Another week, another Mercury music section to read after you play Grand Theft Auto IV for over 25 hours in a row. I hope you finally rescued the princess from that mean ‘ole Bowser. Same game, right?

Ellen Allien - Caress

DON’T GO INTO THE WOODS! Unless, of course, you want to end up as a member of Dark Meat. That’s how they get you: One minute you are leisurely on a bird-watching excursion, and the next minute you are in a crazy 17-member psychrock band, painting your body, living in tress, and stirring the commune’s compost pile.
MP3:
Dark Meat - Freedom Ritual

Minus the Bear have this post-punk-pop (not to be confused with post-pop-punk) thing down. Remember that time they played Paris Theatre? God, that place was terrible.
MP3:
Minus the Bear - Knights

Know who had a body of water? This guy. Remember when he was all in the pool, and then he came out and killed people and shit? Think you’re alone? Think again. Ugh, why can’t I go one week without talking about that damn movie? Oh, we wrote something about a band called Bodies of Water this week, they’re really good.
MP3:
Bodies of Water - I Guess We’ll Forget the Sound, I Guess, I Guess

End Hits: Why won’t someone buy us that Hollow Man soundtrack?
