atari teenage riot: the arches: glasgow: 24.11.10

3 Comments Posted by on 26/11/2010

dirty, dirty, electronic noise. fuck the digitally sterile mecha- computer precision of autechre and all those laser-cut laptop mathematicians. as much as i love my smooth noodle map being stroked, the id-conquering howling teenage punkster in me will always, always, dig this more. s’like a punch to the gut, a knee to the balls, a [...]

sleazy’s dead…

Leave a Comment Posted by on 25/11/2010

had the good fortune to see throbbing gristle and his threshold houseboys choir project in recent years. even said hello and shook his hand. seemed a throughly decent chap. and still the only show i’ve seen that featured deceptively beautiful music over projections of a thai girl being graphically finger fucked… oh yeah and coil.

sun city girls: funeral mariachi (abduction)

2 Comments Posted by on 16/11/2010

you had to figure that any band who could veer so effervescently, so awkwardly effortless from a stoopid garage rawk take on the batman theme to bizzaro spoken word rumbles to ethnic radio pop to finger-jigging guitar folkerry to psych ascension, who could indulge in kabuki and puppetry on stage, who could captivate, baffle and [...]

Leave a Comment Posted by on 01/11/2010

new 80′s saturated glamorolla from james ferraro, under one of his many conceptual pseudonyms. too much elnett? twisted sister? sigue sigue sputnik? i dunno. worried i’m losing touch here…

locrian: at night’s end

Leave a Comment Posted by on 01/11/2010

restumbled upon locrian a few months back. ugly/beautiful melange of mix-buried black metal, creaking ambient and noise abstraction. and goddam if they aren’t already two albums down before the end of twenty ten. latest is the crystal world, riffing on the ballard novel of the same name. accompanied by a 3d video from raymond salvatore harmon. for at [...]
