J.J. Krupert Top 13 Countdown – December ’10 #3: “The Hair Song” by Black Mountain


I am not sure what to say about Black Mountain other than they are the fucking best, and their album from last year – Wilderness Heart – is perfect if you are the type who liked Queens of the Stone Age or Black Sabbath from back in the day or just really anything thick and sludgy, yet sparkled up a little bit with some clean ass modern touches. It’s good shit. The problem I’m having is I took a muscle relaxer about an hour ago and I really just want to fall out. What I should do is seize this natural opportunity, even though I want to try to whip out a few more nonsense blurbs for the website, and cut out the lights, flame up a couple tea candles, plug in the headphones and crank them loud enough to make the ringing in my ears feel even more constant than ever, and vibe to the Black Mountain.
Problem is I made a playlist earlier tonight and already have the headphones on, and this rip I found on the internet of Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All played at 33 rpm from a 45 rpm original is already on play, and I’m having a hard time thinking about not listening to this. It is a shame there is no one there to do high quality screwed and chopped mixes of stoner rock, because it’s two great tastes that would most likely taste great together. I don’t think most famous screw DJs left have an ear for shitty dirtbag rock-n-roll music. Could you imagine the crisp production of And Justice For All all slopped up and syrupped out? I mean fuck, I’ve pitch shifted some Black Sabbath and it is fucking immense. So perhaps I should use this time of wavy-headedness and bust open the Audacity and “remix” the Black Mountain CD instead, all for myself, fuck you. And I think that’s what I’m gonna do. Good night.
