Here, Travis Stewart (better known as Machinedrum) tries his hand at “All Apologies”, resulting in a tweaked-out, beautiful mess. Machinedrum releases stuff on Merck Records, as well as his own Normrex label, and can be seen out and about doing shows with the likes of Lazer Sword, Megasoid, Jimmy Edgar, etc. The Nerdvana 7″ also features covers from Mixel Pixel, Yip-Yip, The Show Is The Rainbow, Pataphysics and Low Red Center. Right now, it is only available for purchase via the Yip-Yip Myspace page, but Mental Monkey will have more copies up for sale soon. Did I mention that the 7″ comes on some awesome-looking clear blue vinyl?
