So let's get right to it: this cassette is weird. <span style="font-style: italic;">Flight</span> songs have always been grimey, distorted, and lo-fi, but they've never been as fucked-with as on this release. It basically sounds like they took the old songs and slowed them down to 33 1/3, but the effect really works. Creeping, smoked-out, other-worldly jams with some truly insane vocals. Definitely check this out:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?vcckvdak241lxd4">Flight - Mi$$i$$ippi Lean c18 [2010]</a><br /><br />Label: <a href="http://www.batheticrecords.com/">Bathetic Records</a><br />Sites: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/inflighttunes">Myspace</a>/ <a href="http://twitter.com/FLIGHTTUNES">Twitter</a>Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15065627416946020404noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359630111117403733.post-3929691623816478332010-08-24T22:11:00.003-04:002010-08-25T15:13:30.652-04:00Holy Cobras<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMaXcLfURvADTeTaGtQJhLoCIBQbCEWpmIVKdgU_UQTbCdACVO4rtWeekGEFMdk-tRfVD9BjYlxgQVWg12UqGLbJRhYP3PiiusP2eXzZvfoiqcwF87-aZx6RyAb08-_UgPso11PBjLytk/s1600/holycobras.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 451px; height: 315px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMaXcLfURvADTeTaGtQJhLoCIBQbCEWpmIVKdgU_UQTbCdACVO4rtWeekGEFMdk-tRfVD9BjYlxgQVWg12UqGLbJRhYP3PiiusP2eXzZvfoiqcwF87-aZx6RyAb08-_UgPso11PBjLytk/s400/holycobras.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509164344976395666" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">A</span></span>s far as emphatic interjections go, some of our favorites over here at <span style="font-style: italic;">WF </span>include: <span style="font-style: italic;">egads</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">yuck</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">gah</span>, and <span style="font-style: italic;">whups!</span> Well now we can add <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Holy Cobras</span> to that very esteemed and important list.

The A side title track finds them at their noodliest, relying heavier on a melody more closely-picked, and catchier, than anything you've heard them do before.
