20+ Boris Albums

After the ole ball dropped on New Years, I half-heartedly made one of my resolutions to be to cut down on the downloading. The breaking point was the 30-disc Stax Singles box set I picked up off Oink as my account was slowly trinkling towards death last December, and I've sadly lost count of how many gigs of untouched music that lurks on my external hard drive. Such is the plight of the obsessed.

The most flagrant contributors to my habit are the bands that release 30 or so CDs/CD-Rs/tapes/records every year, mostly those in the noise/psych underground. And as much as I want to hear John Olson and crew's Wednesday evening practice session on a limited edition lathe cut picture disc 7", a man cannot live on Scoobie Snacks alone.

Nonetheless, one of the most consistent bands going right now that suffer from record leakage is Boris. Last year's Pink was a lovely grab-bag of the styles and genres the Japanese trio have dipped in and out of since their birth, and rightly catapulted them into the same notoriety as Sunn0))) and even kid-tested, mother-approved Wolf Eyes.

Luckily, someone at Hipinion.com has done all the dirty work of digging up a huge chunk of their albums and posting them in a thread. Not sure how long the links will last, but it's worth a shot...
