Thee Oh Sees - The Master's Bedroom is Worth Spending a Night In

Thee Oh Sees or the ohsees or previously known as OCS (Orange County Sound, Orinoka Crash Suite) is John Dwyers solo project turned full band over the course of 8 releases. While Dwyer is more commonly known as a member of the noise duo pink&brown, thee oh sees shows a more laid back relaxed side of him. I think of John Dwyer is a god among men and love just about everything he has done but this remains one of my favorites to date.

Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (2008)

well ive been sick for a few days so im sorry for the lack of updates, ill make up for it by posting a few cds today. also ive been messaging back and forth with the label who releases crystal castles full length, pretty much the release thrash/thrash/thrash is not an offical release but is infact a fan made demo that the guys at CC do not like. i am sorry for that but i was told to repost it with their new self titled release that came out this year. please enjoy!

Crystal Castles - thrash/thrash/thrash

Ethan Kath does all the music, Alice Glass does all the vocals. This is one of their early releases but is still quite good. The Canada based duo is playing in Miami in March, should be a good fucking time. Electronica with a dash of screaming and a sprinkled amont of vocoder with just enough dance beats to make it good, Crystal Castles is sweet.

Aesop Rock - Labor Days

When i was in middle school all i knew about rap was that is mostly consisted of sex, drugs, and money. If it wasnt about a "thong song" or "country grammer" i wasnt really aware of it. To say i was sheltered from the true world of hiphop would have been an understatement. Then after meeting a friend of a friend i was handed a cd that would forever change my views on rap music and hiphop for the rest of my life. Ian Matthias Bavitz aka Aesop Rock was the first rapper i had ever heard that rymed about real life, the struggles of growing up, and even told stories and taught positive lessons and ontop of that he was a white rapper and not named after a chocolate candy (insert lame eminiem pun here). I couldnt believe how much i enjoyed this cd and found myself looking into other undergroup hiphop rappers like Dose One, Bus Driver and Bleubird. For the first time in my life hiphop was not associated with MTV or making money and living large, it was something i could understand and even relate to in some sences. One of the most fun i had last summer was seeing Aesop Rock in Miami on the "None Shall Pass" tour, even now that he has made a name for himself in the world of hiphop and has even had his own spots on MTV he was still a down to earth guy who was just happy to be there and having a good time. Aesop Rock is a fucking amazing rapper and doesnt let his ability and success cloud his judgement (cough cough kanye west cough cough), hell the guy still drives a ford focus! Listen to this cd and fucking love it, i know i still do to this day.

Mineral -The Power Of Failing

When your girlfriend left you, you parents think you are shit, and you still cant find a job after looking for weeks and your just not sure what the fuck you can do next. Put in Mineral, no joke. 90s emo at its finest and it sure makes me feel a fuck of alot better.

The Random Notes of Decay - Demo

Three dudes from Tallahassee, Florida playing some sick tunes. Also from what i hear will soon be doing a split with local Fort Myers legends Lets Go Exploring (ex Anchorite Four, Drawing Maps, and then some) and in the words a fine man once told me "Random Notes of Decay is the fucking best, ever," well you cant argue with that.

Silver Jews - American Water

David Berman is what i like to think of as a genius, he is a founding memeber of Silver Jews. The bands start is pretty amazing in itself, 3 friends started a band in college and moved to New York after graduation and gave up on the band for their careers as a bus driver and art museum security guards. A few years later they decided to start things back up with the name Silver Jews. The first time i heard about this band was from someone i highly respect musically and was completely blow away by their sound and overall feel. Most of my high school digital design class was spent with my teacher talking about how great this band was, this is one of their best releases.
