Lost Sounds – Black Wave (2001)
Bored Out is an incredible little blog, tumblr, err what have you. If you eat up the slime we rep on this site then you’ll faint when you see this shit. BO is run by a dude named Ryan Leach and includes concert photos, reviews, and best of all in depth interviews with the likes of Mark Sultan, Eric Friedl, Greg Cartwright, Jeffrey Novak, and even one with Jay Reatard from 2006. Speaking of Jay, Ryan recently published a Lost Sounds oral history, which I can’t recommend enough for fans and non fans alike. It does a terrific job of illustrating how bands like The Reatards and Lost Sounds were much more than mere stepping stones to Jay’s solo career. Well done Ryan.
Read it all here, it’s addictive: http://boredout305.tumblr.com/
Cumstain, one of America’s greatest bands is cumming across our holy land this August and September. Unfortunately, no Boston dates :(. Maybe I can make the trip to NYC :) If you aren’t a love of the stain, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear you, I’ll look the other way. I’m just going to leave this here for you http://cumstain.bandcamp.com/

Mister King Song Productions has new treats and trinkets, including tapes that feature some recordings he made from 1995-2000. A rock ‘n roll, raw masterpiece, the way it’s supposed to be. I’m so happy this is available!
Rubber Vomit records, t-shirts, pins, a zine, this is all in the online store. Incredible.
Get on it and feel good supporting one of the coolest, righteous minded persons in the game: http://www.kingsongproductions.bigcartel.com/
“Lovely chunk of burning slime from one of my Boston area faves Nice Guys and new kids Miami Doritos . The Miami Doritos side chugs like a bit of desert in the basement punk slam, exciting as shit to jump around to. Nice Guys pull out their deceptively tough chops in a multilayered shred on “Jamaican Vacation” and the completely nurts “Medical Envy”. All this good on sexy green or purple vinyl, which I have yet to see cause these stoners haven’t sent me one yet.” – Matt Lee, The Big Takeover
Big thanks to Matt Lee for writing about the Nice Guys/Miami Doritos Splifft 7″! Check out the rest of his top ten list here: http://www.bigtakeover.com/top-ten/Matt-Lee-140518
Order a seven incher for yourself, a friend or a foe from KLYAM Records: http://klyam.bigcartel.com/product/nice-guys-miami-doritos-splifft-7 Or you could pick one up from one of the following record stores:
Weirdo Records (Cambridge, MA), Armageddon Records (Cambridge, MA), Deep Thoughts (Jamaica Plain, MA), Goner Records (Memphis, TN), People’s Records (Detroit, MI), Hello Records (Detroit, MI), Bric A Brac Records (Chicago, IL), Apop Records (St. Louis, MO), CD Cellar (Arlington, VA), and Celebrated Summer (Baltimore, MD)
Lively duo Ed Schrader’s Music Beat have a new record out called Party Jail (Infinity Cat) and you can stream it all above. And get ready for this: they are playing Church on June 12th with SKIMASK, Gondoliers, and (New England) Patriots. Insane. Presented by Illegally Blind.
After a long, tiring, mind numbing work week I could use a band like Robot Death Kites. Fast, heavy, sludgy PUNK. Blistering anti-establishment that will knock fat corporate ogres flat on their fat fucking asses. Above is the band’s new music video for “No Thanks,” a song from their upcoming EP Yuppie Nightmare, which you can pre order here: http://robotdeathkites.bandcamp.com/
The EP release show is at Shea Stadium (Brooklyn, NY) on Saturday, June 7th. Sleep tight.
