The Atomic Buddha - Blottered CD
The Atomic Buddha's "Blottered" is a 10 track collection of pounding garage rock. Each of these songs is an unapologetic mash of raucous guitars, bass, drums and vocals careening from hallucinogenic depths to the sharp ends of accusation. Along the way are some raw psychedelic blasts (I'm So High, Fading Fast) and some pile driving rock with the energy of The Who (Ginger Baker's Nightmare, You're Not In Reach). It all ends with "The Atomic Buddha" an 11 minute guitar freak out-not for the timid! All copies bought through the label webpage will ship with a link for a digital download of nine demo songs from the sessions. Digital download of the album is available here. CD contains two songs not included on the digital download and is available here.

Crotchthrottle - Fictional Syntax CD
Has it really been two years since the last full-length release from this fever dream of a band? That's what the calendar tells us, but we haven't really been sure of anything since the last dose of quinine. Following in the footsteps of Everything Odder Than Everything Else, Fictional Syntax finds Crotchthrottle sinking even further into the morass that is "structured" music, embracing things like melody, rhythm, and occasionally even intelligible vocals. They still remain totally obtuse on the genre front, swerving from quasi-electronic shenanigans to fuzzy freakouts, sometimes within the same song. When asked "What the hell were you thinking?" by management, the band refused to elaborate in any legally binding format. 16 tracks. Digital download of the album is available here or you can pick up a copy of the CD at the label webpage. The first 25 copies sold will get a special gift, hand packaged by the band!

Heroin's Rainbow by Eric Baylies is a memoir of a neighborhood and a city. New Bedford, Massachusetts sits somewhere on the edge of nowhere, a twilight interzone at the end of the world. It is the underground history of the secret city. Big Dan's, strip club rampages, cruising the avenue, crooked cops, high school suicide solutions, drinking problems, crack houses, shooting galleries, gay bar stabbings, god, guns, heroin, devil dogs, angel dust, acid, mushrooms, mescaline, weed, whales, wishes, dreams, and nightmares come true, they are all here. This is the way, step inside.
You can pick up a copy of the book at the label website.

75OL-163 Jeff the Postman - The Postman Speaks
Jeff the Postman, 'The Postman Speaks' is a collaboration between Prescott Cronin and poet Jeff the Postman. The words on this recording were written by Jeff the Postman. The entire process from inspiration, conception, practice, to production occurred in 02885, the smallest town, in the smallest county, in the smallest state in the U.S.A. Jeff the Postman offers his eternal thanks to all his neighbors who let him practice his delivery. This project was tracked entirely on an iPhone, using samples and live instruments, at 90 Union, except for "As a Guest," which was recorded in the elevator at Parker Mills in Warren, RI. 'The Postman Speaks' is an epic work that exemplifies what can be done these days with small equipment and conviction. 150 silkscreen copies on compact disc, you can purchase a copy at the label webpage.

High-Rise - J.G. Ballard (Liveright)
High-Rise is set in a 40 story self sufficient apartment complex. For about a year (preceding the actual pages of the book) the operations of the building and the community within operate harmoniously. Things then take a turn for the worst. Floors throughout the complex form fighting factions and a tribal warfare begins; pitting 3 main characters (one from each social strata) against each other. Conditions degrade quickly, as the organization devolves into factional fighting and finally guttural individual desires and needs. This book was written in 1975, but it is a timeless observation on class, and repressed human instinct. What kind of high-rise do you live in?

Grouper - Man Who Died in His Boat (1,2,3,4,GO!)
According to Wikipedia, grouper (the species of fish) swallow their prey whole. The same can be said for the music of Grouper. It is dark, somber, beautiful ambiance. Acoustics strum in canyons of reverb while soundscapes and whispered vocals rise and fall. Rhythm never comes into play. There is a sameness to this music from song to song, but it is safe to say that Grouper has a sound all its own.

Joe Mecca's Big Mouth podcast
If there's anyone in the Rhode Island area who should have a microphone in front of his face, it's Joe Mecca. As someone who had the pleasure of talking face to face with him for a decade, I have missed being exposed to his worldview for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier to listen to him expound on a variety of topics. So, what's this "pubcast" all about? It's Joe Mecca's opinion on the role of government, politics at the national and state level, how Joe would solve the problems we face, how to cook a giant pig, which certain words that make the co-host most uncomfortable, and sports. Co-host and producer RSB wryly brings out the best in Joe Mecca, allowing enough sidetracks to keep things breezy, but always steering Joe back to the original topic. Recorded very matter of factly by placing a microphone on a table between them at the Wild Colonial Tavern, be prepared for the clanking of beer mugs and passersby stopping at the table to say hello. You can also expect the conversation to end at any time after twenty minutes, replaced with searing death metal from Providence band White Mice to scare the shit out of your comfortable listening experience and bring the show to a close.

Matter-of-factly divorced and wide open for any conversation no matter how heartbreaking or absurd, Holmes is a true weirdo, regularly expressing wonderment and joy as he interviews his guests. Episodes usually run over ninety minutes. Be prepared to stick around until he begs his guest to keep it crispy.

Steve Agee's Uhhh podcast
During it's first run, this was arguably one of the worst prepared, worst organized podcasts to ever get past ten episodes. Steve Agee's Uhhhh podcast had no agenda and very few surprises. It's pretty common now to hear the hosts of podcasts threatening to stop the show because it's going to poorly, but how many have actually done it? Agee has multiple times and check out the first ten episodes from his original show for proof. (Also, find the episode where he tells the story of Liv Tyler begging him to go to a party with her when he just wants to lay on a futon.) So why was it one of my favorite podcasts? Because Agee is an underdog. He also reminds me of someone I grew up with who is now in jail. He's been dumped on x-mas, played a gay man on The Sarah Silverman Show, and is 6'6" in real life. His back story, originally moving to LA to be a musician before switching to comedy and having his acting dreams temporarily halted by some vengeful improv classmates, instantly makes you root for him. Agee is a one of us. He is obsessed with DeGrassi High, the original long-running Canadian teen soap opera, dedicating at least two full episodes to in depth interviews with original cast members. He also has some surprisingly sprite bass playing skills and the most bizarre of Hollywood buds - Ellen Page and Juliette Lewis, for example. After going just over a year without a new episode, Agee's 'Uhhh' has returned with new episodes in August, featuring an interview with actress and musician Juliette Lewis. Agee is proof that having a podcast should be as easy as turning on a microphone and speaking about your life for a little bit. If it's interesting, talk a lot. If you don't have much going on, cut it short. Hopefully, the guys at Feral Audio can keep him motivated and on a regular schedule of recording.

Hollywood Babble-On podcast with Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman
Movie director and podcast network pioneer Kevin Smith teams up with LA radio dj/actor/voice over specialist Ralph Garman to bring you Hollywood Babble-On, a weekly live show that covers all things movies and entertainment. Ralph Garman is the star of the show and Smith is the good natured sidekick. Picture Entertainment Tonight if the hosts hated the people they were reporting on, as Garman's outright hatred of all things Chelsea Handler, Kim Kardashian, and talentless but privileged Hollywood children is cruel and pure comedy gold. Regular segments include Hollywood Stiffs, Lindsay Lohan, Porn Star Kim Kardashian, Things That Should Not Be, Exquisite Acting, Hollywood Helper, Shout Outs, Kev-In, and each show ends with Liam's Neeson's Cock (which replaced the Anne Hache's Butthole segment.) Regular impressions include the ever-evolving creepy clown, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Pacino, Ed Wynn, Harrison Ford, David Lynch, Aaron Neville, David Bowie, Bill Cosby, and John Travolta's "Gay Ghost" . When Smith is out promoting his films, fill-in hosts who have subbed in for Kevin Smith include Jon Lovitz, Patton Oswalt, Kathy Reitman, and others. After nearly one hundred episodes over two years, there is now talk of a tv show. That should end well, probably with Garman's assassination.

Professor Blastoff podcast
Broadcasting from an abandoned hatch underground, four friends - Tig Notaro, Kyle Dunnigan, David Huntsberger, and Mormon researcher Aaron Burrell - with nothing more than a layman's understanding of complex concepts and theories, attempt to discuss topics none of them can fully grasp. Luckily, they always have an expert guest, so that when they are done cracking wise about these deep topics - such as quantum physics, immortality, or morals - the hosts as well as the listener will come away with a better understanding of it.Their lack of expertise is quickly forgotten due to their charm and smart-alecky questions and comments. Lighthearted and with arguably the best chemistry of any current podcast hosting team, they end every show with personal messages for people who donated, read listener emails, proudly declaring their love of swamp rock, encouraging everyone to don a Tig Wig, and contribute a few chaotic ad readings and random barbershop quartet choral breaks. Available at the Earwolf Site. Update: This was actually written back in June, prior to Tig Notaro's cancer diagnosis. Obviously, the entire dynamic and scope of the podcast has changed into one with moments of inspiration and hope, in addition to the humor. We wish Tig a speedy recover and send all the goodwill possible in her direction.

Fitzdog Radio podcast
Greg Fitzsimmons became part of our subconscious as the host of MTV's Idiot Savants back in 1996. Now, he is older, wiser and really doesn't take any shit. These shows are very autobiographical and seem to have a very loose topic, basically catching his fans up on the details of his personal and professional life. He always travels with his recorder and manages to grab 10-15 minute interviews with other comics before their sets and he is also quick to do interviews with his opening acts, who are typically well known regionally, but never get to tour outside of their area. Bluntly honest, whether it's about his rage issues, ADHD, the terrible things he did while in college, or TV project after TV project failing to get off the ground, Fitzsimmons can quickly reverse into takes of his obsession with being a dedicated family man to his wife and kids. He's been in the business for many years and knows every comic with any measure of success, which is reflected by his guests. The mutual respect is always on display and no host collapses into laughter more than Fitzsimmons and his friends.

Low Times podcast
The Best Show's Tom Scharpling gets to flex his music muscles with this interview-based podcast, hosted along with Daniel Ralston and Maggie Serota. Indie and alternarock royalty - Lou Barlow, Mark Robinson, Peter Prescott, Tommy Stinson, Dean Wareham, Ben Lee, Greg Cartwright, Gary Waleik, among others - provide the deepest interviews of their careers, as Scharpling asks the nitty-gritty questions hardcore fans have always wanted to know. Usually starting with the early days and working their way through their careers with plenty of sidetracks, you'll find out how the bands came to be, how the albums were recorded, why the bands broke up, what dealing with the major labels was really like, and a lot of the times, how much money they never made. The target audience for this is over 35 year old indie rockheads and that's perfectly fine with me.

Ronna and Beverly podcast
Ronna and Beverly and portrayed by Jamie Denbo and Jessica Chaffin. These two ultra Jewish middle age women are located in Marlborough, Mass and have their guests join them on the "east coast" when they are in the area. Ronna is the bright one, who tries to talk some sense into her friend Beverly, who is always offensive and only gets more offensive as she tries to explain how she didn't mean to be offensive the first time. Whether she's defending her children who get expelled from college for wearing blackface, directly insulting the show's guests to their faces, or farting and denying it before sheepishly admitting it and then farting again, her offensiveness is her most admirable trait. Each show starts and ends with a 15 minute discussion with a guest coming in for the middle 30 minutes.

The Dana Gould Hour podcast
Longtime Simpson's contributor Dana Gould finally gets into the podcast game. Whether he's bitching about losing the Dana Gould twitter handle to a lawyer with no followers or posts or frequently taking a turn into dark subject matter, there is always a one liner that blasts the mood right back into laughs. Frequent stories of growing up in a house with a badass father and four older brothers, one of which is a cop and another a firefighter (find the clip of his hard-assed father walking in the house after a long day at work to find him watching David Bowie on Saturday Night Live). Broken up into segments such as 'Political Talk with Two Guys from Boston', two air conditioning specialists who never do manage to discuss politics, as they are distracted by things like the new sandwich at Dunkin Donuts. Also, frequent guest Eddie Pepitone is the owner of the second most contageous laugh in the world (Pete Holmes is #1).

Bob Kendall - Midnight Flower
It's been a decade since Bob Kendall released his debut solo record "Enough is Enough" on his own Kentone Records label. The founding member of the bands Lifeboat, The Blood Oranges, The Brothers Kendall, and The Labor Pool has finally let go of this collection of songs written, self-produced and recorded in his backyard shed. The title track, "Midnight Flower" features vocals by Tanya Donelly. (Belly, Throwing Muses, The Breeders) "Donelly adds a certain visceral, seventh sense - and conjures up weary-wise tones of Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris" (Influenza). Muses drummer, David Narcizo, once again provides his trademark style of hypnotic rhythms throughout the record. Kendall's songs have been described as "telling tales of recrimination and self-deception". Song styles and influences are reminiscent of Jeff Tweedy, Teenage Fan Club, Tom Petty, Ian Hunter, The Velvet Underground and Gram Parsons. Mixed and fixed by Kraig Jordan and mastered by Pete Weiss at Verdant Studios. Check out the Bob Kendall facebook page, download the track Ready Still, and pick up a copy of the cd at the label webpage.

Tom Scharpling - The Best Show on WFMU
The long running Best Show on WFMU (They recently celebrated their 500th episode) is a slow burner that pays off once you get to know all the reoccurring characters and guests. Host Tom Scharpling is an indie rock fan boy veteran, who ended up producing the tv show 'Monk' for a number of years and also recently directing music videos for bands like the New Pornographers. The man has amazing friends, whether it's Ted Leo, Paul F. Tompkins, Julie Klausner, John Hodgeman, or any number of the regular callers he gives the ol' "Heave-ho" to once he is tired of them. Musician Jon Wurster gets to flex his comedic muscles, calling in almost every show under a variety of guises and characters that always end up blowing themselves up or getting murdered by a woman named Sheila Larson. Whether he is threatening to make every show his last, battling AP Mike, or drinking Four Loco until he is literally curled up in a ball under the board, he is always obsessed with indie rock, Paul McCartney, and GG Allin. Scharpling knows his music history and if you decide to call in, you better make sure you have your facts straight.

Sklar Brothers - Sklarbro Country podcast
The Sklar twins, Randy and Jason, should be well known to sports fans due to their long lost classic ESPN's Cheap Seats and their latest show 'United Stats of America' . Their sports comedy podcast is like no other, as they concentrate on criminal acts and cheating by athletes from all over the world (find the "poop glove" episode for proof). Every show ends with a fake guest segment thanks to their friends in the comedy world with amazing voice impersonation skills. It might be Bruce Jenner calling from under his house hiding from his wife or Tim Gunn talking about his love for MMA fighting. They also have a healthy fixation on indie rock and play parts of songs as they come and go out of each segment - there's also the chance of an in-studio performance.

Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast
Even though he lives on the west coast now, every word out of Burr's mouth reflects his upbringing in the bitter cold of Boston. If there's one thing Burr may always be known for, it's heroically taking on a hostile Philadelphia audience and handing them their heads before walking off to a standing ovation. Whether he's explaining his distaste for alt-comics for cherry picking their audiences or getting shushed in the middle of the show by security while recording in a hotel room on the road, there's no production values and very rarely any guests - just one man, one microphone, and one dog. The show catches his fans up on his past week and dishes out advice to fans in predicaments, an underrated/overrated list, recommended youtube videos, before ending with his signature sign-off "Go fuck yourselves."

Mission of Burma - Unsound (Fire Records)
After 33 years, any band could be forgiven for easing up a little, but Mission of Burma refuses to take that ticket. Their vital skronk remains potent as ever, and they've added new elements with moments of horns, some almost-funky wah spaz-outs, and some new aggressive fuzz on Roger Miller's guitar. But frankly, that's all icing. If you don't know how good MoB is by now, you just don't deserve this album.

The Hunting Accident - 10 inch EP (This is the New Black)
The Hunting Accident's new 10" vinyl arrived this week, a follow-up to their debut 7 inch released in August 2011. Featuring former members of Burning Brides, Piebald, and Arlo, this is pressed on heavy duty black vinyl and instead of your traditional album packaging, you get a screen printed sheet of wood paneling. Six songs, including an organ drenched version of Robyn Hitchcock's 'Sometimes I Wish I was a Pretty Girl'. The weird thing is, I cannot find anywhere to purchase this 10" release, nothing on the band's website and nothing at the label webstore. You can hopefully grab it directly from the band at some of their upcoming live shows.

Soul Junk - 1961
Soul-Junk has a new full length album, "1961", available for digital download. Their immense discography started out with rock, went into bizarro hip hop for a few albums, before returning to their rock band-based roots. No matter the genre or approach, one thing remains constant and that is their praise of Jesus Christ, Son of God. I have always considered the religious part of their music to just be one more unique characteristic about the band, and have never let it distract me from the music itself, which is truly original. Known for frequently rotating members of the band, this album has Glen Galaxy backed by members of his actual family, now including his twelve year old son Jude on drums and five year old singer/percussionist daughter Mila. The entire album is streaming and available for purchase at their bandcamp page.

Six Star General - Splinter
(From Providence Phoenix March 2012): Their eighth studio effort, Splinter, finds guitarist Kyle Jackson, drummer Dan Ulmschneider, and bassist/vocalist Mark MacDougall peaking hard through concise and potent bursts of stoner sludge. Alt-rock fossils still hooked on vintage Dinosaur Jr., Silkworm, and Archers of Loaf should dig deep into their back catalog. Splinter was recorded in five sessions over two months, a marathon by SSG standards. Credit producer and local veteran musician Kraig Jordan (also of the Masons), who's Plan of a Boy studio has become the go-to recording spot for SSG. Layers of Kyle Jackson's guitar work resonate across Splinter on cuts "Curved Nerves" and "Triple EEE", and if you listen closely, you'll hear Jordan yelling through a bullhorn with swirling echoes. 75orLess brethren Mark Cutler, Bill Keough (Galvanize), and Joe Traynor (Vertical Twin) conjure a garage rock choir on a few tracks, including the opener "Ungroovy Feeling," and the band reworked two cuts from the previous EP. Nine tracks in all, you can download the track Curved Nerves, and buy a copy of the cd at the label webpage.

The Masons - Warm Days Long Shadows
It was 2007 when we last heard from The Masons. In the 5 years that have followed The Masons have sharpened, honed and refined their signature sound. They ask each song what it wants, and then give each song what it needs. The results of "The Masons' Method" is Warm Days Long Shadows. 22 songs over 2 CDs, the new double album is permeated with songs about life in the 21st Century. Warm Days features The Masons' rock 'n roll credentials with big guitars, pulsing drums and anthemic choruses. Long Shadows delves deeply into keyboard laden atmospheres, slow tempos, softly strummed acoustic guitars, and majestic vocals. Warm Days Long Shadows is the perfect soundtrack for a summer's night, a winter's day or any weather pattern. You can download the track 'Get Up', watch a video of the song 'The Only Way', and purchase a copy of the cd at the label webpage.

Buell Thomas - In The Air (Big Blue)
I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with Buell Thomas in the early 1990s. Many a smoke saturated Saturday afternoon were spent listening to music, talking about music and playing music. Now it's 2012 and Mr. Thomas has a record called In The Air that seems to be an extension of those Saturdays long ago. I can hear multiple influences on this record from The Beatles (Billy Preston era) & 1970s Nashville to Burt Bacharach and a spoken word piece called Right Now that could have been on Sun Ra's Heliocentric Worlds Vol. I. This is music to make you feel good; just like a Saturday afternoon. You can listen or purchase the album here.

The Sentimental Favorites - The Unrelenting Sentimental Favorites
The Sentimental Favorites are a no nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is Providence RI duo of seasoned entertainers. On The Unrelenting Sentimental Favorites, their sophomore effort five years in the making, they have plenty to say and do so in 31 songs about work, life, growing old, death, family, what's wrong with the world today and how that cigarette makes you look fat. It's almost like a billboard for Medicare Florida would put up. The first 25 copies include a poster with lyrics. Digital downloads are available here, you can download the track Litterbugs, watch a video for the track Hey Sonny, and purchase a copy of the cd at the label website.
