CRASS
– Bloody Revolution (Crass) A classic slice of 80’s anarcho punk rock creativity
to open this week’s show. Needs to be played now and again, well just because
– actually I got a massive kick out of playing all 6 minutes and 20 seconds
of this on an FM radio show – don’t you just love Resonance fm.... www.southern.net/southern/label/CRC
3:
TANGAROA
– When The Door Swings Shut, Draw That Gun (Anticulture) - Opening track
from the Leeds band’S forthcoming five track Day EP - Extreme jittering
flickering metal that may be bad for your heart - find more out from www.tangaroa.org.uk
or www.anticulture.co.uk
4:
SHRAG
– Pregnancy Scene (WIAIWYA) – my new favourite band, Shrag are from Brighton,
this is their debut double A side seven inch single, it’s limited to a
pressing of just 300 and it’s deliciously gloriously spunky girl/boy punk
pop new wave whatever you want to call it – glorious, brilliant.
www.myspace.com/shrag is where
you can get a taste and make contact.
5:
CUP
– We Go To The Zoo (BuzzBuzz?Bang) – Another track (following on from the
three we played last time) from the excellent DIY compilation CDr thing.
Buzz Buzz Bang seem to be some kind of collective, club, underground label
general DIY do’ers up there in Liverpool – this is from a CDr compilation
that’s full of, in their words “hellish square waves” - fine things from
Indica Ritual, Cup, Steal Gandhi, Financial Times, Rhubarb, Kulant and
Binary Toad (did Poisoned Electrick Head put something in the water up
there? Is this the result?). Once again Mr Murdock will put you in touch
via www.myspace.com/buzzbuzzbang
6:
DIRT
– Shady Politics (demo) – New track from those grime makers from PG (Florida),
a new recording and a very first play for it anywhere in the world I do
believe. Third track we’ve played now, I don’t think they/he has actually
officially released anything yet, these are demo recordings. Dirt makes
grime-hop, dirty outspoken politically tense hip-hop that just hits the
spot like no other right now. Good to hear a mention of George Tabb in
there as well - here's the link, go explore... www.myspace.com/dirtiestinthesouth
and if you don’t know who George Tabb is then please take a moment to find
out – Dirt made this track after we posted something about George, that’s
how the underground can work. www.myspace.com/helpgeorgetabb
7:
HAYSEED
DIXIE – War Pigs (Cooking Vinyl) – A southern fried bluegrass fiddles
and banjos version of the Black Sabbath classic that kind of fitted just
right after Dirt... Hayseed Dixie are back in the UK playing festivals
this summer – their albums are laced with bluegrass versions of things
originally done by Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Van Halen, Outkast and even
Franz Ferdinand – they’re on a UK tour starting next week that seems to
stretch through to Autumn – www.hayseed-dixie.com
8:
MATTHEW
HERBERT – The Truncated Life Of A Modern industrialised Chicken
(Magic And Accident) - field recordings all so cleverly put together to
make such amazing music which sounds so stunning before you know what it
is and how he’s made it – this particular track is the sound of 30,000
broiler chickens in one barn, the sound of 24,000 one minute old chicks
in a commercial hatchery, he sound 40 free range chickens in a coop. “
Ever since being fortunate enough to travel the world with my music, my
palate has changed. The familiar English rituals, textures and tastes have
been undermined at every turn. The inevitable consequence has been a growing
obsession with the international language of food and how almost every
choice we are being asked to make about what we eat is laced with deadly
compromises. For example, at a restaurant, do you choose white bread, which
may be nutritionally poorer for you than brown bread - or do you choose
brown bread which contains 5 times the amount of pesticide residues? The
album is called Plat Du Jour - www.platdujour.co.uk
9:
ACTIVE
SLAUGHTER – Securicor (demo) A downloaded cover of the Crass
track. Active Slaughter are back recording and playing again, and making
rather in your face political activist type videos and as much as we would
love to be playing one of their own tracks, kind of fitting after Matthew
Herbert. We probably wouldn’t get away with playing one of their own tracks
on the radio and so thanks to Mr Murdock and My Space you can go find out
and watch the videos yourselves over at www.myspace.com/activeslaughter
10:
CHRISTIAN
DEATH – Spiritual Clamp (Jungle) – Some early Rozz Williams fronted
Christian Death. Back from when performance artist Ron Athey was part of
their creative family. Ron Athey is in London right now for a performance
at the Hayward Gallery alongside Lee Adams - a night of contemporary
live art reflecting the dark visions of George Bataille with take place
tomorrow Monday 3 July. www.hayward.org.uk
or www.ronathey.com
11:
SHRAG
– Mark E.Smith (WIAIWYA) – I love this band, Shrag are from Brighton,
this is the other side of their debut double A side single, it’s limited
to a pressing of just 300 and it’s gloriously shouty spunky girl/boy punk
and if John Peel was still with us then he’d be playing this on repeat
– how brilliant is this!!! www.myspace.com/shrag
12:
VESSELS
– The Beast (demo) We make no apologies for playing another track off the
Leeds band’s very very fine debut five track demo CD. Sublime post-rock
beauty – www.myspace.com/vesselsband
13:
MOIST PAULA – Actually I’m So Busy (demo) – She’s from Brooklyn,
New York, she’s also in a band called Secretary and another called Moisturizer
(hence the name) and she plays a bari sax, it’s Moist Paula’s way of singing,
more from is soon - www.myspace.com/moistpaula
14:
PINK MOUNTAIN – Mastiff Mix (Frenetic) – The avant improviser
US West Coast supergroup who feature members of Lozenge, Cheer-Accident,
Quasi, Fred Frith band, John Zorn, Nina Hagen Band. Another track from
their self titled album that came out a couple of weeks ago - well it is
one of the albums of the year – www.freneticrecords.com
15:
TERROR
– Strike You Down (Trustkill) – A slice off the LA hardcore punk band’s
new album Always The Hard Way that just landed here (out on July 24). Sounding
better than ever... www.trustkill.com/artist/terror
16:
NIALL
SPOONER–HARVEY - Intolerant (download) A slice of intolerant poetry
from a poet from NW London. He has a new book of his work out later this
month, and guess what, like every other person in the world he has a My
Space page (and like everyone else in London he doesn’t get on with Oyster
cards) – www.myspace.com/spoonpoetry
17:
COLD
ELF – Medicated (demo) A slice of very creative electronica from Plymouth
Michigan (If I remember right), I’ll get back to you when we have more
details and a connection, where did I get this from? Ok, I lost the notes
and now I’m not sure...
18:
WILLIAM
D DRAKE - Fiery Pyre (ORG) - A Track off the Cardiacs and Affectionate
Friends CD that featured the mellow side of Cardiacs and their family.
The album first came out back in 2001, it hasn't been available for a few
years, it's back in the shops on Monday. And Monday is Tim Smith’s birthday
and so in line with all the requests your loyalty demands
19:
SHRAG
- Mark E. Smith (WIAIWYA) – Like I said up there how brilliant is this?
And it suddenly occurred to me as the show was coming to an end that John
Peel would have loved it so much he would have played it twice (and by
the end of the year it would be top of the festive 50). We miss you John
and we’d like to think just a tiny bit of your spirit is in the Resonance
studio smiling, it’s certainly in this Shrag single. www.myspace.com/shrag
