New mp3 today from Denmark's menfolk. Let me tell you: this is the shit. Heavy, angular indierock ala Shellac, Jesus Lizard and Cop Shoot Cop. And just like the latter of those three, they've got two bass players for extra bludgeoning power. I can never understand why there aren't more bands like this because I love this stuff. C'mon, why wouldn't you embrace a genre sometimes referred to so lovingly as "pigfuck". This isn't as antagonizing as some of that scene's early practitioners (Big Black, Pussy Galore, etc.), but that sound! I can't get enough. The double low-end attack is the icing on the cake. Give me more!

MP3: Alog - Catch that totem!
I'm kind of cheating with today's mp3 post. my normal modus operandi for Fridays is to post an older track and this song only kinda/sorta qualifies as this particular piece was originally released in 2002 on m-narsitik, but I only just heard it for the first time on the recently released "Catch that totem! (1998-2005)" collection that Alog recently released via melektronikk. I consider these guys to be my favorite electronic act right now (their latest album of all-new material "miniatures" made my top 10 for 2005) and this new disc of odds and ends is a fine addition to their discography. This particular is based on the song "Vitamine" by the Swiss group Velma, but Alog didn't have the lyrics at the time and decided to make up their own instead and ended singing the tracklist for the "Duck-Rabbit" album that they were working on at the time. Having never heard the original, I can't really judge how well it compares, but I like it just the same. Note: I hope to be getting copies of this CD in the mailorder by the end of the month, but you can always order it directly from the band or melektronikk.com/" target=_blank>the label.
