Show on May 9th for ya'll as sunlite gets dimmer...

Lithuanian Hip Hop Noise Folk
in the flesh May 9th at KC's!

More public than enemy: NSFTM to appear at Fredericksburg hellhole to smash yr face in.
That's true, mega NSFTM show at KC's on Saturday May 9 8PM.
Yeah we aren't on thee flier for Theoffesetband's show on thee venue site, we keep it underground, see this one:

[sic sic sic]

Recent live outings have been well received gonzo-wildness. New CD (see below) is selling astronomical units 'n' pleasing pop fans nationwide. NSFTM resurgence 2k9; beware thee future LP of church hymns rewired to praise higher.

Or get punched, punk.

A Child's Introduction to Money and the Instruments of the Media

Dinosaurs and other such memories come flooding back, reminding us that rainbows still glow 'n' the sunlite still feels a bit too bright. So we sewed a bunch of bags, crafted more beats 'n' attempted to dismantle the structure again. Who knows if it worked...we know it helps us stay sane amidst the downpour that's making it hard to drag our soggy bodies thru.

We cast this spell while you cast votes early, often, 'n' fruitlessly. & we still find more ways to have fun with rekkerds than just playing them or jacking breaks:

Translation: New NSFTM disc. Goofy packaging. Goofier songs. Goofiest sales.
Paypal for 8$ to mhorn8dg@umw.edu

Cast Spells, Not Votes

The beatbox not the ballotbox.

We're not gonna say vote. In fact, we're gonna say not to vote. New NSFTM t-shirt design, when we party, we 3rd party. There's something going on 'n' we don't like what it is.

Oh yeah, 'n' Media Tricks is no more, it does not exist. There's a few copies of Hellgrammite left. That's it. No Sunlite is dead, thee 2 party system is dead, hop hip lives.

There's No Such Thing as Washer Fluid

Hellgrammite is getting scarce, tho some copies may be hiding in yr local washer fluid bin. NSFTM is dead, long live No Sunlite for the Media.

Hip Hop

Hip hop gates are closed. When will they market "Fi-Lo Hop Hip"? Backpacks backflipped, too.

Don't Those Kids Have Some Radios to Turn Off?

When yr heart has been turned by their crashing sound, "dumb intrigued by the drum", please we ask - turn it off. It's better to never have heard than to be too late to reject cos its infection has struck/stuck. We'll silkscreen you a new set of ears 'n' burn you lo-fi sounds that's how it's supposed to be, maniac. You think Satan would lie to you 'n' make it hard to understand 'r difficult to digest? Chewed up 'n' spat out, lukewarm 'n' top 40. There's no air in radiospace. (Suckers never play).
You buy what you eat. You buy what you eat. When it's checkout time, can you throw up what you've already absorbed?

Songs From a Dungeon

We're still sticking with hope. Sounds still lo-fi, create what you must 'n' infest what they hand you. So we spraypainted a dozen 'n' a half cigar boxes discarded by old smokers 'n' stuffed 'em with a cassette 'n' a CD of anti-popo 'n' pro-Papa folk songs. Songs From a Dungeon. (Click for a listen or two.) Not to break open skulls 'r force listeners, but because we must create. Who knows, one of them may be lying around in yr town. Just ask. No big distribution deals this time. Hellgrammite's still around too. Media Tricks is scarce.
So we enter Lepidopteran phase of thee 219 manifestations available.

No Sunlite for the Media. 219.

No Sunlite for the Media. No 5-0.

187 on the Media.

No Sunlite Again 'n' Again 'n' Again 'n' Again.

Hellgrammite

Sorry for the blogdormancy; tho in realworld terms NSFTM has been squirming, kicking basements in, affixing our logo across the shirts of thousands, 'n' recording frantically. & here is a result...

NSFTM is proud to announce our first vinyl release, 45 minutes of collective singalongs 'n' hop hip reconstructions: Hellgrammite.Looking to move past old forms, song structures, CD-R's, earth itself...No Sunlite for the Media deliver a new take on our rip out the system mentality. Each rekkerd cover comes hand-silkscreened with a demon tree backed with a face covered in dobson flies. Larva to beast 'n' back again. Also included is a 4 foot square poster of collages, information to prevent against dobson attacks, photos, lyrics, spraypaint, more silkscreening 'n' much media reworked. All told, there were 25 people grabbing for mic time on this disc 'n' that spirit manifests in what is clearly NSFTM's most maddening strike yet. As critic Nicholas Vane writes in the liner notes:

"This is not eclecticism for its own sake, an assemblage of dead culture's clothing and rote remembrance's display. There be no zolo ostrich-masks here...I hear a whole sick crew - as pinned as quantum particles - dragging a culture into the sunlight of reason and joy."

It's quite unclear how one clip will convince you or ruin it for you or whatever, so click at yr own risk.

None of it sounds like itself, Hellgrammite doesn't cater. We hope you'll join us.

10$ paypaled to mhorn8dg@umw.edu or sent to 4924 Andrea Ave
Annandale, VA 22003

& 5 for the new hellgrammite tree or dobson fly shirts. A few copies of Media Tricks still left.

Keep it simple, wax forever. - NSFTM

Dungeon Records OOP

Why do we break sales rekkerds?

Dungeon Records can no longer be purchased thru our mailorder/paypal unit. 219 of 'em have now dispersed. It's gone, along with thee Vytautas Swordblade cassette. If you have 'em, count yerself lucky. Now commence massive price jacking thru ebay.

There are however, still a few copies of our new CD, Media Tricks available for $6 paypal postpaid (+2$ overseas) to mhorn8dg@umw.edu.

& if yer too cheap, steal these free mp3s from an NSFTM show bootlegged last weak:

Sanctuary
Bees
Round/Legs/Scruffy Megamix (Fastword Mix)

Yer never to young to ask: Why do you break yr legs?


Or if on thee other hand, yer rolling in dough, send for an NSFTM shirt. Our brand new design for thee Media Tricks disc is fully operational 'n' selling to kids all over these tectonic plates. It bears an angry No-Sunlite sun face with a flaming mohawk in thee shape of thee word "MEDIATRIX", as seen in this photo. 5$ name yr size/color 'n' we got all our other designs too.

Thanks for those who bought our rekkerds 'n' came to our shows, be prepared as high quality new material will soon be dropping.

Martha: Lungless, but no Beaver

Martha: Lungless, but no Beaver

Because of a recent impassioned NSFTM performance at a wedding, Big Martha - longtime No Sunlite For the Media ukulele player 'n' MC - suffered a collapsed lung. He is now quite stable 'n' out of thee hospital, but in celebration for his quick healing we give you, thee listener, a new track.

Garbage, Gargoyle (I hope yr lung heals)

Much love to all those who helped out in this situation 'n' for those of you who didn't know, now you know. & now you have a new NSFTM mp3. Dope, indeed.

gargoyle garbage turn to stone...garbage, gargoyle go back home
gargoyle, garbage turn to stone...garbage gargoyle go back home
to thee earth
to thee center of thee earth
we'll go to thee core
we'll go marching to thee core
we'll find thee entrance
beneath thee surface

Christmas Again? No...Merry Epiphany!

Gold, Frankincense & NSFTM

Christmas isn't over yet 'n' in that spirit, No Sunlite for the Media wishes to extend joys of thee season 'n' such to you blogviewers - again! That means more MP3's of songs we didn't write for thee lazy times yer spending taking down that tree:

We 3 Kings [REMOVED] (pretty much thee only Epiphany song that exists, right? Amanda on chorus vocals, Andrew on pinging noises, Math is screaming (get it? They 3 Kings...We 3 soundmakers!))

Silent Nite, No Sunlite (technically a Christmas song, not an Epiphany tune...technically Math's last guitar solo is wildly wrong too, but who cares for technicalities, it's just about joy this time around ya'll!)

But that's not thee only new music we've been up to!

As many people predicted would eventually happen, NSFTM finally produced their first noise rock/doom metal cassette. Now unleashed...VYTAUTAS SWORDBLADE!

Here's a: snippet

A tribute to sometimes obscured NSFTM influences such as Black Sabbath 'n' Ulver, Vytautas Swordblade also speaks to NSFTM's Lithuanian roots, thee album entirely sung in thee band's native Lithuanian tongue 'n' based upon thee heroic exploits of Vytautas the Great, among others. 27 Copies have been manufactured on custom made Lithuanian-flag bearing cassette tapes. 20 minutes ranging from pastoral folk to unorthodox war metal. So we dropped thee hip hop on Dungeon Records 'n' now we done did Lithuanian doomy folk black metal. What's next?


Vytautas Swordblade is 2$ postage paid (see address 2 posts below) OR get one free if you tell me you want one with yr copy of Dungeon Records. Also, in thee Lithuanian Christmas spirit, a free copy of thee tape will be given to anyone who sends in a dope Christmas poem written in Lithuanian. Mirtis, indeed.

For sending in poems or queries, or if you want to be on thee mailing list (growing daily!) to be alerted of new blog updates (& thus free MP3's, knowledge of new albums, new pictures drawn in MS-Paint, etc.) - nosunliteforthemedia@gmail.com is just a click away!

Peace!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas from No Sunlite for the Media!

Dungeon Records

No Sunlite for The Media is proud to announce our newest CD Release: Dungeon Records. 80 minutes of experimental hip hop 'n' folk, recorded from August-November 2006. NSFTM's most exhaustive effort to date, Dungeon Records has been appealing to those who want their pop music more real 'n' their hip hop not sold out.

Live show favorites such as "Rhino", "Why Do You Break Yr Legs?", "Vanity", "Point of the Song", "I Don't Have to Go to Bed", "Dentist" have been revamped (you thought "Rhino" couldn't be hip hop??) 'n' over 20 new songs have been written to expand upon thee No Sunlite for the Media message: Don't care what they think 'n' stay one step ahead of thee Demons.

Packaged in a custom made oversized slipcase, Dungeon Records is encased in a 32 page liner booklet with complete lyrics (& guitar tabs!). Each set is hand stamped 'n' every album contains 2 leaves lovingly Modpodged to a photo. Thee album is a handnumbered limited edition of 219. Get 'em 'fore they're gone!

Egg vs. Tofu

In Tha Dungeon, Mixing with Tha Functions

Download thee New Joint: Tofu Boy MP3 [removed]

Back to thee basics, we're still wearing Asics. Happy Thanksgiving, NSFTM fans, here's a one time only exclusive rap featuring Tha Boys of 315, including longtime No Sunlite collaborator Jack. Moderated by a brave Argentinian ringleader, Juan 'n' Cecilio trade insults back 'n' forth in different languages. One is an egg, thee other tofu. Strange, lo-fi, 'n' goofy fun. This is pop, baby.








"杰克是一个蛋"

















"La Batalla Del Siglo"

















"Old Man Cecil is a Tofu Boy (Llama Tofu, Osprey Tofu, Vulture Tofu, Monkey Tofu)"






From our Dungeon to yrs, have a nice November 'n' keep raking them leaves. - NSFTM

I Must Spit It Out

Plenty of people are confused. What is No Sunlite for the Media?
+ There is no simple answer. Are you writing a paper on it? Well turn to Wikipedia, thee purveyor of all that is notable online. Nothing shows up? It runs much deeper than that then. & Nope, NSFTM isn't that children's book.
+ Doesn't Googlism provide answers? Yes, it is true that "no sunlite for the media is...my! Rather noisy!" but noise is just one aspect of all that is opposed to providing photosynthesis ready rays of lite to the mainstream.
+ So what do thee youth say? A 13 year old once queried, "No Sunlite for the Media? Does that mean you like the Underground?" A beautiful simplification. But what's thee difference between Pitchfork 'n' No Sunlite for the Media then? Worlds. It's thee difference between trendy 'n' I-Don't-Care-What-You-Think, betwixt marketing fashion 'n' not being sold out.+ Styles can change 'n' are often left behind, but when one is No Sunlite for the Media, this is of absolutely no concern cos s/he is way ahead already. & thus one can be No Sunlite for the Media in any number of incarnations.
+ We mainly choose 'n' do hip hop because it strikes us as still pure, no amount of mainstreaming can kill what made thee form so anti-Media in thee first place. More knowledge can be given in a shorter time, more change can result. But that doesn't mean NSFTM can't be you 'r yr art too. Or that NSFTM can't play a pop song.
So check out this never-to-otherwise-be-released popsicle.

Have More Fun With NSFTM (3 Part Demo Suite) (Lyrics) [REMOVED]

We promise that more material is coming soon in CD form. But until then, think on it, how can you NSFTM (verb) in yr daily life? & feel free to share that with us by posting yr comments 'n' e/regular mailing us. Live.

It's Either thee Media or thee Bullet.

39 Years ago today one of these men died. He is now fashion as much as revolution.
Thee second has been demonized heinously, but it's OK cos he was put on a stamp.
Thee 3rd is in no way as momentous; he has but humbly updated thee 2nd's words to preserve thee underlying message.
Uh oh: what's that sound?
Old tricks with new words; there's no doubt he had No-Sunlite spirit all along.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beware of those who sell you revolution but really are faking it. There is only one No Sunlite for the Media.
Those're just 3 of thee many ways to reach it.

Malcolm X, Recording, Imagination
Are all thee tools we need

No Sunlite Emerges from tha Dungeon?

Grim Times For Pop Music... NSFTM is coming to burn it up...
Grim Times For Pop Music... NSFTM is coming to burn it up...
Grim Times For Pop Music... Jay-Z's new single exists...
Grim Times For Pop Music... NSFTM is coming to burn it up...


In addition to burning equipment, NSFTM have spent thee past weeks hard at work cooking up some highly progressive hop hip 'n' we thought that thee sounds we were producing were interesting enuff to warrant a new release sometime soon. Mixing 'n' final touches are being put on thee project, but keep yr mouse klicking here for more updates. So here we bring you a glimpse of what this stuff might sound like, NSFTM presents ya'll some songs that didn't fit thee feel of thee rest, but they were nonetheless rekkerded. Listen up cos even NSFTM's demos are better than mainstream rap.

2006 (Tha Number of tha Industry Beast) [Removed]
Can you name those samples? Math attacks thee industry, Martha raps some battles 'n' then L!Z goes on a tirade against whack MC's 'n' journalist types who rely on cliches. Dope recorder work from Math, but our Iron Maiden tribute intentions didn't translate as well as we hoped to a flowable beat. An experiment that we feel must be shared.

Math Gets His Black Metal On

SiD Travels to Jupiter [Removed]
Josh here flows over a funky jazzy mechanical romp, some truly weird "dip" samples, 'n' Math's reworking of an ODB favorite, just NSFTM-ized. If yer into educational space rhymes, well then here ya'go!

Oh yeah 'n' we always like to show you our lyrics cos too many times NSFTM has trouble 'derstanding our favorite MC's. & what if we're yrs? Keep listening 'n' tell us what you think.
Hop hip won't die.
