Grungecore Vol 1 - Nirvana covers

Breakcore just can't get past that messed up ultra hardcore rave nightmare for me. This must be somewhat of a novelty record, I couldn't find examples of these particular tracks anywhere the rest of what was out there was just breakneck layers of unbpm-able beats and changes punctuated by b-movie samples. I can't see how this could possibly be good. Good idea, but I would be shocked if I actually listened to this more than once. From FukdUp records with an unnavigatable website, I have no idea if we can expect more electronic throwups like this...

From Applecore mailorder in good ol brooklyn.

V/A "Grungecore Vol. 1" 7" (FukdUp Records) Yay! A new weirdo electronic label in the U.S.! Comin' out of Seattle these folks decided to have breakcore peoples remix grunge tunes. The first sees Shitmat and Ladyscraper remix Nirvana tunes, "Negative Creep" and "Senseless Apprentice" respectively. Shitmat gives us a nice dirty gabber version of the early track while Ladyscraper mixes the original's drums nicely with a fuzzed throb and a friend's singing. A nice collector's piece with hand-sewn flannel sleeves, a SubPop logo pisstake and limited to 500. Dope.

Liars picture disc + dvd


I had to pick 'worst songs' for a year end looserecord.com thing and glancing at my itunes ratings I saw I gave 'Houseclouds' 1 star. That's definitely going on my list.
I read a rolling stone review that 'Houseclouds' was the Liars doing happy mondays. (!!?) Fuck...that sounds like hell to me.
How did this make it onto the album? I can't believe they just thought it was a good idea, that it completely came from them. Did Mute thin they maybe had a dance hit? After Drums... were they looking to have a seemingly solid hit to recoup the packaging costs or something? I want to delete it from the album. It gets stuck in my head and in the worst way.
These tracks have been reviewed at Norman records as aggressive and noisy. Thank god. They are so good at it...maybe that's it, they wanted to mess with everyone's expectations. Genius.
Supposedly this Dvd includes a cover of Nirvana's territorial pissings, which I definitely want to see, still it is a lot for both.
I've been trying to see if I can find out anything about the label and it's upcoming releases...but no luck. I guess they are planning more releases like this.

This is special collaboration with Liars and Heartfast records. New 2 songs on picture disc 7” and rare live footage on DVD. This is all in one package(come with both!). These 2 songs are exclusive. Noise, aggressiveness, and excitement in which you will see a new side of Liars. Rare footage from their world tour is on the DVD Heartfast is new record label which intends to release collectable items like special picture disc 7”s, 12”s and DVDs…. These formats are more attractive than regular CD. Artwork by Flaspar’s Jessie Jackson. The footage on DVD is more lively almost as if you were at the show. Tracks on the 7 include 1. Leopard on my right, 2. Dear. DVD tracks include: 1. Do As The Birds Do, Eat The Remains, 2. Hold Hands And It'll Happen Anyway, 3. A Visit From Drum 4. Territorial Pissings (Nirvana cover)

$18.99 from Insound.
