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!

Childhood - Californian Light

Joel Frieders | April 28, 2017
My life has been completely insane lately. Not that yours hasn't been, but I'm celebrating being able to actually kinda sorta see for the first time in a few weeks. I will say one thing I never thought I'd say: Cataracts at 37 is some shit bros.  The first...

People from Indiana have weird hangups with death and gore and blood and murder and shit, yea? *rubs face with rag moistened with turpentine* THIS BEAT IS FUCKING DISGUSTING THO. Cas One is one of my best internet friends. We don't...

Gardens - Violent Light

Joel Frieders | April 12, 2017
Something about a perfectly recorded guitar by itself that gets me comfortable. Gardens are like the fucking sweatpants of chill rock shits, and I'm comf as fuuuuuuuuuuck righ meow. This is the type of shit you put on when you realize you're...

Open Mike Eagle - Dark Comedy Late Show

Joel Frieders | April 11, 2017
Open Mike Eagle makes me hard exhale out of my nose holes. Half of the exhale is "holy shit he's right, we're so fucked", the other half is embarassment. I'm embarassed by how we've arrived at whatever the fuck 2017 is.  Even the creative...

Between The Rain - Mudroom

Joel Frieders | April 7, 2017
I haven't been able to write about music for fucking weeks. Ain't none of your bidness why, but holy fuck I needed something like Between The Rain to snap me out of it. I thought this was going to suck based solely on the fact that it's a...

One Song: David Pritchard - An Admission of Guilt

Joel Frieders | March 14, 2017
Knowing absolutely nothing about David Pritchard, nor his 1977 album Nocturnal Earthworm Stew, I will admit to being completely fucking mesmerized by his track "An Admission of Guilt". I spent the better part of last week...

One Song: Hanging Valleys - Brother

Joel Frieders | March 10, 2017
Hit play on this song and then imagine me emerging, almost birthing, naked and lumpy, and fully coated with a thick transparent mucous, out of a large blooming flower. As I stand, I shake my hips to and fro, whipping the clear, sticky goop from my thighs to...

One Song: Dead Sea - 8.50

Joel Frieders | February 23, 2017
I clicked play on this sumbitch this morning after my kids got on the bus. It's been unseasonably warm, the windows are still all dew-ey, the sun was coming up to my right, and I'm only wearing my trademark hoodie and jeans as I drive myself to work.  Simply...

Leaf House - Shiny People

Joel Frieders | February 21, 2017
WHO IS THIS?!?! It's like I'm sitting on someone else's leather couch, in the nude, sweating my ass off, but I kind of like it. Is this supposed to make me feel so uncomfortably erotic? "Shiny People" indeed! Leaf House sounds like a...

One Song: my education - Open Marriages

Joel Frieders | February 21, 2017
My post rock appetite runs deep. Runs deep. So deep. So deep. {insert comment about how it puts my butt to sleep, but in a good way and not at all sexual} *pops hip* When my thrusting hip hop fists and pulsating electronic dance hips need a rest, I can always...
