UTD 8: Psychic Uhuru

LISTEN/DOWNLOAD

Last week UTD went to visit Ben and Peter in their intimate area (Bed Stuy) where we ate spicy plantain chips, took turns giving back rubs and talked about Satanic Prog, 419 scams and respecting Mother Earth. Come join us for UTD 8 as we burn down our bourgeois preconceptions on a quest for spiritual unity.

UTD 6: Sleepies vs. Haunted Castle

Bonus Mp3 (not for the faint of heart):
Jungle----Electric Light Orchestra (ft. Sleepies and Haunted Castle)

Well, it's taken three days to sift through the marathon of idiotic jabbering that took place on Sunday, but UTD Episode 6 has arrived. We struggled for hours over how to edit all the material down to a concise, thematically cohesive hour of music and discussion. That pretty much failed. Instead, we decided not to really edit anything at all. This week's episode is the kind of thing that should be listened to only to insure that something like it never happens again.

Metallica's Vision for a Better Musical Tomorrow.

Apparently Metallica believes that the future of music lies in releasing albums through "Guitar Hero" and similar styled video games. That's just great fellas. It's definitely more important to appeal to the army of PlayStation 3 rapscallions who would rather acquire their music collection via television speakers than to those loyal fans who may not have contributed to Lars Ulrich's new, diamond-bedazzled elephant by purchasing "St. Anger" but for some reason didn't mind that aural catastrophe sullying their undeserving stereos and downloaded it anyway. I'm well aware that there are plenty of bands that I love and respect on the Guitar Hero soundtracks (Dead Kennedys and The Ramones immediately come mind) but to turn this into "an expected way to release an album?" Count me out. I don't need to play a video game as an excuse to listen to music, thank you very much. Luckily Metallica doesn't warrant being listened to in any format.


Speaking of shitty metal, stay tuned for our Sleepies vs. Haunted Castle episode which will be up soon.

UPDATE

Last night Haunted Castle visited UP THE DRUNX. This afternoon we received a message from HC guitarist Jack Drury:

Jack: dude i fucking hate you guys so much

COMING TOMORROW:

SLEEPIES VS. HAUNTED CASTLE
