11. Song: Jane Doe , Artist: Converge , Album: Jane Doe (Equal Vision)

• Great, epic track off of what (I think) is the best Converge album, from the opening salvo of "Concubine/Fault and Fracture", to "Homewrecker" to what sounds like two jaguars fighting on "Phoenix In Flames", to this, the final track, there isn't a dull spot on this album.

3. Song: - , Artist: Nurse With Wound , Album: Chance Meeting On a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella (United Diaries)
4. Song: La Booly Boo , Artist: Eric Copeland , Album: Hermaphrodite (Paw Tracks)

• The newest album from Eric Copeland (Black Dice, Terrestrial Tones) sounds like a mix between Terrestrial Tones' Dead Drunk, Animal Collective's poppier material (think Peacebone EP), and Black Dice's stuff just as they were transitioning from their hardcore roots into more avant territory (Miles of Smiles, Creature Comforts). This is one of the more drone-oriented tracks.

9. Song: Not Here / Not Now , Artist: Angels of Light , Album: We Are Him (Young God)

• Comprised of duo Chris Dodge (No Use for a Name) and Dave Witte (Discordance Axis, Municipal Waste, Anodyne, Birds of Prey, Phantomsmasher), East West Blast Test's Popular Music for Unpopular People is a cross-country collaboration (Witte and Dodge live on separate coasts) akin to something Fantômas might put out - xylophones, death metal guitars, and this strange German spoken word track.

4. Song: The Cable Has No Name , Artist: Agata , Album: Spike (Tzadik)
5. Song: Assembler Mix , Artist: Nobukazu Takemura , Album: Ikebana: Merzbow's Amlux Rebuilt, Reused and Recycled (Important)

10. Song: Micaragua , Artist: Botch , Album: An Anthology of Dead Ends (Hydra Head)

• The perfect one-two punch (quiet to loud; the tracks flow into each other without a break) ending for Botch's last album before they broke up.
