Sponge's debut album, Rotting Pinata, was released way back in 1994 and it's always been an album I could listen to from start to finish, repeatedly, even after *gasp* 17 years - one of the pleasant surprise purchases I bought after seeing Molly (Sixteen Candles) on MTV. You know, back when MTV played music. Soundgarden's Superunknown was another great album I bought during that era, which I bought only because I liked Black Hole Sun.

I brought Rotting Pinata out for a spin on my run tonight and was reminded just how good it is, collectively. If you have this album in your collection, it's worth dusting it off, getting some good headphones, and finding a dark room for uninterrupted listening.

You may remember singles Molly (Sixteen Candles) and Rainin' and you probably know Plowed, as it seems to have had a fairly lengthy shelf-life on rock radio. Despite the fact that they did have a few hits, including Wax Ecstatic on their sophomore effort…

Latest releases from Sarutra's Music:


SMph026: Flat Affect - The Harvest

Flat Affect isn't pretty when it comes to music. He likes it both ways, going harsh from time to time, but always coming back home to the dark (ambient) side. If we had cookies, he ate them all. The Harvest is a collection from compilation tracks of last year. Half of them were made but never released, the other half was well received and stars on a couple of good albums. There doesn't seem to be a certain here, we jump from one style to another between tracks, but they are arranged in such a way that each track complements the next or the previous. It ultimately climaxes in a couple of 4 second tracks. Prepare to be hissed and crackle-popped right up to heaven! Limited to 30 copies.

SMph027: Unisono - I Canti Iniziaticit

Unisono consists of three members, each adding a new set of instruments and a new range of moods to their music. …

2 new albums released on Sarutra's Music, one a 3" album by newcomer Pale Tongues, the other is in a special new format by ___dREàgänN|||||| and a lot of other artists contributing.


SMlp001: ___dREàgänN|||||| - Reincarnation
With the release of this album, we're starting off a new type of release here at Sarutra's Music, dubbed the "lp". 2-cd albums in a self-constructed cardboard mini version of a double-lp album. Given that you can see a third 3" disc, that's just an exception on the format. Prices for tehse albums are a little higher than regular albums (10€), but that stands to reason, as you get 2 cd's and it comes in a very nice handmade package.
The first disc contains a 2 brand new tracks, called Reincarnation, which is also the title of the album. It mostly contains analogue noise, recorded in numerous locations, mixed in with some digitally created home sampling. There is an apparent use of both ambient and field recordings, and harsh wall noise, even in one and the same track.

Posted at The Monthly Mixtape
This week's theme: "Geek" is this month's theme. You have free reign to make as geeky a mix as you like, e.g. songs in the key of B flat minor, and/or by bands with the same initials, and/or at a similar BPM, etc. Or you could widen the theme and mix together songs about geeks, computers or trains.
The reason I call it a Start Me Up playlist is because all the songs in the collection start within the first 5 seconds. That is, the lyrics begin almost immediately after clicking play.

Most of these songs are catchy and fairly accessible. It's mostly indie rock songs with some alternative rock from the 90s/00s. If you like it, send me a message on my wall. It's 79 minutes so it'll fit on a CD (people still use CDs?).

P.S. I recommend track 14.

1. Metric - "Gimme Sympathy" (Wikipedia) (MySpace)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqldwoDXHKg

…

This has been a work in progress for a while. I started this compilation a few years ago & thought i'd put it together in no time... however, that wasn't so easy. It took longer than i anticipated, plus i kept changing my mind on what bands to include. But gradually, thanks to the use of Last.FM, Wikipedia, & xhochy.org, I was finally able to filter & narrow it down a lot easier. It will still take quite a bit of time to include songs & links, but at least for the time being, i have started the band lists. More to be updated later...

New releases from Sarutra's Music:


SMph014: Whitewater Orgasm - Lust Year

A new harsh noise project by the person behind Hypochondriosis blasts of this new year. What can only be described as an angsty nostalgic view on last year, makes me stroke my beard in pleasure, wondering why I'm calling it harsh... It has the sound and density of eardrum wrecking panic attacks, but mastered with such expertise that it acually sounds soothing again. Expect new levels of insanity, overlayed with primal screams and floppy guitar twitchings. Limited to 30 copies.

SMph015: Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt - A Gathering Of Geminis

A sizzling welcome to a horoscopic journey through the imagination of Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt. He tells us his story behind the crackle pop of a mechanic campfire, accompanied by the sounds of the forest where we are camping. …
