2. Song: Warborn , Artist: The Black Dahlia Murder , Album: Nocturnal (Metal Blade)
3. Song: Belülről Pusztít , Artist: Sunn O))) , Album: Oracle (Southern Lord)

• Hungarian for "destroys from the inside", "Belülről Pusztít" is from the Oracle EP, which was sold during the band's 2007 Pacific Rim tour and on the Southern Lord West Coast 777 tour. Joe Preston (Earth, Melvins, Thrones) provides the jackhammer (yes, jackhammer) on this track, although it sounds more like a drawbridge being raised and lowered, or someone being stretched out on a rack, which, coupled with the awesome album art, fits the mood of the track perfectly. These guys never cease to amaze me. The other track on the disc (the version sold at shows has an extra disc with a 45-minute live track from 2005 called "HeliO)))Sophist"), "Orakulum" is not as good but still killer.

8. Song: Merzfrog473 , Artist: Pita , Album: Merzbow - Frog: Remixed and Revisited (Misanthropic Agenda)

2. Song: Jesse , Artist: Scott Walker, Album: The Drift (4AD)

• This is really scary stuff, a combination of baroque pop and what Roy Orbison would sound like if he were from the 7th level of Hell. Totally different stuff from his early career and his material on The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou soundtrack. Can't wait for the documentary chronicling his career, 30th Century Man (which is currently only screening in the U.K.), to hit stateside at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Features a behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Drift, as well as interviews with Brian Eno, Jarvis Cocker, Radiohead, Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz), David Bowie, Sting, and more.
