from Wikipedia:
J and Friends Sing And Chant For Amma is an album-length compact disc by American guitarist/singer/songwriter and Dinosaur Jr bandleader J Mascis. The CD consists of several devotional songs composed and/or adapted by Mascis and dedicated to Hindu religious leader Mata Amritanandamayi, or Ammachi, whom Mascis is a devoted follower of. Recorded during a banner year for the alternative icon, Sing and Chant For Amma was self-released by Mascis on his own Baked Goods label during a break in the Dinosaur Jr reunion tour. Although there are no production or studio credits on the album, the CD is presumed to have been produced by Mascis and recorded at his own Bob's Place Studio in Amherst, Massachusetts. The proceeds from the album are being donated to Tsunami relief and other efforts Ammachi's organization is spearheading. Mascis had previously written the song "Ammaring" about Ammachi, and recorded it on the first J Mascis and the Fog album More Light.

Queens of the Stone Age - Beyond Era Vulgaris

So by now you Queens of the Stone Age fans have purchased (or downloaded) the new album and realised how shit it is (Just Kidding). Anywho you may have noticed that different printings of the album (from different countries) contain a few different bonus tracks, such as the track Era Vulgaris as a bonus track on the UK release or I'm Designer (Hot Chip Remix) as a French itunes bonus track, it's annoying I know, so I took it upon myself to supply them all in a nice little package. Also included in what i've titled 'Beyond Era Vulgaris' are the b-sides from the 2 singles (so far) and a nice acoustic session showcasing some of the new tunes from XFM.

THE "DELUXX FOLK IMPLOSION" COLLECTION

The Deluxx Folk Implosion is a collaboration between two groups; 'Deluxx' and 'The Folk Implosion'; so put the two together and obviously you get, 'Deluxx The Folk Implosion', but take away the 'the' and you get 'Deluxx Folk Implosion'. The members of this group are Lou Barlow, John Davis (Folk Implosion), Mark Peretta and Bob Fay (Deluxx), and together they are (say it with me) 'The Deluxx Folk Implosion', not 'The Deluxx The Folk Implosion' just 'The Deluxx Folk Implosion', get it! Historically the group formed to contribute a song to the 'Kids' soundtrack in 1995, which was devised by Lou Barlow and featured mainly Folk Implosion Tunes (remember the film 'Kids', about young kids having sex, and giving each other aids, feel good movie of the year). But the Deluxx Folk Implosion (DFI) had played together as early as February 1994, and Bob Fay (Deluxx) was also in Sebadoh with Barlow, appearing on some of their more consistent efforts such as Bakesale and harmacy, but Fay was fired from Sebadoh in 1998. Anyway gone off track a bit, it's kind of hard to write about DFI as there is very little info about them available out there. DFI in total released one 5-track 7" single 'Daddy Never Understood', the title track lifted from the 'Kids' soundtrack (1995), and appeared on two compilation albums; Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks (1996) and Safe and Sound (1996) (do the math, thats 7 recorded songs in total). Also included in this DFI collection is the last song recorded by DFI in 1996 and a full Deluxx Folk Implosion concert recorded at the Last Call Saloon in February of 1994. The show is one of about half a dozen gigs DFI ever played, and features songs by Deluxx, The Folk Implosion, The Deluxx Folk Implosion and Belt Buckle (another Barlow / Fay collaboration).

Tex Perkins formed Salamander Jim in the early eighties with Kim Salmon (The Scientists) and Richard Ploog (The Church), but the line up soon changed due to touring commitments for Ploog & Salmon. Stu Spasm, Lachlan McLeod and Martin Bland joined Tex in a new line up, and in 1985 recorded Salamander Jim's only record, "Lorne Greene Shares His Precious Fluids".

Soulsavers - Revival (2007)



This is a promo single I purchased off ebay, the second single from the album, "It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land", by The Soulsavers (with Mark Lanegan). "Revival" is a gospel sort of number and the b-side "Blues Run The Game" is a tune written by Jackson C. Frank, played sometimes by Mark Lanegan Band on the 2003-04 world tour. Another interesting fact is that Isobel Campbell plays cello on "Blues Run The Game". Enjoy, or not, it's up to you.

Something For Kate (Demo Tape)

Something For Kate Demo
Recorded 1994 / Released 1995
Only 600 Copies (Cassette)

This tape was available at early gigs when the group played on tiny little stages. They were much heavier back then. I'm not much of a fan these days but when I was a young man I loved them, saw them so many times, and played this demo to death, the first EP was pretty cool too. I'm sure there are many Something For Kate fans out there that would appreciate this demo, a friend of mine transferred it from cassette, the sound is a bit muffled and shitty but thats how it always was....

1. Clint
2. Pichard's Lament
3. Glue
4. Toothpaste
5. Slow
6. Ashtray
7. Just A Picture
