Andrzej Korzyński

Last night, i re-watched Polish film director Andrzej Żuławski's 1981 film "Possession" on Shudder.  It's the first time i've seen it in over a decade, and it still hits just as hard.  If you've never seen the film, or even if you have, it's definitely worth a watch.  Immediately following the movie, i then discovered that the good folks over at Finders Keepers Records, after years of work, are finally set to release the soundtrack to another one of Żuławski's films, 1972's "Diabeł" or "The Devil."  Like "Possession," it's also a challenging and brilliant movie, and also like "Possession," it finds the director working with composer Andrzej Korzyński for the film's score.  And it's rad as hell, a mix of psychedelia, jazz, and horror.  I'm stoked about this release.  Listen to "The Devil" below and pre-order the record here, out later this month.

The Devil

The Devil is the project of Atlanta hip-hop producer Derek Schklar, and his new mixtape "Violence," is a dark, nasty, awful thing.  But it's captivating.  The album strings along bits of rap verse, radio samples of Johnny Cash, Dillinger Escape Plan, and others, and snips and clips from news reports about violence and murder, from Charles Whitman climbing the UT tower to shoot strangers to the more recent mall shooting in Maryland with a complete abandonment of structure.  It's ugly.  It's foul.  But it's worth listening to.  And it's aptly named.  You can download it for free here, and listen to "KILL RADIO KILL / THE RIDE" below.
