Hey! Why hadn’t anyone told me about this band?? They are called Antifamily and this song is in their self titled EP released last year by Difficult Fun which is the name of a Slits song. Antifamily- Staring at a Point It’s got it all!! offish postpunkgirl vocals!! blambapblamblam monster Metronomicon beats!! Nicely recorded dumdumdum…
Felix Kubin- Hit Me Provider Hit me provider (Internet sadist song about te wholes in tissues of flesh. ‘Hit me Provider, I lost my mouse, oh no, I’ve got a Loch im Gewebe.de’) according to his website. Brutalist synthpop I say, and genius at that, Felix Kubin, ruler of the Syndicate of Counter-Noise, scrawls the…
Last time I saw Snoop he was in Live8 sporting two very cute ponytails… I was like…WTF? I mean, the guy who turned my brother into a hustler with doggystyle, probably the apex of Gangsta Rap (with Straight Outta Compton and the Chronic), the guy who had this routine where gangbanging, smoking dope, smacking people…
Special guest post today from mr Gary 11 on, well Motown Philly. We will let him explain. “DMM-DMM-DMM DAAH DAAH, DMM-DMM-DMM DAAH DAAH, BAA-EY-AAH-EY-AAH-EY-AAH DAH!” etc.. I could go on. But I don’t think that would be a good idea now, would it. No, I’m not even going to think of trying to preach to…
Indian is a long time favourite look down the local discotheque. You got to be brave(no pun intended) to pull it off. From The Sweet, The Village People, Pow Wow of Soul Sonic Force, Adam Ant through to Anthrax and now the latest bunch Tussle are all rocking the Indian too. Nothing turban based, just…
We at 20jazzfunkgreats like to tread those fuzzy areas between what you can call (proper) indie and avant garde (whatever), Artrocker would be the ‘pop’ extreme and Wire the ‘leftfield’ one. We get lost in the edges, where things get messy and interesting, we like fucked up noises we can groove to and noisy grooves…
First things first, thanks to Fujiya and Miyagi and Steeple Remove for letting us dj at their gig at the Sussex Arts Club last night, we fucked things up a bit as usual but with panache, and both bands were ace. They’re working on some rather mind blowing stuff, we’ll make sure to keep you…
Plant Life – The Last Song (Chicken Lips Remix) Plant Life give us a small hint in the lyrics like Bootsy, like Sly, like Jimi, like Prince, like George apparently and yeh, we can go with that. We would like to add Chromeo, Detroit Grand Pubahs, Daft Punk and Les Rhythm Digitales when it comes…
It’s all about the dark forest… Two years ago Phil Elverum disappeared in the woods of Mount Eerie, he came back carrying a beautifully hand-sewn piece of cardboard full of black vinyl that was dark poetry flowing with the subtle strength of an unseen stream. The spirit of Mount Eerie possessed and transformed the Microphones,…
Karl Popper was the founder of falsationism, a methodology for scientifical validation that stated that scientific theories cannot be proved ‘true’. According to him the only possible criterion for their acceptance is that they are not proved wrong, that is, contradicted by empirical evidence. He proposed that a scientist, when developing a theory, should present…
Very briefly, today, just had to say… Circle are playing in Brighton on Sunday. They are this amazing Finnish kraut-prog-rock outfit who sing in a made up language called Meronian and rule quite a lot (so much they are playing in Kosmische’s birthday tomorrow). We missed them last year, and apparently they gave the best…
I haven’t really been able to do anything today, just feeling weird and spaced. No-one I know, and no-one anyone I know knows have been hurt, still. It was the same with Madrid last year. It feels shit to think that way. That’s what it makes to you. What I wanted is to come back…
Hank – Defreeze & Top Gal Today I have been mostly gyrating around like I was in a surfer b-movie. Sand in my Brylcreem barnet. So what’s causing this 50s throw back go-go beach happening you ask? Did you get Sisters of Suave by Thee Headcotees in the local charity shop? Nope. It’s simply. The…
An Albatross – I Am The Lazer Viking An Albatross play that kind of stop start hyper energetic children of Devo noise we are so fond of at xxjfg, usually made by our Japanese friends like Melt-Banana. As a result they won a place in our hearts and set lists for quite some time now….
Danava – Silver Shock You know you really want Danava to all be 7ft drag queens from Uranus who thought Hedwig was false metal. Aparently they are not though, Danavas are the sons of Danu, a daughter of Daksha. Their father is the sage Kashyapa, who is a wish-born son of Lord Brahma. They are…
I am tired so let me write a lazy review, if thou wilt. I’m gonna connect Klaus Kinski and Kevin Bacon, no, sorry, Klaus Kinski and John carpenter, no, sorry, Kinski and I-F. Sorry. Please. Kinski is a band that does very beautiful, mostly instrumental rock that sounds a bit like a soundtrack to the…
