Slew 21: PDX 2012 // The SHOW // The PICS
A look back at records we’ve obtained from Portland bands in 2012. Call it the locals only show. It would be a “best-of” if it didn’t take every single one of this years Portland releases to fill out the episode. Needless to say, it shouldn’t come to any surprise that the Portland music scene kicks ass and this episode should serve as ample evidence to that fact. We’re looking forward to what 2013 will bring.

Slew Twenty - What's Sup? NEW STUFF
Slew 20 - This is the stuff that’s sup, fella. - The Show /// The Pics
You just want to fuckin’, how should we do this?
You do the first block.
Put them all in a pile and grab at random.
So there you go. Many beers, few thoughts = a somewhat schizophrenic playlist for this go-round. All pretty new releases save for a Makers album. Enjoy.
Mike block one:
1. Masakari - Contaigon - Masakari/Grin and Bear It split 5” (Halo of Flies, Halo47, 2012)
Trying to come up with a good description of this Cleaveland powerhouse I just think of the time 16 years ago when I got the new Extreme Noise Terror album and whilst playing it for my roommate I totally lost all self control and ended up launching myself through the sliding closet doors and all of the shelves came crashing down on top of me. Way better than Extreme Noise Terror, Masakari makes me do that whole losing self control thing over and over again. Fucking awesome.
http://masakari.bandcamp.com/
http://www.halooffliesrecords.com/
2. Protestant - A Sheep In Wolves Clothing - Protestant/Suffering Mind split 6” (Halo of Flies, HALO36, 2012)
Previous comments about Masakari apply here. The label Halo Of Flies, out of Milwaukee, is absolutely killing it with their recent releases.
http://www.protestantmilwaukee.com/
http://www.halooffliesrecords.com/
3. Conquest For Death - MGA AGWAT - One Definition of Success (Tankcrimes, 2012)
I can’t find anything about this band on the internet, mainly because there is another Conquest For Death from (maybe) Brazil that seems to dominate the internet. So far as I can tell THIS Conquest For Death is from somewhere overseas maybe, recorded in Tokyo and Oakland and lyrics are in Tagalong. Reportedly a new album will be coming out on Tankcrimes.
http://www.tankcrimes.com/
4. Deaf Mutations - My Feces Pt. 1 - Crash The Clubs 7” (Static Shock Records, SSR10, 2012)
DEAF MUTATIONS is the brainchild of Dave Brown (also of Career Suicide) and they play violent, hardcore punk that wouldn't sound out of place on the Master Tape comp. The recordings on this 7" were originally released in late 2008 as a very limited cassette that didn't really make it out of Toronto.
http://www.myspace.com/deafmutations

Chaz block two:
1. Missing Moments - Another Girl -- I’m Going To Love You Back To Life 7” (HoZac Records, HZR-120, 2012)

http://www.myspace.com/thecindysisters
3. Slugz - Empty Space - Empty Space 7” (Cowabunga Records, CBR-48, 2012)
Slugz are good, real good. In a New Bomb Turks, Teengenerate sort of way. PunkROCK!!! Cowabunga, like Halo Of Flies, is just totally at the top of their game with the quality of the records they are releasing. Buy ‘em all and start with this one.

4. Secret Prostitutes - Proses Konsistensi - The Ken Rock 7” (Ken Rock Records, KEN85, 2012)
http://www.myspace.com/thesecretprostitutes
Chaz block four:
1. White Wires - Let’s Start Over Again - WWII 12” - "In January of 2012, we went back down to Yogi's Meatlocker for a whirlwind weekend. We recorded 14 new songs for this, our 3rd album. Starting out, we had a deliberate intention to make an album a little bit different than our previous two. This time, the intention was to make a pop album. We wanted to make a record that had some dynamics, with lots of ups and downs. At the same time, we wanted to still have a lot of variety on the album from one song to the next. I think these are some of our best songs yet."
Release stats:
1st press: 200 copies white vinyl (mailorder only), 1000 copies black vinyl
http://www.thewhitewires.com/
2. The Makers - Every Night - All Night Roit 12” - The Makers have been around the Spokane music scene for quite a while, and finally are getting some deserved recognition. The quartet has a great garage sound that gets you jumping out of your seat. This CD has got some of their best tunes on it, including the infectious "Four Button Suit", "I'm your big man", and "Look both ways". They've all got a great stage presence, so check 'em out when they hit your town! - Customer Review From Amazon Dot Com
3. Mark Sultan - War Against Rock And Roll - I just played a portion from side 2 - Good stuff - http://marksultan.com/music/mark-sultan/
4. Hoax - Stuck - 7” - Western Massachusett's HOAX - http://youthattack.bigcartel.com/product/hoax-2nd-ep

Slew 19 - They Live!
Slew 19: ClubSlew -- The SHOW // The PICS
I started thinking about all the bands I’ve seen play that have put on amazing live shows. Costumes, fire, fog, lots of jumping around like idiots. All that good shit. So for this episode it’s like Slew opened a kick ass rock club and booked a full week of shows. I had to forgo a couple of obvious choices like The Meatmen, and The Dwarves, since we’ve played both those bands recently and other folks deserve credit for consistently rocking the fuck out when they play live.

Running a test of scientific research on you like a train.
So. Do people read this blog? Would you read it if it was on Tumblr? Well, it now is on Tumblr. We will also be removing all letter "e" from each post to fit the aesthetic of Tumblr. Let us know if this is an improvement. http://slewcast.tumblr.com/

Slew 17 - When I was 17 years of age
The Show /// The Pics
The following are examples of what life might have sounded like for an adolescent that is cresting the hilltop of full-blown adulthood. Mostly it's just the stuff that Mike still listens to that he listened to while he was 17. You can imagine that there are other songs he paid attention to while 17, that with age, have dissapeared with so many other embarrassing relics from childhoods past.
1) Nomeansno - Oh No! Bruno!: Wrong LP
2) Dwarves - Let’s Fuck/Drugstore: Blood Guts & Pussy LP
When I was 17 Blood Guts & Pussy was the perfect album, I can’t believe they are still alive.
http://thedwarves.com/
3) Antiseen - My God Can Beat Up Your God
My friend Dan got me into Antiseen way back when and I think I picked up this record when I was 17. I thought then (and still think now) that Jeff Clayton was one of the baddest ass mofo’s around and about five years later I was finally able to see them play in person. One of the greatest shows ever. Coming in September....Jeff Clayton bobbleheads!
http://antiseen.com/
4) Lazy Cowgirls - D.I.E. In Indiana: How It Looks - How It Is LP (Sympathy For The Record Industry, 1990)
http://www.pattodd.net/
5) Fugazi - Waiting Room
Fugazi still blew the minds of everyone I knew with this song, even though their self titled LP had been released two years earlier, when I was 15. In my opinion this is was and continues to be their best album.
http://www.dischord.com/band/fugazi/
6) Soulside - Bass
7) Melvins - Oven: Ozma LP
8) F.O.D. - Quisp: Down With People LP (Rave Records, 1990)
http://www.flagofdemocracy.net/
9) Descendents - Pep Talk: Hallraker LP (Cruz Records, 1988)
The Descendents are awesome at any age, but especially at 17.
10) Chemical People - Overdosed: The Right Thing LP (Cruz Records,
11) Snuff - Not Listening - Snuff Said LP
12) Mr. T Experience - So Long Sucker
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mr._T_Experience
13) Jawbreaker - “Split”: Jawbreaker/Samiam split 7”
When I was 16 I bought a copy of No Idea magazine that currently resides in a box upstairs and this record came free inside. No Idea was awesome that way. When I was 17 the Jawbreaker’s record Unfun was released and is now lodged firmly in punk history as one goddamn hell of an album. Because everyone I knew had a copy, I never managed to get Unfun until it was reissued a couple of years ago.
break
14) Poison Idea - Just To Get Away: Feel The Darkness LP
When I was 17 Poison Idea was either just about to release or had just released the Feel The Darkness LP and I was in full on PI worship mode.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_Idea
15) Minor Threat - Filler/Out Of Step: Live at Buff Hall 7” (Lost And Found, LF002, 1988)
When I was 17 I’d had this record for almost two years and still played the shit out of it.
Minor Threat songs are like potato chips. You can’t eat just one.
http://www.dischord.com/band/minor-threat
16) Christ On A Crutch - You Crack Me Up: Kill William Bennet 7” (Black Label Records, BLR-007, 1990)
Christ on a Crutch was a kick ass band from D.C. that later moved to Seattle. When I was 15 Spread Your Filth came out and my buddy Matt picked up a copy of it after we saw an interview with them in MRR. I borrowed the record, taped it, and played the living shit out of it for days on end. A couple of years later, I remember the two girls from Seymour, WI that printed “Sexy” ‘zine put on a show for these guys at an Eagles Club or Elk’s Lodge right before the Crime Pays When Pigs Die LP came out. As I think, it’s possible I was 18 at this time, it’s all a little foggy. Anyway, at the time Christ On A Crutch was a lot more “punk” (i.e. loud/fast) than a lot of bands that came through the Appleton/Green Bay scene. Playing in front of all of 20 or 30 people they totally killed it, demolishing all that bore witness. Every recording of theirs is worth seeking out and members later went on to play in such shitty acts as Sunny Day Real Estate and Foo Fighters.
http://www.bandtoband.com/band/christ-on-a-crutch
17) Tesco Vee & White Flag - Hot Rails to Hell: Hot Rails To Hell 7” (Lost And Found Records, 1987)
Tesco Vee was, is, and shall always be totally awesome.
http://www.tescovee.com/
18) Virginia’s Scrapings - I Am A Nice Guy: I Am A Nice Guy 7” (Elastic Records, ELS002, 1990)
From Bloomington, Indiana. No website.

SLEW 16 - Sweet Sixteen
The Show /// The Pics
Sixteen songs (plus one bonus to play us out) for our 16th Slewcast seemed appropriate. All songs except for one are new to me. Most will be new to everyone, with these records all coming in too Slew HQ over the past couple of months. Some bands, like Sharp Objects, we’ve played before while others have we have never been played before. Plus one song off the completely rad reissue of the VOM single (progenitors of Angry Samoans) that couldn’t be left out even if we had 25 songs for this episode.

Sixteen songs (plus one bonus to play us out) for our 16th Slewcast seemed appropriate. All songs except for one are new to me. Most will be new to everyone, with these records all coming in too Slew HQ over the past couple of months. Some bands, like Sharp Objects, we’ve played before while others have we have never been played before. Plus one song off the completely rad reissue of the VOM single (progenitors of Angry Samoans) that couldn’t be left out even if we had 25 songs for this episode.

Slew 12 - Peppermint Schnapps, and other bad ideas.
Slew 12 - The Show///
This past year SlewHQ managed to acquire 143 records recorded in 2011. Trying to come up with a list of favorites, let alone a true top ten list, proved to be difficult. I managed to ween things down to a top 40 but we didn’t think anyone would ever listen to a four hour podcast. To tighten things up I called names out from the shortlist and Chaz yelled “yes” or “no”. This episode of the Slewcast is the result. The order songs are played in no way reflects some sort of ranking. And for the record, in our opinion the top release of the year happens to be a tie between the Smart Cops LP and the Night Birds LP proving that hand claps and surf guitar are true equals.

Slew 11 - Damn! To bad it’s not episode 12...
Slew 11 - The Show /// The Pics
Have you ever snuck-up-on Mike’s record collection, pulled 16 records, and listened to them. If not, this is what it sounds like. It truly is a great collection. Diverse in time, age, varying genres, and sizes. 12”, 10”, 7”...Punk, Metal, Pop...Enjoy the random selection.
1. Mr. T Experience: So Long Sucker - Making Things With Light LP (Lookout! Records, LK-37, 1990)
The first thing you notice about this album is there is a Light Bright on the cover.
http://www.myspace.com/themrtexperience
http://frankportman.com/music.html
2. Camero Werewolf Band: Problem Child - Our Boy Roy (compilation) LP (Telephone Explosion Records, TER017, 2010)
It took some thinking about, but we figured out this album is all Roy Orbison songs.
The singer of Camero Werewolf went on to start Live Fast Die. That’s all I know.
http://www.impose-records.com/artists/livefastdie
3. Hellacopters: Oh Yeah Alright! - Disappointment Blues 10” (White Jazz, Jazz 015LP, 1998)
The Swedish music scene was crippled with bad disco for a long time. The Hellacopters helped put a stop to that. Thank Odin.
http://www.hellacopters.com/
4. Devo: Planet Earth - Freedom Of Choice LP (Warner Brothers, BSK 3435, 1980)
Devo is best known for wearing strange outfits. Their music is really very good though.
5. Science of Yabra: Vengeance Will Be Mine - Check The Union LP (Frenetic Records, FHU001, 2005)
Saw these guys play a gig a bunch of years ago. Although I liked their songs, I haven't listened to them in a while. It’s always fun listening to old stuff again.
http://www.myspace.com/scienceofyabra2
6. Shellac: WingWalker - Uranus 7” (Touch and Go Records, TG124, 1993)
Good noisy rock music from one of the most known music producers of Chicago.

9. High On Fire: Frost Hammer - Snakes For The Divine 2xLP (E1 Entertainment, E1E-LP-4802, 2010)
More like Celtic Frost Hammer....What? Yeah. You know. From before they stated using too much keyboard. .
http://highonfire.net/
http://www.highonfire.com/main.html
10.Trap Them: Day 40: Dead Fathers Wading In The Underground - Filth Rations 12” EP (Southern Lord, Lord 115, 2010)
Hardcore sludge. Posi-durge. Grunge-O. What’s with the day and numbering convention to each song title?
http://www.myspace.com/trapthem
http://www.npr.org/2011/03/22/134088291/first-listen-trap-them-darker-handcraft

12. Stikky: The Song About Annihilating Posers - Where’s My Lunch-pail? LP (Lookout Records, Lookout 6, 1988)
I hate posers. Their fucked-up, fake-ass, stupid-head dummies. Let’s get shit headed!!!.
http://www.myspace.com/stikkymusic
13. Circle Jerks: Junk Mail - Golden Shower Of Hits LP (LAX Records, LAX 1051, 1983)
The first thing you notice about this albums is the pissing onto gold records in a urinal on the cover. Classic!
http://www.punknews.org/bands/circlejerks
14. Ramones: Now I Want To Sniff Some Glue - Self Titled LP (Sire/Nova, 1976, Italian pressing)
Might be my favorite Ramones song. What’s yours?
http://ramonesworld.com/
15. Poison Idea: Short Fuse - Kings Of Punk LP (Pusmort Records, 0012-10, 1986)
Chaz - “Seriously. How many Poison Idea albums do you have , Mike?”
Mike - “All of them. But, I need to find the special Portland release of this album that comes with two big posters.”
http://www.myspace.com/blankblackoutvacant
http://www.tkorecords.com/
16. Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter: How Will We Know? - Like, Love, Lust & The Halls Of The Open Soul 2xLP (Southern Lord, Sunn 89, 2008)
This song just didn’t fit into any of the other sets of music. I thought about just putting it back, but that would be cheating. Besides, it’s a fucking great song. Check it out.

16. Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter: How Will We Know? - Like, Love, Lust & The Halls Of The Open Soul 2xLP (Southern Lord, Sunn 89, 2008)
This song just didn’t fit into any of the other sets of music. I thought about just putting it back, but that would be cheating. Besides, it’s a fucking great song. Check it out.
