XASTHUR - TO VIOLATE THE OBLIVIOUS

XASTHUR - TO VIOLATE THE OBLIVIOUS (2004)

You'll be needing this today.

MK cool !!

P.p.s. All in good time mister IGL , all in good time !!

DAWES - NORTH HILLS

If you've been disappointed with the last few Wilco records, are tired of putting the same few Band of Horses tracks on repeat, and need something to keep you from offing yourself Elliot Smith-style in this dead of winter from listening to too much of him or Bon Iver, then you should probably check out Dawes. These young gents from North Hills, CA really know how to tug on the heart strings and pull you towards the hopes of warmer weather, driving with the windows down, girls in skirts, and all the wonderful things that we Wonder Years-boys look forward to in the coming months. (I'm talking about the rad TV show from our childhood, not the corny band) So if you're in to nostalgic moments, CSNY, Being There - era Wilco, syrupy vocals, and a record to make out to this summer, then check out Dawes.

Big done !!

Finally done !! Hurra !!
Spent 3 days on this damn wall ! I either overestimated my capabilities or underestimated that wall but thinking I could get this big doodle done in one day was very ... How do you say ? Dumb ! Anywho ... Just finished and am happy to say I kicked that wall's ass !! Showed it who was boss !! Done and done ! Well ... Part one of ... 8 !! Yeah ... I'm taking a break and will most likely space these walls out a bit more than I thought but ... Expect some more of this giant doodle action in the months to come cuz more needs getting done !!

Hope you like this 8 by almost 3 meter piece ... I know I do !!


Oh yeah and guys ... This wallpaper busyness is hella-awesome looking but had I known how much of a pain in the ass putting it up could be , I might not have dared (thanks buddy Rob) !! Don't try this at home , people !!!


Tomorrow ... ? Normal sized doodles !

Stay awesome and ... If you get a second ... Let me know what you think !!


P.s. Absolutely !! To see this live (which is much much nicer) ... Check out First Cup in TST (bottom end of Pratt ave)

In progress !

Paint paint paint the big big wall at the bar , is all I've been doing for the last few days !! Here's a picture of a marketplace down my hood that has absolutely nothing to do with that ... Just to keep your eyes busy , ya know ?!! For the geeks out there , however ( SENSIA 100 cross processed with me beloved CANON Eos-RG) ! But trust me when I say ... That this painting wall busyness I've been working on is the awesomest wall piece I have done so far and you can't wait to see it !!! True story !!! Went all out on this first part of the bar !! Yep ... Wallpaper and fancy paints and all !! Should (I hope) be done tonight so start expecting a shot or 10 tomorrow (maybe) !!


Stay colourful !!

Down the road ...

More shots from the HK !!


Here's roll number two ! Taken just down the road ... On the East side of Nathan road around the general Jordan/Tsim Sha Tsui area !! Just so you know !!

SENSIA 200 / Canon Eos-RG >>>>>>






And yes ! That is indeed the official Dr. Seuss residence in Hong Kong !!

Tomorrow ... I start reclaiming space in a bar !! Have still no idea what I will paint all over that space yet but should come up with something sweet ... No doubt no doubt !! I'll , of course , be taking some shots of the first walls as soon as I'm done for the day tomorrow night !! So expect some cool giant doodles to be Plogged tomorrow or the next day !!






ROCK !

FORM A LOG - LOGGED AND LOADED

FORM A LOG -LOGGED AND LOADED (2009)

Form A Log is Noah from Social Junk, Ren from God Willing/Mercy Light etc., & Rick of The New Flesh literally playing cassettes and 4-tracks along with a large dose of 'consumption' [released by Human Conduct]. I'm not going to lie. This is almost hard for me to listen to at times. Still rules though. Lots of drum&bass loops with constant rewinding and fast-forwading atmospheric future/space overdubs. If you liked the Social Junk, you might dig this. Enjoy maybe? Probably not.

THE G - HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT

THE G - HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT (2008)

First demo by this lo-fi, fuzz-pop, post-grunge outfit from Philly. Ex-Fight Amp, The Funeral Bird, Gunna Vahm, and a bunch more. There's two drummers on this and I think the guitar is tuned to a banjo. Sup 90's? Buy their new LP

"The end is here, the end is here, we're all doomed."

Business rabbit ... in 3D !

Time is money !

Also in the news >>>>>
Yes ! It's true !! The Megabot piece on page 68 of the latest issue of Tattoo Energy (#62) that has the rather skillfully uniformed line "unknown artist" under it is indeed one of mine !! Always super sucks when that happens !! Makes you not want to send these zines any pictures at all !! Thanks , however , to my super spy network for spotting it so quickly and keeping me in the know !

Until the next post ... Homies and homettes , Stay fresh out there ... More Plogging from the fair shores of China very soon !!

LAST TO DIE - THROUGH THE EYES OF A FALLEN ANGEL

Dont have the artwork so that will have to do. This band was way way way way ahead of their time. They put this out around the same time as Unearth - Stings of conscience when they were sophomores in high school. The band broke up and a few of the guys in it went on to be in razorwrist which i posted.

Minor Threat - First Demo Tape

1. Minor Threat
2. Stand Up
3. Seeing Red
4. Bottled Violence
5. Small Man, Big Mouth
6. Straight Edge
7. Guilty of Being White
8. I Don't Want To Hear It

Found this little cutie stashed away after I ripped it a few months ago. Enjoy what was once a forgotten BYM update.

http://www.mediafire.com/?y2zn0toww2w

From the record insert:
"Three or four months after forming, Minor Threat went into Inner Ear Studios to record their first demo tape. Joining them were their friends Henry and Skip. The studio was located in the basement of Don Zientara's small house in Arlington, Virginia. The band set up and played in his kids' playroom while Don ran the 4-track tapedeck in the adjacent boiler room. Judging by the photos, the band had a great time, but for reasons now forgotten (songs too slow? not tight enough?) they decided to return to Inner Ear about a month later to record a second tape, which was released in June 1981 as Dischord No. 3."

Frank Sinatra- In The Wee Small Hours (1955)

THE essential chillax soundtrack, and the first of many artistic milestones in the long and illustrious collaboration of Frank Sinatra and arranger Nelson Riddle. Never before has Frank sounded so lonesome, vulnerable, and most importantly, so brilliant.
Throw this on at a low volume, pour some brandy, and sit back in your favorite recliner.
