Just Like The Ween
„SURFACE TO AIR MISSIVE
is primarily the project of recorder player Taylor Ross from The American South. This Rock Band has destroyed The Rock Band in order to build a New Rock Band sourced from Fake Classical / Neo-Baroque stylings. Recorders big and small multi-tracked atop atypical chord progressions”
This is a neo-baroque psych folk pop crank, an easy, bloody fun
from the album „A V” on Leaving Records (US)
But this song shows just one face from the many of the band. Sometimes it seems as if there would be a different band, because „Hey, it’s totally Sonic Youth”; „Oh what is the name of that Czech folk jazz band? They make something similar. Jablkon! That’s right.” And in the next moment it turns into grunge. Just like the Ween.

Under Severe Delusion
„everyone believes in something that doesn’t exist, we’re telling people we don’t exist, that we’re a fictional band and
we want to write the biggest pop hits that the radio won’t touch.”
MOONLANDINGZ
In this fiction the persons are from the Fat White Family & The Eccentronic Research Council, and this phantom song is „our ode to the odious little England hegemony we have suddenly found ourselves sinking into”
from Blak Hanz EP on Transgression Records (UK) on 16 Dec
But maybe all of these are just games of the imagination.
Let All Birdies Free From Cages
„What is comic, airhead, grimace, a small matter, an unnecessary detail, unusual fleeting, a natural inconsistency that unpredictably crops up and suddenly disappears, touchable non-sense, an unexpected epiphany.”
one girl mess from Grinchland
CAZZURILLO
plays no wavish electro punk
Bunny’s Bed
from her upcoming new album, will be released in December Cheap Satanism (Belgium) / Lentonia (France) / La Solita Minestra Records (Italy)
There are no many things to say about CAZZURILLO, one girl mess from Grinchland. She just composes melodramatic popular songs and performs them on her voice, guitar, bass guitar, drum machine and noises with visual smash up whenever/ however/ wherever/ whoever she wants. Nevertheless CAZZURILLO is still convinced to be an atypical composer and performer, but the soup is always the same old minestrone with Syd Barett, Sex Pistols, Lydia Lunch or Nirvana.
Andre Williams 80
„If you go fuck three girls in one week, you fuck all three of them good! You know what I mean? If you do a song, put you heart in it! Don’t come up with no bullshit lyric! Come up with the real lyric! If the word is „Take it out, let me see it”, then say it! Don’t say stuff like „Ooh, you look kinda mysterious to me.” That ain’t sayin’ the same damn thing!”
ANDRE WILLIAMS is a wonder. Not just because of his oeuvre, but also because he is not just alive, but active up to this date. He made many songs in various styles as rock and roll, blues, soul, funk, rap or garage rock, and not just for himself. In the first chapter of his career he worked together e.g. Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Ike and Tina Turner, George Clinton and more. In the second chapter which started in late 80s he worked with Jon Spencer, and members of such garage rock bands as The Oblivians, Dirtboms or Gories. Yestarday our black godfather turned into his 80th.
His career has started with a fraudulent enlistment in 1950. When he was 14 he joined the US Navy with his brother’s birth certificate, because the age limit was 17. But not long after this his brother got drafted.
I’m moving marines on the USS Compton Destroyer from shore to a hospital ship, under fire every fuckin’ night! Boom! Boom! I’m a trainee on the 40 mm. Fifteen motherfuckin’ years old, OK? These motherfuckers fly me back to Washington, give me a general Court Martial and send me to the penitentiary for a year! Fraudulent enlistment! On the Court Martial board, I’m sitting with five fuckin’ admirals. All stiff, bold, big motherfuckers, you know.
My lawyer said „Send this kid home, he’s a child!” Then they came back and said „One year in Fort Levenworth, and a dishonourable discharge” and I said [adopts slow dramatic tone] „Kiss-my-ass-mother-fuckers!” So they appealed the case and they sent me back from Fort Levenworth after 6 weeks for a retrial. I go back on the retrial, thinking they gonna cut me-a-loose. Them cocksuckers made the year stick and give me a bad conduct discharge. All they did change was the discharge. You get a red corduroy coat, a Ben Hogan cap, a pair of black pants, twenty five dollars and a train ticket with your choice of destination.
He didn’t go back to Chicago. He feared that would be send to a reformatory school, so he went to Detroit. It was a Tuesday when he arrived. There he found a theatre where on every Tuesday evening was a talent show. 25 USD was the first prize. Afternoon he wrote his first song and won. And next week won again, and then again and again, and finally got a contract from a little record label Fortune Records. His break trough hit was the „Bacon Fat” in 1956. He said about
When I came up with „Bacon Fat” I was travelling from Detroit to Memphis. That’s when I knew that I had to come up with a gimmick. So I stopped in Memphis and I got an egg and bacon sandwich – on toast! I’m driving and a lot of places where we used to travel, it was only a two lane highway so you’d see the cotton pickers on both sides and I’m driving and [starts tapping a beat on his thigh, starts humming] „Down in Tennessee… and the name of the dance is…” and I had the sandwich in my hand and there it came, „The Bacon Fat!”
He was there when Motown came alive, and also produced recordings for another little label Chess Records (Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Little Walter, Chuck Berry, Howlin’ Wolf). Worked together with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gay, The Contours, The Supremes, Ike and Tina Turner, Edwin Starr, Parliament, Funkadelic and many more. But in the 80s he slipped into poverty because of his alcohol and drug addictions, and even he lived as a homeless in Chicago too. His comeback album „Directly From The Streets” in 1990 refers to this tract. It was a funk rap album. Since then he made many fantastic albums with different bands and musicians, for example:
soul band The Diplomats of Solid Sound, jazz-funk-rock band Morning 40 Federation under pseudonym The New Orleans Hellhounds, Canadian country rock and roll band The Sadies, Chicago garage rock band The Goldstars, members of The Oblivians, Dirtboms, Dirty Three, Crime & City Solution, Cheater Slicks, Gories and same ones.
This is his greatest hit. Originally it was written for The Five Du-Tones in 1963.
His brand new album released this summer on Bloodshot Records
Quotes from this interview
Bela Lugosi The Red Vampire
Bela Lugosi originally was a locksmith lad but became an actor of the National Theatre of Hungary. During the short lived Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919 he was a member of the workers and soldiers’ soviet in the 2nd district of Budapest. He was charged with communize the Hungarian theatres by the Commissariat of Public Education.
He „was a dangerous communist”. In revolutionary meetings at Club of Artists and National Theatre he agitated for communism and the dictatorship of proletariat. And he presented it. Mayor of Budapest was evicted from his flat by our hero. After the fall he escaped, but a warrant of arrest was issued by the Royal Prosecution Office against him.
„A frightful hobgoblin stalks throughout Europe. We are haunted by a ghost, the ghost of Communism” – wrote Marx and Engels in their Communist Manifesto in 1848. But the Americans were haunted by the Dracula himself. And now also the Englishmen, thanks to The Severed Limb
They are very DIY . „The Severed Limb began life as a punk skiffle trio, recording a cassette in the cellar of drummer Charlie Michael’s south London pub in 2008. With Bobby Paul on guitar/vocals and Charlie’s half brother Leo Lewis on washboard they began gigging in South London pubs. With no actual bass player they asked members of the audience to fill in on tea-chest bass.”
But maybe you also don’t know what is „skiffle.” Well, it’s a music genre with jazz, blues, folk and roots influences, usually using homemade or improvised instruments. Exactly like Mama Rosin does it.
Today there are six men in The Severed Limb, even with so trivial instruments like standard drum-kit or organ, so the shadow of heresy is on them. Dr. Orloff should to make an inspection in this case.
„Bela Lugosi” 7″ vinyl will be released on Drastic Decline Records on November 12.

Synth wave, elektro pop, acid tracks on Dutch label
ENFANT TERRIBLE RECORDS
TWINS (US, Atlanta, Georgia) is Matt Weiner who is also known for his Featureless Ghost project and of course as the head of the DKA Records label… it’s a classic minimal elektro record but at the same time a rather modern piece of electronic music…RATHER NOT 12″ MINI LP
Zarkoff together with Ikonal from Croatia… these three tracks are from one of the infamous synth jams Zarkoff is organizing in an empty factory near Sisak in Croatia… the acid tracks featured on this EP have a throbbing beat with a clear hint to EBM… and the acid lines are both psychedelic and dark… TOXICOLOGY 12″EP
Antlers Mulm from Leipzig, Germany… recommended to fans of New Order but also of Solitude FX… melancholy, dreamy and catchy… GIVE AND TAKE 7″
The Countdown has begun, The Drug Train is coming
We’we Got The Magic from a Black Hole, so I Call Your Name Satan. And I Wanna Be Your Puppy. But Need Money for Chicken Space Pie and Milk. Hvala.
There was a crazy summer day/night when French band VAGINA TOWN played at RNR666 10th Birthday Party in Budapest last year. At that time their just released one single. Now here is their first album 11 LOVE SONGS by Kythibong Records
Zsófi said: Jeeeeee
Pali said: Good! First song like Pixies, third like Movie Star Junkies. They recovered from The Cramps infection.
I say: Hard rock and roll psychedelia turns into country, blues, jazz’n back. Very playful and funny. My favourite moment when the easy rock and roll song I Wanna Be Your Puppy turns into Deep Purple’s Space Truckin’

anyway Herry Rollins wrote about his shop „spent 2 hours in Strangeworld Records today. It’s one of the best record stores in the world and everyone should go there”, so if you are around Melbourne
I asked myself “hey, what the hell is this fucking good song”, and turned up the volume
Someone said about THE BOLOS‘ music „Son House gone psych backed by The Gun Club.” Maybe, I don’t know. But it is sure that Black Lips, Paint Fumes, Mark Sultan, King Khan shared the stage with them. And when I have heard the first Bolos’ song today, I asked myself „hey, what the hell is this fucking good song”, and turned up the volume
Anyway they are coming from San Antonio, Texas. And the 7″ single is out now on French label Six Tonnes De Chair Records.
a fucking furniture removalist from Adelaide
“I’m a fucking furniture removalist from Adelaide. I write down-and-out pop songs. I write songs about every job that I do.”
He is Craig Dermody, well, he writes down-and-out pop songs exactly like Parquet Courts. Bored, melanholic, sometimes angry, simple, beautiful. This song is taken from his 3rd album Mid Thirties Single Scene. It has been released in September by Fire Records (UK).
Euro tour is going to start this month: UK, Holland, Germany, Spain, France.
Craig’s band is Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, named about a golden act of an Australian soap oper Neighbours, when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan got married in 1987.
And here is the old bandcamp page with the old albums, and you can find there his best song Footscray Station.
És kedves magyar olvasó, ennek a „Neighbours”-nak lett hazai változata a Szomszédok néven ismert szocio-horror.
A jazz double bass player – an electronic musician – a heavy rock drummer
on the edge between electronics and acoustic. The four tracks of their debut album are slowly developing and re-shaping, from free form drums to ambient textures. Hypnotic and repetitive elements are put in contrast with nervous percussions and abrasive sounds, with atypical double-bass feedback or noise in the background
But Alberto Boccardi is not a simple electronic musician because he is an aerospace engineer who also gratueted at Conservatorio di musica “Giuseppe Verdi” di Milano, and played bass and drums since his 14s in punk, hardcore and crossover bands.
And Paolo Mongardi is not a simple heavy rock drummer because he plays in Fuzz Orchestra – a cinematic rock band like Mr. Bungle or Secret Chief 3 -, a math rock band DEUS! and a drone one Fulkanelli.
And of course Antonio Bertoni is not a simple bass player because he is a double bass player. And also the record label Boring Machines is not simple one.
The label Boring Machines celebrate its 10th birthday this year. The anniversary album is released on LP in only ten copies. Original unreleased music, not available elsewhere. No information about the artist name. No titles, no graphics. No digital versions, no previews. 10 numbered copies. After 10 years, we feel you should trust our tastes. 3 remaining.
