New full length tape from New York's Luke "Axl" Perry. Retro TV commercial psychedelic synth pop styled after 90s teen dramas. Listening to this tape feels like watching reruns of "Saved By the Bell" and "90210" early on a saturday morning while your brain starts shorting out from eating too much sugar with your breakfast cereal. Tapes packaged in teen idol trapper-keeper design with hot pink shells sporting Krusty the Clown and Luke Perry himself as Sideshow Bob.

This 75 minute split tape is essentially a full album per side. "I Can't Walk" by Russian Tsarlag features more of Carlos Gonzales mutated guitar pop similar to that heard on the recent "Open Casket" and "Community Death Tube" LPs. Tslarlag sounds so incredibly wasted that he can barely string a song together, but somehow he manages to and it becomes something entirely new and amazing in the process. These woozy wierdo-pop tunes will burrow their way deep into the recess of your brain and swim around until you catch yourself humming one of them in line at the post office.

Local Bloomington free improv group (d)(b)(h) gives us "I Can't Think". (d)(b)(h) live are never the same more than once. I witnessed them play once in the bathroom of a house, one member was shaving at the sink, the other stripping and changing his clothes in the bathtub and Justin Rhody, the ringmaster of the group, was sitting on the toilet with his pants around his ankles reading a playboy all while a strange prepared tape played in the background. This tape showcases their free form, improvised, noise-skronk jams at a breakneck place. Sometimes these songs remind me of an injured animal wildly flailing around with their last breath, but in a good way.
