Fashionably Late Baby Jesus Presents

Welcome to ahrefequals Winterval extravaganza, in celebration both of the end of winter and the birth of everyone's bestest best friend, Baby Jesus (not to be confused with Big Baby Jesus, RIP). Sure, I'm late, but a good party takes a few days to recover from. How was yours?
Of course, nobody reads this blog. But hey! If you do, you can get yourself some free stuff!

As you can see, Little Rock Records is giving away some music. It's pretty hot shit, and it's yours if you want it.
Little Rock are often to be found giving stuff away, doing free gigs and generally being really fucking cool about sharing their hard work. They have several acts across several styles, and all of their free MP3s are on their website. All of it is well worth checking out.
And be honest; if it wasn't free, you'd just dinghy it to go and download the new Girls Aloud or Katie Melua Best of for fuck all anyway. So, you know, why the heck not?

(The images below are links to zips, or you can go over to the website and see what other goodies they have.)

First up, for all your winterval disco needs, the Disco Beard has you:

Next up is the ever-free EP from Copyleft. Copyleft are a live band based in Glasgow who make hip hop. Featuring MC Tickle and producer Brad Manners, polemic and storytelling come together over laid back grooves bound by an ideal; that music is for sharing.

But wait! There's more! Ambient mystery men, Art/Audio Interface, have some of their chilled yet faintly disturbing wierdness for you:



IDM take on one of the old masters of comedy in a marriage of techno and slam poetry:

...and then there's a Trippy Diso edit; more diso for all you disco lovers, this time with Even More Sexy!

Westboro Baptist Church; Pitching a Song to Slayer

god hates the world!
and all her people!
to be honest, i don't think they'll be into it.
it's not scary at all.

i'm sure they had fun making it, though.
everyone i know loves a bit of cathartic expression of their unjustified hatred, and i'm sure these dullwitted fools are no different.

i am curious how they square the 'god hates the world' message with that whole 'god is love' thing, but hey, fuck it.
i have two leather belts and i'm vegetarian.
we can't all be perfect, can we?
i mean, come on.
if we needed these spiritually bereft morons to actually understand their saviour's message before ramming it down our throats then we'd have missed out on this classic track, and all those lovely sermons they broadcast.

i wonder if they'll get into terrorizer?

playing feminist bingo

this is a bingo card.
have a look at the squares, familiarise yourself with their content, and then go over and play on the comments of this news story.

i was reading the story because it was in my google alerts for local news.
i wasn't reading it to suggest the web play feminist bingo.
i'm giving you the card first because i think it might be more fun than just reading the total bollocks from some of these tools.
god knows you can get enough of reading stupid shit written by tools.

some of the comments also put me in mind of my new friend morchades' words, words i loved when i read them.

When I mention the wolf in my front yard, please don't pop in to tell me the tiger in the next town is worse.
Yes, I know tigers are vicious.
Yes, I know tigers are bigger than wolves.
Yes, I know tigers are faster than wolves.
Yes, I know tigers are stronger than wolves.
Yes, I know the tiger was last seen traveling in my direction.
None of this changes the fact there is a fucking wolf in my fucking front yard.
I'm going to worry about that first, thank you.
