Laser Focus #3: Orange Milk
1.6.14 by Tabs Out

Can I be real with you? I mean really real for a second. In the ever-expanding universe of cassette labels Orange Milk is the best thing going. Their visual work is staggering, an homage to 80’s video game artwork and 90’s virtual reality landscapes. Their artist roster is the most unique and exciting out there, packed with names you’ve never heard before creating sounds you’ve never heard before. The execution of bringing those together makes for mind boggling cassettes.

We talked with Seth Graham and Keith Rankin, the dudes behind the label, about how things got started and where they are going. We talked about their duo Cream Juice and what they like and hate about experimental music. And poop. We talked a lot about poop.

And, of course, we played some tapes:

– Cream Juice “Man Feelings”
– Developer / Quilt split
– Ventla “Smuggled”
– Jerry Paper “International Man Of Misery”
– Homeowner “Themes From 172”
– Foodman “Shokuhin”

Puppy Pregnancy Syndrome Could Win Ya Some Tapes
12.11.13 by Mike Haley

Puppy Pregnancy Syndrome is a psychosomatic illness in humans brought on by mass hysteria. People suffering from this condition believe that shortly after being bitten by a dog, puppies are conceived within their abdomen. This is said to be especially likely if the dog is sexually excited at the time of the attack. Victims are said to bark like dogs, and have reported being able to see the puppies inside them when looking at water, or hear them growing in their abdomen. It is believed that the victims will eventually die – especially men, who will give birth to their puppies through the penis.
