Hugo Burnham & daughter. ( Source ) Early on: Gang of Four This week I'm completely honored to present the Stupefied playlist of one of my favorite drummers of the post punk era, Mr. Hugo Burnham of the Gang of Four. That's the original line up, kids...the classic stuff, and a real experience if you ever got to see them live. Hugo has [...]

Escucha la nueva canción de Gang of Four, "Broken Talk" A finales de este mes, la banda post-punk británica Gang of Four tocará en Beijing, Shanghai, y Tokyo, donde se prevé estrenarán parte de su nuevo material. Es de suponer que tocarán " Broken Talk ", un corte sensacional que acaban de publicar hoy. Escrito y grabado en Inglaterra y Chinca por Andy Gill , el único miembro original de la banda, la canción aparecerá en su próximo EP, que saldrá esta primavera. Escucha " Broken Talk " aquí [...]

A new Gang of Four track has been released, albeit only featuring one original member. 'Broken Talk', streaming below, is set to feature on a new EP expected during the spring. It follows on from 2011 album Content . The members now include founding guitarist Andy Gill, along with long-term members Mark Heaney and bassist Thomas McNeice and new vocalist John Gaoler. Original singer Jon King split from the group early last year. Listen to 'Broken Talk' below:

Later this month, UK's post-punk outfit Gang of Four will play a handful of shows in Beijing, Shanghai, and Tokyo, where they plan to preview new material. Presumably, they'll play "Broken Talk", an angular, crunchy new cut which they just released today. Written and recorded in England and China by Andy Gill, the sole original member of the band, the track will appear on a forthcoming EP due out this spring. Listen to "Broken Talk" here (via Pitchfork ). Gang of Four are also working on a followup to their [...]

As we noted on Wednesday when we discussed Black Friday and its associated Record Store Day releases , we're not such big fans of the whole getting-up-early-to-battle-oth er-shoppers-for-discounted-fla t-screen-TVs idea that comes with the day after Thanksgiving. In fact, we're much more in favor of the inverse Buy Nothing Day concept, and not just because we loathe shopping at the best of times and thus buying nothing isn't exactly a stretch for us. As such, we thought we'd get into the non-spirit of the day with some of our favorite anti-consumerist anthems. [...]
Amongst the various entries on this week's new release schedule, we were rather chuffed to see a new album by Washington, DC, hardcore progenitors Bad Brains. We'll be honest and admit we'd rather spaced on the fact that the band's classic lineup were playing together again — the last piece of Bad Brains-related material we got our hands on was frontman HR's solo record a few years back — and the news got us thinking about other great '80s bands whose continued existence is a cause for celebration. Sure, there've been a whole heap of lucrative high-profile '80s reunions over [...]

Breeders, los primeros 3 de los Wipers, un poco de las Slits, el Generic Flipper , y hasta favoritos personales como Half Japanese, en fin.. La lista de Kurt es una maravilla. Llena de joyas atemporales y muchas otras que sólo podían pertenecer a la infame década de los noventa, este pedazo de papel ahora convertido en una imagen de 600 x 995 nos dice mucho de lo que pasaba por los oídos (y cabeza) de uno de los íconos más prominentes en la historia de la música.

It's a familiar experience. There's that one mind-blowingly great album you just can't get enough of, an album of epic proportion. Then one day you learn that this beloved artist will be releasing a new album. A sense of dread-tinged anticipation overcomes you. Any potential trace of hopefulness that it just might live up to your expectations is overshadowed by the bleak probability of impending disappointment. It's not that all follow ups to great albums are necessarily bad, it's just that there's a certain discomfort in knowing that we're going to have to move on and adapt. That's the way [...]

I know nothing about music. I just keep listening until I hear something I like. Occasionally, I stumble upon an artist I feel I should have known about sooner. In this case, that artist is Cairo-based Allen Walker . "I'm not a french house producer," Walker declares in his Facebook About page . He is right . Batman "Looking for a Sign" would sit more comfortably in a mix of dance punk next to Gang of Four [...]

Gang of Four: Love Like Anthrax

Gang of Four live 2011 photo by Matthew Thompson) Wondering where a certain record might land in KEXP’s countdown of the top albums of the last 40 years ? You’re not the only one. KEXP reached out to some of our favorite Seattle music writers and asked them to predict what records they anticipated seeing in the voter final results. These aren’t personal Top Ten or Best Of lists, but “educated guesses” based on each individual’s expertise in a certain genre as well as his or her familiarity with the musical universe of KEXP.

I don't know shit about this band called CRYMNL HYGNE but they have enough variety in their songs to satisfy most pavement fans, brit punk and the Swell Maps with one firm kick to the balls. I don't know how I do it but somehow this stuff finds me this way. Which is really is the soul purpose of this blog to make me turn on my bar stool. There have been dry spells at times then suddenly a few random hits and I'm in cheap beer heaven. Mangod I hope there is such a thing? I would [...]
