1993 sub-pop 7". Tom is the best Codeine Song. I would have started this band but it wouldn't have been as good. Best lyrics ever.

Grandfather Clock - some old songs




Grandfather Clock is this really nice guy Jono from Buffalo, New York. It sounds like Owen. It's really good. He sent me two demos for free - So I sent him a small donation back. You should too. Don't be a jerk.

Hopefully he's going to be playing Albany, March 19th with dustfrom1000 years and someone else (could be you??)

The song broken teeth resonates so perfectly with anyone who considers themselves involved in DIY and the complex social infrastructure behind it, and how some people aren't there for the same reasons you are.

Rockets & Bluelights 10"















The picture above is an aerial view of Albany.

I went to school there, had the most incredible experiences of my life there, still kinda live there, Met the most amazing and influential people there, and learned more about myself than I ever could have possibly done on Staten Island. So I have to post this.

As I'm posting this I'm worrying that I won't be able to express in words how much I really do love this. This is the best band ever to come out of Albany hands down.

I started school fall of 2006, Just when they had stopped playing shows. It's so awesome that almost everyone in Albany, regardless of petty scene affiliation - loves this band. A lot of people I've spoken to describe seeing them live as positively cathartic. They might still have a copy of this 10" at last vestige, if not redder records has copies for sale online. There's a demo with 4 more songs, and a discography with all their songs and additional instrumentally magnificent jams. Both of which are impossible to find.

Sean and I are pretty sure we heard them jamming one night at Scarlet East, and it was fucking breathtaking. The door was closed and they were jamming out for like 15 minutes straight of well-coordinated brilliance. We were too shy to knock on the door 0_o

This band was the catalyst that opened the door to so many avenues of self discovery. This was the reason I picked up a guitar. This was the reason I did a lot of things. I am so glad that these wonderful people decided to make music. I am so glad I own this on vinyl. Perfection.




For fans of enjoying/appreciating life.




This band made me a better person.

Jacob and I




Jacob and I consists of two bassists and a drummer.They played like second at the best show I've ever been to hands down. Lucky I got a demo before it rained (show was outside) and all their merch was soaked. This was back in the summer of 07. Good times. Great Band. They should write more stuff.

The last song is divine.

Mako- S/T 7"



This came in the mail today. Mako is taken from the toxic pollutant in Final Fantasy 7(The best video game ever created by the hands of man) so regardless of the music I already like it. Mako sounds like Capsule. More bands should emulate capsule granted they have the talent to do so. Overall I wished they had wrote a full length and changed a few things. Great potential here. I'm sure their sophomore release will fill in those blanks.

Track 4. More of track 4.
