[Music] Purrkur Pillnikk – Flughoppið
In honor of Iceland actually defeating a team of substance, here’s a slab of Icelandic racket by Purrkur Pillnikk, one of the country’s first punk bands.
[Music] Mizar – Svjat Dreams
Behind only Laibach and Bijelo Dugme (White Button), Mizar were the most powerful name in the Balkan rock music scene, and crossed over into Darkwave with ease. This is a cover of The Eurhythmics’ classic hit, “Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This,” done with a heavy dose of Byzantine goth.
[Music] V/A – Strange Fruits, Catherine Wheel Tribute
The Blog That Celebrates Itself is a label run out of São Paolo, Brazil, who are developing a reputation for great tribute compilations. The object of their affection is Catherine Wheel this time.
[Music] Punk Crock / Punk Was Rubbish And Didn’t Change Anything: An Investigation
If you were one of the silly people who belived punk would change the world, I’d recommend not knocking anyone for believing in the Tooth Fairy, as you have no ground to stand on.
Two amusing article on the phoniness of punk (which died an ugly death, but gave birth to great things like new wave, post-punk and all those goth bands in the early 80s) appear here:

[Music] The Durutti Column – LC (Full Album)
The Durutti Column produced what I feel is one of the most perfectly atmospheric albums ever made, crossing post-punk, jazz and ambient music.
[Music] News From Silber Media: QRD touring musician interviews & more
Hello,
I hope all is going well. It’s been a few years in the making, but QRD finally launched the touring musician interview series (featuring Alan Sparhawk of Low, Phil Dole of Chord, Shane DeLeon of Miss Massive Snowflake, Chris Brokaw of Lemonheads, Mkl Anderson of Drekka, & a few more). Let me know what you think of the series & if I should keep it going. This issue also has feature interviews with M is We & Lycia as well as a label owner interview with Manuel of Records Ad Nauseum & a cartoonist interview with Larry Johnson & a couple short stories from Phil Dole & Nathan Amundson. Spread the word about whatever interview is your favorite if you can.

In the music news front there is a ton of stuff about to happen. Releases from Chvad SB, Bronze Eye+LD, Yellow6, Anda Volley, Moodring, Electric Bird Noise, Hotel Hotel, Dyr Faser, M is We, & a ton of others are all about to happen given I figure out how to balance time well enough to get press releases & promotions ready. So keep an eye out on social media & your inbox for when those things happen. I’ll be sending newsletters out a little more often than every two months once releases start kicking out every couple of weeks.
If you need one inch buttons made, I added a new option where you get 35 buttons with up to 35 different designs for $17 plus shipping. Great option for people with a lot of design ideas, but not ready to commit to the typical requirement of 100 buttons per design. Get the template & more info at www.silbermedia.com/buttons/custom.shtml
That’s it for me for now.
Thank you for your interest & support, I couldn’t do it without you. If you want to be taken off the mailing list just let me know.

[Music] Ministry – The Light Pours Out of Me – NYC 1988
Industrial music legends Ministry pair up with Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy to do justice to Magazine’s classic cut.
[Music] New Order – Dreams Never End (Peel Session)
Though Bernie Sumner has handled most of the vocal work over the years for New Order, there’s something pleasantly raw about this Peel Session version sung by Peter Hook.
Next to Ceremony, this is my favorite track by the band.
