		<description><![CDATA[
Forget it, I&#8217;m out.
I&#8217;ve started three other articles since that Zed review below and they, like that review, all sucked, so I&#8217;m punching out early for the weekend. It&#8217;s a beautiful day anyway, so I&#8217;m going to go try and enjoy it. Thanks to the over 1,200 people who came here yesterday, topping even Wednesday&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zed Make Sure the Lie Doesn&#8217;t Go Hungry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fact is this: I like unsigned bands. Even if I’m not 100 percent into the music, I appreciate that a group of people are willing to come together for a common artistic cause and execute a singular idea with little to no hope of fiscal recompense. So when I get a CD in gorgeous [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arc of Ascent&#8217;s Circle of the Sun Attains Inner Enlightenment through Massive Riffage, Feels Like Sharing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was clear from the last Lamp of the Universe record, Acid Mantra, that Kiwi psychedelicist Craig Williamson was looking to do something a little more structured. Williamson, who cut his riffing teeth playing in underrated head rockers Datura, emerges from the cosmic ether now as bassist/vocalist/etc. in the trio Arc of Ascent, which continues [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rumor Has it Nebula Broke Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know nothin&#8217; about nothin&#8217;, but Brooklyn Vegan&#8217;s down at SXSW in Austin, TX, this week, and according to them, Nebula has broken up. Here&#8217;s what they had to say about it:
Tee Pee band Nebula broke up, thus changing their plan to head to Austin to play five shows. Naturally one of those shows [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get Your Free When the Deadbolt Breaks Album While Infinite Supplies Last</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Connecticut darkened self-sustaining metallers When the Deadbolt Breaks have announced a partnership with the recently-launched FuzzTown Records. The now-four-piece outfit is responsible for some seriously deranged, murderous, brutally slow doom, and as much as I&#8217;d like to give the album a review, ethics and the fact that I sing vocals on the track &#8220;As Flies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buried Treasure: The International Market and the Damn Dirty Apes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always try to pay attention to international exchange rates. Aside from being interested in the political implications thereof, it&#8217;s interesting to see what our tiny pieces of paper are worth compared to everyone else&#8217;s tiny pieces of paper. Occasionally you can get a bargain too, if you play your cards right.
As of today, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Numbers: In the 1,000+ Club</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Special thanks goes to out Blabbermouth for posting snippets of the Bobby Liebling interview below. With their support (and the support of the sundry news sites that feed from them like birds on the backs of rhinos), The Obelisk was able yesterday to surpass 1,000 page views in a single day for the first time.

		<title>Brant Bjork: In Communion with the Immortals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the opening track of his ninth solo album, Gods and Goddesses, Brant Bjork sings, “What you’re hearing is exactly what was heard, yeah.” The former Kyuss and Fu Manchu drummer and songwriting force behind the short-lived Ché project isn’t wrong either; like each of his records since 1999’s debut, Jalamanta, Gods and Goddesses has [...]]]></description>

		<title>EXCLUSIVE Interview with Bobby Liebling of Pentagram: The Voice of the Head &#8216;Ram</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To quote legendary Pentagram frontman Bobby Liebling, speaking about himself, &#8220;I’m one of the original dinosaurs that made it through the ice age.&#8221;
It doesn&#8217;t really matter that the dinosaurs died millions of years before the last ice age, because Bobby&#8217;s right anyway. Not only for a rock and roller, but for any human being at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frydee Khanate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Because things have been discouragingly slow around here this week, and because it&#8217;s pissing-rain miserable outside, I&#8217;ve decided to cap off the week with Khanate, who, during their time together, were likewise slow and miserable. Enjoy the above shortened version of &#8220;Dead&#8221; from the 2003 Things Viral album, complete with the visual accompaniment of a [...]]]></description>
