WE SHOULD DIE LP FINALLY OUT!

THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM. GO TO THE ANTROPOFAGO ATEO PRODUCTOS WEBLOG TO LISTEN TO SOME OF IT AND PURCHASE THIS GEM OF PORTLAND (BY WAY OF ALASKA) GRINDCORE HISTORY. PRE-SUPERBAD. SUPPORT D.I.Y. CULTURE AND THOSE WHO KEEP IT ALIVE.



(DESCRIPTION FROM THE A.A. PAGE)
"WE SHOULD DIE existed as a politically charged grind/hc/metal unit from 1996 to 2004. Starting in the small town of Fairbanks, Alaska and moving to Portland, Oregon a year later. This LP captures their 2 best recording sessions, one side each. Side 1998 is arguably the darker, colder, rawer and more desperate of the 2 and sounds like the North Portland basement it was self-recorded in. Side 2004 sees a very apparent lineup change with a different drummer, Isaac Von Davis (formerly in Bent Over Backwards and Fall Of The Bastards) and a new second vocalist/ bassist. This material is faster, cleaner and a bit more urgent. Also recorded in a Portland basement. Samples can be found via the link on this site. LP comes with a vinyl sticker and an 18 page "SMALL, ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE, WASTEFUL PAMPHLET CONTAINING LYRICS AND OTHER SUBVERSIVE WRITINGS." Members of WSD are now in Burials, Ritual Necromancy and Superbad. .A.A. could not be happier with the actualization of this record."

WITH THE COLD FOLLOWS DOOM.

WHEN THE SEASONS BEGIN TO CHANGE, WITH BITING COLD AND VIOLENT WINDS AND GREY SKIES, SLUDGE AND DOOM SEEM TO BE THE ONLY GENRES I FIND MYSELF LISTENING TO. RATHER FITTING, I SUPPOSE. RECORDS OF NOTE TO SATISFY THE ONSET OF MELANCHOLY.

SUPPORT ZMAG! TRUE RADICALS

Hey fellow grinders,
A little call to arms. ZMAG, an incredible publication and resource for radical journalism/commentary/forums/networking/politics and other such great things, is in urgent need of financial support. Economic times are tough for us all, and the independent quarterlies/magazines/zines are getting hit the hardest out of the published media outlets. ZMAG has been a critical and crucial source of independent reporting and journalism for the last 22 years, but they are facing a potential demise as early as January of this next year! If we let publications such as this fade out and die then we are only hurting ourselves as the access to non-corporate/independent sources of information gathering becomes increasingly difficult to obtain. Posting messages like this isn't really my style but in this case I felt it necessary. So please, please go to www.zmag.org and show your support to our fellows in arms, and those that are more willing than most to dig and trudge through beaurocratic muck and corporate filth to bring us uncompromising insight into the events we may otherwise not even hear about (at least not until political motivation to release the information). Spread the word! Support DIY culture! Fuck off Rupert!

Noam Chomsky on ZMAG:

"We live in an era of media concentration, vast efforts on many fronts (political, economic, military, ideological) to insulate state and private power from critical discussion or even popular awareness, and to reduce citizens to isolated atomized creatures restricted to satisfying personal 'created wants.' This massive and coordinated campaign has been partially successful, but only in a limited way.

The range and scope and dedication of popular activism has also increased, all over the world, reaching a level of international solidarity and mutual support that has never been seen before. The basic conflicts are very old, but they have taken quite dramatic and significant new forms, and the stakes are far higher than ever before. It is, regrettably, no exaggeration to say that the survival of the species is at risk -- and many others with it. We all know why.

The popular movements are the hope for a decent future. They of course have to have access to information and modes of interaction. In addition to alternative print and video, to a very large extent they have relied on the internet, which allows people to escape from the constraints of the doctrinal systems, to explore and investigate and discuss crucial issues with one another, to plan and organize.

Z Magazine and ZNet have played a crucial role in serving all of these functions. I see that every day. I travel and speak constantly, in the U.S. and abroad, and spend many hours a day just responding to inquiries and comments. I constantly discover that the people and organizations I come in contact with are relying very substantially on Z projects for information, discussion, and opportunities for interaction and organizing, to an extent that is quite remarkable. Z is also an invaluable resource for me personally, in all of these respects, and also in my case for providing a forum for intense and very constructive discussion, the only one I regularly participate in. And for posting articles, interviews, commentaries, etc., of mine. I know that many others have very much the same experience.

It is of inestimable importance, in my judgment, that Z and ZNet now composing ZCom, expand and flourish, along with their various other projects such as their growing video efforts and incomparable summer school, arguably the most exciting and instructive I have ever encountered.

Again, I do not think it is possible to exaggerate the stakes.

I hope that all of us who are committed to resisting and reversing the powerful currents of reaction and oppression and violence, and showing that another world is indeed possible, will contribute as best we can to ensure that the remarkable achievements of Z and ZNet will be carried forward."

I KNOW I SAID THAT THE IN DISGUST/INHASTE SHOW WOULD BE OUR LAST UNTIL MAY, BUT I LIED. THIS ONE WILL BE OUR LAST SHOW UNTIL THEN. WE HAVE BEEN WRITING NEW MATERIAL FOR VARIOUS UPCOMING SPLITS/RELEASES AND ARE PLANNING ON GOING INTO THE STUDIO IN APRIL TO LAY THEM DOWN. THE NEW TRACKS ARE COMING ALONG WELL. THEY ARE SOME OF OUR MOST BRUTAL SONGS SO FAR. I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THEM. RIGHT NOW WE ARE ALSO PLANNING OUR TOUR FOR THIS SUMMER. I WILL POST MORE DETAILS AS IT PROGRESSES.

Friday the 13th.

I am very excited about this show. In Disgust is one of my favorite grindcore bands around right now. Totally pulverizing. In Haste plays really tight, fast, hardcore and they fucking rip as well. It will also be the last Superbad show until May. We are focusing on writing new material for various splits we have lined up and potentially a full-length in the future. If you are in Portland that weekend, this show is going to totally destroy.



Annihilate Life!

Introduction.

This is my personal blog, though it will contain very little that is personal. I am a strong proponent of life outside of the internet. It is a resource or a tool; it is not a substitute. This weblog will contain mostly music related material (e.g. updates, record, shows, video, photo, etc.), interspersed with what I consider to be relevant articles, essays, or thoughts. This is entirely for my own narcissistic entertainment.

I would like to extend a whole-hearted "Fuck You!" to Rupert Murdoch and his various enterprises.
