Introverts - Twentieth Century

As always when I wanna post something, I google to check if it popped up on bandcamp or something. I found this suspicious looking bandcamp page, which has no audio on it, but leads to another, more dubious and fishy looking page, which I didn't click through. So if this is indeed by the smallest chance an official page, reach out and I'll delete the download link. But since it's probably not, I have to chuckle, cause who the hell is trying to scam and fish via bandcamp using the most obscure bands like Introverts.

Yes obscure is the name of the game here.
Fantastic tape by this group, playing their version of Flipper punk, you know the kind, the sloppy bass, sleazy attitude, the kind this blog always appreciate.
It's more likely they are from Cleveland, as the cover art states it was "conceived/recorded in Cleveland, Ohio Oct. 80 - Mar. 81.".
But they have strong ties with Houston- Ralf Armin (Culturcide) was a member, and this was released via C.I.A. Records. Also the correspondence address leads to Houston, so yeah, I don't know, maybe they moved to Houston or something.

Unsound Magazine, Volume 3 Number 1


There's actually another place Houston is mentioned, and that's in a review for their second cassette which I could never get my hands on ! So here we are again, with me on my knees pleading for someone to share something. Help us ladies and gentlemen, for we are looking Introverts - Treason of the Heart.
So if you got a rip of this one, or any other thing by the band, or just some more information or stories, do share.






Damn this blog is now a decade old. 
Not a bad run if you ask me. 
Talking to myself while writing this nonsense.
If you've followed this blog throughout this period,
Thanks, I truly appreciate it.

Even more psych-noise rock than the first one, again Helios Creed and Terminal Cheesecake come to mind. The latter's dub vibes come also in the shape of the excellent dub jam title track (also made me think of Blind Idiot God).

Pineal Ventana - Philosopher's Stone

As long as my Soulseek wishlist is doing its work, I know there's still hope for this world. So whoever I got this from, who finally ripped this and shared it, thank you.

This blog is in dire need of resuscitation (and not because of the war, I'm just busy, sorry), so instead of just editing the Pineal Ventana discography post, and letting this gem of an EP to be neglected in the archives- here's me pumping you again with PV, you need PV in your life. This band was something else.
That PV post I mentioned actually had three of these tracks, but here's the full thing, lossless rip.

1. Philosopher's Stone
2. Golden Return
3. Cheese of The Month Club
4. Sour Sheet
5. Attack of The 50Ft. Cannibal Clownz

This is a follow-up post for Shalosh Hait one I made a couple years ago.
This one is dedicated to the bassist Ram Aruveni who passed away a couple of days ago.

Here we have another unofficial cassette, claimed to be "the last recording session they made", albeit I find it false. I think it's a mix of various sources, both studio and live Pargod sessions.

RIP Ram


Among other things Ram also operated in One Two Four Nine , Barbara (both with David), Solo . Even toured with Rabies Caste on their 2002 US tour. So yeah, as you can see, this guy is a fan favorite here in the blog.
