In Detroit on a sunny Sunday afternoon Timmy Vulgar decides to mow the lawn in his little garden. Then a small rubber monster bits his hand, and commence the metamorphosis…  Of course Mr. Vulgar is a totally antisocial character, because the lawnmowing is forbidden on Sunday.

HUMAN EYE – Gettin’ Mean

from the album „Human Eye IV” on Goner Records (US)

I know almost nothing about I Get Mynze. The members are from pop punk band Legendary Wings from Kalamazoo (Michigan), and they play excellent 80s-like lo-fi garage punk in the manner of Jay Reatard.

7″ EP on Pelican Pow Wow (US) and Red Lounge Records (Germany)

The second album of the London based alt-country band Cat Meat, where “Phil’s primary influences are the alt-country of Wilco, the surrealist melancholia of Sparklehorse and experimental rock of Califone, though more than a hint of Captain Beefheart’s magisterial influence can be detected in the lyrics and song titles. Ian brings bluegrass chops and punk sensibilities in equal measure, whilst Barney’s slide and fingerstyle guitar reveal a love of the pre-war splendor of Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Willie McTell.” „Eldritch City Dwellers” is also free to download as their every recordings.

The band’s name keeps memory of a Montenegrin summer holiday.

Jack Kerouac’s novel On the Road is currently being turned into a beautifully illustrated scroll by artist Paul Rogers.

Let’s hit that long-long road
HERE:

Saul Conrad is a classically-trained American musician. Almost impossible to categorize his peculiar music: experimental chamber „pop” with surprising key changes, nonsensical rhythmic shifts, overlapping melodies, and folk elements.  His third album is more listener friendly than the previous two. There are easy melodies instead of experiments. But at the same time it’s a very serious album. Perhaps it’s more serious than the previous ones.

The non-musical influences: Kierkegaard. Especially his book about the despair, “The Sickness Unto Death.” Surprising or not, in Japan the book of the Danish existentialist philosopher is living its own renaissance as anime, manga and video game soundtrack. By the way, always the same thing occurs to me from Kierkegaard (1813-1855): during a night I read through his work titled Either/Or, then I vomited out of the window – but that is quite another story.

“The Four Zoas: The torments of Love & Jealousy in The death and Judgment of Albion the Ancient Man.” It’s a prophetic book by English romantic poet William Blake (1757- 1827). Conrad’s album title “A Tyrant And Lamb” references to a pair of poems of Blake: The Tyger, and The Lamb, about the dualism of nature and God. Conrad sings about alternation of this duality in the human sphere.

And now the gruesome list of musicians who have influenced on this album

Blaze Foley, the Duct Tape Messiah, country outsider, was „a genius and a beautiful loser” according to Lucinda Williams, was shot to death at his age of 39 in 1989.

Gram Parsons of The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers, alcohol, drugs, overdose, 26.

Townes Van Zandt, country music outsider, in the 70s, when the bigger part of his highly praised life-work was released he lived outside of Nashville in a tin-roofed, bare-boards shack with no heat, stayed almost entirely unknown until the 80s, when Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard covered one of his songs, which became a number one hit, and he played at dive bars and lived cheap motels invariably until January 1, 1997, when his femoral neck fracture and his delirium tremens were treated with vodka and weed for good, and stayed 52 for ever.

Harry Nilsson, singer/songwriter, nothing special except for his songs, but a heart attack, 52.

Syd Barrett, the most creative member of the early Pink Floyd, for the most part he wrote the first album alone, LSD, became unable to play in the group, two solo albums in 1970 and nothing more, but a nine parts composition by Pink Floyd to tribute to him in 1975, titled Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Died in 2006 at his age of 60.

Elliott Smith, singer/songwriter, alcohol, drugs, paranoia, suicide, 34. Strange fact, in 1997 he released an album titled Either/Or, which is based on Kierkegaard…

I’m sure, you are very curious

industrial blues where performance and body art
meet improvisation and noise

from the album “Wölfli’s Nightmare” by SUDDEN INFANT
on Voodoo Rhythm

SUDDEN INFANT was started as a one man project by Swiss composer, performance and body artist Christian Weber 25 years before. In May it has transformed into a trio during the recording session with Alexandre Babel (drums) and Joke Lanz (electronics,vocal).

Wölfli le Grand (1864-1930) was a Swiss art brut artist, unconscious father of the surrealism and a mental patient. He used the Campbell’s soup cans as artistic motif at first.

…ilyen és ehhez hasonló gondolatok járnak manapság Magyarország legfaszább repperének fejében.
Bobafett Laci újra odabasz!

Július 26-án, pedig egy időre: utoljára!

RNR666: Mexican Slang was started as a one woman lo-fi harsh pop band in Toronto by Annabella Lee.
Ms Lee: Lo-fi is useful. Alternative rock. Some songs are punk, some a bit more noisy.

Tim Presley writes songs and makes recordings under the name of White Fence. He has arrived from HC-punk to rock and roll of the 60s.  His music is like a mix of Rolling Stones and Velvet Underground. And now here is the glam rock too. At least in this track. „It’s basically about that moment you leave the nest, go through college, live on your own and all of that—basically me until the present, and all of my friends, and a lot of my generation, I guess. It’s very literal, but that was kind of the point. It’s kind of tongue in cheek, too. It’s half-silly, half-serious. If you have friends who have parents who are kind of rich and you see that and you think, „Well, I’m shit poor. What would I do with that money if I was in their position? How would I live if I made a really good salary and I could afford nice cars and a nice house?” I don’t know anyone of my friends that could afford to buy a house, at least in L.A. It’s kind of like, „Am I going to live in an apartment my whole life?” There’s a little bit of envy in it, but also not really. It’s fun to dream. It’s kind of like, „What would I do if I won the lottery?” But it’s also fucking sad because, like I said, am I ever going to own a house? I doubt it. It would be cool though. I feel like everyone could relate to that song. Except for the one percent.”*

„Agnese is a beautiful, sensitive, thoughtful, and strong-charactered woman. She is a beautiful and loyal friend, and will support you no matter what. Everyone needs to know an Agnese. Andrea is a gorgeous lady that one of a kind, the most rare female on the face of the earth; the kind that every guy dreams about. She is confident, honest, loyal, protective of what she has, strong, artistic, beautiful inside and out, excellent lover. A tower of strength for those she cares for, the rock to her family. She is a person you can depend on, just don’t go too far in crossing lines with her or those she loves. Or else you better run and get out of her way… because she will come out and get you. Mauro Just about the best boyfriend ever! Mauro is a person you can always be with and never be bored. Hes funny, cute, smart, talented and everything you could ever want! Very Very sweet! Michele is a very good friend. Someone that is always there for you and never leaves your side. Basically amazing.”

They are FOR FOOD. Not a simple psychedelic rock band from Ferrara.
