“Thrill is Gone” by Digital Leather | HN Live from Hear Nebraska on Vimeo.

Pump these jams….

PLUS…. Digital Leather have a NEW LP coming out just in time for Valintine’s Day! It’ll be their fifth one, have dope artwork and kick all like the other four I’m sure.

Seeing as how I just started working pot back into my diet… I’ve become a bit lazier. You didn’t think that was possible eh? Well, I copied this off the bands website… <p>

“Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Digital Leather, the musical project of multi-instrumentalist Shawn Foree, is releasing his 5th LP Modern Problems. Written and recorded after a brief stint in Berlin following the death of his good friend, collaborator and former manager Jay Reatard, Modern Problems is an exercise in raw beauty, tender grieving and finding a way to move on. Recorded entirely on tape in his bedroom and usually in one or two takes as the Arizona native/Nebraska transplant Foree is want to do; the purity of sound in such an intimate setting permeates each song with a soulful immediacy often missing from the perfectly edited digital recordings in today’s studios. Like your favorite scratchy record, Digital Leather’s allure lies in the vintage-sounding keyboards and buzzy guitar as well as Foree’s charmingly lonesome vocals. Passionately catchy beats and synthy punk-flavored hooks give ample levity to the weighty, personal lyricism of Modern Problems. Like I said, the LP comes out February 14^th 2012 on FDH Records. Fittingly, as what is a valentine if not a poignant labor of rock n’roll love such as this!<p>

<p>

it’s a month away until the official release of the record and copies are going pretty quickly. Get yours HERE<p>

Part 5:

Bob Dylan’s Eat the Document is a documentary that captures the madness that ensued during Dylan and The Hawks’ 1966 tour of Europe in which Dylan transformed himself from an acoustic folk singer to a rock ‘n’ roll musician. The tour was also finally documented officially by Columbia/Legacy Recordings’ with the 1998 release of the CD Live 1966: The “Royal Albert Hall” Concert—The Bootleg Series Vol. 4, Dylan’s 1966 performance at Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England. It was shot under Dylan’s direction by D. A. Pennebaker, whose groundbreaking documentary Dont Look Back chronicled Dylan’s 1965 British tour. The film was originally commissioned for the ABC television series Stage ’66.

Bob Dylan’s 1966 tour of Europe created more controversy and artistic debate than any other tour to date. Dylan left behind his image as a scruffy, socially relevant folk singer and now embraced rock ‘n’ roll: his clothes were mod, his lyrics oblique, and the music loud. His once loyal fans bombarded him with shouts of “Judas” and “traitor.”

Though shooting had completed for Eat the Document wasn’t edited til after Dylan recovered from his July 1966 “motorcycle accident” (i.e. Dylan finally coming down after years of speed use). Once well enough to work again, Bob Dylan edited the film with the help of Howard Alk—resulting in an extraordinary look into the artist’s psyche. ABC rejected the film as incomprehensible for a mainstream audience.

It has never been released on home video and prints are rarely screened in theaters. Some footage from Eat the Document was used in Martin Scorsese’s 2005 documentary on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home. Which is bomb, if you don’t own that… you’re in a sinner in the rock n roll world.

How bummed do the Foo Fighters look here? Maybe someone finally got honest with em and told them that NO ONE with half a brain likes their band? Ok, that was mean.. and plus I love all of these guys! In fact I’m gonna go on a long winded rant here for no reason and drop some names no one I know cares about (cuz most of em know these cats too so suck it)… Taylor has become a really good friend (considering we shared a girlfriend and I happened to yank her away from him only to date her on and off for seven years… which was a little weird for a while… but in the end he actually thanked me for saving me from her! Haha.. and when she dropped me we become buddies..) as has his best friend and tech Wiley… both dudes are real nice guys (and Taylor surprisingly totally crushed it on the unfinished Dennis Wilson song “Holy Man” which he added vocals to and got his friends in that small band QUEEN to add backups and a guitar solo to as well… check it below if you don’t believe me), same goes for Dave (who as a teenage I looked up to for being a member of one of my favorite local bands, Nirvana), Pat (although I still don’t buy he ins’t gay, and I know he’s married with a kid… it’s called a beard – love ya Pat but I’m calling it how it is, you comment on my looks more than any girl I’ve ever met), Chris (even though he was in No Use For A Name, which has to be one of the worst bands in the history of shitty Nofx sounding pop punk bands) and lets not forget the ex-Sunny Day Real Estate alumni… Nate Mendel (who now Sunny Day sounds totally dated to me, but in High School I couldn’t get enough of their album “Diary” and even the “pink” record) – dude was also in the punk rock band Christ On A Crutch, FYI.

Wow that rant came outta now where…

For the record… I’ve never been a fan of Foo Fighters… but this song about Courtney Love, which is the first song on their third record called “Stacked Actors”, RULES! But… QUESTION: When and why did Dave Grohl get tribal tattoos? If Kurdt wouldn’t have pussied out and offed himself! I would put money on that…

“The first full length by The Icarus Line. Originally released on Crank Records and later on Buddyhead.
The bonus material is compiled from various unreleased vault digs. Mono (and bonus material) is incuded in full here, presented in WAV file format. WAV files are about as good as it gets for digital audio. Much better quality available here than ever before on the internet. Hear the debut record with new ears. For all of you that still have stereos this will be a treat. Recorded on 2inch and mixed down to half inch. Making Analogs.

All profits go directly to the band to fund future touring and recording. We never see a dime from Itunes/Record Companies so please buy direct from us here on Bandcamp. The bonus material will be taken down after our tour with Killing Joke so get in now. Graci.

For the first time ever we have a full quality download of Penance. Whatever you have on your Ipod probably pales in comparison to the quality of this download.

The bonus material included here ranges from a good portion of our sessions for John Peel on the BBC to the pre production jam tapes from the months leading up to the recording sessions and everything in between. Also included are all B sides that came on the singles for the record.

CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE “Black Lives at the Golden Coast (expanded edition)”

“The last installment of the “expanded” download series. Black Lives was the red headed step child of the bunch but often more rewarding in the long run. Bundled into this download are a couple different sessions. Everything that is labeled Sunset Sound is from the sessions for the record V2 released. Also the Sear Sound mixes are from that same session but offer alternate viewpoints into the making of Black Lives. It wasn’t an easy one to make and the band that was making it was no more before it was even mixed. You can hear that in the final product for better or worse. Notice there are a lot of songs that appear more than once here. The reason is the versions are so different from each other you can see how rapidly tunes evolve and how every day offered a new perspective. We were never shy about trying it differently. The Sear Sound mixes are from that same session at Sunset but offer alternate viewpoints into the making of Black Lives. Mixed as roughs by producer Michael Musmanno. He mixed the whole record in a day and a lot of it sounds great.

The tunes labeled Virtue are from one of many false starts on what was to become this record. We holed up at this dude Jimmy Boyles studio by the farmers market and got stood up by our engineer. Brian Virtue helped us get a couple of the songs mixed so that we had something to show for it. The Soundcastle sessions were the first we had done after Aaron left and Don was moved to guitar. We had something to prove and they sound pretty great even now. Lastly, Dying at the Little Joy. This is the live audio portion of a strange rehearsal/live record we did at Little Joy in Echo Park. This is the first recording of the band that would make WILDLIFE. It was filmed and recorded at 9am so that we could get the bar for $150. Not the finest hour for a rock group to get it on but I think that this collection of gents were some of the finest around. Rock N Roll Animals!

Thanks for listening to this shit and downloading the new expanded records. Although it seems like there is a lot of ground covered there is still so much unreleased stuff. Maybe some more might leak out later this year. As with the other records these will only be up until the end of the Killing Joke tour and are of a higher quality than anywhere else on the internet. Buy Direct!

Thanks for your support and hope you enjoy some of this noise.
