My Mind- Fed Up With My Self 12" (Harvest Recordings, 2011)

My Mind is a group from Philly, born from the belly of the hydra that eats forever.

"Fed Up with My Self – De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum is the second "proper" record from Philadelphia's My Mind, a follow-up to their Path Masher 7" released in 2009 on Badmaster Records. This one-sided 12" is an ambitious step sideways in composition and execution, as the relatively straight-forward delivery of 60 second pop-punk songs has been replaced by a pretentious song-cycle/rock-opera format, and turgid lyrical content concerned with the familiar topics of Kontemporary Konsumer Kulture, religious confusion, and war.

Features contributions from Adam Cooper (Akasha Blade) and Brendan O'Connor (Serpents of Wisdom)

One-sided clear vinyl 12", b-side hand-silkscreened with terror image, pressed at 45rpm for maximum anguish, edition of 100" [Harvest Recordings]

Ghostcapital is proud to hit you with the debut rip of My Mind's very latest- an epic flurry of fitful punk-pop* miniatures arcwelded into a bold 9-minute continuum. Don't sleep on this micropress, kiddos. A future classick from some of my very best peoples. Last I checked, Harvest had only 15 copies left.

My Mind- "Noblesse Oblige"

So, I've been steady rocking "Noblesse Oblige", the latest morsel from fond VA/Philly/ Toronto friends- My Mind. It would appear that this track has been recently included on the Funny/Not Funny Fall Mixtape. If my understanding is correct, they should also have an LP coming out on Harvest Records sometime in early 2011. I featured My Mind's splendiferous Path Masher 7", released last year on Badmaster, way way back in the wee hours of this site. These peeps can be counted on to circumnavigate the far-flung poles between concise & spastic 1-min power-psych-folk jamz* (Did I just write that?) - sourcing their inspiration from such-like Nick Lowe & Nillson, The Raincoats & Hüsker Dü- and an obverse tendency toward more rambunctious & clattering extended drone cacophanies. One might sample their 2009 U.S. Out of My Mind/Stay Out Of The Territories Cassette for a good example of what it is I'm trying to explain. Word.

*Actually, I think they're calling it Punk-Pop (but definitely not the other way around)
