| Zine: |
I've always had a blog, I just don't want to call it that. Blog is a lame word for it. However, I'm going to try to write more short articles in the style of a blog and make the interface to the "zine" more blog-like. If you want a real blog, here's one I made recently: What Cats Like. Enjoy.
I spent the fall living in Budapest. Read about it here: BP Blog
Earn It Yourself! There's a new website in town, that I've made with some friends. It has some of the features of this site (calendar, articles) combined with parts of BYOFL (band listings) plus some new really cool features, includeing a show trade tool that I think is one of the only ones out there meant to connect underground bands with one another. Check out the Beta site! EarnItYourself.com

The Unit Breed
Lost Eyes CD / DVD
Lost Eyes is a double disc CD / DVD extravaganza. This is the 5th album by The Unit Breed, and it showcases the bizarre brilliance of the band. "Lost Eyes" is 55 minutes of unsettling, dark music. The DVD contains a movie version of the CD. It's a work of unacknowledged genius, and has moments reminiscent of Sonic Youth or Fugazi, but remains unique and uncategorizable.

Trabant
Young, Reckless and Debonaire
Stripped down punk rock, conceived and recorded in the dark crannies of rural exile. Fast, cheap and out of control. The CD comes with videos and a diy guide to making CDs.

Motorama - supercustomspecial
Those crazy canadians. This is brash, hyper, spastic music that reminds me of Nomeansno and the Jesus Lizard, among other things. They look like bad seed hicks that got into the moonshine, and they play like them too. Check out the mp3.

Organic - The Life and Times of Sal Sagev
Organic take the early-90's approach to gruff punk rock. At first blush, it sounds like a less well-recorded and ambitious American Steel. Luckily, there are some divergences from the formula, including a violin on one track that are pretty good. If you like the Insurgent or American Steel, this might be up your alley. One complaint. Why oh why can't bands learn how to spell. I mean, it's really not that hard, and you're paying someone to print up 1,000 CD booklets that conclusively prove you haven't yet mastered the English language? Argh.

Hellchild - Circulating Contradiction
Hellchild been gargling windex, and the results ain't pretty. I will be the very first to admit to being biased against metal, and while the premise for this is typically silly - some guy gargling his tonsils, the music maintains innovation and keeps me interested.
