Ok, let’s check my knowledge about Hawkwind…

Lemmy Kilminster played with them.

Angels of Death makes me feel good and B.A.D. (Bad Ass Dude) at the same time.

Stuart and Matt and Michael Moorcock dig them a lot.

They could be the definitive Games Workshop band.

Optimo put ‘Hash Cake 77′ in their ace Psyche Out compilation. They also released that as a picture disc that we didn’t get because none of you selfish readers, you, followed the advice we gave about ‘presents we would like to receive’. This is a wake up call, still waiting for the daft punk dolls and that flight to Tokyo or Montreal. Gotta check the scene!

All good things except the lack of presents. Boo!

Well, here’s one for you…

Betty Botox, who are Optimo associates and released the Kraut ep , very loved in these parts, have reworked one of their tracks, Opa Loka, and put it in their slightly Spaced Mix.

Hawkwind- Opa Loka (Betty Botox rework)

What they have done is add a harder beat and not much more. This is quite fine by me, as that original, with its mysterious kosmische dronic progression towards an abnormal paradigm of intelligence and telepathic communication with highly evolved apes who built the pyramids, the obelisk and what have you rules the galaxy anyway , I would post it as well if I didn’t want to save some memory space for…

AFRIRAMPO!! Or…

…two cool rock chicks listening to early Sonic Youth and making a racket of absurd proportions, I mean, is it legal for just two people to unleash so much noise into the environment? I thought there was a regulation about this man.

Oh well, thank Yoshimi there isn’t, because otherwise Afrirampo would have to find another way of releasing the energy, I don’t know, something like demolishing mountains with sledgehammers, parting the pacific ocean, eating lots of vitamins and growing into godzilla-like creatures to do the cossack dance on top of Mount Fuji, lord knows. Erm, actually all of that is really cool…

In their last album, Kore Ga Mayaku Da (A Naked Body – Thank you so much to masa!) , out in Tzadik records, they mostly show their massive freak-out face and leave aside for a bit the new-wave OOIOO meet the Slits aspects, still it’s fun as fuck if you like your kicks heavy, we 20JFGlosers, of course do.

Afrirampo- Hadaka

Say, check the mindbending oddyssey we are posting today, o lord, it is like the Boredoms doing Death Valley 69, an avalanche of demolition rythms and guitar abuse and girly screeching that reaches levels of intensity and ‘rockness’ most so-called rockers can’t even dream of and if they did they would have to be put into an asylum like those fragile poets who had visions of Cthulhu’s return in H.P. Lovecraft’s ‘novels’ (as we and many of our readers know, they are more like ‘reports’).

Vicious, oh yeah.

More please.
