DONT SWEAT THE STEREO: obligitory introductory post about something

i've kept an online journal of my personal life for far too long now.

now is the time to actually give something new a shot. this blog as you will refer to it is here to serve a few purposes, but the main one is to turn you, the reader, onto some great new [or old] music. the only problem here is that defining genres was never really my thing, so i wont really be doing that. everything i listen to is indie, emo, hip hop, gangster rap, dance, eurobeat, glitch, breakcore, two step, pop, pop, pop, house, garbage, awesome.

since this is the first post here & i'm dying for some content here is my first review:

stuntrock presents:
regret instruction manual volume 1:
questions & answers for the insecure youth.

if you know anything about william flegal, aka stuntrock you know one thing, he's a fan of movies & obscurity. this record is him taking that to the next level. harsh, noisy beats creating a soundtrack to a world in which a man falls apart through samples from movies & television. 90% of the time you can barely tell where he's getting these clips, but they all work towards setting the mood & details of this pseudo story he's telling with others words.

regret instruction manual was to be a zine like thing in which stuntrock could do pretty much whatever he wanted [as well as release some dope ass music] the first volume came with a book & some stickers. volumes 2 & 3 also came with similar things of better quality. some would say the music is of better quality as well, but i'd beg to differ. regret volume one is raw. it's the closest thing you're going to get to the metal/screamo stuff in electronic form. it's as if stuntrock decided one day, i'm going to make this record, it's going to be breakcore & everything, but it will appeal to the indie/emo scene. if this had taken off, he really would have accomplished those goals. either way, the music is quite possibly some of the most undefinable music in the free world. i'm not going to spoil the tracklist & post it here, with that said i am going to tell you of some breakthrough tracks of the album. "we'll see what's so fucking funny when i'm fucking dead" is the opener on this musical car-crashing-rollercoaster-trainwreck of a mood setter. opening to domestic violence a light piano tune kicks in, moments later the song breaks into heavy world & you're all over this horrible relationship with this terrible man. for almost the entire song the piano is a present part of the music which mostly consists of harsh & noisy drum samples. "afraid of everything & so on (including the future & knowledge of self)" starts off very strange, but as long as you can take the time to let it set in you will hear the symphony of this song. this record is a bad times record & is meant to be listened to during those bad times, but this song here is where it's at, dope ass stuntrock beats all over the place.

you wont REGRET it.

next up, lets get happy.
mashups are incredibly popular lately, even though it's a technique thats been used for so many years now. i understand the whole girl talk phenomenon because i'm pretty sure girl talk is the new musical savior, here to save music for everyone. so where am i going with this? well i guess what do you suppose would happen if someone decided to do a mashup mixtape featuring indie-pitchfork type stuff & obviously gangster rap?
