JOHN LEVIN Five Years On CD sonoriti.es son2 $8
from the label: "The "D-word" comes in for a lot of understanding and misunderstanding these days, but Brattleboro's John Levin (Ill Wind Ensemble, Greenhill Builders) practices the Drone in one of its purest -- and most minimal -- forms. These studio tracks were recorded in one take using nothing more than a 30-plus year old Arp Odyssey and a delay pedal. Four cuts range in length from just over two minutes to just over half an hour. Edition of 100 color-faced CDs in hand-stamped recycled cover.

THE DOOZER Conversations / Stone House 7" Doozer Industries DOOZ1 $6
from the label: "7" single on Doozer Industries. A foray into observational conversations and the white persona. Double A side single with non album tracks which are never to be repeated 'Stone Houses' & 'Conversations'. Built to serve the 7" format and all its glory. Mixed and mastered by Kramer."

V/A THIS IS COWTOWN VOL #4 7" Anyway AWR028 $3
Who can deny the wondrous power and beauty of the ultimate expression of 'less is more' found in the mere creation of a 'four band comp seven inch'? And this one is among the finest examples of the format. Not the prime era of Bela's OUT OF COWTOWN series, (hell, he couldnt even get the title right on the jacket) so it went relatively unsung in it's day. But this record, with all of it's weird early quark work on the label, mispellings, handwritten glop, has four fine tracks of the era. Including MONSTER TRUCK FIVE amped up version of MIKE REP's 'Rocekt Music On' and also an early THOMAS JEFFERSON SLAVE APTS version of 'Foolish'. Also a brilliant studio rough of 'Floorboards' by MOVIOLA (spelled 'Muviola' here) and a little country punk from the GUN SHY MINISTERS. Too much for too little. Hopeless and beautiful.

MOXIE #1 fanzine MOXIE1 $2
Oh, the pleasure of old print. DAWN SUTTER's single issue of MOXIE, 'the magazine that takes no guff'" though slight in size (42 pages), packs a huge 'punch' in relevant coverage that predicts much of what was to come. Great interviews with TOODY COLE (DEAD MOON), ALEC EMPIRE (DHR), CHRIS WARE & ARCHER PREWITT, EDITH FROST. From the window of 1998? perhaps (no reference date in the issue anywhere). Plus reports from GAIL O'HARA, GILMORE TAMNEY, and a single review by RON (f-in) DECKER!! and a live review from JOSH MADELL!! Now you know you are on the inside.

KJETIL D BRANDSDAL Rogalands Lydigste + Gitar Fingling Metal Art Disco CD $10
One large dose in his stretching catalog, this nicely presented digipak edition is a reissue of two lp's of guitar mangling and transport. 'Rogalands Lydigste' was issued on LP by SCOTT FOUST's forward minded SWILL RADIO and make up the front cover art, and first half of this CD, The remaing tracks are from the self releasd lp which featured his first solo-recordings.

RON HOUSE Obsessed CD Moses Carryout MC1 $8
hey check out the new lower price.... just stumbled across another box of this gem. "Released in 2002, Mr House's first proper solo album is a song cycle that drops his snarling punk trip to deliver this in folkie songwriter mode… bearing witness to break-up, distraction, and depression. Therefore it is an amazing listen."

CATHERINE RIBEIRO + ALPES Rat Debile et l'Homme CD Mantra MNTR85 $14
ALPES heavy rock infused with a sense of destiny by the dramatic and insistent CATHERINE RIBEIRO. Any chance to experience an impassioned and emotional truth in another language, truth beyond language, is worthy of stopping your stride for a moment. Though sometimes seemingly so bare and self aware, the music they laid down in this era of the 1970s, and probably still are peddling today, is a revelation. As an added plus, you can also learn about the COSMOPHONE, a room-sized musical instrument invented in the days of ANALOG. (http://cosmophone.in2p3.fr/)

DOS / BLACK PIG LIBERATION FRONT split 7" Pop Rocket PRDOS $6
from the label: " this split-single based on text assemblage by denis mahoney... rhizomed with a radical sense of play into patterns turning out unending tapestries of desire from the likes of di prima, artaud, bey...their intense passion to exist and create a culture of resistance." the black pig liberation front has also been performed live in multimedia format in nyc (forthcoming live release dec. 96 on pop rocket records) and new london, connecticut's hygienic fest by the black pig liberation front. the poem itself has been posterized (painting by adam cook - a special edition of the poster in smaller scale w/ different paint by cook is included in the single release) and released through the literary renaissance, louisville, ky. the dos cover photograph is by leah singer."

ORIGINAL: SINS Skeletons in the Garage CD Spare Me SPME008 $10
Deep blown out 18 track collection of rarities and b-sides from BROTHER JT's 1980s outfit. Includes outtakes, demos, and a cover or two (CREATION, BEACH BOYS). Been checking out JT's video shorts on the interbox too... (http://www.myspace.com/brotherjt) amazing.
