Touch Me I'm Sick

Mudhoney need no introduction. They started in 1988 on the ruins of Green River as dirty, punky rock and roll band. Got some attention due to grunge boom in early nineties but later nearly forgotten. Hopefully they returned in 2002 with "Since We've Become Translucent".
Now after nearly twenty years they evolved into space/garage/stoner rock and still play very well. New album should be released early in 2008.
This is Seattle concert from 2004. It was Melvins 20th anniversary gig. Sound is good but suffers from occasionally dropouts.

Don't Panic, We're From Poland!!! part 10 - Nyia

Nyia is a polish band formed in 1999 by ex-members of Kobong, Prophecy and Vader. As they say it's Avant Garde Grindcore Fusion. Name of the band is taken from Polish pagan goddess of death.
Their debut album "Head Held High" was released in 2004. This music is truly devastating. Ultra heavy and very technical. Each song is like a bullet from AK-47. Only one aim - Crush, kill, destroy!
Nyia's new album "More Than You Expect" wil be released soon by FETO Records - label of Shane Embury (Napalm Death/ Brujeria/ Lock up/ Venomous Concept) and Mick Kenney (Anaal Nathrakh/ Exploder/ Mistress/ Frost).
You better don't download this album. It will ruin your house and rip your head off.

Don't Panic, We're From Poland!!! part 9 - Krzysztof Komeda


Krzysztof Komeda was polish composer and jazz pianist. Outside Poland he is most recognised as composer for Polanski's movies: "Rosemary's Baby", "Fearless Vampire Killers" and other. He died tragically in 1969.
Music for "Rosemary's Baby" is true classic. Both beautiful and haunting. The main theme lullaby is prettiest (and scariest) thing I ever heard. Great music for long november evenings.
