Staying up late can expose you to terrifying things. Like Late Night Hollyoaks and Channel 5 in general, or the hideous sounds of flatmates having ugly sex, ack! (no link for that, sorry). But it can also be incredibly beneficial. On P2P networks, the small hours of the morning in the UK means that the…
Ok, so yesterday we talked about drums, today, let us listen to…drums. CEEPHAX ACID CREW IS BACK! Squarepusher’s lil mentalist brother (yeah, Tom is the normal one you see?) puts most dubstep geeks, drum and bass dancing clowns and warp backpackers (hum, do those Maximo Park fools wear backpacks?) to shame with a full machine…
Yep, the new album by our beloved Liars came out yesterday, monday, and it’s a pretty sight. Thing is my vinyl copy seems to have some sort of defect and the second cut (Let’s not Wrestle Mt heart Attack) prances and bounces rather upsettingly. I have decided not to listen to it any more and…
I smiled. Myspace…oh, I could go on about myspace for ages. (Skip the next paragraph and do something worthwhile with your life mate) ((I could go on about ‘emo-haircuts’ and how the difussion of digital cameras has changed the fine art of portraiture, about stalkers and lame bands, about spam from lame bands (‘hey cool…
We all know how there is only so much madness collected in one place in one time and levels slip and rise in patient/staff relations, so it all gets a little blurry who the patient is and the professional line goes wooo yeh, quantity theory of insanity, and the party gets a little wild. You…
The Screamers – I Wanna Hurt The internet is great and filesharing fucking rules. There is no chance on the planet someone like me born in the wrong country a little too late would be able to track down anything by The Screamers and not pay through the nose for it. Punks in Liverpool used…
Did we ever tell you we love Kill Rock Stars? We’d also like to kill a few ‘rock stars’ like Bono emperor of the world (Playlouder are right, he is starting to look like the Predator), but nah, we’re talking the excellent record label and we’d never kill anyone save for that evil narnia queen…
Free Blood – Never Hear Surf Music Animal Collective are not really known for having the funk. If they did it might come out like what we thing Beck should be doing these days (bit harsh, we liked the 8-bit stuff).!!! really do have the funk, like an army of it Napoleon Dynamite dancing down…
I have a special playlist in my twat-pod just for when I face horror, that is, when I have to go to Churchill Square Mall, it includes Wolf Eyes, Burning Star Core, Sunn O))), Fushitsusha, Xinlisupreme and from tomorrow, this. Haddonfield, Illionois- La Rebelion de las Muertas In which a bunch of scary masked types…
Robin Crutchfield’s Dark Day- No, Nothing, Never Well yes, I have actually, now that you mention it. Gary Numan was there, sitting in the corner writing ‘Replicas’ while your track was playing, and the cast of ‘Liquid Sky’ were trying they’re hardest to look elegantly wasted and hide the fact they have zero acting talent….
You know how at 20JFG (and the Do) we kinda obsess with a number of things that include dario argento, artificial intelligence, ninjas, old school sneakers, heavy metal grafitti, stupid keyboards, bright colours, rammellzee’s outfits, cats, dan clowes, mythical creatures, bruce campbell, h.p. Lovecraft and daft punk toys (wait, that’s robots). And Divine. We also…
Zongamin’s debut a couple of years ago was a total blinder, a collection of playful electrofunk toy symphonies composed by a smart and gentle bass wielding gentleman, who, when asked by me to autograph a copy, covered it with a drawing of an honest abe wearing a stovepipe hat smoking a, erm, pipe, and a…
Test-Icicles bring the Devil’s noise, we all know this. Their album ‘For Screening Purposes Only’, has enough death-metal-grime-schlock-hell to knock you straight over if you play it loud enough. But there have been some pointless dodgy dance remixes that really should be banished back to the studios from whence they came with a ‘PUT THE…
