 I'm not sure why anyone would want to smell like punks. We'll have to ask the host of our sister podcast, the Unblinking Nostril.

Another podcast, another Unblinking Ear Records release to plug. This one is from Staten Island power trio Kerbivore, a 5-song EP called All Dressed. Without totally reiterating their one sheet (which I wrote, so it wouldn't be plagiarism) I'm going to say it's their best stuff yet. They've always been a band with chops but this is the first release where, back to front, they've got the tunes to match. Its opening track also opens this edition of the podcast and the whole shebang is available for streaming/digital download at the Unblinking Ear Records bandcamp page, with cassettes shipping very soon.

(Above: The new business model)

Music is becoming a cheaper and cheaper commodity to the point where it's nearly worthless. Physical copies are slipping into irrelevance and MP3s are easily obtainable for free. It's high time to we make the pendulum to swing in the other direction and force music to be heard as high art rather than disposable fodder.

With this in mind, starting with our next edition, the Unblinking Ear Podcast will only be heard in select museums. Sorry, plebeians.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast 8/8/13

As I was getting ready to post this podcast someone sent me an excellent article on some of the more annoying habits of people on social media. As a lark, I decided to see how many the very human but very irritating motivations outlined in the article one could apply to this podcast.

Image Crafting. I have great knowledge of and good taste in a certain silver of a subgenre of rock music.

Narcissism. My my knowledge is so deep and taste so impeccable, it would a crime not so share them with the world.

Attention Craving. Please recognize my awesome knowledge and taste!

Jealousy Inducing. Yes, I own that rare record which I just played. Don't you want it/wish you were me?

Loneliness. I have nothing better to do with my life than assemble these.

Wow. 5 for 5. I'm pretty insufferable. Hopefully you find this podcast interesting/informative/entertaining enough to justify my abhorrent behavior.
