Some punk dudes, like those of the orgcore group (orgcores), employ an unusual mating method. Because individuals are presumably locally rare and encounters doubly so, finding a mate is problematic. When scientists first started capturing orgcores, they noticed that all of the specimens were females. These individuals were a few inches in size and almost all of them had what appeared to be parasites attached to them. It turned out that these "parasites" were highly reduced male orgcores.

At birth, male orgcores are already equipped with extremely well developed beards that detect PBR. The male orgcore lives solely to find and mate with a female. They are significantly smaller than a female orgcore, and may have trouble finding porches to sit on and drink their PBR. Furthermore, the growth of the alimentary canals of some males become stunted, preventing them from being working class. These features necessitate his quickly finding a female orgcore to prevent death. …

First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.

Mixtape Vol. VII – Not Quite Punk

It’s been a while since the last tape, but who’s counting?
I like “punk music” (I think?) And so by default I should like some things that sound punk, but I don’t always. So here are some bands that I’ve always considered “punk” bands despite the fact that they don’t sound or look like the generic punk. I was tempted to chuck in stuff like Oingo Boingo, The Cramps, Communiqué even Cold Cave for some reason, stuff that have/has/had ties to punk but haven’t been co-oped and exist in their own right.
But this tape came mainly from my favouritism for the Replacement’s sound and everything in-between.

A Side
01. The Replacements – Alex Chilton
02. Guided by Voices – Unleashed! The Large Hearted Boy
03. Husker Du – Green Eyes
04. The Pixies – Here Comes Your Man
05. The Lemonheads – Luka (Suzanne Vega cover)
06. The Posies – What Little Remains
07. Violent Femmes – Kiss Off
08. The Gun Club – Black Train

A bit late with this, seeing as it's February 2010. Anyway, here's some of my favourite albums of 2009 and reasons why.

Dead to Me - African Elephants
http://www.smartpunk.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/300x300/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/e/deadtomeafrican.jpg

Totally different to their previous work, which is pretty much why it recieved a mixed bag of opinions. Underwhelming at first, but definately a grower once you hear it for what it is, not 'Cuban Ballerina II' which many people wanted. The mish-mash of styles is what kept me listening. 8.5/10


Teenage Bottlerocket - They Came from the Shadows
http://www.soundaslanguage.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/teenagebottlerocket-300x300.jpg

Stupidly catchy pop-punk. If you like Screeching Weasel, Teen Idols... actually, if you like any band that bows down to the Ramones, chances are you'll love this. Forbidden Planet and the title track were stuck in my head for weeks! 8/10


The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Pin Points & Gin Joints
