Remember on the last album release post, when I said this thing was coming out in a few days?  Yeah, well… we reside in a world in which thirty or so still counts as a few.  Roll with it.  You have no choice in the matter.  ANYWAY…

The perpetually delayed mythical Skrow!Media compilation has finally come to light!  This satisfyingly diverse collection boasts 27 tracks by alumni and friends of Skrow!, clocking in at almost an hour and 45 minutes of semi-organized disturbances in air pressure.  Enjoy them with headphones and/or speakers, alone and/or with friends, drugs and/or no drugs.  Try it however you like!  See the included graphics for useless information about the songs and artists!  Use bombs wisely!

Captain Tortilla - Ninjanomics

Captain Tortilla - Ninjanomics

Okay, I swear I’m not going to turn this place into a blog or any of that kind of shit, but this is too awesome and I’ve been enjoying it way too much lately to not give it some props.  I’m gonna have to make this quick anyway, there are shuriken flying everywhere and one of them is bound to hit my laptop display ere long.

On this first full-length effort from the esteemed Captain, he pays exceptional tribute to some obvious Tecmo and Konami influences while putting his own indelible stamp on the entire half hour duration.  Catchy and extremely addictive, with dangerously hummable melodies interwoven through spectacular bliprock grooves that create an authentic NES action atmosphere laced with hints of metal, progressive rock, early 90s hip hop, blues and funk.  Tracks like “Ninja Pie,” “Into Progress,” and “07″ are perfectly capable of slicing your face off if you’re not careful.  The capstone to the collection, however, is the brilliant Zappa cover, flawlessly arranged within the limitations of the VRC6 chip.

Ninjanomics leads me through twelve different worlds of drama, mayhem and awesomeness, each one full to the brim with salient men in masked jumpsuits swinging cleaving steel in my general direction with intent to separate my head from my body, which would seem like a generally negative thing if not for how awesome it is when ninjas decapitate people.  It is Dennis Mott’s magnum opus, and if I were me (which I am), I wouldn’t miss it.  And I haven’t, as you can tell from the way I’m telling you how much it rocks.  Which means that you shouldn’t miss it either.  Unless you’re afraid of losing your head.
