Tobacco "Maniac Meat" LP

Noisy and diverse, this feels like an experiment but Tobacco seems to have lost the thread that tied F&*ked up friends together. It is enjoyable as a defining step away from the blissed out candy coated fuzz that is BMSR. There are enjoyable moments but for my taste it feels a little to much like a chopped up search for identity. Like a bunch of ideas with nothing in common being dropped in front of you for rapid consumption. Hmm, that doesn't sound very possitive. I do like this record so don't take that the wrong way. This record is insane in a good way. The songs just sound like seperate entities. The inclusion of Beck on two tracks is a interesting development but I would have liked to get another heavier dose of Aesop Rock.

Black Moth Super Rainbow "Eating Us"

The floating melted candy dreamtime groove returns mellower and more primed for the masses. This is a beautiful record. Perhaps a little to accessible or easy to reach for more mainstream ears. The reason I have loved BMSR in the past, is layered within all the candy coated fuzz there was always this malicious underlying perversion or gritty broken down subversion. It seems to have all but disappeared. Still a beautiful record tho'

Langhorne Slim

Put on an amazing show last night.
Hollering and jumping into the audience.
His infectious energy captivated and excited the audience.
By the end of the night only the most devout were able to hold still and sit in their seats.
Everyone else was up and moving.
