It will enter your ear like honey to your heart...
Everything is average nowadays, I heard it (on rotation) on the radio so it must be true. Everyone is sitting on the fence, well that’s what those Kaiser Chiefs are telling us on mind numbing happy-clappy aren’t I the jolly DJ so wacky and cooler than you ‘cause I went to a great Maximo Fallout Monkeys aftershow party last night daytime XFM wireless right now. More kettle and black and pot and no, not everything is average you Kaisers - well it may be in your world but not in ours. Not everyone is sitting on the fence and there’s so so much to believe in. So much out there, if you take the time and make the effort to look, not everything is going down the pan, not everyone is following the craze, not everyone will settle for Kaiser Chief averageness of daytime XFM, not everyone is happy to drown in their average sound however much it may be marketed down our throats. Average will not do and not all of us have undergone some kind of multiplex livestock spiritual liposuction operation. Those Kaisers are so damn bland they probably poo boiled eggs. Oh look, I promised the angry mob of Mogwai fans frothing at the door that I wouldn’t rant again this week and now those damn Kaiser Chiefs with all the charm of a bit of old flannel hanging off a bush have come on the radio and made me go back on my word (and get all screen burnt), never mind the Kaisers, here are this week’s signposts, here’s what’s been getting us off that fence this week... 

Never mind the fence, did we mention George Tabb recently? No? Click on his photo there, the one above, man in orange, see what's going in in his life right now. George just put up a thought provoking blog, those of you familiar with his Maximum Rock N' Roll column will be pleased to see it.

THINGS TO GET SHOUTING  ABOUT? 
THE FIRST ORIGINAL SILENCE - A monster is born, a clash of the the titans! Original Silence is the new band of: Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Terrie Ex (The Ex), Jim O`Rourke, Mats Gustafsson (The Thing), Paal Nilssen-Love (The Thing, Atomic), Massimo Pupillo (Zu). The album will be  released in April worldwide on Smalltown Superjazzz. The band was put together by Mats Gustafsson, known from his work with Sonic Youth, Peter  Brotzman, David Grubbs and groups like Diskaholics Anonymous Trio and The Thing among others. The recordings on this album was recorded live on the  Original Silence Italian tour, the 30th of September 2005 in Teatro  Arisoto, Reggio Emilia, Italy, to be more specific. This is the first in a  series of recordings from Original Silence. There is obviously lots of early Sonic Youth, The Ex and Scandinavia free-jazz in this album. But you can also hear their many influences from Black Flag, to drone rock, to  Albert Ayler, to Boredoms, to noise, punk, Dead C, Merzbow, 1960s  minimalism and The Stooges et al. In other words everything we love, all  mixed together! This is 100% improvised rock. A spontaneous, monumental, raw and harshly beautiful out-rock masterpiece!” so said a Smalltown Superjazzz spokesperson 
 We’ve been playing tracks from the album on Resonance FM already, review of the album next week, the thing is every good as the press release threatens... Go investigate over at www.smalltownsupersound.com

RON ATHEY is without question an exhortation, an inspiration, he is also a conduit. He says he is programmed to carry a message. The message itself is not programmed within, he is a vehicle for the channeling of a message.

Is it still possible to use your body to make an artistic statement in these alternative times we live in? Is it possible to throw it right out there and ask questions? To “break free from the shackles placed upon the individual by society, family, religion and gender (to quote his own biog) through the catharsis of performance, and ritual, to be able to lay to rest the demons who’ve sent us in search of the respite only a knife or a needle could at one time provide” -  Marcia X goes in search of answers, read on here

We have nothing to lose except fun and the joy of watching... That and the words of the good Doctor

Now that's what I call music TV. 

Want to get your video on? Well all you need to do is make us aware of what you have, send
us a link to your video on MySpace or You Tube or wherever, or a VHS or a DVD and if you have something that we want to broadcast then we'll chase you for a master broadcast format and wallop, sorted 

DEMO TIME
Like we already said - we shall no longer be reviewing a million demos, we're just going to tell you about the very very best once a week, no more time for the average, only the most exciting - we're very very selective, when we tell you it's goood then it really is goooooooood

DEMO OF THE WEEK
LAST DAYS OF LORCA – Militia - Now we really wanted this to be good, the packaging was so warm and inviting, it surely must be good? No one’s going to go all the effort of an inviting handmade warmly-crafted block-printed cover like that and then just put any old poop inside are they? No they’re not, Last Days of Lorca are from Chichester and they kind of sound like it, these are the refined restrained early moves of an English band who might just evolve in to something rather good. Mellow, warm, vibrant, kind of Radiohead flavoured and post-rock inclined  - yeah, I know calling everyone who hints at clever structure and a Radiohead flavour a post-rock band is very lazy of us but hey, you know what we mean, as we keep on saying, these are just signposts to point to in the way to good music with mere words. Four fine tracks that hint at Radiohead, 65Days (without the glitch), GodspeedY!BE, Silver Mt Zion and with the start of  I Am Rat, a hint of Zag And The Coloured Beads (that’s the second time we’ve got to name drop them this week, things must good). There’s clearly a lot of ambition here, a desire to be a little different, four impressively detailed tracks for you Radiohead fans who like it epic – we look forward to more, we like this lots.  www.myspace.com/lastdaysoflorca

DEMO OF THE WEEK 2
THE DEFILED – Bruised up brutal pussboiled metalcore, electronic detail and yeah, they tick all the right metalcore boxes. Okay so it isn’t cool to talk of nu-metal or metalcore or whatever the hell it may be called now, who gives a flying yellow teapot about what’s in and out and cool or not cool. The Defiled have a little extra quality, an abrasive confrontational edge, put them up there punching their weight and demand more. Bands like The Defiled and I-DEF-I are out there and thing as looking as good as ever in the UK metal corner – brutal, demanding, melodic when needed, violent when necessary, nice juicy detail – heads down, horns in the air, lock and load, go get defiled. Reecomended metal – www.thedefiled.net

It will enter your ear like honey to your heart...
'NEW ALBUMS WE’RE LISTENING TO THIS WEEK
This week we’ve been listening to... 

ALBUM OF THE WEEK

MICHAEL J SHEEHY -  Ghost On The Motorway (Red Eye) – It will enter your ear like honey to your heart, rolling in right there with that I didn't do it grin and the big fat rain drops, right at the start – Break In The Clouds -  he knows how to open an album as he prepares to pour out his tales and get away with it all in that butter wouldn’t melt way of his, pouring out hopeless barefoot tales (who knows where he left his shoes this time) waiting for that never coming break in the clouds as he tries to cover whatever his shame is this time. Time to hit the road again, get away from the sons of bitches (whoever they are this week). You always feel like you need to wash your hands when you’ve drenched yourself in a Michael J Sheedy album – his melancholic bitter sweet delicate refrains (laced with tails of girls with arms shot through with chemicals) have you heading for the bathroom and ripping up your carpets on the way and oh look, I sometimes think we need to really go way over the top to make you take note – go and get this album! Just go right out and get! We’re talking right up there with Johnny Cash and Nick Cave, (we really are, we are not going over the top here!) we’re talking alt.country blues and the darkside of singer/songwriter downbeat bluegrass and beautifully mellow refined restrained guilt-ridden string-driven gospel of the finest finest order. And you know when he sings that he woke up this morning the next line isn’t going to be about seeing no sun or hearing no birds and all being well in his world – yeap, I was right, next line was about puking up blood and crawling back to church rosary in hand, lord of mercy, strike up the band. Drenched in that catholic gilt of his via a hundred cities and a million bars (and fights) and all the dirt in all the gutters, cut heads and bruised eyes from the night before (no idea why or where). It was always going to be sordidly interesting, the tales of Michael J once he was let loose on the motorways and interstate highways and all the bars of the cities of the world. Still very much that slightly Irish flavoured London thing but this is finest malt alt.Americana and country blues now. Oh hang on, there’s a reworking of Company Man here with those white rats in the snow, a song that originally emerged via Michael’s brilliantly raw band Saint Silas Intercession. Look, one of the albums of the year has just dropped here, he’s always been able to do it, whether it be the previous solo albums or his work with Saint Silas or Dream City Film Club, no pulling up no plastic sheet or tagging no toe here, raising a single finger to the company man – this is a beautiful album, a breath stopping album, a fragile, delicate, quiet mellow weary album, and when he tells you he got disembowelled by a US Marine in New Orleans you damn well believe he did – I don’t think I’ve ever seen Michael J with a bruise or a cut or a split lip, and you know well he almost certainly had it all coming to him. The title track and the siren calls really has you lost on that central reservation, Curse The Day is special, the whole album is something very very special, Song For Davy is beautifully sad and celebratory. There he is, standing all along again, without a pot to piss in, throat as dry as a bone, it isn’t mid day yet and he’s got me reaching up there for the bottle.- ah look, delicate, quiet, refined, battered and broken, melancholic tales of life and demons and the wives of US Marines (see told you he had it coming to him)  and Michael J Sheehy has made about half a dozen albums now, they’re all really rather good and you need them all - this is by far the best to date, just go get it, step in to the strip joint, descend in to hell, then get right on up again and crawl to church, the one with the bar in the corner. Hell, he probably did try to burn the church down, he’s probably still paying for it, he don’t need no doctor, he needs your brotherly love and you really really really do need this album a lot more than you need any absolution, was that over the top enough for you? Have we ever let you down? Album of the year, breathtaking... .   more here

ALSO CHECK OUT 

THIS FAMILIAR SMILE – What Kind Of Monster Am I? (Lockjaw) - Oh this band are annoying, they’re potentially very fine indeed and they’re already really rather good, some of the things they do are excellent. Thing is they’ve got one of those dreadfully cliched, almost slapable, whinny emo-voiced I-so-so-want-to-be-American type singers (they’re actually from Scotland). He’s not a bad singer, he just doesn’t seem to believe in his obvious ability and those lyrics are, on the whole, dreadful to a point of almost being embarrassingly unlistenable – thing is singer boy does have a an inspired lyrical moment or two, if he’s just have the guts to stop wanting to sound like all his whinny emo heroes and if only he’s just stop with all the wet subject matter and the bucketload of dreadful emo cliches  – he actually sings about somebody being “so scene” at one point (kettle, black...), he really does sound like he’s swallowed some dreadful teach yourself how to sing emo book, and just when you can take no more and you’re reaching for the eject button, a rusty saw to take the top of your head off and a blunt spoon scrape away your brain and erase the memory they hit out with another gloriously complex (not too complex) riff and another beautifully refined instrumental passage.  There he goes again, pass the baseball bat. Musically This Familiar Smile are cleverly complex without ever getting too po-faced and pretentious about it - cohesive and melodic, breezy irregular other-rock timings, fine ear-demanding hints of Red Animal War, At The Drive In and the better Deep Elm bands of a few years ago, pushing towards the glories of Zag And The Coloured beads (yes potentially that good), oh but there go those emo-boy vocals again, they’d be a fine fine band if only they weren’t so cliched and “scene kid” – wonder what their next release will be like, might just be rather good if they find the courage to throw out the cliches - www.myspace.com/thisfamiliarsmile  or www.lockjawrecords.co.uk

TWO COW GARAGE – Three (Sonic) – gravelly whisky-throated alternative American Rock N Roll with a bit of a Wildhearts play Jason & The Scorchers alt.country edge – hints of a Springsteen, that and The Stones and a million scruffy Mid West barrooms and all backed up with some rather strong songs, if it sounds like your thing then really rather good - www.twocowgarage.com / www.sonic.nl

ANGEL HOUSE – World On Fire (Casket)  - Some kind of old school hard rock throwback to the days of UFO, or maybe long forgotten Eighties melodic hard rock/metal bands like Tobruk or Heavy Pettin’, the harder side of Magnum. Well produced (by Mark Stuart of said obvious influence Magnum), slick, politely paced, they do their rather unremarkable chosen thing well enough – www.angel-house.co.uk

STEAKKNIFE – Parallel Universe Of The Dead (Boss Tuneage) – Ahhhhh, a fresh blast after a morning of mundane music, why do so many very very average bands and tedious labels insist of sending us their musical poop? Don’t they know we have standards? Bullshit and bad attitude everywhere. Thankfully there are antidotes. Steakknife are German, a punk rock dinosaur from Saarbruken so they say – they’ve done time in a number of bands we don’t have the time to list right now, this is their fourth album, that’s enough facts – hey I got things to do people to shout at. Fast aggressive rewarding melodic punk rock, clever when it needs to be, played with spiky passion and delivered with X factor and a slice of jerky new wave here and there, singer man sounds like Jello right now – frontman Lee Hollis – he of the spoken word performance, writer and Spermbird singer – see bit of a Jello. I like this, I like the spirit, the energy, the spot on production, the black humour, the extra layers and the dimension – fourteen fine songs that have just walked in and save the day just as we were getting set to kick out at the pricks again, no more staring at walls and making people hate and I don’t want to Be the president and nice artwork tooooo, we’re here to burn or something like that, its never too late to make things work, don’t forget to stand when you’re making a stand, who the hell’s been eating the brains of your next of kin – www.bosstuneage.com / www.steakknife.org

Cutting The Mustard - Another week, another social centre under threat. After last months violent eviction of the Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen (see SchNEWS 579) to benefit a right wing, racist bunch of Christian nut jobs, now is the turn of Les Tanneries in Dijon, France. Built on the site of an old slaughterhouse and tannery, 'Espace autogéré des Tanneries' or 'The Tanneries autonomous space' has been around for 10 years, and was given a non-eviction agreement from the city council 2002 after years of fighting for a free, autonomous space in the city. Despite this agreement the "socialist" council have started negotiations - without public consultation - to sell off the land to Générale de Santé, Europe’s largest private healthcare provider who last year made a cool £1.18 billion in profit, and are 10% owned by the transnational Vivendi. Les Tanneries - a centre with cinema, library, housing collective, squatters help desk and more - is one of a number of squats and free spaces under threat in Dijon with an alternative theatre and housing collective also under fire from the council's neo-liberal "progress". For updates see http://squat.net/tanneries/

Two squats in Rennes, France were forcibly evicted on Wednesday by taser and stun grenade wielding riot cops. The properties have been sold off by the council for the obligatory dodgy development, the deal for which, quelle surprise, was conducted behind the scenes. After the inhabitants were kicked out workmen moved in to remove all doors and windows to prevent the buildings being squatted again.

SINGLES
So we have three singles of the week this week, so what? We had a good week for singles and we don't mean on no hornymatch dot com either... Nah, hang on that was the other week, we just forgot to remove that bit about the three singles and what with the insects and the ducks and the bad demo experiences and 

SINGLE OF THE WEEK
65DAYSOFSTATIC – Don’t Go Down To Sorrow (Monotreme) – Pretty much everything we said about the album last week – what 65 have done with this new batch of recordings is make new 65 music that sounds like 65  and at the same time manage to progress in just the right way, go read last week’s album review – basically 65 have done it. (and yes, they’re right, the major cities of this world are being destroyed one by one by the monsters)

ALSO CHECK OUT 
THE SAM I AM – Your Conscience Is Mine (Senf) A maelstrom of indie pop and a female fronted wall of noise, frenetic and throbbing tuneful melody, kind of like if the Gossip had been born in Southend and had a guitarist called Daryl Tattoo.  – www.myspace.com/thesamiammusic

REBUS – This City (Josaka) – One of those Bloc Party type Franz type indie type things, they cover Girls of Film as the last of three tracks, they must have mailed us a thousand times about in the last few month (alright maybe five or six times then), pretty unremarkable cover VERSION, I guess if you like Bloc Ferdinand, there's the link, hit it if you feel like it – www.rebuslovesyou.com

As always, thanks to SchNEWS for their alternative news bulletins - www.schnews.org.uk
Open message to you bands, labels and anyone else with a blog or a My Space page or a webzine or who are generally out there getting involved in a positive way and spreading the word about fine music and creativity and underground/alternative art that go bump in the night. This is how it works around here; we’re perfectly happy for you to cut and paste our reviews and put them on your band/label pages or where ever you want, please please do go spread the word, that’s what this is about – the spreading of information. We encourage you to do it (unless you’re involved in something that’s a little unsavoury like one bunch of nasty little right wing scumbags we had a run in with a few weeks ago), There’s no ego here, we’re not going to come chasing you about copyright and all that crap. All we ask you to do is credit the material and add links to our pages with anything you want to use. Please feel free to use our words to spread the word, it’s how it works – word word word it’s basic netiquette, it’s weblove and only a massive ego-inflated no-mark would think any other way. Use our words, we take it as a massive compliment – please do add the link though, please tell people where you got it from and cut 'n paste away (like many others have already done), the more people who read about these bands and things the better don’t yer think? It’s the underground way.
