Daytrotter
With all the skeevy mp3 blog sites (mostly illegal) out there its a rarity to come across great sites like Pandora and Daytrotter. It's also a delicacy to listen to free recordings that dont sound like they were recorded on a yak bak. Daytrotter was inspired by John Peel and is the baby of Sean Moeller and Patrick Stolley. They launched the site to exhibit live recodings of popular indie bands without the sacrifice of recording quality and $.99 out of your wallet. They feature popular indie bands such as Of Montreal and the French Kicks.
from source: Daytrotter’s recordings are known for their warm, fluid sound, the result of the studio’s candy shop of vintage gear, including a Rhodes piano, a Lowrey tube organ, and a dozen Spectra Sonic preamps. “We record straight to quarter-inch tape,” Moeller says. “There are no overdubs. No ProTools. What you hear on the site is exactly what happened that day.”

Les Rallizes Denudes
Japan has always played host to bands that have found a much larger following outside their own country then in their own, and the same holds true for Les Rallizes Denudes, a cult psychedelic group from Osaka.
The band relies heavily on distorted guitar and occasionally mysterious japanese lyrics. Well of course they're mysterious, they're Japanese.
Once you get to know a little more about the band, the more intriguing they become. In their original form in 1967, they were strongly connected with far left wing politics, and reguraly played at protest rallies, apparently at one point even overtaking a junior high school's yard and playing loud music while handing out fliers promoting Che Guevera, Lenin, and Nietzsche. It is also thought that lead guitarist/vocalist Mizutani Takashi had connections with 1970 hijacking of an airliner from Japan to North Korea by the Japanese Red Army.
More importantly though, LRD makes a powerful statement with its music. Its loud and distorted sound not only draws you in, but keeps you interested with its drifting sound.
They are often compared the The Velvet Underground, for reasons I can't seem to figure out.
Anyways, here are some downloads, because you can't go to the record store and buy any of thier stuff, and you'd have a pretty tough time finding it on ebay for cheap too.

S.O.S.
Somebody please help me I am being held against my will in Edgerton Wisconsin and have been here for about a month so far. I keep hearing strange noises about "fucking my pussy", or "slapping that ass real rough" coming from the vents in my bathroom.
Milwaukee Black Land Lady X goes at it on an average of maybe 4 times a week on the couch at the bottom of my stairs with only a thin wooden door to muffle her screams and hoots! Who knows what's going on down there!
Evidence gathered from me and Dr. Chris Hillis suggests that it's anything from her Ron Jeremy Cheech Marin look alike husband and his 10 inch dong "fucking that pussy harder than shit" while somebody pays to watch (don't laugh, it's true) to my 4'5'' 60 year old neighbor who lives with her 90 year old mom getting dildo'd by Milwaukee Black Land Lady X and her fat friend who drives the rape van.
I first became aware of Milwaukee Black Land Lady X's sexual addiction at my housewarming party when she offered Eddie Roemer a blow job, but only after he "got up in this shit", pointing to her vagina.
So please come over and if you cant take me away at least bring me whiskey or a fucking DVD player that works.

Check It
Bored? An inspired find due to the latest ATHF calamity.
"Banana Phone
This inconspicuous mobile device is actually a sinister weapon of mass destruction disguised as a ordinary cellular phone that you might see anyone on the street talking on. Or in the grocery store, or a not-too-fancy restaurant. However, beneath it's harmless exterior lies something far more Evil. Yes, with a capital "E." When you punch in the key combination 84370089#5672**6625303#0986562*94762#03487255558283645930298465210029489927346*#*##* this will instantly turn every person within a 4 mile radius who is using a cellular phone into a banana. A large, slightly ripe one, but a banana none the less. You might ask yourself how something like this is possible, and that would be a damn good question. Luckily there are scientists and stuff. "

A Weekend In The Shitty
Alright, alright, so the title of this post is a little uncalled for, but it was just too easy. Anyhow, for those of you who are cool enough to not know what I'm talking about, British indie-rockers Bloc Party have just released a new album entitled "A Weekend In The City".
In comparison to their 2005 debut album, "Silent Alarm", which failed to top the U.S. charts, I would say this one is.....better. Or more mature sounding, at least. Even though I have serious doubts about any chart-smashing #1 hits from the band anytime soon, it's a relatively enjoyable album with high energy indie songs like "Hunting For Witches" which follow in the wake of their early single "Banquet".
on a scale of 0-10, I'm giving this album a 6.

ATHF PWNS BOSTON
Boston authorities are quite frankly...retarded. The cartoon show Aqua Teen Hunger Force recently had an ad campaign in which LED boards were placed around various cities displaying a picture of a mooninite flippping the bird. Of the 10 cities the devices were placed in, Boston was the only city that deemed them a threat. The boards were placed around Boston by two men hired by Turner broadcasting. The men have now been charged with disorderly conduct and something called "placing a hoax device in a way that results in panc." The event already has its own wikipedia page: ATHF PWNS BOSTON
