I'm in a ridiculously bad/pissed mood today: here's some grindcore perfect for brooding at maximum decibels.

Patrick Macnee & Honor Blackman - Kinky Boots

Download.

Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman were stars of the 1960s British show The Avengers. The song was recorded from the perspective of their characters in the program in reference to Blackman's leather boots on the show. Give this a listen if you're into sexy little school girls.

Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues (1983)

Download.

Naive Melody. 'Nuff said.

If Jesus Had Machine Guns - Vol. 1

Download.

If Jesus Had Machine Guns is the moniker under which Connecticut native Jimi Patterson releases his lo fi bedroom recordings. After hearing Dan Barrett (Have A Nice Life) rave about him for months I decided to check it out and was very impressed. Unique blend of catchy pop melodies with post punk, goth, and shoegaze all laced in there.

Slayer - Reign In Blood (1986)

Download.

I know you're thinking EW SLAYER long hair Satanic white supremacists and you wanna go hide behind your Grizzly Bear albums, but this is without a doubt the greatest thrash metal record of all time. AND it's in glorious 320 AND it's an original 1986 CD rip where the mastering is messed up so the ending of Postmortem actually plays at the beginning of Raining Blood and makes it that much more brutal.

Scorpion Wind - Heaven Sent

Download.


Koala folk.

Jarboe is best known for her work with Swans, of which she was a permanent member from the mid 80s until the group's break up. Since then she's gone on to lead a prolific solo career releasing something like a dozen albums and collaborating with at least twice as many artists.
