looks like the killer buds have been busy.  there are 5 new albums, including three newly signed bands; heavy petting is responsible for the other two releases.  the newcomers are jer (the cat), kasiopeia, and puppy street.  this post is necessarily a long one, so don’t stop scrolling too early.

first, a video.

kasiopeia

an ambitious project that translates the visual aesthetic of beloved movies into the sound of a thousand keyboards traveling through the vast nothingness of outer space from the four corners of the universe.

jer the cat

the (now extinct) american lion was, by all accounts, the smartest cat in the history of the earth.  but jer the cat makes original music.  and he’s not extinct.  so who’s the smartest (but laziest) cat now?
downloads: adopt a pet .mov, adopt a pet .mp3, lazy cat .mov.

puppy street

the wait is finally over.  a number of bootleg copies of puppy street songs have been circulating for some time without any way of knowing if it was really puppy street or just an imposter.  with their first release they set the record straight.

heavy petting

allibaster (one of heavy petting’s alter egos) is responsible for this new album.  it does not disappoint!

this is heavy petting’s new album (3rd solo album this year).  “it’s like i’m breaking up with my brain and it’s only 20 minutes long.”

20 minutes seems to be the standard length for heavy petting albums.  “i just think it’s a good length for an album, that’s all.”
