N-E WAYZ, 420 IS MAH FAVORITE HOLIDAY AND I CELEBRATE IT EVERY YEAR B/C I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE LEGALIZE THE GANJ. GRASS HELPS ME AND OTHER PPL FIND OUT THE TRUTH IN THINGS. AND U KNOW WHAT?

For this classroom activity, you will need:

- a 2-liter bottle
- Sink faucet screen with nut (the lil’ doo-dad where the water comes out)
- Aluminum foil
- Knife or scissors

THIS IS 4 TOBACCO USE ONLY, THO, SO DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME WITH N-E THING ELSE *WIIINKZ NUDGE*

Fill bucket about 3/4 with water. Cut four small incisions at the bottom of the plastic bottle. Remove bottle cap, replace with sink screen and nut, and pad bottle nozzle tightly with aluminum foil (don’t want any of the tobackee smoke *wiiink* to get out).  Fill screen with your favorite flavored tobacco. Push bottle toward bottom of bucket. Light tobacco and slowly pull bottle up out of water. Remove cap, put mouth on bottle nozzle then slowly start pushing bottle back down into bucket while inhaling. And viola! ENJOI YR. FINE AMERICAN GROWN TOBACCO PRODUCTS LOLZ.

Deerhunter Prepare New Rainwater Cassette Exchange EP!

deerhunter-rainwatercassetteexchange Deerhunter Prepare New Rainwater Cassette Exchange EP!

Ever since the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Microcastle’s premier, the folks of Deerhunter seem to have been keeping their progress shrouded from the public eye (can you blame them?). The absence of updates on their blog has left many geeks like myself to speculate on what they may be cooking up, but now we have our answer! Next month, Deerhunter are set to release their new EP Rainwater Cassette Exchange on Kranky!  This five-track offering was recorded at the Rare Book Room with with producer Nicolas Verhes.

We first heard the title track “Rainwater Cassette Exchange,” during their mind bending set at the Noise Pop Festival last month. The finished version is pleasantly effected and spacious, furthering Cox’s obsession with doo-wop and 60’s girl groups and bringing in lo-fi psych elements from their Unrequited Narcissist tape. These guys could’ve been the Xanadu house band. Also looking forward to hearing the studio versions of “Disappearing Ink” and “Famous Last Words” which seem to reinterpret teenage fascinations with Pavement and Stereolab. Given that Cox and the gang’s track record has allowed us to get super psyched about every release so far and never get let down, I highly doubt this is going to be any different. The CD and Vinyl are set to drop via digital download May 18th and will be available on CD and Vinyl June 8th on Kranky Records. The track listing for for Rainwater Cassette Exchange is as follows:

01. Rainwater Cassette Exchange
02. Disappearing Ink
03. Famous Last Words
04. Game of Diamonds
05. Circulation

Deerhunter – Noise Pop Festival, 2.24.09

Deerhunter played last week in my favorite city in the nation, San Francisco, at Noise Pop.  Deerhunter’s entire performance is available above, which is exciting for me as Deerhunter is one of, like, maybe three new-ish bands that I care about and are 110% worth a damn.  The show sounds real good, though it’s weird not hearing B. Cox’s voice liquified by swells of reverb.

The Decibel Tolls Best Albums of 2008

playin The Decibel Tolls Best Albums of 2008

Oh good, glad to see you like my illustration.  Yeah, I had some downtime and wasn’t feelin’ too creative or too much in my graphic design game as far as doing something special for The Decibel Tolls year-end list.  So Lana and I started talking, and it came to us that it would be hysterical to do a collage with people like Bradford Cox eating that Ezra Comma dude from Frankenstein Weekday or whoever, and Franz Ferdinand… stuff like that.  I didn’t have time to add Lil’ Wayne.  And then I had to make, like, the fuckin’ universe as the backdrop.  That’s how we roll here at the Decibel Tolls – no fun, tasteful graphic to designate this article as the accumulative best-of list.  Nope, just crude images of artists I like with their heads detached eating shitty bands.  I’m additionally thrilled that I was able to describe the image even further despite the fact that it’s already annotated.  I rule.

I put some serious thought into this list, and did a bunch of narrowin’ down.  There were other jam hives I was rather infatuated with this year, such as releases from Magik Markers, Burning Star Core, and Vivian Girls.  But I wanted to do just the standard top ten this time around.  No reason to not do things standard every now and again… Continue reading ‘The Decibel Tolls Best Albums of 2008′

Don’t Be a Jerk – Grip the New Deerhunter, For Real

deerhunter2 Dont Be a Jerk - Grip the New Deerhunter, For Real

Tomorrow, Deerhunter’s monolithic double disc Microcastle/Weird Era Cont. drops courtesy of Kranky or 4AD, depending on where you live. Yes, it leaked, and we all greedily took. We all witnessed the Lord of the Flies-esque free-for-all, and the subsequent fallout from the blog debacle – in addition to the rueful behavior of the fallible, sinful collective of scalawags and pirates known as your peers and neighbors. And after the dust settled, we all found out that Deerhunter had recorded an incredible collection of music. Continue reading ‘Don’t Be a Jerk – Grip the New Deerhunter, For Real’

So… Watcha Think of the New Deerhunter Art?

new_deerhunter_cover So... Watcha Think of the New Deerhunter Art?

Like me with this site’s design and layout, Deerhunter likes to tweak and change and constantly alter the forthcoming Microcastle/Weird Era Cont cover. The original, found here, will still be displayed on the domestic Kranky vinyl release, though. There’s also this one floating around that appears as the proper art via iTunes. So… what do you think?
