Happy Mother Earth Day!

On Split LP by Black Pus & Oozing Wound -- I know what you need / And this is not it! It may not be what I need, but goddamn, it's what I want. Coming off a fourteen-minute, blown-to-bits, repeato-drum-and-noise freakout called "Total Eclipse," Brian Chippendale, aka Hundred Arms, aka one-half of Lightning Bolt shrieks about my exigencies. Food, water, shelter, love, etc. I get it. Fried noise records? Probably not on that list. Still, after the past couple of weeks, "cathartic abandon" is pretty high on my list of wants--maybe, possibly, arguably, despite Mr. Chippendale's assertion, an actual necessity of sorts. And since I'm not into drugs, booze is mostly a drag, and my sense of self-preservation is too acute for adventure sports, this split LP is just the ticket, an ideal boot to the brain, something to jab my reset button. If press releases are to believed, a recent Black Pus / Oozing Wound double bill at the Empty Bottle in Chicago mercilessly obliterated ear drums, leaving scores stunned and nearly deaf, shaking the very foundations of legendary venue. Inspired by the destruction they had wrought, the two acts decided to join forces. Split LP is the resulting slab of sonic terror, featuring two new offerings from Black Pus, and three from Oozing Wound on the flip.

“Retrash” is a fancy coffee table book showcasing the work of 82 designers and artists from 20 countries leading the global upcycling movement.

Listen safely.

A gnarly song off one of the gnarliest records of this year. Chi town awesomeness.
