Usually when I hear that a friend is getting married my gut reaction is "that poor bastard". haha. It's like the end of an era and time for that person to put his/her big boy/girl pants on and get a real job and go into debt and what have you. But when Ron Ron and TURD life advocate Danielle tied the knot they kept it real (see back cover) and put out a full length noise album.
On a recent skateboarding trip to The Big Stink, Ron Ron set me up with this John Milner You're So Boss care package.
Milner, I'm really psyched on you.
The album art, that depicts a dog and two peopleiods puking in the shape of a pentagram was drawn by Milner's own Matt Davey (far right). And the fact that Milner decided to press this offering on vinyl adds to the authenticity and stoke factor of the whole project.
At 8:48 long (yes, both sides), the album crams in 12 boisterous songs that my Mom might refer to as "nightmare music". My favourite tracks are the loud as fuck "Meat Shits" and the more sedated "Hope Void". And I was especially psyched to hear "Taquitos" on the B-side because from what I can gather, it's a song about one of my guilty 7/11 pleasures.
It's so great to throw this on the turntable and hear friends doing good things on vinyl. And after Ron gave me the shirt I wore it for like 5 days straight.
Milner plays shows pretty often in and around Toronto. Check their bloggy blog and check them out to support some local talent.
