“Party crashers unite” is a blast!

Little blue light
Making pancakes for the family and catching up on Brainwashed podcasts, I caught a deeply fun tune. The opening track on Podcast 102 (and someone’s apparently posting them to archive.org now) is “Party Crashers Unite” by Bullets 4 Brunch and it’s a blast. Sonically it reminds me a lot of the excellent Elvis Vs. JXL remix of “A little less conversation”, but this time the reference point is 60’s Motown soul. The material is also much more heavily deconstructed, to the point that there really is no original song structure left, only colors and ideas. It’s a danceable monster, though, and way too much fun to ignore, even if you’re trying to get brunch going.

It’s apparently from a new Tigerbeat6 12″ entitled The final crackdown. No idea what the rest of it sounds like, but I’m tempted to order a copy for that song alone :-).

Oh, and the rest of the podcast was pretty cool, too. Check it out.

A wonderfully odd pair

I’m currently happily jamming to the latest Brainwashed podcast (#99) and loved the pairing around the middle of the hour: “Cockles and mussels” by Matmos and “Do you take this man?” by Diamanda Galás featuring John Paul Jones. The Matmos piece is a cool, atmospheric meditation on this classic folk song, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed repeating it several times this morning. The Galás song is a crazy heavy beat blues monster on a relationship gone seriously (and psychotically) wrong, and she ain’t gonna take any of his crap any more. You gotta love it when the girls are doing it for themselves…

Unfortunately Brainwashed is becoming the victim of their own good ideas and success, and are apparently running into serious bandwidth issues, which is causing access problems to parts of their web site and their podcast. So don’t listen to them! Instead, buy stuff from them and send me the discs (you wouldn’t want to listen to weird stuff like that anyway). That way they get money, they can keep providing this wonderful service (for me), and I get some free music (from you). Personally, I see no downsides to this plan – so execute it! :-)

The next podcast is the big #100, and they’re asking for requests, so get in touch with your ideas.
