compilation: thrice – the complete b-sides collection (2012)

27 01 2012

thrice is pretty much my favorite band, and i’m sad about the hiatus and stuff — so here’s the deal. a user on absolutepunk.net (ACA) posted this up. he might be the man behind it, so here i am bringing it to you and any other fan of thrice. this is a pretty accurate and complete collection of b-sides from every era of thrice. from 1999′s first impressions EP to the beggars era, including all the christmas songs, covers and reworks in between. i’d throw up a tracklisting, but that’s half the fun.

oh and i did the artwork fairly quickly.

introducing: dustin harkins [d-hark] – mister o’ malley (2012)

27 01 2012

dustin harkins is quite the fellow. coming across him on the absolutepunk boards, he frequented the hip-hop round up i do weekly and very slyly threw in comments here and there, only to eventually drop his own mixtape on me. coming from denton, tx (outside of dallas) his rap name is simple and to the point, and mister o malley is a mixtape that uses other beats to explore his potential and work ethic to become successful, while touching base on his personal issues – including dealing with aspergers his whole life. and while this is an early sample of what type of artist he is, mister o’malley shows a lot of potential.

free ep: seas & centuries – nets (2012)

27 01 2012

another gem found deep within the loins of our inbox. seas & centuries is a group from reno, NV that has kind of a phantom planet vibe on the surface, but drives it in with a bit more rock. the guitars are quite good and the ambience of it all makes for a great listen. be sure to grab their other EP, until december, for the ‘name your price.’ and for the record, both dropped last year.

video: CS rucker – loyalty (2012)

27 01 2012

i have no clue who this is, but CS rucker just dropped this and i enjoyed it. and well, isn’t that the whole point of this blog? he works with dallas-based producer sam gold (bring it home) and his EP the vintage will be dropping next month – so stay on the look out. for the record, his flow is quite reminiscent of a less pot-headed currensy.
