I've been living in this city long enough that songs from my first days in town sometimes feel like they're from another life. It's a fun time to mentally revisit, and summer especially takes me back. The Other Music heads were all over this "band" (more of a sporadic confederation of musicians circling around accordionist Alig Fodder) around '99, and I was quite smitten as well. You can hear why right here. This is like a cubist pop song — about five different potential versions of it all happening at once. Somehow, they make room for each other. Also, there's [...]
Family Fodder - Primeval Pony Essential new material from a band once deemed the G.B.O.A.T. I'll leave this up for 24 hours, because I want people to hear it. The album is now available in stores .
This review first appeared on The Line of Best Fit. “Make it strange / Every way / That you can” is a lyric on the new album by Family Fodder that could easily be band’s manifesto. But they’re too clever to set this out up front. Although this line’s in the ...
“Make it strange / Every way / That you can” is a lyric on the new album by Family Fodder that could easily be band’s manifesto. But they’re too clever to set this out up front. Although this line’s in the sixth track, by the time you get there, you’ll already know how true it is. Classical Music is the oddest and most compelling album I’ve heard in ages. But who are Family Fodder? You’d be forgiven for not having heard them, even though they’ve been around since 1979. Although the ‘early period’ of [...]
Cet article marque le début d'une nouvelle série sur L.A.D.R.I. Nous avons contacté des artistes pour qu'ils postent eux même la musique qu'ils aiment. Le contenu et la mise en forme de l'article sont libres, nous leur demandons simplement à la fin de l'article de nous présenter une de leur oeuvre ainsi qu'une série de liens pour les retrouver sur la toile. Pour cette première je laisse la parole à Turbotito. GO ! Scott Walker - Angels of Ashes [...]
Family Fodder are back after a 10 year absence with their latest album 'Classical Music' released this week. The lead single is the upbeat, slightly nonsensical but completely catchy 'Ancestor's Feet'. As a special bonus I've added 'The Onliest Thing' as an additional track to sample the album. TRACKS: Family Fodder - Ancestor's Feet Family [...]

Family Fodder From: France Family Fodder, a group of musicians based around Alig Fodder, were post punk before punk was even invented so you could say they go back a long way. The avant punkers are back and they are as idiosyncratic as ever. Check out the video to their new single 'Ancestor's Feet' which will be released tomorrow as a taster for their new album [...]
For today's Favourite Five we spoke to the legendary post-punks Family Fodder . Now in to their fourth decade, a new album 'Classical Music' will be released on October 25th and you can find an exclusive free download from the record at the end of the feature. Enjoy! Favourite Album of all time? Of all time? It hasn't been made yet....but here are some runners-up: White Album: The Beatles Deceit: This Heat Court of the [...]
So, initially I was going to call this post the Gigcast because I have spent the last week furiously booking gigs, arranging gigs and very much hoping people will turn up to gigs. Then, over the course of the podcast, I consistently forgot to actually talk about the Yusuf Azak tour I have been helping to book, the Honeytrap gig I have had to organise, the Savings and Loan House Gig I have been preparing and the Toad Records Christmas Party to try and find a home for. This is all pretty much sorted by now [...]
Over the last two or three weeks we've probably received more tracks to MM than ever before. Not that we're complaining, especially when the quality has been really high. It does mean we're struggling to do everything justice though and while (in a perfect MM world) many of these tracks deserve their own post, we've decided to round up a bunch in one go for you. So take a chance, and download something new. First up are raucous lo-fi electro punk four-piece, What Would Jesus Drive and their new EP [...]
Played me some Blondie the other day, and was pleased to find that their first 2 albums still sound as perfectly pop as when I first heard them way back when. That Debby Harry poster above my bed sure has yellowed though. As a bonus, there´s a charming tribute to our Debs by Family Fodder, a British postpunk collective with a female French singer annex sex offender named Dominique Levillain. "Deborah Harry, I´m having your baby..." Huh? Blondie - X Offender MP3 Blondie - Bermuda Triangle Blues (Flight 45) MP3 [...]
Ok. Nobody hazarded a guess. That’s cool, just means I get to keep picking the songs. Sorry, Charlies. The last installment in this madcap string of strange references is the original ode to one of my favorite punk femme fatales, Debbie Harry. Now, take a listen to the previous Unrest track again. Remember how Winona had that shoplifting problem? Well, I think we might consider this a song-lifting problem. Family Fodder is a mysterious post-punk collective, based around Alig Pearce. This song was featured on Rough Trade’s Post Punk 2 Disc collection, which is [...]

Magazine - Real Life (1978) Album Cover Manchester-based post- punk group Magazine have announced the U.S. release of a 17-track compilation of tracks recorded on John Peel's BBC 1 radio show . The gem of songs, recorded between 1978 and 1981, is set to drop in the land of the free (hah) on November 25th. In most cases I really could care less about a Peel Sessions release vs. a regular release - exceptions being Family Fodder , Joy Division, and
Well, maybe not lost, exactly, but out of the way at least. Links, incidentally, will stream the track via Last.fm. Can I Stay With You? Nick Garrie The Nightmare of JB Stanislas , 1969 Although a minor success in Europe, this fellow was, as I understand it, virtually ignored in Britain and America, despite releasing this album, which is really quite excellent, and this happens to be my favorite track off of it. The weather's too hot for this right now, though; it's a wonderful early [...]
