 The search for a new mixtape service (among other things) continues. 8tracks.com works, but it’s not the greatest. Enter mixtape.me, which ALMOST does the job, but I sorta hate the way it looks. Anyway, this playlist isn’t full of Halloween songs – just covers. You know, disguises. Like costumes. HIGHLIGHTS David Yow of Jesus Lizard with Shellac as the Sex Pistols, from a show on Halloween in 1998. Hairdresser on Fire featuring the vocal stylings of Durutti Column’s Vini Reilly. Yeah, he’s kind of a shitty singer but it’s still pretty rad. Marilyn Manson’s version of Rock N Roll Continue reading Cover songs mixtape – Halloween 2009…
 Steve Albini is responsible for fronting the most caustic and, depending on whether or not you have a sense of humor, either hilarious or upsetting bands of the mid- to late-80s (Big Black), that weird sort of late-80s to 90s spur period (Rapeman), and the 90s proper (Shellac), as well as producing more albums by more bands than we’re sure even he can keep track of.

 Something good happened today. I saw Leonard Cohen’s Live in London performance of Suzanne on KOCE and I remembered that I love music. I also remembered that I once had a pretty good website about it. I’m sorry I’ve neglected you for so many months, Weapon!! I’m back, and promise to throw something your way at least 3 times a week, starting now:

 Mark E. Smith (The Fall) is 51 years old and still punk as fuck. I saw The Fall like 6 years ago at the Knitting Factory with Midget Handjob (ex Misguided Youth, Clawhammer, Circle Jerks, etc. etc. etc.) and it totally sucked. That’s right, I said it. But I won’t dispute the claim that the prune is still a total bad-ass. He made the band (whose members probably went to Continue reading All things lead to Steve Albini: or, the Mark E. Smith Squirrel Massacre…
 I’m just not sure if I say it enough. Actually, I’ll take that back–I’m totally sure that I DO NOT say it enough–Steve Albini, I love you, I love Rapeman, I love Big Black, and I love Shellac. Seriously this man writes like the most bitter, petty, cathartic, and universally comprehensible lyrics I can think of. He thinks the same psychotic, homicidal thoughts that you do when you find out
