Double Dagger - "The Mirror" My brain is fine, but my body has mental problems. My body is a stupid, lumbering animal. My body is silent almost all of the time, but when it speaks, it speaks in illiterate, bleating...
Transcendental Weaponry
(Photography by Kevin Baluff.) In 2013, minimalism is making a lot of sense. Fire, too. It’s hard to describe why brass can sometimes be such a great communicator, but certainly in the right hands and lungs a honking saxophone can be supremely lyrical. This horn’s thudding, pulsing bleats are industrial and rusty. It sounds like... Read the full post »

Trouble Will Find Me
The National have come out with a new album, Trouble Will Find Me. My first thoughts are good ones. The album is filled with beautiful slow anthem melodies, mixed with calm melancholy lyrics. The National always do a great job of blending Berninger‘s deep remorseful vocals with a minimalist guitar and beat driven arrangement. The [...]
How You Know The Magic’s Right
Daft Punk with Panda Bear “Doin’ It Right” I have a lot of mixed feelings about Daft Punk’s new album, and for the most part I’m not feeling it, but I have no reservations about loving this song. Yes, I do wish it was faster and I’m holding out for a superior remix, but at [...]

[Playlist] Ninebullets Radio – 05.18.2013 – 88.5FM WMNF Tampa
Sorry I missed posting last week’s playlist. I’m also sorry for the erratic posting schedule last week. I was in the grips of a pretty deep depression and was unable to muster the strength to do anything. That said, I am feeling a little better this week so let’s get this Monday started right by [...]

Drvg Cvltvre has been living up to his name with freaky edits (including one for our own Jokers Of The Scene), remixes and original tracks. He put together a DJ mix for our FOOLCAST series, and it seriously bumps. If you’re asking about a track list, Mr Cvltvre explains this was “recorded live, so I’ll [...]

Would I Ever See The Exit Door
Classixx featuring Nancy Whang “All You’re Waiting For” The key word in the title here is “waiting” – it’s a song about counting down the seconds to see somebody, and the nervous energy that goes into anticipating that moment. The little nuisances along the way to that moment seem like more of a hassle than [...]
Ecology of Eden
Having spent almost two weeks trapped in the throbbing FTL Drive of Stellar OM Source’s Joy One Mile has led us to develop a theory about the constitution of its sound. Here we outline this theory, contrast it with the reality of its making, and find a poetic way of integrating both things. The theory: ... Read the full post »
Almost Missed: San Francisco’s Cool Ghouls’ Debut Album
On April 23rd, the San Francisco band Cool Ghouls released their self-titled debut album, featuring stand-out tracks like “Ballin,” and “Natural Life” and “In The Morning,” and we almost missed it. Even though they have a decidedly ’60?s psychedelic rock/country guitar twang sound, mixed with unmistakable hippie pop infusions and funky rhythms, Cool Ghouls don’t [...]Show More Summary
