War - Why Can't We Be Friends


I like this. I know it's mainstream (OH THE HORROR) and that it's all over the place but I'll still post it. Perhaps some lost soul didn't hear this yet. Ironically their most popular song "Lowrider" is my least favorite song by them. Nevertheless it's not really bad but just least favorite. In any case, enjoy this funk classic.

Tracklist:

01. Don't Let No One Get You Down (3:59)
02. Lotus Blossom (3:59)
03. Heartbeat (7:25)
04. Lonnie Dreams (0:49)
05. The Way We Feel (1:10)
06. La Fiesta (2:10)
07. Lament (2:27)
08. Smile Happy (7:22)
09. So (4:48)
10. Low Rider (3:11)
11. In Mazatlan (2:45)
12. Why Can't We Be Friends? (3:49)

Second part here.

Ni Hao! - Gorgeous


Ni-Hao! produce the kind of multi-part vocal gymnastics and booty-shaking bass-rock that either delights or irritates depending on your margin of tolerance towards exuberant Japanese child-women.

The Kyoto-based all-girl trio were originally comprised of drummer Green Reo and bassists Red Ariko and Blue Yukari, also a member of Limited Express (has gone?). They released a clutch of mini-albums called Red and Blue on Seiichi Yamamoto’s label Ummo Records before their full-length debut Gorgeous on Tzadik in 2005. This was followed by another mini-album entitled New-Hao! in 2006, in which the trio abandoned their bass-bass-drums set-up for a keyboard-driven pop direction.

In 2007, drummer Reo left the band and has since been active in ULTRA Jr. Now reduced to a duo, Ni-Hao! are on an extended sabbatical while Yukari raises her new-born son.

I have yet to find a Tzadik release that I don't like.

Sunn O))) - Monoliths and Dimensions

This is my new favorite album by Sunn.

There's a good review of it on Glowing Raw blog.

Get it here.

Tsutomu Nihei - Biomega


Ok ok, before you call me a liar and an attention whore let me explain. I uploaded this before my crash along with two other mangas. :D

I'll post the other ones soon as well.

Biomega came out a bit after Niheis most famous work Blame. It serves as some kind of prologue of Blame though some parts are inconsistent (or at least to me).

In any case the story goes something like this: Toha Heavy Industries send a synthetic human agent to save surviving pure gene humans from some mega city that's built on an artificial island. The situation in there went chaotic because of this weird virus that came from Mars. I'll stop here but I'll just mention one more thing. There's a talking bear in the plot! A BEAR! A BEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR.

The art, as usual is exceptional. Not quite the atmosphere of blame. There is a lot more talking and there's "Story so far" chapters at each volume for those that have a hard time following Niheis way of narration and his overall tendency to fuck everything up.

At the end there's a major change in the art. It could mean that his other future works will go along that path? I don't know, haven't read his latest works. It might disappoint those who liked his morbid and dark drawings like in Abara or Blame.

In any case, if you are a fan of Nihei you already should have read this. If not, well here's the chance. If you are not familiar with his works this is a good place to start. Not to mention the overall cyberpunk masturbation that we all absorb gladly (that came out weird).

Part 1 and 2.

Shit news people!


One of my hard drives decided to die.

I feel like USA after Pearl Harbor. :(

So what does this has to do with you?

It means that there will be no manga, artbooks and guro for a while until I replenish my stuff because they were all on that particular hard drive. I also lost a great deal of music (around 100gb) but my pirate ship has a hull of 2TBs so the damage can be called menial in that area. Eh this is really shity. I never thought this would happen to me. >:|

AND PORN. HOLY SHIT. I LOST ALL MY PORN.

All your life achivements together can't compare to this.



Massive uploads of everything coming soon!
