One of the best tracks on the DK's first album, with a ridiculously melodic bassline and quite a surf-punk solo. Skrewdriver are most known as being a nazi skinhead punk band, but back in the wayback in 1977 they were a standard-issue quasi-oi band like sham 69. This is the first track from their first album. I can't get enough daniel johnston covers, and this has the singer from half japanese! Mind is an under-rated (in my opinion) Talking Heads song. It has the funk, the bizarre lyrics, the great lead guitar parts, the bending notes, its purrfect. Me and my friends used to sing "the song is the single" all the time...it makes for a great sing-a-long. oh no is a rapper best known for being madlib's younger brother. I heard the track smile a lil bit on RIU and thought it was great, so put it on here. Bonus: features podronus (sic) from De La Soul. Pere Ubu have an unfair reputation as a "snooty art rock band" and to some degree they are (the six minute track of bottles smashing on their first album is a bit much) but this track has a rockin' beat and sounds like a definite influence on tv on the radio, seeing as how it was released in like 1979. Danielson are the best christian band ever...probably the only good one. The reason why is they were influenced by experimental music like rapeman and big black, and don't sound like nickelback. No, I did NOT include the terrible rap group "shwayze" on here, no broghamptons to be seen here, this is an obscure band from gainsville florida that broke up, I liked this song so I bought all their cds and was disappointed to find out they only have like 2 or 3 good songs. Back in the day when Oink.me.uk was still running a fellow named Brett Peters did some bitching acoustic instrumentals. This is from his "In The Valley" ep, which he mysteriously re-uploaded with an extra track. The next track is if there is a god, billy corgan solo and actually good unlike that gish crap-tanza. sir richard bishop does guitar for the sun city girls he's amazing blah blah blah. Scarface is in the geto boys, on his first solo album the last track is amazing, one of the best rap songs I have ever heard. Now you can hear it!!! I've had sunset rubdown on the show, here is more sonic gold. Cake is well known, but this is not a well-known cake song. They go 17th century style on this bitch.

Episode 9: I Know That The Rain Moves And Enters The Dream Pools And Diamonds Are Days With Fire

Welcome to episode of This Angry Silence! This is a no-bullshit music podcast. You won't hear me drone on about how amazing my music tastes, all you will hear is cool songs from my computer...if you don't like a song choice let me know and I'll plan future shows accordingly.

This episode is a mix of acoustic tracks, at paulos suggestion and I'm glad he did. And of course five minutes after I was done I thought of more stuff, but lord knows there will always be more episodes.

00:00 Weezer - Jamie (Live)
04:04 The Fiery Furnaces - Tropical Ice-Land (Album Version)
07:34 Sunset Rubdown - Child-Heart Losers
09:36 Jandek - I Passed By the Building
13:20 Xiu Xiu - Fabulous Muscles
17:31 Beck - True Love Will Find You in the End (Daniel Johnston)
20:54 Czar Tara Choy VII - Garden Grove (Sublime) (Live)
24:15 Sun City Girls - Bitter Cold Countryside
28:44 Daniel Johnston - I Did Acid With Caroline
30:27 Bright Eyes - A Song to Pass the Time
35:57 Avey Tare & Kría Brekkan - Sasong
40:24 Gogol Bordello - Madagascar-Romania
46:57 Handsome Furs - The Radio's Hot Sun
49:32 John Cage - 4'33''

Jamie is an average weezer b-side, actually now that I think about it most of their b-sides are terrible (besides mykel and carli) and this live version fuckin slams, complete with three part harmony. sunset rubdown is the solo project/band of spencer krug from wolf parade, this is from their latest, slightly disappointing album. jandek is a recluse from texas that is most know for anti-folk music, its all out of tune and depressing. this is a standout track by him, an unnamed vocalist (presumed to be eddie) gives one of the most desperate vocal performances in musical history...skip james can't touch this! the guitar is amazing too, it is just open stringed acoustic, played in the most harrowing fashion possible. everyone knows beck, this is a daniel johnston cover he recently did, one of his best works. czar tara choy vii is the musical duo of my friends zack and vic, google their name to download a show i recorded of them. i saw alan and sir richard bishop live, it was amazing and they played bitter cold country side, one of my favorite SCG songs. Daniel johnston has bipolar and is really awkward, this is a standout track by him. bright eyes is all emo, i know but they used to be great, this is from fevers and mirrors. gogol bordello have been known to be overhyped but they have made some standout tracks. handsome furs is some guy dan from wolf parade and his wife, the last track of their only cd is a nice acoustic number. the last track is a terribly obvious avant-garde joke.

Episode 8: Don't Waste Your Precious Breath Explaining That You Are Worthwile

Welcome to episode 8 of This Angry Silence! This is a no-bullshit music podcast. You won't hear me drone on about how amazing my music tastes, all you will hear is cool songs from my computer...if you don't like a song choice let me know and I'll plan future shows accordingly.

This episode is a random mix of tracks, a bit haphazard but that's how it goes.

00:00 The Hidden Cameras - A Miracle
02:56 The Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
07:44 The Fiery Furnaces - Benton Harbor Blues (Remix)
10:58 The Boomtown Rats - Joey's On The Street Again
16:28 Swell - Convince Us
20:30 Wire - Ex Lion Tamer
22:49 Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Silver And Gold
25:28 Pavement - Carrot Rope
29:20 Sun City Girls - Old Glory's Fade
31:32 Joanna Newsom - Cosmia (Live)
44:55

The Hidden Cameras started as one gay dude, playing appropriately genre'd "gay church folk music." This song is amazing, I think its about a preacher raping a kid, and I put it on as many mixtapes as possible, cause it doesnt sound like WASP or some shit, its just a nice pop song. Funeral by Arcade Fire is a pretty good cd but I don't know if anything tops the first track on it. The Fiery Furnaces are a great brother sister duo from england, this won't be the last song I play by them for sure. The boomtown rats are dearly loved by my friends, I haven't given them much of a listen but this song caught my ear. swell are some random indie band, this is from a cd by them, it has some great lead guitar. wire are classic uk post-punk-before-there-was-post-punk or whatever...joe strummer did a fantastic album before he died, this is a track from it. pavement are a classic, somewhat overlooked 90's band, this is just a random track I like by them, there are so many more. sun city girls are a really good band i like, this is a nice improvisation they did on their cd "high asia". I only wish I could think of so many sonic ideas. Joanna Newsom released a great cd called Ys. It finishes with the track Cosmia. It is great on that album, but this track from her live album "ys street band" far tops it, and is almost twice as long too!

Episode 7: Children Sing Hallelujah All Across The Town

Welcome to episode seven of This Angry Silence! This is a no-bullshit music podcast. You won't hear me drone on about how amazing my music tastes, all you will hear is cool songs from my computer...if you don't like a song choice let me know and I'll plan future shows accordingly.

This episode is a random mix of tracks, and in my opinion the best episode thus far, because it presents a wide variety of different things that somehow work together. Track descriptions after the tracks as per usual, as it were.

00:00 Boyd Rice - Watery Leviathan
02:30 Buju Banton - Til I'm Laid To Rest
06:54 The Fugees - Cowboys
11:41 The Flaming Lips - The Sun
15:12 Holy Shit - The Castle
18:04 Catch 22 - Dear Sergio
20:35 The Germs - Lexicon Devil (Single Version)
22:44 The White Stripes - Truth Doesn't Make A Noise
25:58 Hot Chip - From Drummer To Driver
30:22 Daft Punk - Make Love
35:11 Wata - Angel
41:28

ad-hok info: This track by Buju Banton is proof that not all that stuff from Jamaica is mindless drivel, it is one of my favorite songs in general. The Flaming Lips are pretty well known these days, but this track is from their album hit to death in the future head, when they were a lot more experimental and didn't master their albums way too loud. Holy Shit is ariel pink and mat fishbeck, when they combine it is either ponderous or genius, this is the second of the two of course. The White Stripes used to be a lot better than they were now, this is a track from their album "De Stijl." Hot Chip are from the UK. This is from their first (I say best) album. Their other albums have had some good tracks too (And I Was A Boy From School, Colours, Shake Your First, Etc) but their first one is solid, except for "hittin skittles" and "Abc" which granted are bonus tracks. This is a bonus track too and its the best! Everyone knows who daft punk are blah blah blah they are actually really good though. Wata is the guitarist for the semi-well known band Boris, this is a solo track she did on a 7" with a bitchin' solo and a great vocal melody. Highly reccomended.

You won't hear me drone on about how amazing my music tastes, all you will hear is cool songs from my computer...if you don't like a song choice let me know and I'll plan future shows accordingly. And hey guess what, its the start of many-a-wednesday show! There are now shows on wednesday and saturday, so i'll go from too little work to too much work. And I need some real fucking webspace. Goddamnit. And if I keep getting eps removed, i'm going all non-RIAA. It'll be tough but I can manage it and still serve up the hits and whathaveyou...

This episode is made specifically for Paulo, the first fan of This Angry Silence. It is all acoustic bootlegs of the band animal collective. They have been releasing cds since 2000 and have released one acoustic album, Campfire Songs. However their other acoustic work has been overlooked so here it is. Get stoned to this shit ASAP. If you want to hear the original versions of these songs, get their cds Sung Tongs, Feels, and Campfire Songs. And er, nevermind by nirvana.
