Death Evocation
Death Evocation – Brooklyn, Acheron 04 Aug 2012 from (((unartig))) on Vimeo. One of the best bands in the past few years has been Death Evocation. Serious Sacrilege style music from members of Mind Eraser and many others.
RIP Dave Brubeck
hardcore-ufos: “Take 5,” may get all the fame from cool jazz standard Time Out, but it’s the closing track, “Pick Up Sticks,” that shows Brubeck at the top of his ivory tickling game. It’s a piece that succeeds on its contradictions. Joe Morello and Eugene Wright’s rhythm section is simultaneously deep in the pocket yet very prevalent in the mix, Paul Desmond’s sax solo is relaxed but never shy, and D.B.’s solo feels both dissonant and confrontational, yet consonant and beautifully harmonic. His improvisatory ability may never be better exemplified then in those last two minutes; with each chord change he…

Summer Reviews
Things have been slow around here lately. Some of it is lack of motivation, a lot of that stems from a decent downswing in readers/listeners, but also in content. I have not had a lot to say lately for some reasons that, maybe, I will write about sometime. *** Real Cops Demo Excellent NJHC that reminds me of bands like Full Speed Ahead and Tear It Up (who members of this band were in). I see a lot of potential here. *** Sucked Dry Demo Wow, another band that sounds like Cold Sweat is a big influence on them. Obviously, other bands like Crossed Out and Rorschach are also big influences. I…

Show Review: Ceremony-Citizens Arrest-Leather
Now that I live in Mount Holly, Philadelphia is a 30 minute drive away. So that means I will be at shows there a lot more in the future. This was a great example: I left my apartment at 7:30 and was home by 10:30 (well, 10:45 after a trip to Wawa). I have been meaning to catch Citizens Arrest at one of their reunion shows and just haven’t gotten around to it until now. I enjoyed their reunion record (vinyl now available on Painkiller Records) and looked forward to checking them out here. They were playing with Ceremony, who…

Show Review: Cro-Mags/DRI
Uh, the Cro-Mags are playing? Sign me up. A big bonus for this show was that DRI was also playing (and headlining, not that it really matters). I drove up to Sayerville on a rainy, rotten evening that made me feel miserable as I made my way up the Parkway. I left late, hoping to miss the openers, but I ended up getting lost in the actual town of Sayerville, which killed another 20 minutes or so. The venue’s website said it was “easy” to get to the venue, but despite that I could not find my supposed exit off Route 9. I…

What if everyone had the Black Flag bars tattooed on their arms?”
“I’ve asked that myself before,” murmured Bill. “I thought that when I first saw people with them. I thought, what if everyone had one of those? Everyone? And I got scared, because I learned in the Bible about the devil and stuff, and everyone would have one of those 666s or whatever on their body… Who knows? What if everyone looked the same? What if everyone had the Black Flag bars tattooed on their arms?” Bill Stevenson Black Flag
Sun Ra Arkestra: Points On A Space Age
Last night, I watched Sun Ra Arkestra: Points On A Space Age. This DVD focuses more on recent activities since Sun Ra died, but there is good background about what Sun Ra was all about. Newcomers should definitely check this out.
