Guerilla Toss – "Young Christian Balls" (Digitalis Limited – Ltd #235) 2012

Guerilla....NOT...Gorilla, Toss. Were/are like an Tribeca version of Melt Banana...but only when they have their Zany Female singer.

Without said singer they turn into some lower Manhattan  abstract progressive jazz group  that could easily attract the ears of arrogant metropolitan elitest John Zorn.

In fact, in 2013 they had an album,with singer, released on Zorn's label;... so that shows what I knoe dunnit~?

Dunno why she (Kassie Karlson) was absent on this one, but she's transforms them into ...er....The Tribeca version of Melt Banana....and whats wrong with that? If you're an cultural exile from the Ghetto listening to the bourgeois   intelligentsia slap themselves on the back by being way-out there,purely because they could. Then there's quite a lot that would annoy you on this cassette.

As for me/moi, i'm bourgeois intelligentsia from the Ghetto myself , and they,the under-clas can fuck themselves.If they could have beat me up everyday as I listened to to arty elitest  nonsense like this, they would have.These fuckers grew up to vote for Brexit and MAGA. Fuck the poor and Fuck the Rich.In their own despicable way they are the same old fucking repression that would love to re-open the labour camps for fools like us.The Intelligentsia and degenerate art is the first target of the pure evil that ejaculates forth from the minds of kids denied opportunities in art simply because they never got the chance. Too stupid to realise they could make their own opportunities....... if only they had someone to blame? 

This comes as I hear that the Russian father of a young girl who drew an anti-war picture in kindergarten,is now on the run escaping an arrest warrant. Putin is a classic example of the bitter psychopath,getting his pathetic revenge on the world that he plans to re-name "Greater Russia" (lol) one day, after their non-existant Satan 2 ICBM's help turn the planet into an survivable irradiated  wasteland......yeah greater Russia indeed.......for want of a better word,even though there aren't many better words in the English Dictionary than......TWAT!

Dag Nabbit! I never got around to talking about some Young Christian's Balls!?...maybe next time huh?

Self Deconstruction ‎– "Superficial" (Lost Rivers Product ‎– LRP 037 CD) 2012

 

Another album by my Power Violence combo of preference,featuring ones' new favourite Guitarist...or guitar-wrist in my case, Kazuha or 葛葉. Also she's better looking than Wilko Johnson,so, sorry Wilko, you momentarily slip to second place on my all-time list. 

The Lovely Kazuha

What category of Hardcore to put this in is debatable,but as the lovely Kazuha constantly plays with a smile on her charming visage,I volunteer the new pigeon hole of 'Grin-core'? 

Whatever it is to the purist,it is certainly an unerringly brutal,breathless and complex form of Grindcore.With no blokes in black tee-shirts and muscular arms,or male long-haired satan worshippers to be seen. A rare hardcore group devoid of Homoerotica for the borderline heterosexual Grindcore fan......unless Kazuha turns out to be a chap,which, these days, is totally possible......but I can overlook that.Either Love is blind,or I am?

Whatever!?...Superficial.....moi?....naaah......Ok Ok, I wouldn't listen to this if I didn't fancy the bird...so what?

With 13 songs in the space of 11 minutes there ain't enough time to ruminate on such nonsense.It's Great stuff,and its best not to reason why.

Tracklist:

1 Self Deconstruction
2 Human Hater
3 Merry Go Round
4 Slight
5 Delusion, Confusion, And...
6 Last Dance
7 Band Of The Night
8 Superficial
9 He Is Gone

Jandek ‎– "Maze Of The Phantom" (Corwood Industries ‎– Corwood 0808) 2012

Just when y'all thought it was the end,myself included, i've discovered that one has shamelessly omited a few albums from the long Jandek inventory.
This attempt at some neo-classical modern composition with a gloomy cover, and a female singer doing an impression of Les Baxters "The Passions", being one glaring omission!
Play this one to your intellectual friends,and pretend its an Estonian composer that they all should know the name of.Then sit back and enjoy their struggle to maintain their intellectual superiority.Its up to you if you tell them its Jandek or not.
It could easily also pass for one of Scott Walkers film soundtracks,which would be an acceptable answer also.
Predictably ,a far superior work to any of Sir Paul MaCartneys childlike silly symphonies by a country mile.

Jandek ‎– "Indianapolis Saturday" (Corwood Industries ‎– Corwood 0807) 2012

The corwood Rep, with un-named friends, captured live at the Harrison Center for the Arts Indianapolis, Indiana December 9, 2006.
Was it not Kurt Cobain who said 'Jandek isn't Pretentious, but his fans are'?....well, if that isn't recommendation enough to listen to Jandek records I dunno what is. Basically fuck off Nirvana boy....oh,wait, he has.
Yeah, its pretentious, but like Political correctness ,that can piss off all the dick'eads one doesn't like. Unlike Rock Music in general, which is just 'conformism' in ripped jeans.
Yeah, Pretensiousness, if its done right, can be as subversive as Elvis in '56. I've grown to love Political correctness in the same way.Anything that fucks off 'les Gilet Jaunes' is fine with me. All Fascists and Bigots hate both of these fine institutions in spades.....and i'm not refering to 'people of Colour'!
Jandek's in fine form again on this double CD.The viola gets dusted off again, and there's some flute too, all improvised to the Rep's highest low standards.
As for Indianapolis, the only thing I can think of to say about that is, isn't that the place where thee most boring sporting event on the planet takes place? The Indianapolis 500, where a bunch of boneheads drive as fast as possible around an oval track with no bends or chicanes for 500 miles. No driving skill is required other than the ability to push the throttle to the max for 200 laps, and have a stupid desire to risk death. Some would say, that exactly describes Jandeks never-ending onslaught of record releases, but i would say back to them exactly the same thing i said earlier to the ghost of Cobain....it begins with 'F' and the second word is 'off'.

Jandek ‎– "Atlanta Saturday" (Corwood Industries ‎– Corwood 0809) 2012

For those who don't know, Mondays are Jandek days in this particular prison. This Monday,we find our hero getting all avant garde in Atlanta, Georgia, the state not the country.
Atlanta is the capital city of Hip-Hop, so sayeth the news, after some Grammy nominated Rapper called 'Savage 21'(oooo i'm scared!) was outed as actually being British by ICE, and is gonna be deported back to England, like Jandek, an 'Outcast of (american)Society' after outstaying his Visa by over a decade. Is there any way  we can block this and get this prat sent to Somalia or somewhere similar? In fact could we deport our own UK inbred sportswear donning Rappers and laughable 'Grime' stars to Atlanta in exchange?.....I'll understand if they say No...I would.
In a way Jandek is a White Rap star, but without ryhming anything.Such a concept would be an anathema to our shiny unhappy Jandek. 'Doom Rap' would be a fine genre in which Jandek could be the godfather of.
However, instead of tasty beats and samples, the rapping on this double CD is backed by Viola/Violin,orchestral percussion, oboe and Clarinet, with the Representative improvising on Piano....ocassionaly treating us to some of his doom rap.
Would love to see Jandek playing this to a hardcore Rap audience in Atlanta.....methinks it would be the last thing he ever did on Earth.

Jandek ‎– "Richmond Sunday" (Corwood Industries ‎– CORWOOD 0810) 2012

Its Jandek Monday.....don't worry, nearly finished.Only another 18 albums to go.Not counting this one, which is another Jandek double CD, recorded live at The Firehouse Theater,in 'Waltons Country' Richmond, Virginia,on March 11th, 2007.

Long running prime time depression era drama series, "The Waltons" was set around Virginia.The bible bashing, goody goody characters were often seen driving to Richmond for various forgettable reasons.

Jandek could easily pass for one of the Waltons distant cousins.The ginger hair, the inbred looks, with that slight hint of hillbilly.He could easily have played the role of Jason Walton, the musicianly one with the big ears; but a Jason Walton after he'd accidently dropped some real bad acid down at the 'Dew Drop Inn'.

Of course for the 'normal' person out there, none of these Waltons references will mean diddly-squat. My advice is to keep it that way, unless you like cynical American folk propaganda of the sickliest sweet variety. 

Frequently, especially when soldiers entered the vacinity of a Nazi Death Camp, the odour of decomposing corpses were described as having a 'Sickly Sweet' bouquet. That's 'The Waltons'. Representative of the rotting corpse of the American Dream, or indeed, the American Lie, the 'Big Lie' as Goebbels christened it. The USA is the equivalent of a capitalist Auschwitz but with everyone fenced in to keep the legions of willing volunteers out???

Hands up who wants to be gassed?

Imagine a death camp where the victims fight and scramble to be first in the gas chamber as if it was a 100% off sale at Macys.Thats what the USA is doing to us all. Turning us all into grasping Turkeys gobbling up each others crap to vote for Christmas.

America will eat itself,and all the other little americas will eat what is left.Then all that remains is for us all to eat ourselves.

And we're sleepwalking towards this oblivion.

Its a kind of Holocaust Denial for the coming age......not that anyone ever thinks about tomorrow.

In Jandeks Waltons, also known as 'the Real World', John Boy is in the KKK, Mummy Walton is hooked on Valium and receives frequent beatings from an alcoholic John Walton. Grandad is abusing Elizabeth, the Church Minister is abusing Jim Bob,and Mary Ellen is a backstreet abortionist. Erin is a prostitute, Ike Godsey sells pornography,Ben Walton is secretly Gay,Grandma hung herself in the barn,and Jason Walton is..well..Jandek!?

Anyway if you luckily have no clue what, or who, the Waltons were,here's a clip from one of the most absurd episodes, where Elizabeth is haunted by a Poltergeist. One of the TV moments that rank up there with Fallon being abducted by Aliens in Dynasty, and the Bobby appearing in the Shower scene in Dallas, where the whole of the previous season was a Dream!?.....Click HERE for the jaw dropping Poltergeist episode.

All that aside, you probably wanna know what the music sounds like on this CD?

Its more free improvisation, with saxophone, but that don't mean its Jazz kids. There's a funky drummer called Brian Jones, who could easily be the missing Rolling Stone after faking his death to escape fame......in fact for the sake of clouding the Jandek myth further, it IS Brian Jones on drums. Its the Funky bits that give it away.

Various ‎Artists – "Underground Wave Volume 3" (Walhalla Records ‎– WR 005) 2012

I figure that as the word 'Belgian' has been left off the title of volume 3, that there are other nationalities involved in the running order for this one?
I can spot a Dutch duo immeadiately in the excellent 'Nine Circles'.....the lady in this twosome doesn't like me wery much, after i suggested they look like someones mum and dad getting down with the kids in the reformed version of  9 Circles (She took out a copyright complaint with Google against me,so their works aren't on here...highly recommended); I suppose you gotta get the money in while its there ,'cus it certainly wasn't in 1982. Also i may have suggested that the 'older' male in the original duo was some kinda creepy svengali with an underage girlfriend......turned out to be untrue.
I notice there's a rather  dodgily named group here called "Experiment Incest"???/...Wot?....they must be French I reckon...ahhh bless 'em.They do try. (Just checked, they are indeed Belgian,just leave me with my fantasy that they're really French will you?!)
This volume could be even better than 1&2?

Jandek ‎– "Indianapolis Saturday" (Corwood Industries ‎– Corwood 0807) 2012

This is nothing like most of the Jandek back catalogue; but,If Bill Laswell made this, every muso-bore this side of SoHo would be lauding it as an achievement tantamount to genius. No too far removed from something from the darker corners of the "Complete On the Corner sessions". Joyous free improvisation from Jandek and muso hangers on, producing fine outsider avant-jazz-rock, fronted by a near 70 year old co-ed Jack Kerouac from unfashionable Houston. Outsider Wave anyone?

Various Artists - "Television's Over (Crap Punks on TV)" (Die or DIY? Mixtape # 2) 2012

Keeping on the christmas theme, here's another mixtape featuring a legion of crap punks moaning about TV.(check out crap punk mixtape one here!)
Watching television is the dominant pastime for the festive season, and a very popular subject for useless punk groups everywhere.
I'd do one about chocolate too, but i can only find one Danny and the Dressmakers song. Alcohol may be a possibilty, but we got Television, and you're gonna like it!.
It's a perfect word for punk songs, with its four syllable, sentence filling poetry.
The modern Folk connotations of the subject of TV are immense; so as punk is modern folk music, its as important to crap punk as "Hey Nonny Noh" was to trad folk.
Listening to the classic "TV Stars" by The Skids, one is disturbed to realise that the only surviving person mentioned in the lyrics, is one Kenny Dalglish! Even the Skids Guitarist hung himself! Is this song cursed?
On the subject of Ken Nordine, i was listening to an old John Peel Show from 1979 the other day,as you do; and he played a track from what he described as "The worst Record he'd ever heard". It was Ken Nordine's "Colors" album, which is in fact fantastic! As important a figure as Peel was, he certainly had dodgy taste in Reggae, schoolgirls, and what was or wasn't "bad"! Although "Colors" isn't as good as "Word Jazz 1"(1957), from which we introduce this splendid compilation, with the profound "The Vidiot".
So turn off your TV this midwinter Festival time, and listen to why you shouldn't be watching the evil messages transmitted by the new world order. Resist, resiiiiiiist!.........and enjoy resisting.
