toe live show dvd

if your looking for some truly unique instrumental, shoegaze, math rock music, then toe is the band for you. hailing from japan, this band melts your ears and steals your hearts within minutes of listening to their tunes. recently, i discovered their live dvd. their live show sounds like you're still listening to the actual recording not four dudes jamming in front of you. click on the post title above to watch a clip from the dvd. this is one of my favorite toe songs ever, with the most amazing drum into.

refused are fucking dead

refused, one of the most important and influential bands of our generation has rereleased their classic album, the shape of punk to come. along with the rerelease, which includes b-side tracks, they released a documentary about the band and their very last show ever. you can watch this documentary over at pitchfork for free, but you'd better hurry it won't be up on there for very long. in my eyes, refused are never fucking dead!!!
