The Scrap Heap
 

As indicated by the title, this journal will be a structureless collection of irregular, off-the-cuff mini-reviews and mega-rants. This journal will be a miscellaneous dumping ground for music I'm going to listen to, music I'm not going to listen to, music I'm supposed to listen to, music I've already listened to…. I'm still running Uprooting - Pet_Sounds' Deeper Exploration, but lately I've felt the need for a place I can toss any old piece of junk. So enjoy my scrap heap. If you can sift through it without cutting yourself and getting tetanus, you might find something worthwhile.

To be listened to and reviewed
 

So, I'm just going to toss a bunch of bands I have been recommended or mean to check out onto the pile for listening and reviewing. I'll edit this periodically. In no particular order:

United States of America
Love
Ultimate Spinach
Danzig
The Pixies
First Aid Kit
America
Orange Alabaster Mushroom
Hypocrite in a Hippy Crypt
Wolves in Sheepskin
Eminem
TobyMac
Death Grips
Ornette Coleman
Albert Ayler
Peter Brotzmann
Elliot Smith
Matana Roberts
Colin Stetson
John Coltrane
Olivia Tremor Control
Sun Ra
Electus

I'll be reading this. Have you listened to Danzig yet? Danzig! Danzig! Danziiiig!

Danzig, Danzig, Danzig! Shut up about Danzig! Here! Happy now? :rofl:

B--B! B--B! B--B!

The well-read will appreciate this.

I'm ignorant, though. Enlighten me?

That's one of those jokes you really won't get unless you've read the book, but I'll give you a hint: Big Brother is watching you.

Yeah! Speaking of which, watch for what I hope will be a bitchin' review of the movie in The Couch Potato real soon!

I've never seen the movie. Does it do the book justice?

I will throw these out for you.
