At any point in time you may catch me watching television, usually an Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVD, Comedy Central, or Cartoon Network. However, lately, I've been watching The Food Network almost nonstop. No, seriously. So with my diligent viewing of shows like 'Food 911!' and 'Inside Dish with Rachael Ray' I've decided to present you with the following recipe.

Title: Grace Gale 'A Few Easy Steps to Secure Heli-Camel Safety' Casserole

Categories: Casseroles, Cheese, Sassy, Shrieked Vocals

Yield: 9 Tracks of 'sassy screamo'

Ingredients:

1 lb of Sassiness via The Blood Brothers or ground turkey (Cook's choice)

8 oz of attempted post-hardcore

1 Onion (chopped)

1/2 Cup of disposable riffage

1 Can of tomato paste

1/2 Cup stupid humor

1 copy of any album from the discography of The Letters Organize (Cook's choice)

A dash of 'dance party massacre' - As noted in track 3 'I Don't Know How to Put This' But I'm Kind of a Big Deal'

1 pkg. Macaroni and Cheese

In large skillet, mix the Sassiness via The Blood Brothers with an attempt at post hardcore, onion and disposable riffage. Stir in the tomato paste with the stupid humor. Cook the macaroni and cheese according to package directions, adding milk, cheese, and the dance party massacre to the mixture. Cook on medium heat for 33 minutes and 49 seconds, or to an album length you desire. Sign to Blackout! Records, mix well, press to compact disc, and serve.

Tune in next week when I show you how to cook up a tough guy hardcore cake!

Økse
Backwoodz Recordz (2024)

Økse is a gathering of brilliant, creative minds. The project's roster is pristine, with avant-jazz phenoms Mette Rasmussen on saxophone, Savannah Harris on drums, and Petter Eldh on bass/synths/samplers joining electronic artist and multidisciplinery extraordinaire Val Jeanty (of the fantastic Turning Jewels Into Water project.) The result is a multi-faceted work that stands on top of multiple sonic pillars, as … Read more

Final

What We Don't See
Room40 (2024)

Justin K. Broadrick's prolific output keeps giving, and may it never stop! The latest release is one of Broadrick's earliest projects, Final, which started in the power electronics tradition but since its resurrection in the early '90s, it is solidly standing in the ambient realm. Final's new full-length What We Don't See continues on the same trajectory, relishing drone's minimalistic … Read more

Bambies

Snotty Angels
Spaghetty Town Records, Wanda Records (2024)

The digital files I’ve been listening to as I write this review are all tagged to begin with the band name, e.g. “Bambies Teenage Night,” “Bambies Love Bite,” etc. It seems like a fitting metaphor. The Bambies play the kind of Ramones-adjacent garage-punk that’s often self-referential and in on their own joke. The Bambies play leather jacket-clad, straight-forward punky songs … Read more
