Tom of Finland can Do It all night long

Featuring:

Nid and Sancy – Sleaze Boogie (Manic Twin Dub) (oops with thanks to Rolf) Erm, very familiar vocal lyric from a certain PiL song gets re-mixed by our favorite Teutonik Disasters Gomma records maestros Munk.

Nice line in cravats and the incompleteness theorem

Featuring:

Pink Grease – Peache Grease Remix by Peaches The original of Pink Grease – Peaches is on of my favourite almost balad since The Ramones – Baby I Love You which it pays tribute to, and can easily bring a tear to my eye. A heartbreaking tragic love tale that i’m really hopeing gets radio…

Hella Good

Featuring:

WHO? Hella, that is, Spencer Eim (Guitar & Vocals) and Zach Hill (drums), a what the fuck maybe guess we can call it rock duo from Sacramento. I must say that I knew next to nothing about them before getting my hands in their last album (more about it later gators). I had read about…

Pagan Weaster

Featuring:

Hi people, to celebrate the end of Easter we heathenic 20jazzfunkgreatsters have decided to bring you a song from the Wedding, the new album by our favourite Stoner-Psyche-Noise-Rockers, Oneida. What can we say about the Wedding? it’s a more cohesive, expansive affair than their last effort, ‘Secret Wars’, and it might well be the closest…

Add (forests) to (machines)

Featuring:

K, I’ve done lotsa machine dance modern music for r****s lately, and the nature spirits have got angry, the leaves that caress my window pane have whispered an ultimatum in my ears, ‘some forest music or we pull a Poltergeist on you’. I’m weak and small so I’ve given up to their demands with the…

Noise for the Lizard Lounger

Featuring:

Sightings – Sugar Sediment Sightings have taken the gentlest distant drift of a psychopathic nursery rhyme and welded it down under a wave of crunching noise distortion. It screams and whales in response and claws its way up, climbing and then tumbling back down. The drums beat faster with your heart, will it escape? Won’t…

Order of PiLs? Go get em Tiger!

Featuring:

PiL – The Order of Death John Carpenter is so jealous of this shit I bet. Seriously, I recon he swore like an Irish protestant minister when he heard it. By all rights it should be from Scarface but no, this fantastically atmospheric electro goth mantra was used in the cinematic masterpiece that was Miami…

Poison the man

Featuring:

Ok, fast post tonight, just arrived from a gig: Miss Pain opened with class and were true stars over the stage, another step more towards world domination (and Caught My Eye is a blinder, one of these days we’ll put it up here). Gravy Train!!! gave the goofiest, sexiest in a shag in the club’s…

TV Personalities

Featuring:

Blogger is behaving like the Smoker in X-Files, trying to thwart your good jazzfunkgreatsters’ attempts to get through with some tunes, and we don’t have time to write anyway and things ain’t good and we don’t feel inspired. But we’d do anything for our readers, so with the last drop of coffee-soaked blood we write,…

War of Glass

Featuring:

O God, when, when are Glass Candy and The Shattered Theatre going to get theirs? The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Roger Sisters, what about Glass Candy? (and these are respectable bands, I won’t even get into discussing Kings of Leon or the Killers or Jet or The Vines, I shouldn’t even be mentioning those…gits…in these…

Tanzmusik Comatose

Featuring:

Have you seen this advert featuring a baby with a jaunty woman’s voice? Gross!!! I’m talking about babies cos I don’t want to mention robots…and the song we’re posting today is like the likkle kid, the ‘Boogie Boy’ if you will, of the LCD Soundsystem hermaphrodite monster. Kaos featuring Captain Comatose-Boogie Boy It’s like a…

Fast post!! Fast song!! Fast!!!!!

Featuring:

WOOZERS!! Faster than a little horsey being chased by a man with titties!! Band with a situationist name and dodgy armbands (oh my) start this really dancey groove in a ‘escaping from the mental ward’ vein, reminds me a bit of Liars Mk. 1 but with a hardcore bent, or meatier Ex-models. And enough of…

Aquatic Numanoids

Featuring:

This morning I was looking from the bus at the people walking up and down Western Road and they all looked so grey and miserable and so sad, their skins were the same colour as the sky, which was actually like the screen of a TV with a broken aerial (image kind of adapted from…

The rules of Robotics as rewritten by Alden Tyrell. 1- A robot should enslave as many human beings as possible or, when not possible to enslave them, bring harm to the human beings. 2- A robot must obey orders given it by Satan except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3- A…

Mountain of Fanny

Featuring:

No artificial flavour? Who are they kidding. FannyPack are just a bunchy of kids with attention deficit disorder who just ate all the sour sugar coated candy (that makes your mouth go urgh and you pull a funny face) in the entire lucky bag from Woolworths, and downed it with Sunny Delight. As such they…

A Bass to win the US election

Featuring:

I’m re-reading ‘Fear and Loathing in the campaign trail’ as a little tribute to Hunter S. Thompson (and because it’s an amazing book). When talking about the disorganisation of the McGovern campaign, this is what he had to say… ‘So it is probably not fair to mock Shriver for marching to the beat of a…

99 tears

Featuring:

Off the Hook could well be the best song E.S.G. (see yesterday) never wrote, it’s got that perfect combination of earnest amauterism, unlikely tight-ass funkiness and disarming sincerity that you find in the Scroggins sisters at their best (almost always). It turns the Rolling Stones original into something else. Y Pants- Off the Hook It’s…
