So Big Worm and the Chicken Coop had Dirty Glove 2010 the other week and my place got trashed, much debauchery ensued and good times were had by all (mostly).

Arboreal Communion



It's been just over 10 years since the last official Burzum record and, as of its creation, just shy of 16 years since Varg Vikernes played a guitar. That's a long time for the myth behind the terrifying and enigmatic Vikernes to grow and fester with anticipation. For those that aren't aware, Vikernes was paroled in May of 2009 after serving a little less than 16 years of a 21 year sentence for the murder of then Mayhem guitarist Euronymous, and allegedly burning several ancient churches to the ground. Regardless, Belus reemphasizes that there is a reason he's such a legendary figure in the black metal scene beyond his mania. The album presents a return to form for Burzum from the dark ambient synthesizer projects he produced during his early years in prison and harkens back to the more primal stripped down black metal of his first self-titled release. The album revels in its pagan heritage and rampages like a viking through a forest. On "Kaimadalthas' Nedstigning" we see the rare harmonic side of Burzum, with guitar riffs that almost feel like double time post-punk as opposed to black metal. But who's to tell Varg Vikernes what is and isn't black metal? It's all about the ambience that's encapsulated within the record, that lingering air of grimness and vicious self-righteousness that all other false metals fail to recreate. Vikernes is back, and we can only hope he keeps himself out of trouble.

Seasonal Strange Fruit



Pomegranates are probably my favorite fruit. Which is saying something as I'm not really the biggest fan of that particular food group. It's just that every seed is bursting with that forbidden sour juice and that raw crunch of the seed, you can't help but just pop them one after another. It's like this with those elusive psychedelic pop morsels that came out of Persia during the '60s and '70s. Andy Votel's Finders Keepers label continues to impress with its release of Pomegranates, the compilation does a fantastic job at accessibly recapturing some of the lost treasures of the vibrant music scene.

Also, it brings to light the eerie similarity between Googoosh's "Talagh" and "Heaven on their Minds" from the Jesus Christ Superstar score. See for yourself.
