Nerve Gliding EP by bleedstone21

Here is a man of great will power, a forthcoming triumph ahead of him, and he takes off down the path and succeeds in his goal. Lucas: you have finally stumbled upon a pile of GOLD!

Lucas is a menomena, Lucas is a menomena...


Lucas, you then eat the gold and relax during the last half of the trip known as "Nerve Gliding"  the listener feels the effects of the gold slowly grab hold of their senses.

The Good Luck Twins - Teenage Dream



The last time The Good Luck Twins, Tommy Kelly (Mlac, The Dead People, The Grand Caminos, Carpe Musical) and inventor of the 'c**k push-up' Jason Edgil (Mlac, Dog Cabin, The Dead People, Maita, Forest Porridge, Pre-Compass, The Spacebars, Twin Man, Tin Can Phone) had at it was in the winter of 2009. Since then the summer has encroached on their souls and they have an album that will pair nicely with the nice weather, we will wait for Wednesday otherwise.


This set is a collection of covers by artists like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Pink, Enrique Iglesias, Mike Posner,  Britney Spears amongst others...!!!

Turn the volume up and let The Good Luck Twins take you straight to the heart of Saturday night's party, V.I.P. suite and all.

Ryan Taber - Born To Live, Live To Die



"Taber's songs are great. A good move signin' his ass Crossman, he'll bring in the big bucks."
-Tommy Kelly, WCAT News, (KY)

"I dig Taber's album too."
-Jason Edgil, Imperial Car Wash (MI)

"I'm gorgeous you're selfish you do the math...I was just listening to Taber's album, he's an insightful chap."
-Stephen Stivs, The Double Door (IL)

Anti-Raunchwagon Records, in conjunction with Heinz Ketchup, would love to present the first solo album from Ryan Taber. This is a three-song selection from a batch of music originally made for a series of Heinz commercials in the late 1990's. I have chosen to release it in the format of a Non-Existent 7" Vinyl Record. No more LP records, nowadays it is 7" or don't bother.

Who is Ryan Taber? He is the creator of an iceberg, of which the tip is very small and has neglected to become visible to most of the people who know about its existence. What I mean to say is, he is a tremendous songwriter who doesn't care to spray his music all over the world. But there has been too much pressure from interested crowds, and I have allowed a leak. For years, his music has been transmogrified through a game of "Operator", being passed through different friends' iTunes, with names being added, and compilations being made where none existed. So you should consider yourself lucky to possess a hard copy of his music, in the new, Non-Existent Vinyl format exclusively from Anti-Raunch. Enjoy!

P.S. These three songs come from a wide selection of rarities, and in the process there were some other possible titles/artworks up for consideration of the cover for the Non-Existent Vinyl 7". This is what some of them looked like:

Justin Case - Live at Wiltsy's 4-5-11



This is the first ever stand-up comedy release on Anti-Raunchwagon Records. It is a bootleg but we got permission for commercial release. It's a small routine, about four and a half minutes, delivered at the now defunct Wiltsy's in San Francisco, California. It was cut short when the police arrived. Justin was arrested after the show on Verbal Harrassment charges since it was an all ages event and most of his material straddled the border between "pedophilia" and "disturbing".

You can catch Justin at Club Bart on Thursday nights in Ferndale, Michigan along with his friends Mike Raker (editor, WCAT News), Jason Edgil, Joel Fragomeni, and sometimes the infamous CC Dynamite.

Dog Cabin - California!!! and Michigan!!!




 

For the first time in so many years, new uncle Jason Edgil (Mlac, The Dead People, Forest Porridge, Maita, Pre-Compass) went around with a tape recorder monitoring the public (and himself), concluding with a sonically-documented four-month trip to the West Coast.

"Oh yeah?" he asks a crazy person when she says she went to Haight-Ashbury to buy pantyhose and socks so she can be like Janis Joplin. Eating legal medicinal cookies and walking into Burger King to flirt with
a cute Sri Lankan girl (a 10), he records his encounter with her while a plastic hamster clanks off and on the table. "I was alone," he explained afterwards, "and I needed an excuse to talk to people. The tape recorder helped me with that, and with it I made sound friends."

On CALIFORNIA!!! (italicize CALIFORNIA!!! Scott), Jason makes odd farts and plays mouth trumpet, records a hate crime, battle-raps some cool kids, does some stand-up at now defunct Wiltsy's Bar in San Francisco...."My dad's mom killed herself," he sings on the toilet in what sounds like a lonely bathroom, "oh-wii-ooo, my dad's mom killed herself." He catches a bunkmate in his hostel super-snoring, cashes a couple CA lottery tickets for a guy with a ponytail in the liquor store he's working at, records the horn-honkings of a pennant-crazy San Francisco, and says the same shit over and over and under and over again.

On MICHIGAN!!! (ital), the most music-ridden disc in the Dog Cabin trilogy, Jason talks, makes up true lies: (I sold her ecstacy/ I sold her ecstacy for ten dollars a pill/ I bought 'em for ten dollars each), rattles i**-g*****s, records young women singin', plays mouth trumpet, samples Detroit Tiger's Manager Jim Leyland, records Chops' son repeating his favorite commercial, and more.

OREGON (ital), a limited release album, is to be sold exclusively on E-BAY. Comprised of five tracks, and a little under four minutes long, OREGON is mysterious and unable to be described.

"It's worth the two hundred bucks," Jason says.

Stephen Stivs - JOTT EP



I present to you all the first release from a veteran of the Anti-Raunchwagon line-up: the "JOTT EP" by Stephen Stivs (i.e. Jayson Homyak of The Impetuous Impregnables and The Indiana Beach Boys).

If this album art were a baseball player up at bat, he or she would be out.
  1. Strike one: ghetto photoshop job.
  2. Strike two: a fat kid with a mullet (only skinny, hetero mullets allowed).
  3. Strike three: Placing two scorpios in the same two-dimensional artwork always brings folly to its receivers.
 So far I have had swamp ass for the last two days since I received the master files from Stephen. Nonetheless, here at Anti-Raunchwagon Records we allow for the artist to have creative control of their music from conception to release.

The distinguishing factors which the artist chose for this release are first and foremost the title "JOTT EP" being transcribed in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, which is a rare commodity nowadays. Secondly, the avant-garde way of naming tracks by numbers that don't quite coincide with the track number. Furthermore, in stark contrast to the album title, the track titles contain NO CAPITAL LETTERS. Now talk about postmodern...this shit is postfuture.

Jayson Homyak does a great job of capturing the desolation and intense sadness found between minor chords in the winter sunlight. Somehow between the laptop drums and the almost baroque guitar riffs, he finds a place to do some things that have never been done before, and some things better than others have done them. For example, the sixth track on the EP called "five" contains alien doo-wop vocals over a droning organ glitch ballad. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Urethra Franklin! All in all, its a fantastic debut album from a fantastic guy. Eat it up you ad-campaign victimzzzzz.

Mlac - No Parents High School


"It looks and sounds soooo good!!...Mlac rules!!" -WCAT News

"The album is great by the by." -Brandon Mylenek

"I still can't get over the Mlac album." -Ryan Taber

"So fucking good Scott...Love love the album (he's a tweaker)...Dude we get to dissect a froooggg..." -Jayson Homyak

"Another great Mlac album." -Chops

"Well done sir. Beautifully executed. Mlac is sooo fucking awesome. We've been loving that shit." -Jon Faloon

"I loved it. It's a really beautiful album, much more musically taut and refined than I expected. The vocals, the guitar work, the concept, everything worked. I want to listen to this album while driving in the summer with the windows down. My favorite tracks are Suds, Brando Cry (the last part especially), Whisper From the Stars (holy shit so good), and No Parents (is that DMX? What?). But seriously, it's a great album front to back, you should be proud of it." -Peter Barlow, Livonia Underground

"No comment." -Jason Edgil and Scott Crossman (sang in unison hillbilly harmony)

Anti-Raunchwagon Records would explode in teenage-wet-dream ecstasy if it were any prouder to announce the release of the second studio album from Royal Oak, MI band "Mlac". The band name is pronounced like 'block' with an 'm' instead of a 'b' (or 'mlock'). Following the release of "Raking The Neighbor's Lawn", No Parents High School goes in a slightly different direction. Maintaining the oddball tuning on their guitars of FACFCF, they cranked out eight new tracks that clock in at an unremarkable 24 minutes and 15 seconds. These songs, though short, cut off all excess fat of modern music, hardly ever repeating choruses or remaining in one place for too long. The album's overall sound is characterized by a return to their youthful bliss, flying around the hallways of the only high school in Neverland like a four-person embodiment of Peter Pan on an eternal, consistent dosage of LSD.

A Review of Pre-Compass' "Trails"

Pre-Compass - Trails (2010, Anti-Raunchwagon Records)

J. Edgil has an unprecedented number of precedents set for the lo-fi kingdom of DIY music. One of those precendents is the amount of monikers by which he goes. That aside, since the release his mammoth of the underworld, Thunder Bunder (2007) as "Forest Porridge", he has (as far his his solo projects go)  experimented with the hi-fi kingdom of the overworld ever since. This culminated in a triumph of the overworld in with the self-titled debut Maita". How many debuts does one man need?

A lot.

During his current era, which is marked by the release of Trails (2010), he truly gets the listener to "eat it". The debut from "Pre-Compass" demands one's full attention*. This <expletive> is mixing the two worlds of real-life instruments and straight electronic heeby-jeeby to create the bonds of marriage between Atlas Sound, Ween, Brian Eno and Bjork if they were cousins. It's a very illegal marriage/record either way: it's impossible to do in public. However, that doesn't keep it from being a phantasmic sci-fi joyride that phase shifts between the year 3000 AD and BC every second (which is a good thing!).
