As highly esteemed music journalists at this prestigious Toilet ov Hell, we hear a lot of new music day to day. But what are we\u00a0<\/em>actually\u00a0listening to? \u201cCircling the Bowl\u201d is a weekly series where we get to share the jams we\u2019ve been truly been jamming, and we invite you all to share as well.<\/em><\/p>\n Bob Genghis Khan<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s really hard for me to get into new releases. The older I get, the pickier I am. There are weeks where I just don\u2019t have the energy to find new stuff and I start playing the game where I pick an older record I\u2019ve already played to death, then see how many more times I can play it until it evokes absolutely no emotional response. Don\u2019t live like me people. Or do live like me and add these albums to your favorites list, too. You probably won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n Joaquin Stick<\/strong> – It’s finally warming up here in the great lakes empire, which means my calendar is filling up with things that take away from cramming my skull with new music. Many of the things I’ve been extremely digging lately are not quite out yet (except LUNAR CHAMBER<\/a>), so I’ll save those for later and instead share a few mildly enjoyable recs:<\/p>\n Spear<\/strong> – For as much as I’ve complained of late about not having time to listen to music, I apparently still churn through a hefty chunk of tunes every now and again. Either that or I’m just a filthy liar. There’s probably an essay in here about approaching art via consumption rather than appreciation or analysis, but I’m not smart enough to write that. Anyway, jams.<\/p>\n Rolderathis<\/strong> – It’s apparently feast or famine for my owl ears\u2014the year’s (personally) tepid first quarter has suddenly transformed into a spraying septic spigot. This week’s listening was almost exclusively piping hot releases, with a few staples thrown in and\u00a0Wake<\/strong>,\u00a0Conjurer<\/strong>, and\u00a0Khemmis<\/strong> in a live setting to boot. Bonus points to Ellorsith<\/strong> for alerting me to one of the most eerie and upsetting true stories<\/a> I’ve ever heard.<\/p>\n Megachiles<\/strong> –<\/p>\n D.F. (McNulty)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The last few weeks I\u2019ve been diving back in to some serious nostalgia, to the greatest band to ever have existed, or ever will. My favorite band in high school (class of \u201999) who essentially disbanded after their third full-length in 2003:\u00a02 Skinnee J\u2019s<\/strong>. They were a rap \/ rock \/ new-wave band from Brooklyn whom had two rappers and a full backing band, including keyboards and trumpets on certain tracks. Besides being excellent, they were really funny and just plain\u00a0fun<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n Their live shows were\u00a0so much fun<\/em>, they always found creative uniforms to wear on stage (for instance rabbit suits), and they could energize the crowd like nothing I had seen before. I did get to see them live once, which was great; but watching those performances now almost make me cry that they\u2019re no longer active. Check them out if any of this sounds enticing!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As highly esteemed music journalists at this prestigious Toilet ov Hell, we hear a lot of new music day to day.
