You heard this Ennio Morricone record yet? of course you haven't, it doesn't exist. On your planet. That's what you can expect from Sombre Reptiles, music blog of Listen Records' Kris Burwash. Remember Alien Nation? Think of those dudes flashing forward to a 3rd generation weirdo alien kids making music in Mumbai...that's what Kris would turn you on to.

The Big Sandwich is electronics, straight-up. No question Markus Vuorensola can easily out-name you both 20 n0-wave live bootlegs and flying lotus beat tapes but dude knows blips and bloops to boot. no skronk electro here. Real, please.

CJSR superstar Aaron Levin's Weird Canada is the home of n0/new-school:freakbeat/psych/kooky.
Think Headphone-Bedroom.
This be all for the love of the basement.

Designarrs pt.3

_obits_new_fix02.jpg

Justin LaFontaine's geometry = New Math. No one can touch him on posters right now. That Obits print was the most iconic image of this year's Sled Island. It even became the face of the band's website - if it's good enough for Jehu-ligans it's good enough for every human.

Lando Speers is an immensely talented photographer with a keen sense for capturing energy and aggression. Little wonder that the best Red Hot Daggers photos were his. He also has an intimate understanding of gizmos, which makes his musical projects, "Headaches" and "St. Gilles" so fascinating.
