Moby Grape albums and Skip Spence's "Oar" are fine recordings.



That's all for now.
