5. Song: Army of Me , Artist: Liars , Album: Stereogum Presents... Enjoyed: A Tribute To Björk's Post (Stereogum)

• Following in the footsteps of prior Stereogum-curated tribute albums (see Drive XV: A Tribute to R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People and OKX: A Tribute to Radiohead's OK Computer) comes this track-by-track cover of Björk's Post, which, along with Liars, features contributions from Dirty Projectors ("Hyperballad"), Xiu Xiu ("Isobel"), Atlas Sound ("Headphones"), No Age ("It's Oh So Quiet (Alternate Take)"), and others. This one starts off with the sound of a shotgun loading before sickeningly lurching along at half speed, all distorted and compressed to hell, with Angus Andrews' croon floating over the top. Brings to mind the stuff from the 2004 EP There's Always Room On the Broom and the split with Oneida.

Also features Remora, The Land of Nod, Jessica Bailiff, Max Soren, Rivulets, Rollerball, and more, with cover art taken from a bunch of WWII photos snapped by the compiler's great uncle.

2. Song: Mantra 3 , Artist: Merzbow , Album: Merzbuddha (Important)
3. Song: In the Multi-Purpose Room , Artist: East West Blast Test , Album: Popular Music for Unpopular People (Ipecac)

• 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)

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

Episode #15 - They Only Come Out at Night

1. Song: Dark Night , Artist: The Blasters , Album: From Dusk Till Dawn (Sony)
2. Song: Loose , Artist: Boris , Album: Dronevil: Final (Inoxia)
3. Song: Bela Lugosi's Dead , Artist: Bauhaus , Album: Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground (Rhino)

• Four-disc boxed set on the excellent Rhino label. Also includes tracks by Dinosaur Jr., Throbbing Gristle, R.E.M., Depeche Mode, Ministry, Bad Brains, Jane's Addiction, Cocteau Twins, Butthole Surfers, Dead Kennedys, Mission of Burma, New Order, Black Flag, and many more.

4. Song: If You're a Wizard, Then Why Do You Wear Glasses? , Artist: Liars , Album: They Were Wrong, So We Drowned (Mute)
5. Song: Greasy Spoon , Artist: Throbbing Gristle , Album: Part Two: Endless Not (Mute)

• First album from Throbbing Gristle in over 20 years. The new album is a mixed affair, akin more to 20 Jazz Funk Greats than any of the Report albums. Most noticeable are the clean production values and Genesis P-Orridge's attempts to actually sing, where he falls flat most of the time, except on "Lyre Liar". All in all, kind of so-so; I'm just glad it's not an absolute stinkbomb, although the cover art is terrible. Tracks like this one, along with the opener "Vow of Silence", are great though.

6. Song: Lynch , Artist: Dälek , Album: Abandoned Language (Ipecac)
7. Song: Danse Macabre , Artist: Celtic Frost , Album: Morbid Tales (Metal Blade)
8. Song: The Crossing , Artist: Amps for Christ , Album: Every Eleven Seconds (5 Rue Christine) 9: Song: Lily, Henry, and The Willow Trees , Artist: Marissa Nadler , Album: The Saga of Mayflower May (Eclipse)
