Attn Los Angeles Area Hessians

Ultimate IC bros Hazzards Cure will be in LA tonight only.  Download their excellent demo here and check out Clints blog here. 

I'll be DJing this show but I'm having trouble selecting the right records. It's either going to be nothing but Inquisition or this:

Decisions decisions. 

Polish Film Poster Nerd Test

IC readers tend to fall into one of two categories: enormous music nerds, or ridiculous film nerds. Those that are equal parts both, probably write here. If this is not depicted clearly in my Venn diagram, then I would direct you below, to my van diagram.

If you caught Eric's post on Polish movie posters about 2 years ago then you already know the Poles bring it hard when it comes to artvertising (Copryright IC LTD).  Speaking of bringing a hard pole, today I issue a challenge to our illustrious readership. Whoever can name the most of the following movie posters will win a prize, sent to your home, directly from the boss, Shelby Cobrahs. I have no idea what it will be and I haven't even asked Shelby if this was cool, but I know the dude well and I know his uncanny ability to bust out an impressive package at a moments notice. So if you win this, you will receive something in the mail. It might be two pieces of cooked bacon in a greasy envelope but just think about how excited you'll be, dripping with anticipation. Leave your answers in the comments and don't cheat by learning Polish. I'll know. 



Biggie With the Hype Shit

HERE


It occurred to me embarrassingly late in life that all of the rap stars I loved in the 90's must have lo-fi demotapes buried somewhere that would eventually rise to the surface. I posted the Snoop demotape a while back but you guys probably didn't download it (because you're racists). This blog has just as much Rap as it does Black Metal so I thought I'd give posting another incredible hype demo a try.





This is probably the best hype demo of all time. If you guys have any better ones, I challenge you to post them in the comments. Anyone have a Too Short demo? What about Richie Rich or Mac 10 or something like that. Teenage E40? Anyone?

GPW - On being "postable"

The other day, while fully enjoying Inquisition week over at The Living Doorway, an interesting accusation was projected in the wrong direction.  Although the incident was properly responded to here, the question of posturing and falseness has remained on my mind since. Obviously, Shelby is not a poser. I’ve seen him up close (camo shorts, pony tail, High Life tattoos, lets just say he’s not signing to Century Media anytime soon). But, what lingered is the idea that sometimes we as bloggers are compelled to post things based on a criteria that uses something other than quality as a measuring stick, a criteria which uses rarity and trueness to determine whether or not something is postable.  Now im not accusing any particular blogger of posting records they’re not crazy about, I’m simply acknowledging an impulse which I believe exists amongst bloggers, perpetuated by a need for social dominance. Is it possible that posting obscure records has become too competitive? Is it possible that even the true catch themselves posing?

even when Shelby talks about his excitement for the new Weezer album, he does not pose

So since it’s GPW, here’s Urfaust’s Verräterischer, Nichtswürdiger Geist, a record too postable not to post, and posting it is my guilty pleasure. No mention of this odd black metal two piece on IC, TLD, ANW, Cosmic Hearse or any of the other big blogs so it looks like the victory is mine. But not so fast. Once an obscure record is deemed postable enough to post, it's time for the commenters to jockey for status by proclaiming that they had already arrived, waiting for the world to catch up. "I have this on invisible vinyl" "I met these guys once, we're best friends" "I was more into these dudes before they bought instruments".

Classical bow chugging sections, bizarre vocals, difficult German song titles, a back catalogue of rare EPs, and to top it all off it was gifted to me by king bro Farron Loathing. Sure, this album is totally good, but what makes me feel guilty about it is that all I really wanted to post was this:
