Dandi Wind – Balloon Factory

We all know about the face of The Virgin Mary in the skirting board, The statue of Little Baby Cheeses and the Twiglet / Potato / Haphazard root vegetable effigy of Christ your fanatic neighbour brings round every few weeks, so when Dandi Wind told the tale of being the chosen one to interpreter the wisdom of the lord from a balloon which claimed to be The Virgin Mary I wasn’t that surprised. One way to get a promotion I guess.

I mean, a bit of Balloon Modelling, how hard could it be?

The most surprising thing is what this voice had to say in its great revelation.

“wang diddly dang Dang diddle biddle wang Wong bong ding dong”

That’s a bit banal. What a let down. You wait 2005 years and that’s all you get?

Hardly one of the great monologues from the old-skool testament is it. Still hits a ten out of ten on the mind gone blank for the chorus lyrics scale.

In Dandi Wind world as well as Balloon Mary and holey socks there are posters of Mu, Peaches, Patti Smith and Karen O on the bedroom wall (Just like mine) but in Balloon Factory its straight out Lene Lovich doing disco punches with Les Georges.

Piss Factory its not, but hyperactive fun it is, which is good if you like balloon sculpture more than watersports at your party, but bad it you don’t.

Thanks to burkowitz and Eclectic Sound Basement for pointing us into Dandi Wind world, we hope you get to live there one day.

This is sacrilege we hear! Don’t mess with my bad religion. Obviously we all know the real story of the birth of the Lord though…

Big Stick – Jesus Was Born on An Indian Reservation

Yep, Jesus was Born on an Indian Reservation. He probably got right up out the Crib and went Drag Racing, cos if I was the almighty son of god that’s what I would do and get Russ Mayer to film in all in ultra sleazoid vision. Fred Schneider could bring his Thee Wise Men go-go dancing troop in a shiny suits to celebrate.

Charlotte Cooper has obsessed as much as you can on Big Stick
and possibly a bit more.

Part Ten Benson/ZZ Top guitar part off kilter Renegade Soundwave drum machine, they did red neck chic a few years before Gummo and are just as cripplingly funny and cruel in equal measures. Just waiting for some RnB(modern) producer to dig them up and sample them.

If Big Stick are serious, I’m scared mummy. Gonna clap along just in case. I’m sure they have guns.

Religion is creepy.

ps- Juanfunkgreats will be playing records tonight at I am Magpie upstairs in the Fitzherberts, by the Mash Tun in Brighton. 8 to 11, expect some junkfunksmallness and country and the Shangri Las, as well as the usual non-mixing.

pps- for those who doubted !!! being one of the most advanced rock and roll prog funk units in the planet, check their version of Nate Dogg’s ‘Get Up’ at Razorblade Runner. A-WE-SOME MORE PLIS
