NNA is very proud to present our second release from Canadian hero Alexander Moskos' Drainolith project. Following up 2012's "Fighting!" full length LP (Spectrum Spools), "Hysteria" reaches new levels in the Draino sound world, resulting in his most fully realized record to date. Moskos has spent years marinating solo in the cold Northern underground, cutting his chops as lead axegrinder with Montreal-based noise punks AIDS Wolf, and most recently rolling with North American all-star clan Dan'l Boone. "Hysteria" is the result of nearly two years spent in various studios with producers and fellow 'Boone brothers Nate Young (Wolf Eyes) and Neil Hagerty (Royal Trux), working diligently together to take a few steps beyond Trip Metal and extract the skeleton out of "rock", inserting it into a newer, much weirder, humanoid skin. The epicenter of this sound rests humbly on the foundation of guitar and voice, two facets of sound that Moskos has carefully cultivated through years of experimentation and digestion from a wide array of musical influences. The relaxed, loose, and energetically electric technique of guitar playing is reinforced by Drainolith's unrivaled tone, which has morphed throughout the years but now stands alone atop a mountain of shredders. It is ripe with Bluesy fuzziness and the humanity of Americana, while punctuated by the gritty stab of 80's death metal, and further rounded out with a sprinkling of EVH-esque chorus zones and free jazz adventurousness. The result is a sound that pre-dates the internet in a fabulous way. Each note seems to leave behind a glistening impression like a spot of grease on a pizza box. A tone as unique as this is only bolstered by the vocal delivery, the literal voice of the Mind of Moskos. This beautifully cold, dripping baritone is unmistakable, it's fried-yet-poetic articulation recalling a halfway point between a melting Dylan and a blazed Robert Ashley. Over-tired, over-wired, and over it. Moskos let's every word kerplunk into a mesmerizing puddle of observation, giving something as mundane as staring out the window or a Vancouver hotel foyer the poignancy of a published work. With guitar and voice at the core, the additional instrumentation on "Hysteria" is the bizarre glue that binds it all together, using the palette of electronics, keys, and haphazardly triggered beats and percussion in an intensely layered fashion to ensure maximum disorientation. The compositions are fully stacked, allowing little room for sparseness or tender moments. Tracks like "Qix" stagger forward in a deranged manner, it's elastic percussion hearkening back to purple Nike foot-pounding of 2011's "Where Are Ye Col. Leslie Groves?" cassette and the "one man band" era, for those of us fortunate enough to witness Drainolith's live experience. Other tracks like "Joy Road" burn on patiently, disintegrating piece by piece into the ether of time amid a bed of Fender Rhodes eeriness... almost like a rare Canadian B-side to the Lizard King's "An American Prayer". Blues notions are confronted by Beastie-esque guitar stabs, smeared together with repetitive, angular riff rotations and flailing synth filigree, creating a densely-layered intensity that feels like the anxiety of standing in a rat's nest of instrument cables and leaky pipe water in a moist basement. Pleasant melody is of little interest here, instead thriving on dissonance and reminding us of the OGs of post-punk, when rock met experimentation and abstraction head on, shoving a properlygreased square peg into a circular hole. While thematically cryptic, "Hysteria" drops rough clues to the heart of it's content, filled withtales of Quebec biker wars, sinking into couches, Detroit street hassles, sneaker worship, sidewalk slush, sexual desire and seasonal affect disorder. At it's heart, "Hysteria" is the product of a musician who has much love for the past, but also little interest in recreating it. It is a song cycle that reflects the complexities of our day to day world through the psyche of the modern jammer, fueled by the quintessentially Moskosian diet of caffeine and nicotine. Someone who isn't content sitting stagnant in a crowd of tradition, and who acknowledges that radical ideas are necessary to propel things into the future.

Solid interactive automatic vibrating dog ball toy
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Picked up this ITEHZTO interactive automatic vibrating dog ball for our pup and it’s a fun, engaging toy that keeps her entertained. It’s rechargeable with USB, motion-activated, and has a good vibrating/rolling action that gets her chasing and playing on her own. The durable build seems like it can handle some rough play, and it’s a nice size for indoor or outdoor use.
It lights up or vibrates when activated which adds extra excitement, especially during evening playtime. Battery life is decent and recharges quickly. Great for when she needs mental and physical stimulation without me having to throw a ball constantly.
Overall a solid interactive dog toy that does a great job keeping active dogs busy. Good value if your dog loves chasing moving/vibrating toys!

Built-in USB-C solves the power issue, but it is strictly for moderate chewers
Color: Blue
Got this to keep the high-energy puppy occupied indoors so the older dogs can actually get some peace and quiet. The main issue with most automated electronic pet toys is that they rely on expensive, hard-to-find button cell batteries that die after a single afternoon of use.
This unit utilizes a built-in 300mAh battery with a standard Type-C charging interface. That is a mandatory design feature if you actually want to run the toy daily without going broke replacing power cells. The internal motor generates enough erratic movement to keep a dog's attention, and it actually has the torque to navigate over standard tile, hardwood, and light carpets without instantly stalling out in a corner.
You need to completely understand the physical limitations of what you are unboxing here. The listing explicitly states this is not for heavy chewers, and you need to take that warning seriously. The outer shell is TPU, but the internal chassis housing the electronics is hard ABS plastic. If you hand this to an 80-pound working dog that aggressively shreds thick bones, they are going to crush the housing and destroy the internal motor assembly in about ten minutes.
At roughly 2.5 inches in diameter, it's basically the size of a standard tennis ball. If you use it as intended—as an interactive chasing toy for a puppy or a moderate chewer rather than a heavy-duty chew toy—it functions perfectly. It is a highly practical piece of indoor enrichment gear. Solid return on investment for burning off excess canine energy.

Pawsitively Stimulating🐾
Color: Blue
When my hooman brought this home, I thought it was fur their computer. After all, it has a plug and lights up. When they placed it on the floor, I was pawsomely surprised. Fur real, this little ball is wierd. It doesn't taste at all like my favorite tennis ball. I was a pawplexed that sometimes when I was finally brave enough to get it and hold it in my mouth, it would start jumping around. I think my hoomans finally found a toy that will keep me busy for a while. Mom is howling with excitement because it kept me interested for a long time. I hope I can sleep tonight. I see mom has plugged in my new toy to keep it "charged"- whatever that means....I never had a toy that came with its own leash before. Mom says she is gonna save the toy until other hoomans come over to keep me from being too ruff with them. You see the video, do I look a dog who could be too ruff?- Sincerely, the family dog, a bona-fido toy reviewer

Freaks my dogs out.
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My dogs really don't know what to make of these. They mostly follow it around, staring at it curiously, but semi-afraid to approach it. That, or they'll bark at it. It charges quickly and has multiple modes to engage your pet with. It also locks closed securely ... for the most part.
That said, there are some downsides. This toy is mostly made for smaller dogs. I'd say 40 or 50 pounds max. While the plastic shell feels hard and durable, it's not hard enough for a big dog's jaws. My big bulldog mix bore down on this with his teeth, and I hard the plastic starting to snap. It's tough, but not great if your dog is the type who likes to put the pressure on.
