'Bike. Barista. Bullshit.' This is Terrible Music

This is a mashup! Download your free copy on Bandcamp today.

Terrible (AKA Max Schaffer) worked as bike messenger for the summer. He drank a lot of coffee. He talked to a lot of baristas. He tried to weed out the bullshit from what he had learned in college. But mostly he just made this album for his friends to dance to.

Like most things, Terrible Music started for shits and giggles and eventually grew into Bike. Barista. Bullshit. (2014), the debut LP featuring 166 sample sources in 50 minutes, all at 130 beats per minute. A project that took 19 years of listening, three months of using (and crashing) Logic, and from what we can tell, a lot of caffeine.

The 9th full-length by Kurt von Stetten is available now.

Before anyone can even begin to reflect on Broken, But Not Undone’s one year anniversary, Kurt von Stetten has released a brand new LP because he can't stop, won't stop, and clearly has way more follow through than most people. Animals (Static Motor Recordings), is the Boston solo artist’s 9th full-length record. Since 2006 von Stetten has released a full-length album every year on which he plays every instrument.
