OK boys, this is it. I'm finally taking the dive into Merzbow's Merzbox. 50 CDs showing the history of Masami Akita's progress, from his earliest works in 1979 and 1980, all the way through to the late '90s when he was already releasing all those classics you're most likely aware of if you're reading this review. All 50 discs being some of the most obscure in his discography, some being previously unreleased.
Why am I doing this? Don't even ask, because I haven't got a good explanation for ... read more

My new favourite GY!BE record, and it isn't even officially released. The absolute intensity of these performances, the pure energy, elevate these tracks so much, and make for a remarkable, wholly engaging listen. This is some of the best post-rock I've ever heard. Really deserving of my first GY!BE 10 (granted, LYSF and Slow Riot are long overdue an updated rating, but I digress). Excited to dive deeper into their bootlegs. If any others are even a fraction as good as this, then I'll be elated.

Simply put, Plastic Ono Band is Yoko's first classic, and arguably her best release. It shows her ... read more
This one's for those who post nerd emojis whenever someone talks about the mixing...
The raw, ferocious, hold-no-prisoners Iggy mix | VS. | The limp-dick, personalityless Bowie mix
This just goes to prove that the mix is very much important to the end result of the music. Some of y'all may want to block your ears and scream at the top of your lungs, "Stop being a nerd and enjoy the music!" but that doesn't change the facts. Bowie was undoubtedly a master of his craft. He was ... read more
Y'all wanna talk about scaring the hoes?
You listen to Brainbombs - Obey to cringe and complain about edgelord lyrics.
I listen to Brainbombs - Obey to laugh, and appreciate the hard, repetitive, noisy punk riffs.
We are not the same.

Kind of surprised you haven’t heard the model/actriz album from earlier this year, seems like something you’d be a fan of.
