Dead Weather - Test Pressing LP

Ebay madness and just wanted to share this with you all, my dearly beloved readers. Up for grabs for already $1,125 with 8 days of bidding to go, is a test pressing LP of Dead Weather. Limited to 150 copies with sleeves hand-drawn by the members and then shot them with their machinegun, leaving a bullethole in each record. These 12"s were only available at the opening of the Third Man Store. You want one don't you?

Hello=Fire - s/t LP

Hello=Fire = Dean Fertita. Nuff Said. I never really liked his first band The Waxwings, but every band the man has been in since deserve nothin' but respect. Which bands you say? Well, how about Queens Of The Stone Age? The Raconteurs? The Dead Weather? Yeah, that Dean Fertita! Apparently between and during touring with all these bands, he managed to record his first solo-album under the moniker Hello-Fire, with a little help from his friends of course. Almost everyone in QOTSA lends a helping hand, Brendan Benson of The Raconteurs contributes on half the tracks and there's even someone from Afghan Whigs on here! Sounds good to me. On this self-titled debut album, Fertita is supposed to bridge the gap between rock! and spacey melody! I guess that would be progrock then, but we'll just have to wait and see. For now, pre-order "Hello=Fire" on limited 180g vinyl edition from Rhythm Online or don't.

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.
