let's start out with a little humor

hey ev'rybody! i'm derek; i've got a soft spot for japanese game shows now a days, if you enjoy dizzy boxing half as much as i do you might want to check out a few other good ones. nothing like watching people suffer pain and humiliation on a gameshow with the so purpose to make the audience laugh at the contestant's expense and have no real cash prizes. contact your local cable provider, tell them you want more television like this state side.


andrew jackson jihad, the self-proclaimed "raffi who says 'fuck'" just dropped their new album people that can eat people are the luckiest people in the world using the grassroots method of surprising the audience at their september 11th show by releasing it then. the album came as a surprise for andrew jackson fans everywhere because of the combination of how quite they kept it while working on the album and the rather high production quality on there new release. it is quite a different sound from everything i had heard from them before, it no longer just a guitar and a stand up base sound that i've grown to love from this small time arizona band. interesting trivia fact: bryn's old band there's no i in team decepticon opened for andrew jackson jihad in protland oregon.

i've been a long running fan of holy fuck from when they came out with their first ep, the combination of raw drum beats and a plug'n play electronic style. they're soon going to drop their third self-titled release with this one being their first full length lp. if you were lucky enough to get a hold of their limited ep that dropped earlier this year (i have it on vinyl,) you're already familiar with most of the songs on the new album but the new songs make it definitely worth picking up.
