Unknown Passage

Dead Moon are a favorite in our house. The band that we can all agree on - I mean who doesn't like weird creepy music made by a husband and wife team in their sixties?? Now I knew that Fed Cole had been in the Weeds in the 60's and the Rats in the 70's before starting Dead Moon with his wife Toody....but I didn't realize just how deep his history went...the dude was fucking THERE man. Hanging with Janis, playing with the Seeds... fuckin everything. The movie is pretty inspiring, especially for someone heading towards middle age with a couple o kids and a room full of records. These dudes are still at it.... like a family. Drummer Andrew Toomis "In the states you gotta be wearing the right clothes, 5 cute guys up on stage and I'm there with grandma and grandpa kicking ass and taking names". This film was a revelation to me. We were lucky enough to share a stage with their new band Pierced Arrows in Texas last week...which was an honor and a pleasure.

Wow

I like to add a bit of levity to this serious music lover's blog. 

Robot voice, distorted screaming, melodramatic emo-rap breakdown, edgy misspelling/word creation, veering off course by forcing angry lyrics ("LIAR!") into what is otherwise a dance track about getting "f*cking freaky" with a girl you met at a club, references to ice, grills, cadillacs, and wheels that spin

+ 

furry love, dancing girls, bling cars, pouring out a 40, "crazy" graphics, Hype Williams-esque slow mo's, blowing smoke rings, throwing mock gang signs

While we were in Texas my missus and sister in law did a wee photo project. It's pretty funny.

...was insane...we are just coming down to land......



this is a super blurry pic of Sacred Shock at the Broken Neck at 4am. You can see at least 2 of the B&M crew here. It was carnage. I will post more when I get my wits about me...

Message To The World

Jesse Hector has the best sideburns in rock'n'roll, no contest. He was also in the seminal proto/mod/pub/punk rock bands The Clique, Crushed Butler, Helter Skelter, and his best-known group, The (Hammersmith) Gorillas. Apparently someone made a documentary about this living legend last year. Anybody have a copy?

Going Digital...

I avoided a lot of the new darkwave electronica shit 'cos everyone was crowing about it and I like to be the last to get onto a good thing. I picked up a Digital Leather 7" cos Allan DJ'd it once and it blew my head off. Both the LPs I bought were great. Yesterday I picked up the new one from the Blank Dogs (I think both BD and DL are one person.... not the same person... but, ah fuck it you know what I mean). Both these dudes have the hooks at heart even if it is drenched in feedback and distortion.. I dig.
