PUNK for me and explain to me who gave those who define it the authority to define what "real"
PUNK is! since the newest discussion on Mark´s
DOWN UNDERGROUND blog, which in parts was the most stupid shit I´ve seen in my blogger career till now! the deathwish e.g. before that 2 thirds of the people commenting proved over and over again that they can neither read nor write a proper sentence but the deathwish was greatest highlighting of stupidity possible and counts as evidence for the theory that we are the missing link between apes and humans! the reason that discussion comes to my mind is that
DALETH is a letter in the Hebrew alphabet but also an occult term that means door and an open door symbolizes knowledge (a half open door therefore symbolizes concealed knowledge) and knowledge and/or the ability to think in general wasn´t really present at said discussion (I´m aware of the fact that there wasn´t a dialouge which is the base needed for any discussion I´m just to lazy to write display of stupidity every time!) . back to
DALETH: I didn´t know them before and therefore can´t give you much more infos besides that they are on
myspace, have a
blog of their own where you can d/l more of their music, have some really cool artwork and from their name one could draw the conclusion that they are more on the dark side of things! and their myspace page tells you that:
DALETH is the "solo project" from Joe Merrill (Rowdy Towdy, Noah's Apathy, Maniac, Esteem, City of Liars, Centaurus, etc.). Unlike his previous efforts, DALETH explores a dark, revealing cycle throughout every song. Each note, faced by doom, follows an epic adventure. In a sea of drowning talent, DALETH incorporates several unique influences into it's excursion. which sounds like horseshit to me!
follows an epic adventure, in a sea of drowning talent,... are there "schools" where one learns to write such crap or is it enough to fuck up your brain with a shitload of acid? I think
DALETH is ok music-wise! it´s not really my sound as I´m not into
SLUDGE, but it´s nothing I would call bad but that load of horseshit promocrap is more than bad!
MARY SHELLEY OVERDRIVE asked if I´d like to post their new web-only E.P. of coversongs . well, I´m quite sure I said this before:
I HATE coversong e.p.s (the only thing even worse are tribute comps.!) with very, very few exceptions! so few they are rarer than good 7" comps.! this one is far from being among the selected few exceptions but I like their artwork (more on their
website), they do a cover of the Batman-theme that I like, their version of
BLACK FLAG´s
WASTED is so bad it somehow gets listenable through how fucked up & shitty it is and they pull of a cover of
BLUE OYSTER CULT´s
THIS AIN`T THE SUMMER OF LOVE that is actually really cool and the only track on the E.P. that benefits from the low-fi rehearsal room d.i.y. recording!
the rest of the songs are covers of DEVO, BO DIDDLEY, THE WHITE STRIPES, ANTI-SEEN and
THE VASELINES where I don´t know the originals or, in case I do know the original the coversong does as little for me as the
original!

"Hello, Just wanna say thanks for the amount of quality stuff you post on your music blog. It's good to finally have mp3 versions of stuff I only have on vinyl and also the chance to get check out other things. One of my old bands recently set up a myspace account for the purpose of making our complete discography available for free via download. Check it out if you like, and if you do like it feel free to add it to your blog." well, it took me a while till I found the time to out
DEADSTARE but as I really liked what I heard I decided to put it on my blog despite the fact 2 other blogs have done the same!
