ALL IN..

via metal sucks..

Record Store Day is a-comin’, and with it, the expected plethora of special releases that you will either find incredibly cool or incredibly gimmicky, depending on your point of view. So props to Earache for coming up with such a release that actually manages to stand out from the pack: The World’s Shortest Album, a limited edition 5″ that has thirteen songs on it, but is all of eighty-three seconds long.

You shouldn’t even need to ask how that’s possible, but in case you’re either new here or just very dense, the answer is, “grindcore,” a genre for which an eighty-three second run time is basically a double album.

Here’s the track listing, via No Clean Singing:

Side A:
01. Napalm Death – “You Suffer” (1.9s)
02. Napalm Death – “Dead” (2.7s)
03. Napalm Death – “Your Achievement” (4.2s)
04. Wormrot – “False Grind Sodomy” (2.5s)
05. Wormrot – “You Suffer But Why Is It My Problem” (4.0s)
06. Brutal Truth – “Collateral Damage” (4.0s)
07. Anal Cunt – “Howard Wulkan’s Bald” (4.0s)

Side B:
01. Lawnmower Deth – “Be Scene Not Heard” (4.7s)
02. Painkiller – “Trailmarker” (6.0s)
03. Brutal Truth – “Blockhead” (7.3s)
04. Morbid Angel – “Bil Ur-Sag #2 Lava” (6.9s)
05. Anal Cunt – “Windchimes Are Gay” (9.5s)
06. Insect Warfare – “Street Sweeper” (13.5s)

So I guess this comp could theoretically lead to a very long discussion regarding why the hell grind bands even record such songs in the first place, but I don’t really feel like having that discussion. Like all Record Store Day releases, it’s really just meant to entice you to visit an actual honest-to-Christ record store, and there are certainly more ignoble aspirations in the world.

Below, enjoy a video of The World’s Shortest Album being played in its entirety.

Got my ordered today and the Pygmy Lush LP happened to be the clear with red /50 and the Frodus 7" had the alternative cover and was clear yellow. Anybody know anything about the clear yellow Frodus? Discogs only lists the clear. Anyway, cool surprises nonetheless.

hey ..

just a head's up.  Talked to Lovitt today, they told me that they did 125 of the yellow ones.

/125.  that's pretty cool.

Nah, you didn't miss anything. I was being a dick and trying to pull some April foolishness. Sucks that you of all people are the one that believed it.

 

I think that Ash Borer tour started. Hopefully one of your contacts will be able to help us snag a tour copy of the new EP.

since I got home passed 12am I just assumed all April Fool's offerings were null and void!  haha.

yeah I actually think that Ash Borer thing might happen.  rumor has it my friend has a friend that's putting together a show for them in Germany.  more on that as it develops.

thanks for making me looking like an idiot in a public forum, I appreciate that!  haha

Well shit, those didn't last long.

are you kidding me??

I go to see Russian Circles and I miss more of that??

wtf...  fml

They just put up some OOP 7"s, including Converge, Isis, OMG etc.

does anyone know where to grab the cassette version of this LP in the states ?

listening as we speak .

splatter sounds great.

oh snap I was just going to post this!!

got mine!!

thanks

I didn't have any trouble getting mine..  but I just got astronaut..  

just ordered and paid but paypal says my payment is pending due to review. anyone else get that?

hey guys...

I am hoping I can find someone in Memphis to help me out..

I live in NYC and plan on going on line very early to get some stuff so I might be able

to trade / pick something up for exchange of getting me something particular in Memphis..

anyone there who can help me out?  

it will probably be a bundle with some $200 blanket made from Icelandic sheepskin or something.

but I REALLY REALLY like Icelandic sheepskin..

deluxe preorder coming soon. i'm hoping it comes with a parka. or better yet, an alpaca.

what is up with this?  is that true?  not the parka or the alpaca thing but the deluxe version??

For some reason I couldn't find a thread about this LP.

check them out.  from Dc area and sound like a lot of old Lovitt / Gern stuff.

any word on what the RFC version will be limited to??

Will be grabbing this for sure. 

I concur

Based on the description, I think you're right.  In the past I know they've done a limited color for the first so-many orders, but, in those cases they usually stated so.

yeah I think so too.

they did that for Mountains and a few other LP's recently.  I was hoping for something for this one..

I am into this too..

but this isn't limited right?  just the bonus CD is.. 

or am I missing something?

Hope to get my hands on that tape and the Euro only LP.

yeah me too..

here's to hoping.

as per Ash Borer's website..  *( http://ash-borer.blogspot.com/2013/03/bloodlands-digital-release-cold-of-ages.html , just in case the link doesn't play or whatever...)

The rarest variant of this 7" is also sold out. 

does it say that on the site or did you hear that somewhere else?

thanks!!  for once I didn't miss it.

I would also love for the tour only Euro copy. I have tons to trade. I'd like to keep my Ash Borer collection complete so if anyone wants to help, let me know.

 

thepunkguy - You will get the PO info for Cold of Ages soon. There new mailing list is going out soon.

thanks. 

and I reached out to a friend or two in EU and if they can get me two I'll let you know.

yeah, i'd love one too. Cold Of Ages info is up on Pesanta, but preorder is for mailing list members only.

I am on their mailing list but haven't gotten anything about it yet.  maybe they're not up yet??

I remember them saying something about soon..

do you know anyone who's ordered one?
