I HAVE HURT MY IINDEX FINGER TYPING SO GOTTS TO KEEP IT SHORT. LET THE MUSIC TALK ECT. I’M WRITING IN UPPER CASE TO CONVEY THE SHEER LOUD HARDCORENESS OF THE TUNES I’M POSTING FREINDS. IT’S ANNOYING AS FUCK BUT BEAR WITH ME. OR JUST LISTEN TO THE TUNES & BUY THE RECORDS, WHICH IS…
Gotta love the record industry: it appears that the album format is not selling that well with the advent of the ‘digital revolution’ and all, you know, CDs are overpriced and most of the stuff in them is filler, people just buy a couple of tracks in iTunes and give the finger to the bundling…
Bernard Fevre is loved by 20JFG for his stellar work as Black Devil Disco Club where he conjures satanic black-light shimmering disco from his wizard-like fingers. But his solo work takes a different route, minimal and delicate sounds not music to dance with the devil in the pale moomlight to. 20JFG faves Quiet Village have…
When I uploaded the rather nicely packaged, all-in-one, brand new reissue of Nico’s seminal albums, “The Marble Index”, and “Desertshore”, into my iTunes, I noticed that in the genre section it had registered as “unclassifiable“. iTunes has a habit of getting the genre identification thing a tad wrong from time to time, but in this…
Ok so we have been thinking about the 2.0 revolution and everything it means for the world. Everyone knows how any movement is just hype until 20JFG gives it its seal of approval, it’s all a bit like, if a tree falls in the forest and 20JFG haven’t posted about it in their lo-fidelity blog,…
2O12 AD: AUTOMATONS MADE FLESH, SPEARHEADING TOWARD EARTH FROM PLANET CYBER-FOLK This, they have said, is ADULT.’s folk album. No really. Check out the video on the official site that casts them as film noir Liars hacking up the forest ground with high heels and blood splattered spades. ADULT. – You Don’t Worry Enough So…
(Lo and behold, down the yellow road cometh Lord Nuneaton Savage, please do visit, and do bookmark, his new log on all things swirling, ‘The Savage Word’ because his penmanship defeats anything you’ll find anywhere else in the serendipitous lands of the information highway, this, dare we call him, MAN, is a genius and whenever…
When the weak child that I was first saw the light of day, my father took me in his arms, raised his eyes to heaven and said, ‘Oh almighty power, whose exponent is immensity, oh last term of all ascending series, oh my God, behold another sensible being projected into space. If he is destined…
Chromatics have been stepping up their game in the past few weeks, rumblings of new music posted on the myspace page sending out ripples of sound across the internet. These ripples reverberate off of us and we share the dark egyptian-disco love. They also are featured in the latest edition of Dazed & Confused too….
I’ve always wanted to draw like Paper Rad kids. I also want to sound like them, or their drawings. You know how everyone is doing the Oizo Crunk Skunk Saraband these days, and painting it in pretend pixelated dayglo? Well, except Justice I guess, who have decided to take the piss off Larry Levan’s standing…
Lets face it, remixes in a general sense of the word can be unutterably shit. Its on the rare occasion that something comes out and blows the fuck out of the original or even comes close to it. Too many wastemen think they can remix/re-edit, you need imagination, much like the fellas we will discuss…
Last time we saw him, 20JFG was lost in the Freudian caverns of Nerd-Dom enjoying noisy thrills in his walkman, trying to accumulate some energies for the final fowdown against his fatal foe. Shame against doesn’t start with an f. Neither does show-down, we just like to break the rules cos we’re so punk. We…
When I was 8, many years ago in the sleepy town of Twyford, Berkshire, there was a crappy little video shop that in hindsight would actually be some sort of cinematic heaven, but when your 8 you just want to watch The Real Ghostbusters. So this one time, when I was picking up said animated…
After several defeats in the neuronal field, the 20JFG one who never hurt a bee retreats into the caves of nerd-dom to gather energies, he whistles posts like a 1920s Depression hobo remembering better days of stock exchange bonanza and nights down at the cabaret, wha, you say, cut to the chase you overgrown baby,…
We are bursting at the seams at the prospect of an album by Padded Cell. Imagine, looking back at previous 12″s, what it will be like? The Emperor Machine made by witches and warlocks who shroud themselves in blood-red satin cloaks and have glitterballs for eyes. Today marks the release of ‘Moon Menace’ on DC…
What prey tell has our favourite debonaire Zombie-about-town been upto since the unleashing of the ‘Teddy Boy’ EP last year? Kavinsky has been hard at work with the ’1986′ EP, which has just been released by the lovely Record Makers. Kavinsky – Grand Canyon We love Zombies, its the surest thing, and we love cartoon…
