Boes By The Mae Shi

Statement: I am excited.

Explanation: I've got two songs from The Mae Shi to share with you. The first is a bonus track that I think makes a great album closer. Better than "Divine Harvest" which has all that pots and pans clanging at the end? Depends how much you like pots and pans, I guess. It does have a similar quality to "Divine Harvest." The uke(?) in both songs has a whole "Not with a bang but a whimper" quality. The second song I have for you is, how should I put this, CATCHY... some may call it "annoying-yet-catchy," but I call it simply catchy as I am not annoyed by slightly more than brief breaks into feedback.

Downloadables Deleted Because Of Complaint:
"Boes" (box.net mp3)
"The Melody" (box.net mp3)

Streamable: "Run To Your Grave" (youtube)

Mae Shi-ish BONUS: If you have not heard The Mae Shi-sample crammed "Run To The Facts" (mp3) by Yea Big + Kid Static, you probably don't read this blog very often, but it's ok, I forgive you. It was previously posted here and here and here.

The Monkeywrench is the grunge/blues supergroup that features Mark Arm and Steve Turner (Mudhoney), together with Tim Kerr (Poison 13, among others), Tom Price (Gas Huffer), and Martin Bland (Lubricated Goat). Props to BVegan for the scoop. Listen: "Low On Air" (mp3). And if you have not heard Clean As A Broke Dick Dog, buy it NOW (and save $0.10 when you get the mp3s).

Down To Rest By O'Death

Mining 2008.sxsw.com part 4

Seriously, if you are going to SXSW, you should know that O'Death are not to missed live. They take folkpunk and turn it up to "11" (sorry for the Spinal Tap ref, it just seemed like the right thing to do).
