Discogs notes on this album:
*Intelligence should be used for the benefit of humanity. Templates of drum and bass but tweeked beyond recognition, San Francisco’s Lesser delivers crunchy snares and overdriven bass frequencies with a heaping helping of skeptical humor, gritty digital noise, and DIY instrument-building ingenuity. Confrontational “intelligent” “electronic” “dance” “music.” Comes with “art” that you won’t understand.”
I once saw Jason Doerck cover Master of Puppets with A Minor Forest. It was one of the best things ever.

And now for my upper…
Maybe some Photek “Modus Operandi” afterwards to slow me down.

Blundertown is drowned in no brainstorm
smothered in mud at the foot of the river
the color vague is slapped around stupid
blood dries to a very dull color
I’m drowning and there is no relief from
it’s only 12,000 miles to heaven
but the car is broken and we’re all well-spoken
I’ve met three people but I don’t think they like me
and we all talk about the state of the weather
I’m drowning and there is no relief from
and everything I say are my own thoughts
don’t listen to my very dull brother
I’m drowning and there is no relief from

Karp: We Ate Sand (from Self Titled LP, 1997)
Stressful, busy day at work today. Somewhere in the middle of the afternoon I shut the door to my office and put my headphones on. Blared Karp into my ears while I worked. Made my whole day much better. Listening to Karp is like mainlining espresso.

Knight - Big Dog - Bones Brigade Video Tunes
Morning to neighbors
Yes, I’m going to get a dog, a big dog
One turd repels traffic,
Spoils make-up,
Ruins hairdo
Helicopters can’t get in close to neutralize
I’ll get a big dog,
He’ll bark even as he naps,
His bite will be venomous,
Cellulysis proteases phosphoesterases,
Leaving only splintered pitted bones,
And hydrolized ooze of ex-part-objects
Insurance won’t cover it
I’ll feed him acidarma,
Dissolves real estate

MC Shan - The Bridge - Down By Law
Some good history on this one: (via Wikipedia)
Edit: I think this might be a truncated file, but it’s still 5:02.Down by Law is the debut album by East Coast hip hop artist MC Shan. Released at the height of the Bridge Wars, a feud between artists from Queensbridge (such as MC Shan) and South Bronx (such as KRS-One), the album contains various dis tracks. The most prodigious of these disses are “Kill That Noise” and “The Bridge,” which was later re-created as “Da Bridge 2001” by various Queensbridge artists. The album is produced by Marley Marl. It was the only Cold Chillin’/Warner Bros. album that was never initially released on CD by its distributor. The album was not released on the compact disc format until 1995, long after the 5-year distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records ended. By this time Cold Chillin’ became independent and distributed its material solely, mostly from its back catalog. This CD pressing would only be available for a limited time and went out of print for a few years.

Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945 - In The Aeroplane Over the Sea
Okay, here’s my one NMH post. I’ve held off long enough and have nearly pulled the post trigger several times since I started this thing. It’s not that I don’t want to share such greatness. It’s just my assumption that anyone following my stream is probably already into them. So here it is.
BTW, pgwp, I still remember the week this album came out and your insistence that we listen to it in store. I gave you a hard time because you were interrupting our usual space rock evenings or spazz rock. Anyway, it didn’t take long for me to realize how amazing this album was, and seeing them live not too much later only solidified that belief.
