NEW BALKANS MIXTAPE! FREE!

It shreds, and it's free, so no complaining. Here it is.

To The Moon or Bust Review
This is the first of a series of free monthly mixtapes that our friends the Balkans plan to release. It has some live tracks that have been somewhat remixed, like "VG 529" (or "Violent Girls," live at 529 FSA). It also has some never-before heard shredders like "Lady Killer." In addition to these tracks that are characteristic of the Balkans, there are a ton of link track-type songs that are 17 seconds long and contain no real music. "Chess" is a cool song, but it is keyboards and drum machines instead of noisy garage rock guitar and cymbals. Overall I would say this record somewhat resembles Wavves' first full length, except I am not embarrassed to listen to it.

"Kurt and Courtney" Documentary

Hulu has a documentary on the death of Kurt Cobain up. The BBC did it. I think it's streaming until the end of the month. HERE it is (I didn't embed it because sometimes it autoplays, and I just hate that).

Also, the Felts had a change of myspace url. The new site is here.

Word. I was watching that documentary, which is awesome, and it reminded me that Jay Reatard did a cover of Nirvana's "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle," which is my favorite Nirvana song. For those of you who don't know, Mr. Reatard was found dead in his Memphis home last Wednesday. I won't lie: I don't like his music, and I think his voice is annoying. However, he was 27 or 29 or something, and no one deserves to die that young. As a brief memorial (I know all other blogs are doing it), HERE is that cover.

Naturally it is worse than Nirvana's, but he gave it a great interpretation. Rest in peace Mr. Reatard.

If I can, dear internet, I would like to bear my soul to you and tell you a small secret: I'm essentially obsessed with Nirvana. Them and Weezer. I'm sorry.

Also, tell me these aren't legit.

New The Felts Song(s)

Hey there ol' buddies, it's your ol' buddy, Will. I just uploaded a new track with two songs on it ("Alexander Lake" and "Porcupinecone") to the myspaces of The Felts and The Buick Sixes. Be on the look out for more of that, especially on the Felts' 'space, because I just figured out a way to convert my tapes to mp3. These are demos, but they were pretty good takes. Enjoy.



If you know your way around Richmond like I do, this video is pretty funny.

This Friday is Party Time

Juleon and I are playing in an Ergs! cover band, called the Ughs! Witty, right? Also I drew a flier for the show during my free period today. You probably already looked at it if you are reading this now (it is above this small paragraph). -Will




Don't tell me Kimya Dawson isn't legit

Word to Mother: I'm Dangerous

This is some sort of footage for a jam I wrote, entitled "I'm Just A Small Giant." Our good friend MCaeser edited it (he does most of our editing) and I think it's awesome. This song is going to be on Sideways Hat, which I am recording right now.


That was fun, wasn't it?

Anyway, recording is in the works. I'm recording some stuff at Ford McClure's house and some in my room, which I will produce, mix and edit at other peoples' houses who own a mac, because I don't have one. Stay sweet.
