“Arm”

16 Pounds of Pet is an Alternative Rock band from Asheville, NC.
This particular track is from their 1999 self titled album. This album used to be available at Independent Music Online, but the site is offline now.
Very little is known about the band, but they sound like an amplified dishwasher on crack. Ok, not really. The best way to describe them is a weird hybrid of Melvins and Faith No More.

Part 3 of our “NIN|JA” series is a previously unreleased track by Jane’s Addiction. The track is called “Whores” and dates back from the band’s earliest days.
An interesting bit of info on this track, is that (until this studio version was recorded) the track was only available on bootleg live performances from the band’s initial run in the mid-late 1980’s. The band finally decided to give this great song a proper recording and included it on the 2009 NIN|JA tour sampler (itself a compilation of the Nine Inch Nails, Jane’s Addiction, Street Sweeper Social Club tour), which was given away (for free) by from NIN.com

Melvins – Larry (click it, then download it from SkyDrive)
Well, my dear blog reader. Larry is the title of (ironically) the only good song on this 1994 album by grunge godfathers Melvins, although they were technically called Snivlem because of a minor contractual agreement with Atlantic Records.
This was a very experimental album by the band (they’ve been known to do that), that was released on Amphetamine Reptile records in 1994. The band was currently signed to a major label (Atlantic Records) thanks to the grunge explosion of 1991/1992, but Atlantic wasn’t very helpful to the band (see the song “Laughing with Lucifer at Satan’s Side Show” from the bands 1997 AmRep release “Honky” for more insight).
Prick was recorded and sold as a means to raise funds for the Stoner Witch sessions, which was eventually released on Atlantic (and is probably their best effort to date).
Larry is a hard rock, mosh-pit inducing grunge-fest. I think you will enjoy it.
