GAY
AGAINST YOU – Wall Wizard Part 2 (OIB) – We played two tracks
from the OIB SPLIT VOL 1: 7” that features tracks from GAY AGAINST YOU,
LONELY GHOSTS, MUNCH MUNCH and THE TUMBLEDOWN ESTATE - This is gooooooooood,
four-way split seven inch from OIB Records. Who are OIB? Don’t ask me!
Why are you always asking me these questions? Okay, OIB is an independently-minded
music collective based in Brighton, putting on gigs, putting out music,
making zines – good we need more of this (more more more!). Four bands
or band shaped things. Gay Against Gay are “two subterranean creatures”
who claim to occupy the middle ground somewhere between Cyndi Lauper
and The Locust – they claimed it right! Part of the post-punk-happy-hardcore
electro scene made famous by DJ Scotch Egg, Adaadat and the Wrong Music
collectives, Gay Against You are from Glasgow – Go explore: www.myspace.com/gayagainstyou
or www.oibrecords.com – OIB apparently
stands for One Inch Badger. You’ll find links to all the bands and
such on the OIB website.

MEWGATZ
– Speak And Spell (OIB) – From the forthcoming debut mini album – an
album of DIY abandoned keyboard play, cicuit-bending electronic manipulation,
glitching pre-set beats and gloriously schizophrenic vulnerable lo-fi songs.

10:
MONTY
CASINO – Iltsomov (demo) Ha, what do we have here? A band who fall
(downstairs) somewhere between Art Brut and Don Caballero! (well maybe
a frantic manic Don Cab?) “Hello Organ, we’re a Bradford based three piece.
Someone suggested you’d like our music so here we are!” Damn right! Whoever
that was, we thank you – second track we played since this demo turned
up - www.myspace.com/montycasino

14:
DAS
WONDERLUST – Sunday School (Cool For Cats) – one last visit to the
excellent new single from Middlesborough’s Das Wonderlust. The single came
out last week, they call it “wrong pop” and they do everything the right
way, the single has been picking up a lot of support from the more imaginative
end of the music press, and a mauling from the confused conservative indie
mainstream who are drowning in the sound of their own importance. Wrong
pop is very very right and going off and things. www.myspace.com/daswanderlust
or www.myspace.com/coolforcats
15:
DEERHOOF
- The Perfect Me (ATP/R) - A track from the ever excellent and rather unique
Deerhoof and their latest album Friend Opportunity (came out earlier this

new solo album from one time Guapo member Matt Thompson. The album is called
The Ruined Map (Film Music Volume 1) Limited to a pressing of 500, the
album is nine pieces of music based on a different film. A positively
extreme mix of avant prog, metal, modern composition, Balkan folk and lots
lots (lots) more. No website so contact rashomon68 at lycos dot com

SHINING

www.runegrammofon.com or www.shining.no
18:
PARLOUR
TALK – Gutted (Acid Jazz) Bristolian hip-hop and West Country cool
from the last century – had to play this because we went to see a Ron Athey
live art performance in Bristol and as we sat on the docks outside the
gallery watching the sun go down we could hear Parlour Talk coming over
the water from the other side of the dock where the rather excellent Bristol
Vegan Fayre was happening (Puressence sounded good). Ron
Athey meanwhile was once again rather intense, there’s been some rather
stimulating live art in the last two weeks with the Fierce
festival in Birmingham, Act Art 5 in London and the events
in Bristol – I think anyone who was at Revisions of Excess in Birmingham
last week is going to be talking about it for years, you’ll find lots more
on the even over on the Organ website at www.organart.com.
Best place to find this track is on the Totally Wired Acid Jazz compilation
(Series 2,Volume 1) – www.acidjazz.co.uk
19:
EL-P
– Smitheens (DJX) – Forthcoming July single from the second album I’ll
Sleep When You’re Dead, EL-P are making some of the finest hip-hop out
there right now, full of experimental drive and probably about to break
big so watch that space over there – www.myspace.com/elproducto
20:
XPERIMENTAL
DENTAL BAND – Your Tearz In My Ice Cream (Cochon) - What an album
this is, seriously bendy pronk (yeah yeah, I know, signposts, that’s all)
We’re talking Deerhoof meets Devo and some kind of US new wave chaos and
beauty that involves Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier and the hand of Sir Weasel
Walter – they’re from Oakland, they’re mainly Shoko Horikawa on organ,
sampler and vocals, Jesse Hall on guitar-o-bass - deliciously distorted
art rock and new wave noise, oh yes, as disturbing as the band’s name suggested
they would be! Out in the UK via Cargo distribution this very Month – www.cargorecords.co.uk
or find out more via their website www.experimentaldental.com
21:
VESSELS
– Happy Accident (ORG) A track from the ever excellent Leeds band that’s
