Joel Frieders

Joel Frieders woke up three salmon streams by merely emitting a low frequency squelch out of his thyroid. We hope he continues with such impressive feats of science, because he for sure needs help in the tattoos of fruits in precarious situations category. Rob Campobasso for Athlete of the Month. If cream of tartar isn't actually creamy, then why the hell am I so meteor showered? Is it any wonder. IS IT ANY WONDAAAA!

Joel Frieders | June 20, 2012
I've already publicly sucked this dude Ambinate off. His shit is fucking ridiculously hell yeah without me even realizing he's released more music. He's already crafted some of my favorite tunes to decompress alongside, but his latest EP...

Joel Frieders | April 24, 2012

The Hudson Branch - World Kid

Joel Frieders | April 12, 2012
Over the past few years my tastes have matured, fermented, been racked to a secondary and been allowed to bottle carbonate. That being said, I still love me some music that makes me feel like I'm riding in the back of a pickup truck with my imaginary flowing...

Our Interview with Blockhead - Most of my friends are pieces of shet

Joel Frieders | April 10, 2012
One of the first albums I ever repeatedly smoked pot to, was made by Blockhead. One of the first CDs I ever burned for a girl who I smoked pot with, was made by Blockhead. One of the first times I ever escaped from a pedofile...

Blockhead - Interludes After Midnight

Joel Frieders | April 9, 2012
Blockhead is, in an innocently perverted way, one of my musical benchmarks. Why is this perverted? Well, when I was discussing who Blockhead was with a friend of mine, I called him my Brooke Banner of instrumental music. Who...

Laugh at What I Love: 30 Seconds To Mars

Joel Frieders | April 5, 2012

If These Trees Could Talk - Red Forest

Joel Frieders | March 20, 2012
I used to think I was limited by my own imagination. Like, whatever stories I read in books or watched on television were always going to be better than anything I could ever come up with in my own pile of brainz. But I see shit. Not like I see members of my...

Prof - King Gampo

Joel Frieders | March 9, 2012
I've had this CD in my car stereo since the night I got it. It was the night of the Atmosphere, Blueprint, Prof and Evidence show at the Metro last August. I missed Prof's set, but I kept the disc his manager/table guy handed...
