BLOWBALL
12"ep
Sean, Erin, Rob, Mike, & Rod of the tbtmo/ Fuzzy Box crew. Two sweet stoner electropop tracks, coolin' out, bein' stupid, plus a third track of some other random song backmasked. Wow. One-sided collector's type old skool side project shit.

EXHALERA DECK / URBANDESIGN
Calicona / Underpass split 12"
Chris Jeely's Accelera deck alter-ego, and a Fuxa side project from Ryan Anderson (also lays down Michigan's Mass Transfer spacerock zine). Definitely cool. Packed with a USPS sticker on white sleeve in classic Blackbean fashion.

JACKASS
WHERE TRUTH IS A BEACON cdep
Two hip Heinz brothers (of Smilex Records) and a young woman, all from L.A. if I'm correct, had a band called Jackass before the tv show was around. This ep is quality indie rock, with more a lean toward the indie side, real clever, appeals to everyone, and they shoulda stuck with it and been huge.

ROSE FOR BOHDAN
MAJOR LABEL DRUGS cd
Rose For Bohdan is a crazy band. Major Label Drugs, one of their many releases, is good for an acid trip or a party, depending on the kind of person you are and who you're with. Schizophrenic album in that you will never know what's next, blending (literally) indie rock computer fuckery noise and loops of what could be, or could have been, songs, and then taking that shit, and making songs with it. Get it? Remixing throughout by Lesser, Figurine, and Turbine.
