First thing that came to mind on this one, was how horrible Psilocybin mushrooms taste (don't ask me how my brain works). Some people could handle them, some even enjoyed them, but I was more the peanut butter and crackers type, or better yet steeped in tea. What do you know, an ex-drunk druggie thinking about drugs...hahaha. Don't really get cravings anymore for the addictive shit, but I'll be damned if I don't feel like taking a little trip.
Been acquainting myself with some industrial music, both the classics and some more recent stuff, trying to broaden my musical horizons. There may be sub-genres within the industrial framework, but I haven't learned the art of differentiating those yet...ambient, noise, drone, etc. This industrial thing makes great listening while multitasking on the computer, but would really go well with a couple of caps and stems. Here's some old and new stuff for your sampling pleasure, be sure to look into buying their stuff, these industrial bands tend to be very prolific and have a buttload of releases...
Esplendor Geométrico - Unidad De Control
Blue Sabbath Black Cheer & Pig Heart Transplant - Untitled
Cyrnai - Parts Of The Insomnic Wheel 03
The Guilt Øf… - Social Recall Rewind
Ivs Primae Noctis - Solo Odio
Throbbing Gristle - No Two Ways/Last Exit
Nuisance is a band that we've visited before in the form of their Attractive Nuisance demo. One of very few Humboldt bands to have an impact outside of Humboldt (Mr. Bungle was a big one that comes to mind, still need to post a demo or two of theirs), but I guess they had to move away to do that. That says nothing about the dynamic nature of the Humboldt scene though, which is vibrant and unique. Before I go any further, the full content of the Nuisance part of this post was completely stolen from Little Records I Have Loved, but these days blogs are disappearing faster than liquor at a bar, his is an apparently dead blog with no recent updates, and I don't want this lost in time...plus it goes good with the Humboldt stuff floating around here. Do your self a favor and read his post (while it lasts), he really has some good insights and a love for the music. Anyway, this is a Humboldt band, but this is a Santa Rosa release if that makes sense and as I said I got to see them play live when I first got up to Humboldt. It's funny, some guy got after me in a comment for calling these guys poppy on the other post, but on this 7", which I like better and more closely resembles the live experience I had, they are sort of a punky kind of hardcore, even some metal riffage thrown in. The drummer really shines on this, can't get enough of that rat-a-tat-tat. You can pick up a copy of this bad boy at Discogs for $5. Three very different tunes here, but I'd say my favorite is the first one.
Terminal Fuckup King Rat Sungod
EDIT: This is my rip of the 7"... [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2i2g9sDEi8&w=560&h=315]
