Friendsound crew

Two guys, one purpose – post some stuff from our collections that we’ve not seen anywhere else online. We’re into lots of different stuff, from techno to post-rock to noise to psych to spoken word to industrial to kids’ records to ambient to crime jazz to the far horizon, and everything will get equal airtime. You’ll cope – just come back next week and see what else we dug up that no one else has yet.

Two tenets: i) if you can easily buy it somewhere, we don’t post it; ii) if someone else posted it recently, we don’t post it.

So yeah, oh lovely Mutant Sounds, that does mean we’re forever taking your holy name in vain. The number of times we’ve pulled something obscure out to rip, only to go, “Let’s just check MS hasn’t…” — and of course you have already posted it. We love you guys, but Grrrrrrr

And yeah, part 2, that sometimes means it looks like we’re boosting a lesser record from somebody than they deserve to be known for. If that’s the case, just remember this sacred mantra: Yes, we know… but the really great ones are available online already, if you know how to find them.

Finally, if you care, two guys: Stefan is in the UK and is grumpy sometimes. Thorsten is a German guy working in the US and is nicer and has a great sense of humour, no really. We like some of the same shit and sometimes we argue about each other’s posts till we are almost at each other with knives, thought that is kind of hard across the ocean. We try to post at least once a week, and we usually post in pairs, one suggestion each. Putting something back in, keeping it all going, doing it for the kids maaan.

We also have a Google profile. Whatever. Contact us by sticking a note in any post. They’re all moderated so we’ll pick up soon as.
