By Lindsaygabel Triple Take: Watch the Throne B volume 10 - issue 1 - tuesday, september 6, 2011 - uvm, burlington, vt uvm.edu/~watertwr - thewatertower.tumblr.com by lauradillon My main motives for study abroad were intellectual: learn about a new cul- ture; challenge myself and my preconcep- tions; learn a foreign language. Th at said, a juicy summer romance would have been nice too. When I imagined what my study abroad experience would be like, I fi gured there would be some kind of whirlwind romance with a guy in my program. Sadly this dream did not translate into reality. When I arrived at my program in Anta- nanarivo, Madagascar, I discovered that there was not a single male in the entire group. Don’t get me wrong…the all girl group turned out to be wonderful. But two weeks kitty faraji in, when we were getting tired of eating rice for three meals a day and shower- ing with buckets, a casual hookup started looking pretty good. So where were you guys?

  • Interview with Steve Albini from Shellac,The Providence Garage
    Alt-Nation: Start the Holiday Season with Some Shows Murphy’s Law It is always one shit-show of a party when Jimmy G from NYC and the boys from Murphy’s Law roll into town. Murphy’s Law are bona fide hardcore legends that date back to the 1980s, and they have never slowed down or lost their bite. Expect beer to be flying and shirtless old dudes to be dancing as Murphy’s Law play all the hits. I’ve been itching to catch Folding Foreign Car for a while, so that’s reason enough to go early and stay late. Murphy’s Law, Held Hostage, Hellbound, and Folding Foreign Car rock The Café at the Parlor in Newport on December 2. Vudu Sister If the hardcore of Murphy’s Law isn’t your thing, then consider catching the vampire campfire of Vudu Sister. Vudu Sister released their third album, Mortis Nervosa, earlier this year and it served up an ample helping of Victorian grunge. By that I mean that the mostly acoustic album was a mix of gothic lyrical themes and folk music that had the head of the 18th century and the body from the 1990s. Haunt The House is a good match on this bill in what promises to be night of eerie tunes at a reasonable volume. Vudu Sister, Haunt The House, and Warbler Roost play Firehouse 13 on December 2. Black Oil Incinerator This is just a great, loud local rock show. I put Black Oil Incinerator at the top because they are the headliner, but I could just as easily go on about Jets Can’t Land or Tall Teenagers for the duration of this column.

Expect intense, passionate, and radical stuff from this blog. mardi 13 avril 2021 Drumcorps - Better Days (2021) Better Days is in my opinion the best release from Drumcorps, having the radicality and impact of "Grist" (the frst album from 2006) but less samples-based and with a more condensed and better songwriting, while the melodic/shoegazy element that appeared on "Falling Forward" is feature in the Better Days song, with a good result. And if you don't know yet Drumcorps it is an Aron Spectre project mixing breakcore and metal, jungle loops and beats and hm-2 guitars and blast beats. Aaron Spectre is also doing the vocals for the first time (it's not sampled vocals any more). Cyber grind? junglecore? Grindbreak? Drum & grind? Has been tried before but rarely so successfully.
