Karen Cooper Complex

once again, those lovely folks over at WFMU beat us all to the punch with another chunk of previously unknown avant/post-punk brilliance circa 1981, proving that no matter how much you shove yr nose in the dirt, there's always another truffle waiting to be dug up...



Shinjuku Birdwalk is available for dl over at the [Free Music Archive]

perfectly overlooked 2006 pdx dream drone on [weird forest]... cough syrup ghost music. the aural equiv of 2002 glass candy and ilitch stumbling around on a romilar jag...



added bonus, i threw in the 2008 [Them, Themselves or They] 7"/cdr on [malt duck records] and the [eat the people] cdr from 2005...

[cannibal aura]

thanks, ms. strobelight, the pleasure is mine...

The Makers of the Dead Travel Fast

simply amazing aussie postpunk band that was too far ahead for it's own good, spiritual brethren of the more whimsy infused side of ndw and foreshadowing the shadow ring/fonal recs ilk... [G'arage D'Or] gathers tracks from all four of their platters on the [M Squared] label from 1981-1983...



[Twisting Toxic Forms]

white ring

oh, [SALEM], what hath you wrought?

[o0o00], [///▲▲▲\\\], [balam acab], [MATER SUSPIRIA VISION], [DIAMOND BLACK HEARTED BOY], [GR†LLGR†LL], [B.W.], [PASSIONS]... the witch house/ghost crunk class of 2009 has officially graduated, but with a [Disaro] cdr and [troubleman] ep coming out soon, [WHITE RING] seems to stand tall in this quickly crowding field...

like listening to crystal castles while sipping purple drank...
