Some of you might be familiar with Floor, the stoner/sludge/doom outfit out of Florida that released a bunch of 7”s, some splits, and 2 full lengths. Well, Robotic Empire is releasing a simply ludicrous box set, limited to 305 copies, with a $250 price tag. If I were a bigger fan with a bigger pocketbook, I’d be all over this.
See a lot more shots at Pirates Press’ blog, and at Robotic Empire, where you can also order.
The bands best work (IMO) is getting the reissue treatment for Record Store Day, but you can preorder it directly from Sony right now. I adore this album, and a 2x12” 180g pressing with remastered audio and original artwork seems like a no-brainer to me.
Surprisingly accurate and non-hyperbolic article.
Some local pimping for Michigan’s own New Holland Brewing Company, who is releasing some new high gravity stuff for 2010.
First up is el Mole Ocho, which is an attempt at exploring the flavors of… mole sauce. Cocoa, chiles, coffee… sounds worth a try.
Perhaps a bit more palatable is the Beerhive Tripel, which uses local honey and ginger for some earthy complexity and snap on the finish.
Also coming is Imperial Hatter (god awful, imo) and Dragon’s Milk (awesome) in 12 ounce bottles instead of bombers. I honestly don’t know why they bother, since they make a fortune off of 22oz’ers, but I’m fine with smaller portions.
This sounds pretty fantastic. Christian Fennesz, Jim O’Rourke and Peter Rehberg have combined forces for their first proper studio release together as Fenn O’Berg, In Stereo. Shipping on 2x12” next week, order from experimedia.net or elsewhere!
Yeah, this is getting out of hand. According to Portsmouth Brewing’s Facebook page, all the bottles of the by-all-accounts-but-I’ll-never-have-it Kate The Great were accounted for by 5:25am. They had hope to start handing out the reservation tickets at 7, but people were in line by 12:30am in cold, rainy, New Hampshire weather. I shudder to think what Dark Lord Day is going to be like. At least they sell tickets for that.
