Putting all the comparisons and influences aside, King dude is a haunting one man doom folk project from Seattle, Washington. So before you decide to write this off because of the DIJ comparisons, well, shame on you. His recordings are a fine example of how simplicity can most times lead to sincerity. You can find his stuff on Clan Destine Records. Below, are two of my favorite songs written by the King, dude...

R.I.P. Conrad Schnitzler
Better late than never to give my respects to a music Pioneer of such magnitude as that of Conrad Schnitzler; Founder of the legendary Kluster and former member of Tangerine Dream. A musical pioneer like this dies and it takes me 4 days to find out. A piece of shit drug addict like Amy Winehouse croaks and I have to take the bombardment of news through every nook and cranny. The world is a sick place. R.I.P. Mr Schnitzler.

Arvid Tuba
Arvid Tuba is, as far as I'm informed, a one man project by Markus Arvidsson. Swedish industrial music and below is a gem that will not stop bumping. Minimal Synth at its very finest that has yet to be put on any of these compilations being put out by Minimal Wave and Walhalla Records . I have not been able to find this on mp3 anywhere on the net so I've provided one for you. Download it but I have to warn you that the file is a bit large for just one track. So I'll leave the quality reduction to you via any DAW.
TOMA!

Cumbia!
Been on a Cumbia fix lately. Must have gotten the urge after checking out a cumbia mix at
This video is of an artist by the name of Chacalon. His band was called La Nueva Crema and I believe he also split his duties with another band by the name of Grupo Celeste. Although Chacalon has passed away, fans of Chicha music, which is a Peruvian derivative of Cumbia, have not let his young death be in vain. His music continue to inspire the poor working class of South America.
The guitars are a work of art. Chicha seems to incorporate the pulsating rhythm of cumbia, mix in andean chord structures, and throw in fuzz with reverb ala American surf rock for a sound music explorers will enjoy.
This is a treat. If you want to download a really dope comp, Go here,
Los orientales de Paramonga are another highlight in the compilation. Heavy hitting dance tracks. I'm so glad to see this stuff on the web.
kicktokill, which by the way, is a great, fun filled blog on metal, hip-hop, punk, random as hell videos that keep degenerates like you and I entertained.

Mary Goes Round
French 80's band. Darkwave? You decide. One thing is certain, the sound is melancholy and colorful at the same time. Must be the Casio tones that keep this song straddling that goth line instead of crossing over to the complete and utter dismay of that horrific genre. They toured with Sonic Youth at one point, that probably being their biggest success as a band. This song can be found on their album, 70 suns in the sky but for some reason, the shitty quality of the sound uploaded on youtube sounds much better.
