The Vichy Government: Coventry

The Vichy Government: Coventry You know that their fourth album follows the same format as the previous three as soon as you hear the opening line: "their cocks are glistening with pre-cum". Like before, it's Andrew Chilton's Soft-Cell-ular synth tones backgrounding Jamie Manners' uncomfortably biting satire. It's less attention grabbing than Selfish Cunt but has a similar intent, with supersmart putdowns of everything from globalisation to UK culture and the inherent fascism of revolutionary struggle. From Harare to Pyongyang, East London to 19th century Siberia, no-one escapes an acid attack, which might be a little wearing at [...]

New Kids On The B-Lock

B-Lock and the Girl From: United Kingdom North East tri0 B-Lock & The Girl are a freshly minted trio with a set of old school Peelesque tunes thrown in from left field. They've only been on myspace since April, have had less than 1,000 profile views and I can only find one previous mention on the blogosphere. They couldn't be more fresh if they'd just been picked from the indie pod. The three songs on their myspace [...]

Filthy Little Devil's Fifth Birthday

Love Grenades "Young Lovers" Music Video
Isn't it amazing how time flies when you're having fun. The Devil's favourite independent label Filthy Little Angels, a label that shares the Devil's commitment to unearthing unknown, unheard, unseen, unheralded, unfamiliar or downright unbelievable bands new or old, is five year old! Five years of independence, five years of eclecticism, an average of twenty releases each year, five years of brilliance. To celebrate their fifth birthday the brains behind the label, Woon and Missy and the excellent Captain Polaroid (CP) took time out from opening the presents and stuffing their faces with jelly and [...]

Louis Renault was right

Louis Renault was right I potter about from here to there, then somewhere else, all off the back of some tune or other. Recently grabbed some really nice tracks by The Vichy Government which a Tart posted, including a delightful & moving rework (albeit tongue in cheek) of Stop the Cavalry . The Vichy Government have a fine sense of humour - check out Memo from Turner on their myspace , it's wonderful. That lead to digging out "Stop the Revelry" from 2006, set to the same tune, but a rail against too much Christmas spirit, [...]

More Christmas Weirdness, Oddities and Electro Goodness

While in Munich for Christmas, I was gifted with a night at the Deutsches Theater (a huge permanent "tent" as part of the Arena complex), to see the Guangzhou Acrobatics Troupe's production of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. It's exactly like a Harlem Globetrotters/Nureyev mashup. And don't bother asking about Tchiakovsky, the music was clearly not important to any of it. Piped in, transmitted through tinny speakers, assaulting our ears at varied volumes of unimportance, the "dancers" strutted their stuff and paused for applause at all the "right" times, paying absolutely no mind to the music.

No matter how rare, you can find it in seconds and you can save it onto your hard drive along with the other 500,000 songs in your music library.

Black Kites - Glass Parade
The Internet has made alternative music infinitely more accessible than it was even five short years ago. This has had a huge impact on the music industry as established labels have struggled to adapt to the presence of this new distribution channel. It hasn't however stopped the thriving independent labels, quite the reverse it has strengthened the independent sector by significantly reducing the power of the major retailers. The internet has enabled independent labels to reach out beyond the mainstream distribution channels to market, and distribute music to fans in places that they would have had difficulty reaching five years [...]
