Bright days are great for picnics, yard work, and being incinerated.

So... Back in the day, Kurbside used to carry around a handheld cassette recorder and have it randomly rolling when we'd be out on various adventures. This song is formed around a particular cassette excerpt from a night where we encountered and befriended an exceptionally drunk diner patron who initially thought us to be an easy mark.

Produced, written and recorded by Trash & Kurb. 

Our homage to Hirokazu Tanaka and one of the most influential and loved games of all time: METROID!

We love 8-bit and lo-fi stuff, so we hooked up an original Nintendo and sampled the original Metroid start screen music. It was always  one of the most ominous and epic sounding scores from back then. Also we felt that the sci-fi angle really fit with us well.

We added some bass-heavy drum elements, combined with commodore 64 sounds and scratching behind it, and the result was something both hilarious AND badass. The "blow him to pieces" scratch actually comes from the Star Wars record storybook "Droid World", which—in itself—is pretty rare and cool, so crate diggers take note.

Anyhow... We hope this both takes you back to a good, nostalgic  place, and gets your head nodding. 

Much love and respect to Hirokazu Tanaka. Thanks for the joy you brought by adding so much more than graphics alone ever could to a legendary gaming experience. We hope this is received in the manner in which it was intended. 

And as always... Wack MC's.... We'll blow you to pieces!

Blow Him to Pieces

Blow Him to Pieces (Metroid mix) | hip-hop

Some spaced-out hip-hop using samples from the 1969 moon landing as an allegory for the creative process... That's what hip-hop fans like, right?... Allegories?...

I feel like a phantom—impossible to capture.
Is that good or bad?

Nothing like some alt-rock with a bass drop!
Kurbside: Drum and Bass
T.R.Ash: Guitar and Vocals

LYRICS: 

Feeling like a jarred amphibian,
Yearning for my caterpillar chrysalis,
Sunday-strolling through the fray,
Guillotine will have its way

I feel like a phantom,
Impossible to capture

Phantom phaser,
Phantom phaser

Desperately innovating,
Process, refine hurried pacing,
Watch them start to scramble,
Equilibrium dismantled

I feel like a phantom,
Impossible to capture

Phantom phaser,
Phantom phaser

Ohh...

No, you'll never catch me now,
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no...

I feel like a phantom,
Impossible to capture

Phantom phaser,
Phantom phaser

Phantom Phaser

Phantom Phaser | alt-rock

A fun little dance number we call Shake the Ground. Get up and move. DO IT! It's likely that I can wing you with a beer bottle from on stage... depending on how many I've had... and then make a weepy video apology on insta after my hangover subsides. Anyhow... Yeah, so... this is us NOT being weirdos.

Shake the Ground

Shake The Ground | hip-hop

Is it hip-hop? Is it some kind of vibe song? IDK. We were feeling weird. Sooo..... Yes... Yes it is.

Mixed Drink

Mixed Drink | hip-hop/alternative

Some boombap full of horror and sci-fi references

I'm the Silhouette

I'm The Silhouette | hip-hop

Cloud of My Sleep | acoustic

Up  & Down

1/2 of Trash&Kurb. An amalgamation of influences and genres. My sonic refrigerator art reflects that. Hip-hop, alt-rock, acoustic singer/songwriter... Just making noise for the sweet release of it. Mostly 1-Player these days, but 2+ Players is my favorite.
