Welcome to Salt for Slugs On-line Experience Verison 2.3. With the unholy trinity of Paul, Ran, and a computer by the name of 3d-200, we hope we have fashioned a new kind of website. We are hoping to achieve a fully-interactive experience of all things slugly.
We hope you take the time to read some of our older issues dating back to a time when the Slug hung around copier machines, drank strong wine, and the work reflects it.
But since it is the year 2-double 0-1, we also would just be peachy proud if you like our Flash toys and Shockwave game fiascos. So won't you help Burt Cocaine in his search for the real in this unreal world?
Okay monkey boy, I've been typing away on code for days now and it's really starting to come together. Things are definitely looking on the positive side of the shining cloud of clown death. Yes, clown death.
Introducing the first release by Austin’s own Fivehead, the phenomenal four-piece song machine that just started rolling not too long ago. If you like melodic rock with a variety of tempos and great lyrics (i.e.: track two, “dumb irish poet”), then you’ll love Fivehead. This four-song 7” starts out with a really good song, an upbeat track entitled, “falling out” and then slows the tempo down about five notches for the singy, Irish folk style song about stuff like “tears that taste like whiskey.” The B-side brings up the energy a little with two more tracks that are reminiscent of Pavement. I like the last song, “better part of the year”, a punchy acoustic song that slowly builds itself up and quickly tears itself down. This is a good 7” and a solid first release for Fivehead.
