Russian Circles - Geneva 2xLP Pre-orders

Here it is at last. Sargent House put the pre-orders up for the "Geneva" 2xLP by Russian Circles. It comes on 180g vinyl and one can chose between either black or clear vinyl. There's also a pre-order bundle available with an exclusive t-shirt designed by Ryan Patterson (from Coliseum, The National Acrobat, Black Cross and a million other Louisville,KY bands) which will set you back $40 in total.

I've been waiting a long time on this record, not only because I adored their 2 previous albums, but also because Brian Cook (of Botch) joined them as fulltime member, and last but not least because "Geneva" was produced by Brandon Curtis, yeah, the same Brandon Curtis from The Secret Machines, who also plays some piano on here. Pre-order now from Russian Circles

These Arms Are Snakes - Washburn LP

Seattle's These Arms Are Snakes are getting ready to release their new LP called "Washburn" on Suicide Squeeze Records. I'm excited, so without any word on ordering information yet, I figured this might be the time to report about the TAAS Top 500 songs of the decade. Brian Cook of TAAS, Botch and Russian Circles fame devised this list of songs to give a well meant and well deserved 'up yours' to Pitchfork and that crappy list of theirs. So, enjoy the These Arms Are Snakes Top 500 list!

HISTORY OF HEX

Born and raised in the 80s, my first music purchase ever was Metallica's "Kill Em All". After that, Guns N Roses and Maiden followed, to become submerged in the booming hardcore scene and into the likes of Kindred, Biohazard, Congress, Snapcase, Boy Sets Fire, Liar, Culture, Morning Again, etcetera. In the late 90s my attention shifted more towards bands such as Botch, Converge, Coalesce, Cable, Rorschach, Deadguy, Starkweather, Reversal Of Man, Charles Bronson and the likes, as well as all the emobands coming out like Mineral, Elliott, Texas Is The Reason, Cursive, Waxwing, Joshua, etc. Then I got older. Nowadays, my tastes range from Appleseed Cast to Animal Collective, from Black Mountain to Burzum, from Cat Power to Converge, from Damien Jurado to Down, from Earth (hence the name of this blog) to Elliott, from Forensics to Fugazi, from Girls Vs Boys to Grizzly Bear, from Harkonen to Hey Mercedes, from Isis to I Am Kloot, from Jesu to Jucifer, from Karate to Koop, from Liars to Leviathan, from Mineral to Mastodon, from Neurosis to No Warning, from Om to Owls, from Pelican to Phosphorescent, from Q and not U to Quetzal, from Radiohead to Racebannon, from Samothrace to Sunn0)), from These Arms Are Snakes to Two Gallants, from Ulver to Unbroken, from Venetian Snares to Vampire Weekend, from Wolf Parade to Waxwing, from Xiu Xiu to Xasthur, from Yob to Young Widows, from Zombi to Zoroaster. Yeah, that was fun, thanks for asking.
