This is a post by Massimo one of those people who’s pushing the ‘scene’ forwards which I guess means doing his own thing with passion and excellent taste, because people are wise and pay attention, wait, maybe I’ve been reading too much Rousseau, anyway, Massimo has also been making it hard for your 20JFG kids…
Two totally unrelated and opposing tracks today, just doing it random, no themes, no loose ties, just . . . meh. ‘Begegnungen’ I & II and the Plank-less ‘After The Heat’ were kindly rereleased on Water in October of last year. Yeah we’re super lame for being so late, but we’re bringing it now, and…
I Was going to write an erudite super-long post about Hawnay Troof’s sexual politics and such but then I started playing Sissyfight2000 (I’m hardcore) and spent way too much time, you know, bullying people around the playground and saying that emo sucks big ballz lol. So it’s late and the evil agressive instincts that usually…
Is this one of these posts where the 20JFG guys don’t write about music but about made up movies with zombies and bikers and nazis and surfers and shoegazers and monkeys wearing leather trousers blah because they don’t know that much about music and anyway it’s more fun to bullshit, Lester Bang’s school of rock…
Whoops, its Friday and we’ve only done two posts! Sorry! But don’t playa hate, its been all about bank holidays here, throwing sickies, forest-dwelling, buying the best 12″ (top left) of the year and various other shits and giggles. Back on track next week, sure thing, with some more of this new-fangled rave business, and…
Sucking on helium and then talking is funny when you’re like 6 (or stoned) but when you record a song with it, that’s soopa doopa good! DAT Politics have made one of the craziest bonkers albums of the year, ‘Wow Twist’. ‘What’s Dat?’ is maybe the cutest thing on there, and we like cute sometimes,…
After kicking off their Easter Genghis Khan Overkill style with the soundtrack to ‘Kittens eating Babies’ by GG Allin as performed by Wolf Eyes, and shaking down and dirty with the Bug (highlight: Ras B riding Jammer’s Merkle Man riddim), your 20Jazzfunkgreats kids are getting sacramental now, witness the meekness. First there’s the passion, none…

What’s the new sound the kids dig? Grime was the new Indie and then Neu! Rave is the new Grime, but fuck all that shit its Neu! Techno Trance Lullabies from The Knife! The Knife! Live! Oh my. While its kind of easy to just want it to be the most amazing life affirming EVENT…
So there’s an indie rave happening! It’s got a myspace profile and we have even mentioned it in our magnificent The Do press release: it’s happening! And how does it sound? Like this Ceephax Acid Crew- Camelot Fossil plus this Retro Spankees- My Sonic Driver Or them of course. Watch the 20JFG kid who was…
Silver Ninjas – Night Wars You are bleeding because we stabbed you! God those ninjas are sneaky, don’t let them anywhere near your fucking precious heirlooms. These ninjas are a bit different cos they don’t go in with shinobi, they are setting the score right for those decades without record when ninja secrets were passed…
Occasionally you have these times. After going to ‘Touch Me I’m Sick’ the other week and doing a bit of jiggling to ELO and Starship alongside Tiga and Daft Punk you have, as Dave Unpop would put it ‘the 80s in my head’ kinda attitude. Its nothing to do with being cool, ironic or even…
Happy otter likes it that it’s spring and stuff. Happy otter likes the Heavy Meckle mixtape by Sheen and Matt Shadetek because it’s badass as hell and mostly sounds like the evil bass at the beginning of I Luv U by Dizzee Rascal only all the time. Happy otter is not sure about the social…
Grumpy old men that we are we often complain that things are not as good as in the old days. The fact that we were either not born or knee high to a grass hopper in said old days has never stopped us, so it true Last of The Summer Wine style grumpy old fucks…
Clouds lift, but then descend once more, night creeps in, you fire up the speakers, this comes to mind. Just. Press. Play. Padded Cell – Signal Failure Black Magic DisKo! DC Recordings gave us The Emperor Machine which we bowed down in adulation for, but Padded Cell too? Spoilt! But where as The Emperor Machine…
