Now Spinning at Third Eye Music & Video for Friday 3/29/24

NEW SHABAZZ PALACES DROPS THIS FRIDAY WITH ROBED IN DARKNESS!!!

Loser Edition on Ruby Vinyl. On March 29, 2024, Shabazz Palaces’ two new mini-albums, Robed in Rareness and Exotic Birds of Prey, come out on CD and LP. Shabazz Palaces is masterminded by Ishmael Butler (Digable Planets), whose relentless drive to reimagine hip-hop – even as he enjoys his fifth decade on Earth – remains undiminished. When Robed in Rareness hit digital platforms in 2023, NPR Music called it “enchanting and subversive, ” while Pitchfork observed that “the futurism of Shabazz Palaces has always been interwoven with the past and present, their songs scintillating tapestries of old-school shit talk, proggy psychedelia, and melodic flossing. Robed in Rareness is draped in this multiplicity as Butler and a team of close collaborators swagger across eras of rap.”

NEW YOT CLUB ARRIVES WITH YOT CLUB’S RUFUS

Ryan Kaiser has already made a name for himself creating daydreamy, sun-blasted, Polaroid-pop as Yot Club. With his second full-length, Rufus, Kaiser is expanding his sonic palette and challenging his own established modes of music making by letting collaborators in. The record includes co-writes with the likes of Tommy English (Carly Rae Jepsen, Kacey Musgraves), and singer Charli Adams, with Patrick Wimberly (formerly one-half of Chairlift) on mixing duties, and the result is a collection of songs that sounds bolder and brighter. From the shimmering surf-pop of opener “Stuntman,” to the minor chord angst and quiet-loud-quiet pulse of “New Day,” to The Strokesian swoon of album closer “Lazy Eyes,” Kaiser lo-fi hooks have a new cinematic scope. It continues Kaiser’s coming of age – looking back, picking it all apart, trying to work it all out, and constantly pushing forward.

LEGENDARY AUSTIN TX PUNK ROYALTY THE BIG BOYS GET A NEW VINYL RELEASE OF THEIR FINAL ALBUM “NO MATTER HOW LONG THE LINE IS AT THE CAFETERIA, THERE’S ALWAYS A SEAT!”

The final album originally released in 1985 from Austin, TX, punk icons, Big Boys, now available on limited edition 180 gram purple vinyl. The Big Boys got their start in the late 1970’s Austin punk scene. The band was fronted by the occasionally cross-dressing Randy “Biscuit” Turner, with Tim Kerr on guitar, Chris Gates playing bass, and a series of drummers – the best known of which is Rey Washam (Scratch Acid). Unlike the rest of the early hardcore scene of the day, they weren’t afraid to stray away from superfast tempos in favor of some nice white boy skate funk. Beyond the funk tendencies, the band at times played an early brand of post-punk not unlike their contemporaries The Minutemen. Thanks to their inclusion on some of Thrasher magazine’s first “skate comps,” the Big Boys were hugely popular amongst the new 80’s skate punk crowd. They were also known for the encouragement of crowd participation, breaking down the barriers between performer and audience. They even covered Kool & the Gang, never wavering when venturing into uncharted musical territory. Now y’all, go start your own band

JAMMIN’ SAM MILLER DELIVERS AN EPIC RECREATION / RESTORATION OF THE SUPER METROID SOUNDTRACK!!!

Double vinyl LP pressing. Full HD re-creation/restoration of the legendary soundtrack for 1994 Exploration / Action-Adventure / Sci-Fi / Alien video game Super Metroid by Louisiana-based composer and producer Jammin’ Sam Miller. Jammin’ Sam Miller explains: “Composed by Kenji Yamamoto. Recreated by me. This was made possible by locating the original instrument samples from workstation keyboards and drum machines before they were put into the game and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience.”

JAPANESE DEATH METAL TITANS COFFINS DELIVER THEIR NEXT MUST-HAVE “SINISTER OATH”, A MUST-HAVE FOR FANS OF OLD SCHOOL DEATH MEATL!

Japan’s Coffins return with their crushing new full-length album, Sinister Oath. Recorded ahead of the band’s 25th anniversary in Tokyo, Sinister Oath further cements Coffins’ legacy as one of the most putrid sounding and uncompromising Old School Death Metal bands in the world. – From the chest-pounding, drudgy opening of “Spontaneous Rot” to the hammer-crushing riffage of “Things Infestation” thereafter, Sinister Oath creeps and crawls through a cavernous space firmly rooted in no-frills Death Metal. The band’s signature sound is forever-present: equal parts bleak, doomy, crusty, disgusting, and wholly heavy. – Featuring album art by Axel Hermann (Asphyx, Bloodbath, Demolition Hammer, Sodom, and more,) Sinister Oath is Coffins at their most vile!

MAJESTY CRUSH DELIVERS A SLICE OF SHOEGAZE WITH “BUTTERFLIES DON’T GO AWAY” 🔥

Driven by lust-fueled limerence and drifting far from conformity, Butterflies Don’t Go Away captures Majesty Crush’s transient, yet subversive mark on the landscape of American shoegaze to come.

CRUST PUNK LEGENDS NAUSEA GET THEIR TWO CLASSIC EPS PRESSED ON ONE SLAB OF DOPE MUST-HAVE VINYL!!!

Svart Records release NYC crust punk band Nausea’s two legendary EP’s on one remastered 12″ in March 2024! Crust punk originates from the misty moors and factory cities of the UK. Since the ’80s, countless bands have been established to play their dirty apocalyptic ruckus in the vein of Amebix, Antisect, and Axegrinder. At the same time, across the ocean, in the squats of New York’s Lower East Side, bassist John John Jesse founded Nausea. Svart Records is releasing Nausea’s two legendary EPs in 12″ format for the first time ever, including the Cybergod 7″ from 1991 – with a bonus track, “Here Today,” from the same recording sessions – and the Lie Cycle 7″ from 1992. All tracks are remastered from the original, untouched studio tapes by Jack Control (Darkthrone, Kohti Tuhoa, Fear). Tribal and rocking apocalyptic crust for apocalyptic times. The Cybergod lineup might be the most legendary era of Nausea, where the tracks reach almost epic proportions. The EP is pretty much the blueprint of crust, where Vic Venom’s hypnotic and rocking guitar riffs meet the tribal drumming of Roy Mayorga. Al Hoon’s and Amy Miret’s dueling vocals spit out timeless issues dealing with consumerism and the hypocrisies of organized religions. Musically, the Lie Cycle EP rocks out more in the faster and straightforward style, where Discharge meets Motörhead, and lyrics reflect the times when war and nuclear destruction are still the plague of mankind. Nausea’s timeline lasted only seven years, but they managed to create a cult following with their true dedication to the punk scene and played shows in the squats of Europe and the eastern part of Europe. Their music is timeless, unpleasant music for unpleasant times, but hey! At least it’s more fun to rock out to the apocalypse!

Third Eye Spotlight: Magic the Gathering Outlaws of Thunder Junction

OUTLAWS OF THUNDER JUNCTION BRINGS AN OLD WEST TWIST TO THE WORLDS OF MAGIC THE GATHERING!

Howdy, stranger. Can’t say I’ve seen you here before. Now that the Omenpaths have opened Thunder Junction to the Multiverse at large, things ain’t as secretive as they used to be. Some may be frazzled at sudden company, but not me. Every new acquaintance is a new opportunity. But opportunities are just regrets without preparation.

This new set looks dope as hell, bringing an OLD WEST aesthetic to MTG, and we’re STOKED on this!

We cannot wait for this one to drop, and when it arrives on 4/19/24, we know you’re gonna love it, Third Eye Faithful!

CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER OUTLAWS OF THUNDER JUNCTION FOR THIRD EYE PICK-UP🛒 OR THIRD EYE SHIPS📬

So, let’s get you prepared for Thunder Junction. New cards, new abilities, and plenty of loot are looking for a good home.

Before we dive into the new mechanics, let’s talk Limited. As is usually the case, any card you open in Sealed Deck and Draft events is part of your card pool and can be played. It doesn’t matter if it’s OTJ, BIG, OTP, SPG, or OTC. It belongs to you, and it’s yours to include in your deck if you want. What do those expansion codes mean? I’m glad you asked.

The OUTLAWS OF THUNDER JUNCTION release contains a tumblewagg’s bounty worth of cards. Of course, there’s the main set with expansion code OTJ. There’s also a separate subset called The Big Score, giving you a peek at what everyone’s scheming after. These 30 cards have expansion code BIG. OTJ and BIG cards are legal for Standard play, as well as most other Constructed formats, including Commander.

But wait! There’s more. You may open cards from a 65-card bonus sheet called Breaking News. These newspaper-inspired reprints are all potential crimes (we’ll get to that in a minute) and have the expansion code OTP.

Or, you may be visited by one of the Special Guests cards. These 10 reprints have the expansion code SPG. OTP and SPG cards are legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage. Individual cards from these sets will continue to be legal in any format in which they are already legal.

To round out the gang, new Commander cards with expansion code OTC can be found in some Collector Boosters as well as the Commander decks. Reprints with expansion code OTC complete those Commander decks. Those cards are legal in Commander, naturally, as well as Legacy and Vintage. Any reprint is legal in any format in which it was already legal.

OUTLAWS

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to the company you keep. Several cards in the set refer to outlaws.

An outlaw, used as a noun, is any permanent with one or more of these creature types: Assassin, Mercenary, Pirate, Rogue, and Warlock. You’ll often see abilities such as the one Rakish Crew has that refer to “an outlaw you control.” This phrase refers only to permanents on the battlefield, not spells or cards anywhere else. Outlaws are almost always creatures, but a kindred permanent (a little-seen card type previously known as tribal) with one or more of the right creature types can also be an outlaw. Go figure.

Outlaw can also be used as an adjective to describe something else, such as a spell or a card in a zone other than the battlefield. For example, an ability may trigger whenever you cast an outlaw spell or return an outlaw creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

COMMITTING A CRIME

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to how far you’re willing to go to get what you want. The new rules term committing a crime covers a range of common actions you’ll probably be happy to take during your games. Several cards in the set will even reward you for doing so.

You commit a crime as you cast a spell, activate an ability, or put a triggered ability on the stack that targets one or more of the following:

  • An opponent
  • A spell or ability an opponent controls
  • A permanent an opponent controls
  • A card in an opponent’s graveyard

If a spell or ability doesn’t target anything on that list, it’s not a crime, even if it targets something like an opponent’s card in exile or has a sinister-sounding name that would be a felony in many jurisdictions.

Once you cast the spell, activate the ability, or put the triggered ability on the stack, the crime has been committed. It doesn’t matter what happens to the spell or ability (or any of its targets) after that point.

SPREE

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to not settling when you can have it all. Spree is a new keyword found on several modal cards in this set.

Each mode includes an additional cost that must be paid to cast the spell. You must choose one or more modes as you cast a spell with spree, but no single mode can be chosen more than once. If you cast a spell with spree without paying its mana cost, you must still choose one or more modes and pay those additional costs. The mana cost is covered though, so at least you enjoy a nice discount.

Spree cards have a modified frame that includes a plus sign by the mana cost—this is just a reminder and has no actual rules meaning. Remember that no matter which modes you choose and which additional costs you pay, the mana value of a spell with spree is based only on its mana cost. For example, Final Showdown’s mana value is always 1, even if you chose all three modes.

MOUNTS AND SADDLE

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to not standing still for too long. Find yourself a trusty Mount and saddle up. Thunder Junction, let’s ride!

Mount is a new creature type. It doesn’t have any specific rules associated with it; it’s just where you’re most likely to find the new ability saddle. There’s no real connection between Mounts and saddle other than a flavorful one. If a Mount becomes some other creature type, it will still have saddle, and non-Mounts can gain saddle if effects allow them to do so.

Saddle is an activated ability that you activate as a sorcery—meaning during your main phase while the stack is empty—by tapping any number of untapped creatures you control other than the Mount with saddle with total power or more, where is the number included in the saddle keyword.

As the saddle ability resolves, the Mount becomes saddled until end of turn. This doesn’t inherently mean anything, but another ability on the card will somehow refer to the Mount being saddled. Many Mounts have simple triggered abilities like the one Trained Arynx has—these trigger whenever the Mount attacks while saddled. But some Mounts give you a little more bang for your bucking bronco. Our old friend The Gitrog doesn’t treat its riders too kindly, but you’ll be in prime position to benefit.

PLOT

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to planning. Plot is a new keyword that allows you to pay a cost up front and exile a card from your hand. The card then becomes plotted. On a future turn, you may cast a plotted card from exile without paying its mana cost. Both the special action to plot the card from your hand and casting a plotted card from exile are done as a sorcery—again, meaning during your main phase while the stack is empty.

Plot is a fantastic way to set up future turns, knowing that your spell is available for no further mana investment. To take full advantage of Plan the Heist, you’d prefer to have an empty hand as it resolves. Or maybe you’re still searching for a second source of blue mana. No matter your reasons, plotting the card sets you up for a potent turn in the future.

Some plot cards offer cheaper plot costs, letting you save on mana if you’re willing to wait for a future turn to finally cast the spell. Some are creatures with triggered abilities that you may want to time more strategically. What’s more, the plot keyword isn’t the only way to have cards become plotted. Sometimes, you need to … well, this:

The same timing rules apply to any card that becomes plotted, no matter how that happens. It can’t be cast on the same turn it became plotted. When you finally do cast the spell, you do so as a sorcery.

BOUNTIES (COMMANDER MINIGAME)

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to keeping your eyes on the prize. Bounty cards are a special addition to COMMANDER DECKS that present players with some interesting characters to try and apprehend.

If your game includes bounties, all players use a shared bounty deck, which consists of at least 6 of the 12 total bounty cards. The bounty deck uses no more than one of any particular bounty card. After all, once they’re caught, no sense in putting out another bounty on them, right? That’s just throwing away good loot.

Bounties begin on the starting player’s third turn. Gives the fugitives a sporting chance, you know? Each bounty card describes the condition under which a player may capture them and claim their reward. Only the player whose turn it is can claim a reward, and only one reward may be claimed per turn.

There are four different reward levels for bounties, and each bounty uses the same reward chart. If you claim a reward on the turn that bounty was first offered, you create a Treasure token—the level 1 reward. If a bounty goes unclaimed at the end of the turn, the reward level increases until the maximum reward is offered at level 4, two Treasure tokens and a card.

Once you claim a reward, set that bounty card aside. You can place it next to you for bragging rights. As the next turn begins, you’ll reveal who’s next to be on the run. If the bounty deck is depleted, there’s been a jailbreak! Shuffle all the bounty cards back together to reform the bounty deck. You’ll have to get to work catching everyone again. At least there’s more Treasure and maybe some cards in it for you.

April 2024 Graphic Novel Pre-Order Highlights for June 2024 Release

DC & MARVEL DO THE UNTHINKABLE: THEY’RE REPRINTING THE EPIC DC VS MARVEL & AMALGAM AGE Marvel / DC crossovers in two massive omnibus editions — and you can SAVE big when you pre-order both!!!

Third Eye Faithful: one of the most iconic eras of comics has gotta be that period in the mid-90s when an outpour of pure, unbridled creativity was flowing strongly from both MARVEL, DC & of course, all those wonderful ’90s indie pubs!

And, when we saw that the unthinkable was happening, something that we NEVER thought would happen: DC VS MARVEL & the AMALGAM AGE are getting reprinted!

First, in the DC VS MARVEL OMNIBUS, in 1976, the Big Two in comics made pop culture history by pitting their most popular heroes–Superman and the Amazing Spider-Man–against each other! The success of this one-shot comic paved the way for future collaborations between the House of Ideas and the Distinguished Competition, ushering in a new age of inter-company crossover events that boasted some of the industry’s biggest writers and artists.

Now, for the first time in over 20 years, the comics that started it all will be collected in a brand-new omnibus edition featuring the classic DC Universe and Marvel team-up stories from Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man #1, Marvel Treasury Edition #28, DC Special Series #27, Marvel and DC Comics Presents Featuring the Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen Titans #1, Batman/Punisher: Lake of Fire #1, Punisher/Batman: Deadly Knights #1, Darkseid Vs. Galactus: The Hunger #1, Spider-Man and Batman #1, Green Lantern/Silver Surfer: Unholy Alliances #1, Silver Surfer/Superman #1, Batman & Captain America #1, Daredevil and Batman #1, Batman & Spider-Man #1, Superman/Fantastic Four #1, The Incredible Hulk vs. Superman #1, and Batman/Daredevil: King of New York #1.

This volume also includes essays from the original creative team, an introduction from former DC Comics president Paul Levitz, afterwords by writer Ron Marz and Marvel executive editor Tom Brevoort, and more!

And then, in THE AMALGAM AGE OMNIBUS, pitting their world’s greatest superheroes against each other, only the winning universe will be allowed to live! And the loser…will cease to exist. Superman versus the Hulk! Batman versus Captain America! Wolverine versus Lobo!

Fighting against the clock, Access, a new hero traversing both worlds, will attempt victory through another means: The combination of DC and Marvel into one universe!

The Amalgam age of comics is born! Batman and Wolverine become Dark Claw! Captain America and Superman become Super Soldier! Wonder Woman and Storm become Amazon! But will the existence of Amalgam prolong the inevitable demise of DC or Marvel? Will the Amalgam Universe fight back when Access attempts to return the universes to their former glory?

This once-in-a-lifetime event is finally collected in a once-in-a-lifetime Omnibus!

Featuring DC Versus Marvel #1-4, the DC/Marvel: All-Access #1-4, Unlimited Access #1-4, Amazon #1, Assassins #1, Bat-Thing #1, Bruce Wayne: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1, Bullets and Bracelets #1, Challengers of the Fantastic #1, Dark Claw Adventures #1, Doctor Strangefate #1, Exciting X-Patrol #1, Generation Hex #1, Iron Lantern #1, JLX Unleashed #1, Legend of the Dark Claw #1, Lobo the Duck #1, The Magnetic Men Featuring Magneto #1, Speed Demon #1, Spider-Boy #1, Spider-Boy Team-Up #1, Super Soldier #1, Super Soldier: Man of War #1, Thorion of the New Asgods #1, X-Patrol #1, and a story from Green Lantern #87.

In this deluxe mega-sized compendium, join Gert, a grown woman trapped in a six-year-old girl’s body, who has been stuck in the magical world of Fairyland for over thirty years. All Gert wants is to return home, but with an endless array of cute and terrifying Fairylanders blocking her every move, she might lose her mind in the process.

We’re talking totally fluffing losing it. Accompanied by a chain-smoking fly named Larry and her trusty blood-soaked battle axe, Gert battles an army of cosplay Gerts, a goblin king, and her own sanity, only to find herself sucked into a fantasy hellscape forever. Forever ever. Forever ever? Yeah. No biggie. Collects I HATE FAIRYLAND #1-20 & the I HATE IMAGE FCBD 2017 special

DC ELSEWORLDS returns with the 1st new ELSEWORLDS title in ages in GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT: THE KRYPTONIAN AGE #1, the official sequel to the original STEAMPUNK DC Elseworlds masterpiece!

Holy crap: saying we’re STOKED for the return of DC ELSEWORLDS is a serious understatement, we are BEYOND STOKED!!!

We LOVED the awesomeness of ELSEWORLDS hits like SUPERMAN RED SON, the original GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT, and so much more, so when we heard they were bringing back this imprint: we knew we had to shout it out loud!

And, what a book to start with: GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT THE KRYPTONIAN AGE!!!

SUPERSTAR JASON AARON (SOUTHERN BASTARDS, THOR GOD OF THUNDER) revives one of the richest legacies in comic storytelling with UNCLE SCROOGE & THE INFINITY DIME #1

Third Eye Faithful, when we first heard about this one: we just about lost our minds. Seriously: this is a BIG DEAL!!!

The legacy of Uncle Scrooge in comics is one of the most richest around, as the work that both Don Rosa & Carl Barks did with the character throughout the years completely and totally took it from beyond being just a Disney character and into being one of the most thoughtful explorations of character & lore that you’ll ever find.

We often tell folks that the Don Rosa’s LIFE & TIMES OF SCROOGE MCDUCK is the equivalent of doing what WATCHMEN did for superhero comics for licensed characters & Disney in particular, and if you’ve never read it: you really should.

So, the arrival of one of the best writers in comics, Jason Aaron, of SOUTHERN BASTARDS & THOR GOD OF THUNDER FAME, doing such a prestigious character: we knew we had to really scream this one out!

It’s the story you never expected! One of the greatest characters in the history of comics leaps into his most epic adventure yet, in the manner only MARVEL can deliver!

When UNCLE SCROOGE’S fabled money bin gets stolen by a shocking culprit, the world’s toughest duck must undertake a quest unlike any other, alongside a surprising array of allies: other versions of himself!

An oversized special, from Marvel mainstay writer JASON AARON (THOR, AVENGERS) and a cadre of celebrated Scrooge artists! Also re-presenting the classic CHRISTMAS ON BEAR MOUNTAIN, the first appearance of Scrooge McDuck by the legendary DISNEY COMICS creator, CARL BARKS!

When B. finds himself in the middle of a greedy land baron and a runaway daughter, will he play the role of guardian angel, or angel of death?

And when she prays for the vengeance she so obsessively clings to, the bloodbath may be more than she bargained for…

Legendary comics writer Jason Aaron (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman Off-World) enters the brutal world of BRZRKR along with acclaimed artist Francesco Manna (Predator: The Last Hunt, Carnage).

ZATANNA GETS THE SPOTLIGHT IN A MUST-READ NEW BLACK LABEL SERIES WITH ZATANNA: BRING DOWN THE HOUSE #1

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…please put your hands together for Zatanna Zatara! The greatest entertainer in the crappiest hotel and casino of Las Vegas! Not that the ritzier spots on the Strip haven’t come calling, of course.

But since a devastating instance of magic gone wrong that forever changed the course of her childhood, Zatanna would much rather live out her days as a top-hat-and-fishnets-wearing sleight-of-hand stage act than bother with real magic.

These days, she doesn’t think much of the past at all. That is, until an interdimensional vortex cracks open during Zatanna’s act, and a terrifying demon crawls out to kill her. If she hopes to survive the horrors that follow it, she’ll need to take herself and her power seriously for the first time in a long time–and fast. Because when it comes to your past, you can run…but you can’t hide forever!

GUIDED BY VOICES’S CLASSIC SAME PLACE THE FLY GOT SMASHED GETS RE-ISSUED THIS WEEK!!!

Originally released in 1990, Same Place The Fly Got Smashed was Guided by Voices’ fourth album in as many years. Roughly a concept album about an alcoholic named Joker Bob who goes on a bender, someone dies, and Bob gets the chair (“the electrifying conclusion”). From the moment the needle drops, the listener is served notice that this isn’t going to be an easy listen, as an argument taped off of a TV cuts to a basement recording of a lone, blaring electric guitar with someone yelling over the top. But for those brave enough to pass the opening hazards, there are wonders within.This particular album has come to be held in higher and higher regard by fans, and they are correct to consider it a top-tier release. The story and sequence have a flow, and consideration for approachability is optional. Many of the crudest tracks reveal themselves as necessary stitches in the album’s tapestry. Yet it also contains all time greats like “Drinker’s Peace,” “Mammoth Cave,” the epic “Local Mix-Up/Murder Charge,” and of course “Pendulum” with it’s immortal opening line: “Come on over tonight, we’ll put on some Cat Butt and do it up right!”-a rare break in the clouds on one of the band’s darkest albums. This reissue, like the previous ones in this series, is a mostly faithful reproduction of the original pressing of 500 on the band’s own Rocket #9 label. And like the others, the virgin RTI vinyl is housed in a thick tip-on jacket, and includes Robert Pollard’s original handwritten lyric insert.

With a classy, laid back approach of grimy soul samples and spooky 1980’s aesthetic, the tape flows flawlessly top to bottom as Boldy paints a unique portrait of a Midwest drug dealer. This is a vinyl/cassette exclusive release, so it’s not going to be on streaming minus one single.

POISON IDEA’S LEGENDARY “FEEL THE DARKNESS” GETS A NEW REISSUE WITH A NEW MIX!!! ONE OF THE BEST FAST HARDCORE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!!!

Some people STILL didn’t like the last mix so we took it the Jackpot Studios, Larry Crane, and he pushed the faders into the red. If this doesn’t blow yer top, you already dead, my friend! Poison Idea’s 1990 classic Feel The Darkness album has been remixed (again) and remastered and is now available on a double LP Set which also includes singles, B-sides, some choice covers and outtakes featuring the classic lineup of Jerry A, Pig Champion, Myrtle Tickner, Mondo and Thee Slayer Hippy. This is the one that gets the #1 album ranking by Poison Idea themselves. So good, that Kurt Cobain had the sticker on his guitar. A blend of Rock, metal and punk. We can’t stress how heavy this is.
