New Band Smell : Lifeless Satellites

Spring is kicking down the door here in Minnesota; pale flesh is being reintroduced to the sun, my ladyfriend has declared jihad on the neighborhood birds and off in the distance, I can hear the locals applauding the exploits of the hometown nine in their shiny new digs. But if you're not yet ready to see (and perhaps recoil from) your shadow, Lifeless Satellites is here to help. The long-gestating project of Minneapolis duo, Jeremy Devens and Jesse Alexander Green, their debut release, Internal Recurrence (available now on iTunes), is a beehive round of melancholy set against gently strummed acoustic guitars. Taken as a whole, Internal Recurrence wraps the listener in a blanket of acquiescent ambivalence that at times suggests what The Fragile would have sounded like had Trent Reznor spurned his studio trickery for a lone dreadnought. Likely to appeal to fans of Bon Iver, Mark Kozolek, Clint Mansell and anyone whose Easter dinner with the family went pear-shaped.

MP3 : Lifeless Satellites - Memory

Mad Dog’s Hustle (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

This is the soundtrack to a 1974 blaxploitation film entitled Mad Dog’s Hustle. The film was only shown for less than three weeks in six theaters nationwide before disappearing into a baron wasteland of low-budget, poorly marketed cinema. This vinyl only release will be available for the first time ever only on white vinyl (“the man” even turned vinyl records white).*

This is the first release from Secret Stash that was immediately up my funky alley. Sure, you can pick up the noted blaxploitation releases like Shaft, Superfly, Black Ceasar, or Coffy but when you want something unique with the classic gritty sound, Mad Dog's Hustle is your pimp. It's full of the social turmoils and the struggle of the black man during a turbulent time. Again, Secret Stash delivers on the artwork, title and even press it on oppression white vinyl. Take it from me, they don't release actual Blaxploitation soundtracks like this every day! Buy it.

New Video : The Hoof and The Heel : Fireworks (NSFW)

Montreal four-piece, The Hoof and The Heel released a new video, directed by Bryan Schlam, this past week. Schlam fell in love with the track and asked the band if he could direct. Their self-released debut EP, ...And All the Tigers, is out now. The video contains brief nudity, ya pervo.
