</div><div class="MsoNormal">Bubbles is No Sunlite’s double cassette of garage noise rock that came gnashing at the heels of the <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Noise Dogs</span></i> tape. You know the drill: hone the sound, take it up a notch. We left the garage for the basement, ditched the cassette multi-tracking for the most primitive free software. Who knows how many songs are actually spread out on these two tapes, but it totals about 40 minutes of music. Could this have fit on one cassette, no problem? Yes, of course. But a double tape release is awesome. If you want the CD-R you will have to fight to get it out of the back, it is really <i><b>wedged</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"> in there.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Unknown persons, half-formed punch thru these songs (I never got to ask Trip if Ellen was the girl on the chip bag) Is Michael really a clown or did he just blow a penalty kick? But there’s no circus! Does Molly look like a horse or does she feed them? Why did they all eat spicy chips, gravy and cabbage? Or maybe the myriad motifs - food, animals, love, snow, sludge, science – just paint the picture of the dungeon laboratory clearer when transmitted thru unfamiliar characters.</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Now if memory serves me… it was the blizzard of ‘10 and there was too much snow to use our speeders. Luckily we could trudge the mile between dungeons to lay down these feisty tracks/drink potions and eat chips. This was back when we thought the Moon was really the best thing you could hope for and top of the line was the only beverage that could properly compliment Muppet Show DVDs. But I digress.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">On this recording you will rarely hear less than 2 guitars and 2 vocalists at any point; we were just way too amped to do it any other way. Garage noise rock doesn’t quite sum it up – there is pretty indie rock (“Plankton Lung”, “Sing Me Awake”), emo (“…Devils…”), heartfelt mystic folk punk (“The Red Sled”, “Deirdre”), Frodus (“Turn Into a Jetson”) and Pearl Jam (“5 July 1959”).

Every line fits seamlessly atop the enormous treasurey of break-beats and tambourine loops blasting thru yr speakers.<i> Songs from A Dungeon</i> may boast the most diverse and rich beats, <i>Raising Hell’s</i> pound much harder and take fewer prisoners. The hymns with all their harmonies and created verses flow better with surrounding tracks than in any other album. Sample after ingenious sample provide depth and humor. (“Oh no!”) And the seasoned No Sunlite listener (probably whoever’s reading this right now) can pick out <b>∞ </b>musical and lyrical references to previous No Sunlite songs. Count ‘em.</div><div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

This is their most direct tape (rekkerd, if you will, I personally won't, but I don't have to so I...) and it sounds like a tape, recorded in analogue in one session, unlike (every?) other pieced together NSFTM effort. Why you'd want to get these digital files is beyond me (oh yeah because maybe you want a chance to hear this otherwise impossible garage monster thing?) but I've peaked at 'em and it seems like these guys didn't bother remastering. Which is a good thing - hiss was the main instrument used on this album (EP, if you will, but I...).<br /><br />They warned me that it wouldn't be "that hip hop sound" or whatever and that the influences this time were Wire and Guided by Voices as opposed to Boogie Down, youth group songs and Negativland. But they were wrong. It ends up sounding like Half Japanese, hometown heroes for NSFTM, but maybe it just sounds like No Sunlite themselves (un?)focusing on one sound and even then there's variety. I hear some folk on "Rat Bit" and the rhyming on "Mallard Barbers" doubtlessly springs from rap sources (and Star Trek cards).

Luckily, this introduction makes even the newest Medians feel like they’ve been listening, recording, and jamming all their lives. With the instructions “just sing something that sounds good on the verses,” Math plopped me into the realm of lo-fi and I’ve never turned back. This album brings NSFTM back to its roots and allows listeners to return to their childhood days with a mix of genres that’ll get your head spinning faster than the merry-go-round you used to push on the playground.<br /><br />Though each song brings its own paradigm-subverting, sellout-hating, bring-it-back-to-the-truth-of-the-basics elements, one song in particular strikes directly to the hearts of its listeners. “</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:100%;" >End</span><span style="font-size:100%;">” is arguably the best song on the album, and possibly the most poignant of all the songs in NSFTM history thus far.

And, with <span style="font-style: italic;">A Child’s Introduction</span> you get <span style="font-weight: bold;">30</span> of them. But before confronting the songs, you had to dig through the package. The album’s appearance was their most uniquely designed yet. Each CD lovingly placed in a hand-sewn fabric bag with a random (or not so random...) assortment of trinkets. You got a <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">Star Trek</span> card (to reference the sample source on "Signals From Beyond"), a toy dinosaur (to battle with while jamming to "Dinosaurs"), a Halloween pencil (to put you in the spooky mood for "Cast Spells Not Votes"), a hard candy (to suck on during "Cotton Candy Factory"), photos of the band undressed, covered only by vinyl (a comment on rap: sex sells, or rap: vinyl breaks forever?...or both?), and a lyrics sheet, of course. [In a weird display of Zappa-inspired conceptual continuity, those same <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">Star Trek</span> cards became lyrics for the band's next year garage-rock tape <span style="font-style: italic;">Noise Dogs</span>, while the "safety-pinned" artwork and album title referenced a <a href="http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1688037">Disneyland LP</a> that the band had sampled heavily on their <span style="font-style: italic;">Hellgrammite</span> LP.] With NSFTM you don’t just get sound—you get genuine art.<br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100" width="300"><param name="movie" value="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=3676242848/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="allowNetworking" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=3676242848/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="always" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="100" width="300"></embed><noembed>&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://nsftm.bandcamp.com/track/no-sunlite-gza-of-love"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;No Sunlite (Gza of Love) by No Sunlite for the Media&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;</noembed></object><br />The easy crowdpleaser, maybe for its catchy hook, but I hope for it’s powerful content, is track four, “No Sunlite (Gza of Love).” At 2 minutes 19 seconds, NSFTM syncs up the line “2:19, time to start knocking blocks out like Jenga,” a small detail that portrays the band’s creative proficiency. Math’s rapping is now a staple of both this album and NSFTM’s legacy at large, but it does not pigeonhole their style. Only a few moments after the 2:19 brilliance, Math reinforces this philosophy in “Gza of Love,” when he delivers one of my favorite lines from the whole album: “our desire to rewire is our greatest asset.”<br /></div><br />Before you read on, <span style="font-weight: bold;">play track four</span> and listen to that line one more time: “our desire to rewire is our greatest asset.”<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuAKEPp622QDxckdDQTC3Oj5EV4hyphenhyphenMM7Fbt7ZQ9kiy8X7yhrjxqgMl2GoAbWOdadgTcrDsw437QZ4yr85iiV-_5IJWdzor0edKuWGM7UHIRJPaFnesdSaFZRAlUb7ZiyUk7L01/s1600/DSCN0255.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuAKEPp622QDxckdDQTC3Oj5EV4hyphenhyphenMM7Fbt7ZQ9kiy8X7yhrjxqgMl2GoAbWOdadgTcrDsw437QZ4yr85iiV-_5IJWdzor0edKuWGM7UHIRJPaFnesdSaFZRAlUb7ZiyUk7L01/s400/DSCN0255.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464081218040578658" border="0" /></a>For me, going to school three hours south of <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Annandale</span> meant getting bits and pieces of current No Sunlite projects but always feeling slightly out of the loop.

I'm not sure how many copies were made originally, though I believe it was only 20 (no one will ever know?). Ultra-limited, ultra-valuable, none more cherished than this <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">cigar box</span>, which contains: a CD-R, a cassette, TWO pages of lyrics, and ONE extra page (front ‘n’ back) of liners. So you can see why this one's a contender for Most Precious Item In My Collection.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">Still, I have to say that I am extremely excited at the prospect of <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Songs From a Dungeon</span> going cyber. Yes, Trippy "Lo-Fi" Tim is pumped over some <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">10101110001110</span> action because it just doesn't make sense to me that so many Medians have yet to hear this release. On the other hand, if most Medians wear the title with pride having only heard the rest of the catalogue...well, they’re in for a treat.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Let me be unequivocal about this - <span style="font-style: italic;">Songs From A Dungeon</span> is the most <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51); font-weight: bold;">educational</span> NSFTM album, PERIOD. Track 2, "Again ‘n’ Again" is like a bell bringing class to a start. “This is a world of words. It takes millions of words every day to keep our civilization going. In this word world you have to know how to write as well as speak. No matter how good yr ideas are they won’t get you far unless you express them clearly” [sampled from <span style="font-style: italic;">How to Study and Why</span>]. NSFTM take these words to heart; you better believe it. I would even go nearly so far as to say that it’s difficult to write about this record simply because it speaks for itself so <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">clearly and directly</span> (not to mention the 2 PAGES front 'n' back of lyrics printed in, what, size 9 font?). Never have I heard the gang in such unified intellectual fury, spitting about a variety of sociopolitical topics and presenting the listener with unadulterated Dungeon Philosophy. “Anti po-po ‘n’ pro papa”. In other words, disapproving of violence perpetuated by illegitimate powers, but all for a moral community beneath a moral authority.</span><br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100" width="300"><param name="movie" value="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=1546171001/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="allowNetworking" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=1546171001/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="always" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="100" width="300"></embed><noembed>&amp;amp;lt;a href="http://nsftm.bandcamp.com/track/triumph-of-the-profits"&amp;amp;gt;Triumph of the Profits by No Sunlite for the Media&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;</noembed></object><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Of course the language isn’t the only thing that sticks.

For those who missed this - we here reprint the original LP liner notes written by NSFTM historian Nicholas Vane. These analyses were an integral part of the mythmaking/media fighting story of No Sunlite.]<br /></span> </span><br />I was lunching at Jimmy John's, listening to Crass' incensed martial beat, when I realized I hadn't a clue about the latest plottings of No Sunlite for the Media. My last rendezvous with the cellular collective was shortly after the hop-hip & spelunk-rock of <span style="font-style: italic;">Media Tricks</span>. They'd just wrapped Mar-Lu-Ridge around their necks like a dookie rope. As they walked off the stage toward their metaphorical cities of refuge (to continue their studies, their ancillary art, their feuds), I gripped my notepad and wondered, "Well? What's next?"</span></em><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i><em><span style="font-style: normal;">This is next. <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Hellgrammite</span> is next. The settlement of a couple hundred idle bets made in jazz salons, the letters section of zines, and bombed-out subway cars. The audience exhales; another escape effected. The word surrounding this release - if my sources may be trusted - is of pressure and deadlines, sandstorms shrieking against shut-up fires. You won't hear any of this from the crew; this far, NSFTM has been largely satisfied letting the work yield the responses, a maddening trait in directors, nourishing in musicians. As always for this prolific group, in the final tally tension is indistinguishable from sharpening. Their fears cause fears; you fill your balloon skin with their joy to learn where your leaks are.</span></em><i><br /><br /></i><em><span style="font-style: normal;">The crew's still nagging at their latest long thread: restoring hip-hop glories. Some MCs have become carnival barkers, promising a glimpse at Zombi Hip-Hop, the living dead artform. But "hip-hop isn't a cadaver," Math explains in the notes to the lanky Zigaboo shuffle "Busting Up Bad Rap Tapes," "but it has dead tapes that need to be sliced and diced..." Math [last name withheld] is miles beyond the riggedy-ruff dip, that surfaced on mixtapes all across the Atlantic Seaboard in the late 90s. All his influences and experiences are the ipecac drawing purity from his guts. Check "Lincoln Flies Without Wings". Jana-engineered from palpable drawer slams and Kelly's [last name withheld] unpredictable key shaking, it's a perfect foil for an indignant outpour. " Rekkerd skips one time two times skips two time skips on the rekkerd ‘n’ time skips the time skips on the rekkerd ‘n’ it skips every time flip it on the side ‘n’ skip on the side flip it on the side ‘n’ every other side skips on the rekkerd ‘n’ the rekkerd one time skips every time ‘n’ one ‘n’ two times..." - this critic keeps flashing back to Linda Sharrock's "Portrait". Math makes the most of his solo turns, displaying a Genius-like flair for the acronym, and the vision of a hungry KRS-One. Is this the fevered projection of a critic, that most failed of artists? I direct you to these lines from "Crossroads": "Now in my younger days I used to shoot hoops/make news ‘n’ find groups with dope grooves/to make loops ‘n’ produce new hits, eat crispix/run track ‘n’ score tetris/start fires just for fun/‘n’ question why no one’s got rich..." And that's not even taking into account Rich's startling production, which flips an Apostles bassline into a Don Cherry passage as if the 70s were all about the marriage of free-jazz and art punk.</span></em><i><br /><br /></i><em><span style="font-style: normal;">But don't get it twisted into producer credits, sample origins or MC assignments. This record bears a community's imprint. Some artists are forever associated with cities; Black Sabbath with Birmingham; Boogie Down Productions with the Bronx; Brutal Juice with Denton. No Sunlite, though they've repped hard for NOVA, are basements and stages. Westmo Basement, in particular, colors <span style="font-style: italic;">Hellgrammite</span>. The crew worked out "Mandibles" and "Stomach" there on a windy January night. A capacity crowd witnessed the first public production of these woozy math-rock tracks, each a side of the same beaver's tail. Expectations were thick; like the perspiration on the assembled throng's necks, it could have evaporated in an instant. With the first stabs of bass from Josh and Neal [last names withheld], wielded like whirlbats, triumph. After the performance (which lasted all of 20 seconds), someone in the group decided "Mandibles" wasn't yet right. So they repeated it. Another play, then another, about fifteen times in all until the clamorous, AmRep-derived chant of "get it out" became a kind of cathartic refrain for everyone involved. Satisfied, Math counted in "Stomach" Fugazi-style, everyone scrambling for new instruments. Legend has it that Trippy was playing the sample of an outraged bum growling "I'll punch you in the stomach" through a Leslie cabinet running through a ring modulator running through a a modified Speak 'n' Spell running through a Cry Baby pedal running through a speakerphone! No matter the number of iterations, what is remembered by all was the immutable rage of the sample as it clipped and stumbled into a dyspeptic statement of limitation, which has become the current state of the song as you hear it.</span></em><i><br /><br /></i><em><span style="font-style: normal;">Old equipment and old friends... the No Sunlite minds reached out to an old acquaintance from school, Mikey [last name withheld]. Drawing from the playbook of Colorado master provocateurs Longmont Potion Castle, Big Martha [real name withheld] hit him with a three-week phone barrage that elicited the kind of rage expression normally heard in primal scream therapy (and that only by the licensed). Initial reports indicated a collapsed lung, but after much negotiation Mikey signed on to <span style="font-style: italic;">Hellgrammite</span>, even allowing some of the phone calls to be released on this record (it will be up to the listener to parse his contributions). On "Lyrical Lunar Lasers," SoCal stalwart Ben-Zoom Loco, who rocketed to notoriety via his <span style="font-style: italic;">Dungeon Records</span> spots, tosses shouts to Blind Willie Johnson against a deconstructed, metallic boom-bap, the kind that Rammellzee rocked with Death Comet. And nearly every sung line is a group effort - listen to the record! To label this hop-hip alone aligns you with the old guard. Ask Betty, Martha, Trippy, Elizabeth, Josh, Liz, Kaitlin, Jack, Peter, Tyler, Julia, Jana, Neal, Math, Ben, Kelly...heck, even ask Morgan. When this far-flung collective joins vocal tributaries, I hear the wood-grain texture of shape note singing. The b-side closer "Dobson Eye" is the obvious exemplar while "Body Slam", at a shade under a minute, presents a stunning amalgam of backwoods gospel intensity and a wisp of the epic folk metal the crew flexed on 2006's <span style="font-style: italic;">Vytautas Swordblade</span>. 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. The future is judgment, the present is work. Some have taken No Sunlite for the Media's brand of musical remonstrance as an art-school expression of Catholic guilt. I don't hear that. I hear a whole sick crew - as pinned as quantum particles - dragging a culture into the sunlight of reason and joy. As for the house of NSFTM, their music and maps all serve the Lord.

of nsftm history:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Hellgrammite</span> appearing in the Washington Post on Record Store Day]</span></div><span style=";font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">A commonly cited symptom of the digital age is a growing desire for ‘instant gratification’ - access is faster, so is experience.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> W</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">ith so much at our fingertips we know what we want, and we want it now; when it doesn’t deliver fast enough, we </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >move on to the next option</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">This is definitely true.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">However, one of the many, many things that the digital age means for music is that not only is it easier to make music than ever (so there’s more of it than ever) but people are less limited by their medium - albums exist which take days, even weeks to listen to (literally), tunes are spread out onto dozens of tracks, suites take up entire hard drives…and on and on.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">It’s worth pointing out that most of this is ‘ambient’, or at the least, ‘instrumental’.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">But just because we </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">have</i><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">more</i><span style="font-family:verdana;"> does that mean we </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">listen more</i><span style="font-family:verdana;">?</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">Ask a friend, no, ask yourself - </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" >do you ever </span><i style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: verdana;">just</i><span style="color: rgb(255, 0,

bold;">?</span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">Many people find it boring these days, and music is more and more becoming the compliment to the activity, rather than the activity itself.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">After all, our time is precious, isn’t it?</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">We have places to be, don’t we?</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">Yes, we do.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">Yes, our time is precious.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">And what better to spend it than celebrating life and its meaning through music?</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">All the more reason for </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:verdana;" >music to cut to the chase and communicate <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">succinctly</span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;">, effectively, and in a way that respects the listener’s time.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">Hellgrammite</i><span style="font-family:verdana;"> is such music.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">Clocking in at 43 minutes, this single LP wastes no time.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">NSFTM has always fought the peripheralization of music in our lives, but never as viciously as here.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">The opening moments will serve as example.</span><br /><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:lucida

It moves to a slower, even peaceful moment as the music prepares for the next station.<br />4 Jesus meets his mother: in a sea of acoustic guitar layered with melodic humming this station is full and fitting for an entrance of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.<br />5 Simon helps Jesus carry his cross: pushing into a more electric tone than the previous two, St. Simon of Cyrene makes a choice on the Way of the Cross.<br />6 Veronica wipes the face of Jesus: as when Jesus meets Mary, the singing and humming come through as the strongest part of this station.<br />7 Jesus falls the second time: in a fashion reminiscent of the first fall, noise sounding like winds interrupts the slow note progression.<br />8 Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem: in a station where electronic noise takes the backseat for acoustic guitars and humming, “shhh” acts as a very soothing and feminine part of the Stations narrative.</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHxY3BOrM2Yp7-_1WSUSamyqEsqPm19QOcHazQR2DSaWblfq4Pp8wkgzWKIhcWk0uhYKvedAO_eSXXuso5aZjLwjI86tRRz5LgfQN_bOsSIiblWuFG-Mh1Pclq0HEdliMM8-c/s1600-h/914.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 128px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHxY3BOrM2Yp7-_1WSUSamyqEsqPm19QOcHazQR2DSaWblfq4Pp8wkgzWKIhcWk0uhYKvedAO_eSXXuso5aZjLwjI86tRRz5LgfQN_bOsSIiblWuFG-Mh1Pclq0HEdliMM8-c/s400/914.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422215657494857970" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">9 Jesus falls the third time: where the sound is the same here as both stations three and seven, this stations closes its last few seconds with computer sounds overcoming the other noise, leading directly into the following station.<br />10 Jesus is stripped of his garments: this station, which almost feels like going through space, is brief but a distinct step apart from its surrounding stations.<br />11 Jesus is nailed to the cross: in a more metal trend than any other station, the eleventh station is filed with a heavy darkness.<br />12 Jesus dies on the cross: this station has the same heaviness as its previous, but is louder and therefore even heavier. There is no timidity in this, the shortest station, arguably the central one.<br />13 Jesus is taken down from the cross: permeating the listener’s ears with a softer, calming sound. The mix of melodic music and a male voice with humming featured similarly in other tracks is a fitting sound to accompany a vivid mental image of Mary holding her Son.<br />14 Jesus is laid in the tomb: more voices come in, giving the track more singing than humming vocal resonance. Rather than fade out, this last station ends distinctly, signifying closure to the devotion honoring the Passion.</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1WWAPwrdb3JvpHelVyN6pnwShnF_VFADWuC53Vh3yOXRwdWQjhsIoXebEikr86ujc8pAWhViqR7KDzWfxyZHPQoLi7ezqck-0bE0skf4VJ9D8-iGEDDhlwwxsqTrl2qiopWXh/s1600-h/inaere.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 237px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1WWAPwrdb3JvpHelVyN6pnwShnF_VFADWuC53Vh3yOXRwdWQjhsIoXebEikr86ujc8pAWhViqR7KDzWfxyZHPQoLi7ezqck-0bE0skf4VJ9D8-iGEDDhlwwxsqTrl2qiopWXh/s400/inaere.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422215650354233746" border="0" /></a>So, listeners and fans alike, don’t you know? <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">Two comes after one</span>.

This then-college freshman never could have known how important that day would become—that fateful day when I first experienced No Sunlite For The Media through the likes of a little album called <i>Media Tricks</i>. Starting on that day, I listened to it nonstop for over two weeks. Every time I was in my room, I was jamming out to the styles of newfound friends Math, Jana, and Kelly, on headphones, mind you, so as not to bring the wrath of the others “overground who just just don’t know” real music and couldn’t, not as long as they’re still waiting for Kanye and bopping to Taylor Swift. As Math and Jana saw me as I was meandering through campus, they handed me a CD and let me pick one of their <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">silkscreened fashions</span>; they never could have known their biggest fan was just created. I, too, never could have known that with those two tools I was about to commence the greatest musical endeavor of a lifetime. I didn’t really know what to think, but I threw on the Media Tricks <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">flaming sun shirt</span>, threw in the CD, and <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">let the cacophony commence</span>.<br /></span></p><p style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_iR9oOvOu872SC2nij9lAv0kJ0T4d1zLhIaqT6a8TgDt28VdhDBQZEvJP7SmedjZsTb4BzVuVlJ-F57YkzffiNEl0aKGWtdymikgH1w2zzZhCcHSeVF9gEN4q2kkh3Su5U4XU/s1600-h/Photo+42.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 329px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_iR9oOvOu872SC2nij9lAv0kJ0T4d1zLhIaqT6a8TgDt28VdhDBQZEvJP7SmedjZsTb4BzVuVlJ-F57YkzffiNEl0aKGWtdymikgH1w2zzZhCcHSeVF9gEN4q2kkh3Su5U4XU/s400/Photo+42.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410488498410681010" border="0" /></a></span></p> <p style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><b>Within</b></span></p> <p style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:180%;">It was love at first sample—the <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);">distortion</span> of music and of the media, the breaks and the beats, the method and the Method Man.

No Sunlite's signature short attention span breaks up the track into 3 parts, each really a separate song worthy of note by themselves.

While it's tempting to notice the large gap between their best songs and the bottom of the barrel, their albums generally have a <span style="font-weight: bold;">wacky coherence</span> that means even if some tracks are sub-par, the entire experience is better than the sum of the parts. This is especially true for </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" class="il" >Dungeon</span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" > Records</span><span style="font-family:times new roman;">, which sports a large handful of killer tracks, supported by an army of creative, half baked, if interesting, underachievers.

Emphasis on rap delivery earns the album's high points and gives this release top billing. While the obvious vocal and lyrical peaks are at the beginning and at the end of the record, the production weaves the varied sounds into a coherent narrative that allows the diversity to keep things fresh. Most songs are either acoustic guitar sing-along types or lo-fi hip hop. That this album is the group's most coherent speaks of No Sunlite's ecclecticism, but the albums is indeed listenable as a whole. The album is No Sunlite's first truly consistent album, both in sound as well as lyrical content, essentially making itself a </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" >Beavers</span><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> 2.0</span>. Make that <span style="font-weight: bold;">2.5</span>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The band's <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">anti-pop theme of noncommercialism</span>, while present in previous releases, comes explicitly yet also artfully on </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" class="il" >Dungeon</span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" > Records</span><span style="font-family:times new roman;">. The production gets steadily better throughout the album, as the tone grows gradually darker and more serious. The band still falls into its own trap of song snippets and ideas instead of fully developed pieces, meaning, like their other albums, it has more than 30 tracks. Whether the band might have done better by creating two albums - one of acoustic songs and another hip hop album - is a question best not asked.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The first song, "Rhino" is an upbeat head bopper that combines the call and response camp sound with old skool rap vibe. By the end of the album, the evolution in tone is especially obvious if compared to this upbeat track. The next song "Why Do You Break Yr Legs", also a live staple, continues in the same vein. While those songs became the most recognizable tunes on the album, oddly, the album's best song comes next. The old-timey "In the Morning" is the only album track without obvious hip hop or camp influences. There is not another Josh track in the No Sunlite catalog that is so good as this <span style="font-weight: bold;">left-field classic</span> with uplifting and positive lyrics.</span><br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100" width="300"><param name="movie" value="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=574173847/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="allowNetworking" value="always"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=574173847/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="always" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="100" width="300"></embed><noembed>&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://nsftm.bandcamp.com/track/in-thee-morning"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;In Thee Morning by No Sunlite for the Media&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;</noembed></object><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The album's first apex continues with "Vanity," where Jana and Math intertwine gorgeous angelic vocals and desperate rap lyrics taken straight from the book of <span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">Ecclesiastes</span>.

In the first of several truly bizarre genius cuts on the album, the band combines <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">hip hop</span> with <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Black Sabbath</span> and references <span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);">Merzbow</span>.

The <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">havoc</span> of the production and a touch of Ozzy in the chorus distract from lyrics like "blue screens can't make your matter more gray." Such message-driven writing become more obvious in the next camp song, the live favorite "Point of the Song." However, the album has already begun its mid-record slump. Jana's hook and focused lyrics on "Demons" saves an otherwise weak track and keeps the album moving as it continues to alternate back and forth between the two styles.<br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100" width="300"><param name="movie" value="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=970164125/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="allowNetworking" value="always"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=970164125/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="always" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="100" width="300"></embed><noembed>&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://nsftm.bandcamp.com/track/its-either-thee-media-or-thee-bullet"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;It's Either thee Media or thee Bullet by No Sunlite for the Media&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;</noembed></object><br />While many second-string verses in the album's middle sometimes get tedious, other high points include the catchy yet nonsensical "Cost" and the conversely weighty and epic standout "It's Either thee Media or thee Bullet," another candidate for best track on</span><span class="il" style="font-family:times new roman;"> <span style="font-style: italic;">Dungeon</span></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" > Records</span><span style="font-family:times new roman;">.

The upbeat nature continues on to the hip hop with "No Sunlite in</span><span style="font-family:times new roman;"> Northern Virginia" where a funny sample allows NSFTM to creatively attempt to "say new things with old words." Unfortunately, as in the middle, the album then starts to revert to the genre alternation and then begins an even deeper slump. "Medical Emergency" is actually the</span><span style="font-family:times new roman;"> first album track to make successful use of a handful of mediocre MC's by passing the mic between the lines, but things don't begin to truly rebound until, aided by electric guitar, "The Whack System" infuses new energy again.

One auspicious Thursday night, I was standing in line to get food, when I noticed Math (this funny kid from choir) wearing a tee that said “No Sunlite for the Media” on its back. Tilting my head in full-on stupefaction, I soon spotted another person with a shirt that said, “<span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Who’s in Charge</span>?” with a picture of a rhino on it. The back of that shirt said “No Sunlite for the Media” too! Is this some sort of inside joke? I wondered. No it wasn’t.</span><br /></div></div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family:arial;">I actually hadn’t really listened to any No Sunlite songs until after I’d kind of started singing with 'em. I got a Rhino shirt (pictured below) and a copy of <span style="font-style: italic;">Dungeon Records</span> (NSFTM’s latest CD circa Fall 2006) from Math one day, after recording “Rain” (later to become one of <span style="font-style: italic;">Media Tricks</span>' "Stations") in Bushnell Hall, and I rushed back to my dorm to give the CD a good listenin’ to.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"> </span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2a6SdOmCBmjgQjYWmh7OhM2RtM4acEIdJMCuIHZCu34SZFgNBP8bYyIP-kepk4VfyqMkMC0V5vIonOn12f-0aWrpkkM4RpmHE43AI5DzXMgP9OOKj2awazmeqMjwc1ClgZVkX/s1600-h/dr+essay+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2a6SdOmCBmjgQjYWmh7OhM2RtM4acEIdJMCuIHZCu34SZFgNBP8bYyIP-kepk4VfyqMkMC0V5vIonOn12f-0aWrpkkM4RpmHE43AI5DzXMgP9OOKj2awazmeqMjwc1ClgZVkX/s400/dr+essay+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403416982395775330" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">[Being in charge is fun!]</span></span> </div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family:arial;">“Rhino” started playin and poundin to get out of my boombox, and I wondered how the band had inserted all those kooky intro sounds. The next time I went home, I played the CD for my dad and he said “I like em. They sound kinda like <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);">Zappa</span> and kinda like <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">Beck</span>.” I guessed that was sorta accurate. </span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100" width="300"><param name="movie" value="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=2857066117/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="allowNetworking" value="always"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=2857066117/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="always" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="100" width="300"></embed><noembed>&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://nsftm.bandcamp.com/track/rhino-2"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Rhino by No Sunlite for the Media&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;</noembed></object><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Dungeon</span> marked the beginning of a more organized sound (not to mention packaging) for NSFTM. Moving a notch even <span style="font-weight: bold;">further away from pure noise</span> and moving a good bit closer to the ladiez, <span style="font-style: italic;">Dungeon</span> offers more melodic tunes like “Vanity.” (Maybe the most melodic NSFTM song at this point in the history lesson?) The first time I heard that song, I had to declare, “I love Jana’s voice.” And I stand by it. I think this was her first album with the band? Instantly helped with the folk-style appeal, which she has down to a science. Another prominent lady featured in the album is none other than L!z Horne, herself – NSFTM-er for life. Tellin people not to go to bed and whatnot. <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">No time fer sleepin when yer delving into the underground!</span> With these two ladiez giving the band a more maternal vocal vibe, how could NSFTM’s steering go awry with their pro-life messages and feminist pumpin?!<br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100" width="300"><param name="movie" value="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=4258740275/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="allowNetworking" value="always"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=4258740275/size=grande/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="always" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="100" width="300"></embed><noembed>&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://nsftm.bandcamp.com/track/vanity"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Vanity by No Sunlite for the Media&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;</noembed></object><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Also, I had no idea Catholic ideas could translate into RAP HOOKS (I mean, ok I’ve heard of Father Stan, but girl please).

But, <span style="font-style: italic;">Dungeon</span> also/mostly delves deeper into the underground, exposin’ hos n’ sendin positive messages.

No, that’s woman-hating!” You go girl.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />“It’s Either Thee Media or Thee Bullet” offers a clean sound (not to mention Malcolm X) and a forward march for the Medians in getting those issues they care about out of the underground n’ heard. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Innovative style</span> is what’s up. “Straight from the Underground” is hip hop at its finest. “Thirst” winds the album down, lengthy-style with a soothing-ness to it that still makes you wanna jump up and fight.
