The pairing of CSS and Tiny Masters Of Today is a typically improbable one, the bands have never met in real life but became friends via MySpace, corresponding for over a year before finally coming up with an appropriate project to collaborate on.
Adriano Cintra from CSS explains, "I first heard of Tiny Masters on MySpace. I got really crazy about them, I wanted to have younger brother and sister like them. Kinda of, hey, let's make party songs for when we get older... now I am older and I'm glad I got Tiny Masters as friends!"
The remix strips away the fuzz guitar stomp and re-invents the song as an electro-pop classic that you can imagine hearing blaring from boomboxes and car stereos... on other planets.
Label mates Liars take a more deconstructionist approach, creating a hypnotic and apocalyptic dub soundscape that is, frankly, kind of scary. In retribution, Tiny Masters of Today took a crack at remixing "Clear Island" from Liars' new album, the "Tiny Liars of Today" mix will appear the next Liars single release.
Debut Tiny Masters of Today album ‘Bang Bang Boom Cake' was recorded in New York with production duties handled by legendary Jon Spencer Blues Explosion drummer Russell Simins and the Elegant Too. Simins, who is also the band's live drummer, plays on most of the album alongside a number of artists from the diverse New York music community such as Kimya Dawson (Moldy Peaches), Fred Schneider (the B-52s), Gibby Haynes (the Butthole Surfers) and Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs).

- DUBFIRE
'RibCage', the second solo single from Dubfire, picks up where 'Roadkill' left off by further pushing the boundries of Dubfire's sonic pallette. It brings forth a deeper, hallucinegetic sound that has always been at the heart of Dubfire's core sound. It also employs the 'two parts in one' style he introduced on his much lauded Nic Fanciulli remix and the recent 'Transit Time' remix for Smith & Selway. Not only is 'RibCage' the sophomore effort on Dubfire's SCI + TEC imprint but is also the debut release on Loco Dice / Martin Buttrich's Desolat label.

Van Halen has been hosting open rehearsals at the Forum in Los Angeles for the past week in anticipation of their reunion tour. Scott Ian from Anthrax checked out a recent show and posted about it on his MySpace page: “They were fucking amazing (ear-boners). Seriously, the hair on my arms was standing up. Dave sang great, Eddie was shredding, Alex is a fucking monster and Wolf was perfect. Great on bass and hit every high note. The set list was 2 1/2 hours of the best shit. I’m The One, Atomic Punk, Romeo Delight, Somebody Get Me A Doctor, Mean Street, Unchained and so many more. Do whatever you gotta do to get tix to see this. FINALLY!!!!! A real full blown arena rock act!!!!! It’s like listening to the soundtrack of America since 1978. THE KINGS ARE BACK!!!!!!!”
Over on Blabbermouth, someone who attended the fourth rehearsal on Sunday reported approximately 500 friends and family members showed up, including Tom Morello, Kirk Hammett and Zakk Wylde, who tried to jump onstage with Eddie and Co., only to be yanked down by security. Wylde then evidently traded shoes with a lady in the crowd and spent some quality time in high heels.

| The Glorious Unseen Joins The BEC/Tooth and Nail Family Please Welcome The Glorious Unseen To BEC! The Glorious Unseen began with a Sunday night Bible study… Disillusioned by the local church scene, a few former youth pastors and friends gathered on a spring Sunday night outside Nashville, TN. What took place ignited their hearts together... They came together to express their desire for God. They came together because they desired community... Their style of ministry was different… Not ever knowing what was going to happen, they continued to meet every Sunday night to pursue God... and to have Him pursue them. The worship that emerged from this group was simple, introspective, and vulnerable. When worship leader Ben Crist wrote his first song - he didn't consider it a worship song... "I just wrote this cool song, but never thought it would be something we would play in worship. I thought maybe I'd have a side project where I'd play some of my own songs from time to time." |
