Nawfuck Gives Up Another Winner

                  

The Bottle Babies "S/T"

Hailing from Virginias tidewater region, specifically 'Nawfuck'  is The Bottle Babies. Delivering five fresh sleeze R-N-R jams centering on the familiar, but always fresh sex, drugs and rock and roll themes, this is a justified follow-up to their Born On A Bender (see below). Noticeable in the early listens is an underlined punk rawness to one guitar sound and a tasteful hard-hitting exuberance to the other... Rock and/or roll is meant to rage and these five songs bring the vengeance. There's clear evidence of a cheap rye whiskey soaked doom-urgency to the vocals... The dedicated vocalist that I would discuss and establish the Theory of the Endangered RNR 'Frontman' is well received. Throaty Slurred dragging vox from verse to verse---you are convinced that the end is terminal-- lived  out note by note... Day to day... On a need-to-know one step in front of another basis.  Blasting like a mix of LAMF Thunders and good ol' late 90's garage-punk ala The Motards. The Bottle Babies convinced me that whereas the end isn't just near, but you may need a lil' push to be fully committed on the suicide-ride over the edge and The Bottle Babies just may be the band to proudly do it.

STATICFUL PASSAGES

 An even earlier version:Using the iPages application (app)on an iPad in ways that I don't think were originally intended, I went back and forth to several different apps also including Adobe Ideas, Photo and iPhoto taking pictures of drones, McClollugh Effect squares, the picture of Darbys "Junk" poem and random pictures/images of all sorts including many asterisk'd photos (that were layered) and subjected to generous repetition and opacity to get this... A 'piece' I call STATICAL PASSAGES (IN SIX (+) PHASES)

Two Skunks for Valentines Day by Mike Faloon

Two Skunks for Valentines Day
By Mike Faloon
Two Skunks chronicles Mike's quest to attend something called Awesome Fest 6. Imagine a Fear & Loathing except without mescaline and lizards... Mike expertly conveys the riddle that is the base appreciation of punk-rock music. If you read this and don't  'get it' then you probably never will. This zine is a 'blueprint' for a larger project in the works so it's good to get on board the early flight and see where it's taking you. Upon receiving this I quickly ingested it and felt guilty putting it down to monitor other projects including this blog. 

Favorite Sentence: "The AC drones on."
