Premiere: The Marshmallow Ghosts, “Shrieks” MP3
- story Peter Macia
Though the band and song name might lead you to think The Marshmallow Ghosts and their new single “Shrieks” 7-inch belong to the widening swath of goth recorded on a laptop mic, they are in fact the result of a special Halloween side project of members of Black Moth Super Rainbow, the Appleseed Cast, Casket Girls, and Dreamend. The limited and handnumbered single will come as a horrifying swirly picture disk sheathed in a glow in the dark sleeve of madness created by Stoughton (check it out after the jump). The music itself sounds almost identical to the record the neighbor played when we were kids that challenged our will for Reesies and bubblegum. She invariably handed out apples. Screw that lady. the “Shrieks” single, with b-side “Creaks,” will be out on October 20th, but seeing as how the 96 special pre-orders are already sold out, we recommend you hop on the broom and get over to Gravesend. By the way, what’s everyone gonna be for Halloween? Can’t go as Lagerfeld or Captain Craps-His-Pants again, need ideas.

ATP New York 2009: Babies and Drums
- story Peter Macia

Boredoms’ drummer Yojiro (YO2RO) Tatekawa was carried into the main performance space on a platform carried by eight dudes, ten minutes into the already heart-exploding Boadrum 9 reprise at ATP New York last Sunday. He bashed on his drums so hard, it was unclear whether they would be able to hold him up. They did, and an hour later, Tatekawa and his bandmate Yoshimi were walking around with a bunch of awesome little Boredoms babies, on their way to participate in Oneida’s marathon 13-hour performance and then check out Boris’ volcanic replay of their album Feedbacker. Jim Jarmusch looked pretty psyched on Boris too. This was basically the vibe at Kutsher’s Country Club, a tarnished gem of the Catskills social set, where VIP is nonexistent and there was always something happening that was going to destroy your eardrums for, as of post time, at least two or three days.
