ITS COLD OUTSIDE
So I haven’t posted diddly for awhile, real sorry. I some how fumbled myself into a 9 to 5 job. Bazaar, I know but I’ve learnt some valuable adult life skills by working an honest job. For Example. The majority of middle aged people are the most ridiculous people alive. Vent. Ok, now that ive [...]
LOOKOUT
Love of Diagrams, Melbourne, have just released their third album, Nowhere Forever, and it is amazing. Coming from a band thats roots lie in the sounds of NY No Wave and UK Post Punk, that band has taken these sounds and grown and developed them, fusing more recently with 80’s/90’s Shoegaze and Dream-Pop, to create [...]
SONG OF THE WEEK
So of late Ive been getting really heavily back into old NY No Wave and experimental punk, and gone through pretty much every compilation I could dig up on the scene, but Im finding the tracks that have really been standing out for me are still the slightly poppier numbers. From a recent compilation that [...]
NOT-POP
The Pop Group was a post-punk band from Bristol, England whose dissonant sound spanned punk, free jazz, funk and dub reggae. Formed in 1978 by Mark Stewart (lyrics, vocals), John Waddington (guitar), Gareth Sager (guitar), Simon Underwood (bass) and Bruce Smith (drums, percussion), they issued their debut single, “She is Beyond Good and Evil” on [...]
JAMES MURPHY & SPEED...
During the mid-’90s, the short-lived Speedking released four nearly impossible-to-find 7″s, toured with Six Finger Satellite (The Juan Maclean’s previous outfit) and June of 44, and quickly disbanded. But the 2002 release of The Fist and the Laurels, a two-disc anthology including the New York City band’s previously unreleased full-length as well as their 7″ [...]
SONG OF THE DAY
Time for another Song Of The Day. I was going to include a track off the new Passion Pit album because Ive been digging that recently, but its just too sugary and I know I’ll just be completely sick of it in two weeks time, like MGMT.
So on with the time tested goodness.
In the burgeoning [...]
EGG ROLL, KITTIES, GUM, D...
When you’re finding study a drag and all your favourite bands just remind you of how much you aren’t having fun and all your ‘chill-out’ music makes you want to do nothing but nothing, i find nothing hits the spot better than a bit of dirty, sweaty, bad-aaaaaaassss funk. The following is off the EXCELLENT [...]
DEATH DISCO, MUTANT DISCO...
To get yourselves started on some fantastic music, I suggest first hunting down the three New York Noise Compilations. Every one is bursting with amazing late 70’s/early 80’s New York No Wave, Death Disco, and Noise Rock. From there move on to at least the first two Mutant Disco comps (the first one is the [...]
PUTIN’ ON THE RITZ
After a lot of late nights, panic attacks and tantrums… all i can think is …Thank fuck we don’t have to look at the word press default anymore! Id like to thank Patch (also huge props to Steve for helping out) for all your hard work scripting this bad boy, all the other writers for [...]
SONG OF THE WEEK
This one just snuck right under my nose a few years back. You may remember Out Hud, the NY band Tyler, Nic and Justin from !!! used to play in around the early 2000’s. Well, Id only heard the one track, ‘Its For You’, from Cut Copy’s T5 Soul Sessions mix at around the 8 [...]
