The unofficial Skinny Puppy site Litany, particularly the forum, has shined a light on a track from Skinny Puppy that may or may not have been meant to be on the SP-but-disappointing album The Greater Wrong of the Right titled ‘Elements’. This track was ripped and stitched from an interview w/ Omar Torres and is certainly jaw-dropping. It truly is something so forward thinking and dark, intense and dramatic… THIS should have been the feel of the latest album. I am certainly holding my breath for the latest album to be released, well, whenever.
I always thought many hip-hop albums should come with an instrumental version… Puppy is getting close - Sorry, but the vocals seldom match the sound in it’s ‘flow’ anymore… and I LOVE Ogre’s voice.
It’s time to really wow me on this level, Puppy.

Cranes have released a new album, Cranes, after four years of spotty co-written material and guest appearances. My first impressions are that the tracks follow the Forever album with a bit more space and ambiance. It is certainly a Cranes album through and through, but I still long for something more experimental, something less accessible and entirely new… something that turned me onto the Cranes in the first place. Rest assured that the Siblings Shaw deliver a full serving of themselves worthy of fans old and new… but imagine them cannibals, more ritualistic and self indulgent. I want more variety. I want another Adrift or Starblood… hell, I’ll even be ecstatic for another Casablanca. Or, perhaps, I haven’t listened to this release enough. Particles and Waves was like a virus afterall….
Visit the MySpace page, first two tracks are from the new album

Amusing find today as our front door was opened…
We live next to a bar whose patrons, often to our dislike due to attitude and disrespect for our property, ‘enjoy’ our porch while downing beer and spirits. Well, ‘Rikki’ has has made an impression.
“Hola from RedBull!
My name is Rikki + I made out on your stoop Friday night @ 2amish + I wanted to thank you for keeping the earth green by watering your plants! Thank you! Also, I apologize for my makeout session! Rikki Haywood says thank you :)”
Hehe
You are welcome Rikki! Thanks for not being an ass, thanks for $50.00 case of heaven!
