JPW - Raw Action On Route

A great writer/editor/podcaster/dude — Jason P. Woodbury is definitely all of those things. But he's also slowly but surely building a beautiful sound world as JPW. This short-but-sweet EP is like JJ Cale and Cass McCombs going on a long desert road trip with no particular destination in mind. Lonesome drum machines, drift-y vocals, burnt guitar lines — the good shit, as we like to say. And hey, another great dude Chris Schlarb (Psychic Temple/Big Ego Records) shows up to lend his skills to a dank 'n' dubby remix of "The Road That Knows No Law." My only complaint for this one is that it should go on for at least 10 more minutes.

John Balance called himself a pagan but used the term in the sense that to him it just meant being "godless" in the eyes of others, rejecting every god save for "except those you created yourself". I noticed Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth identified with the same basic idea. Genesis P-Orridge characterised TOPY as "self-professed and reconstructed heathens, godless and proud", but this term is clearly not in the sense of things like Norse Heathenry, and more like the way Christians call non-believers "heathens", embracing it as a positive term. It seems to me to mean something very similar to what John Balance was talking about, in that TOPY didn't formally believe in any gods as such, but they did see themselves as "pagans" in a way that meant a more or less non-conformist approach to religion and magic. TOPY's idea of what that is remains very relevant in some ways: to unite the conscious and subconscious will, in order to reintegrate and reconstruct the individual personality, thus liberating it.

Dave Easley - Ballads

I loved Byways of the Moon, pedal steel virtuoso Dave Easley's previous record for Big Ego — so when the mensch Chris "Psychic Temple" Schlarb asked me to write the liners for Easley's Ballads LP, I said yes immediately. What an honor, ladies and gentlemen.

As great as Byways was, Ballads might be even better, with pedal steel-led versions of tunes by Ornette Coleman, Duke Ellington, Sonny Sharrock and more. And it's got guitarist extraordinaire Jeff Parker, ace bassist David Tranchina and expert drummer Jay Bellerose ... what more do you need? An instant classic, if I do say so myself. The record comes out on October 20, 2023 — go preorder it, for heaven's sake!

If you need a sample of what's in store, check out the above in-studio video of Duke's deathless "Fleurette Africaine." What a tune, what a sound.

the difference between mythal’s design in the art book and what we got in game is making me suicidal fr like look at this?? imagine if she’d had her long black hair and glowing golden eyes and actually looked like a primordial goddess. i too would’ve leashed myself to her like a dog and compromised myself and all my morals again and again and again until i broke and sundered the world in grief when she died
