The Kübler-Ross Conspiracy: Eyes


The Kübler-Ross Conspiracy was an American indie rock band formed by singer, guitarist and songwriter Jason Trojan in the early 1990s. The band was noted for its experimental sound, obscure lyrics, and eclectic instrumentation. Trojan took the band's name from a popular book about death and grieving.

Trojan's first release as The Kübler-Ross Conspiracy was the 1994 EP Mouth, a short collection of tracks featuring Trojan and several uncredited studio musicians. On the band's full-length debut album Ears, which followed shortly thereafter, Trojan was joined by Dwayne Hancock who contributed production and instrumentation. The Kübler-Ross Conspiracy released Eyes in 1998, which became their most well-known and critically acclaimed album. Although the album did not meet commercial success at the time of release, it has gone on to sell over 300,000 copies and is often ranked as one of the greatest albums of the 1990s indie genre.

Despite growing popularity, the group disbanded in 1999 after Trojan became disenchanted with touring and the music press, later having a nervous breakdown and then diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Abducted by Aliens, How to tell if you’ve been


Abducted by Aliens - How to tell if you’ve been (2006)
Trip-Hop/Nu-Jazz/IDM | MP3 | CBR 224 kbps | 64:00 | 94 MB

Abducted by Aliens is very much a crossover band, both in geographical and artistic terms. The band has three Danish members, plus a Japanese DJ and an English MC, who together create ethereal and filmic music which elegantly interweaves elements from hip hop, electronica, jazz and classical music. They seem to fit in equally well in a hip club in Tokyo or on a stage at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. With this in mind, it doesn't seem inappropriate when the group describes itself as a skateboard seeking out open spaces and the edges of urban culture.

talon sky: jacks and aces

























Featuring the number one smash hit of all time, "the night I borrowed my daddy's fifth and his forth wife," jacks and aces is jam packed with tales of debauchery and near incest.

If you like, "the night I borrowed my daddy's fifth and his fourth wife," you'll love "moon roof for my pick-up" and "shuffle my knuckles."

But there's more, much more, included here. There's "poker stud" and "mother chrome" and the tune Hot Rod magazine called "bad ass," "three mile peel-out."

Don Grimes says, "Check it out."

watermelon sugar


























Another band that took its name from a Richard Brautigan novel, Watermelon Sugar is not the same as Trout Fishing in America. However, Watermelon Sugar may regroup as Willard and His Bowling Trophies later next year.

Please note that Watermelon Sugar lead singer Kilgore Trout did not take his name from a Richard Brautigan character and that the last novel band he was a member of, namely, Ironweed, is not a Kurt Vonnegut novel.

Montana radio station KLBZ, better know as Kill Buzz, is offering four free tickets to the next Watermelon Sugar concert (if you can call it a concert) to the first caller who can correctly answer the question, "What Richard Brautigan work did Watermelon Sugar bass player Tokyo Montana use as the basis for her name?"

New World Order - Crimes Against Humanity

Country Living: New Adventures in Exotic Pet Ownership

Country Living was a cowpunk band who formed in Garden Grove, California in November 1982. The band enjoyed a strong cult following throughout the 1980s and early 1990s before the tragic spelunking death of lead singer and guitar player Slim Jim Dakota in 1993. Their music has been described as an combination of cowpunk, jangle pop, garage rock, Texas swing and rockabilly.

The band's 1987 album New Adventures in Exotic Pet Ownership is considered a classic in the cowpunk genre. It was named one of the top albums of the 1980s by MTV.com and was used as the soundtrack of the Oscar nominated documentary Slim Chances, which chronicles the life and death of Slim Jim Dakota and his girlfriend, dancer Josie Wolly.
