Head2wall Playlist #3 4/8 - 4/14

For this mix I added some non hardcore intro and outro tracks along with some songs by bands that might not be recognized as hardcore bands, either now or ever that I feel still have that energy. As my last post indicates I saw Jocko last week and they blew me away so it was a big "duh" that they would be included on this mix. I also picked up the first official repress of the Wipers - Alien Boy 7", the Idles 12" EP that includes Romantic Gestures and was lucky enough to be turned onto Get a Grip. Share the love of music whenever you can, if you find a band you know even a single friend might enjoy get it in their ears.

Head2wall Playlist #2 - 4/1 - 4/7

Almost half the bands on this mix I found or checked out for the first time last week. The other bands are ones I've loved for years. With these posts I may pull out a few bands to touch on. Starting with Method from Des Moines, who I had the pleasure of seeing last month and hope I get a chance to again soon. Their energy reminded me of all the early Lockin Out Records bands I saw back in the early 2000s. Second is Nasti from Seattle, who blend a few styles together to really have a unique sound (not to be confused with Nasty). And lastly Hushed from Detroit who have a harder gruffer sound but without trying to be an ignorant mosh band. They are playing Friday with Strange Magic at Transitions Skatepark.

Check it out here, playlist listed below.

1. Fury - Vacation
2. Insight - End the Cruelty
3. Extricate - A Thousand Cuts
4. Raw Brigade - Terrorist
5. Method - Push for More
6. Nasti - Parasites
7. BGK - White Male Dumbinance
8. Reaction - How It Ends
9. Combust - Force My Hand
10. Lower Species - Contention
11. Floorpunch - Changes
12. Hushed - Nothing to Lose
13. No Tolerance - Knew The Truth
14. No Exceptions - Not Just Drugs
15. Vision Quest - Vision Quest

Another first or perhaps just a one time type of post

I wrote this poem a few weeks ago when I was at work and wanted to do something more than just let it sit in my phone, so I made this yesterday.

Head2wall Playlist #1 - 3/25 - 3/31

I've been making mixes for most of my life, beginning with cassettes in the mid 90s with CDs I got from the library. Next were CD-Rs with songs I downloaded using Napster, Kazaa and then Soulseek (using Winamp). And then downloads of mixes for my blog Things I Can't Say, twelve mixes over two years (that are still available).

Over the past year I began making mixes using Spotify, here is the first for the blog. Current hardcore that you NEED to be bumpin (unless you wanna be a total posedawg) and my favorite song off Pulling Teeth's masterpiece Paranoid Delusions|Paradise Illusions as it was the ten year anniversary of its release back on the 31st. Enjoy.
