I've been looking forward to this for months. Adam Deibert , the voice of Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba , songwriter, bass player for Bikeride and multi-instrumentals for The Aquabats , joins us for the entire episode of Danger Radio and helps out with the playlist. This is a fascinating episode to say the least. Adam Deibert Muno of Yo Gabba Gabba PLAYLIST: Bikeride - Fakin' [...]

Historical Context Ban Ki Moon becomes UN Secretary of State (I guess they didn't like my suggestion of Ozzy Osbourne). The iPhone is launched, creating great excitement among the large swathes of the population who still seem to believe that Apple is cool and different. The Doomsday Clock is advanced to 5 minutes before midnight. This is not as awesome as death metal fans would have you believe. The Orange Revolution occurs in the Ukraine, leading us one step closer to running out of colours for names of revolutions. Nicolas Sarkozy becomes [...]
We were recently asked to name our top 20 albums by Manchester-based artists for a forthcoming feature for SoundProof magazine . We limited ourselves to two LPs per band and based our selections purely on what were our favourite records. And that alone. Obviously this gives us the perfect excuse to post a load of great music... 1. Autechre – Tri Repetae (Warp) [1995] 2. Buzzcocks – Love Bites (United Artists) [1978] [...]
"We Always Loved the Sad, Sad Songs" – Gaslight Anthem – Angry Johnny and the Radio Music is catharsis, a release for feelings too complex and too important for mere words. One of my favourite quotes comes from High Fidelity, where John Cusack's character asks "Which came first, the music or the misery?" I'm not saying anything new by claiming that music influences your mood and makes simple things like life seem either more or less tolerable. I see the logic in listening to happy music to pull you out of the doldrums, but [...]
Back in college, my freshman roommate introduced me to The Fall and frontman Mark E. Smith. At that point, I never thought that 22 years later I'd still be listening to the same guy and that he'd be doing German dance rock. I don't know if it says more about Smith's longevity or me being stuck in a two decade long musical rut. Regardless, Von Südenfed is here and I'm enjoying it. Besides Smith, the trio includes Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma from Mouse on Mars . Quite [...]
Photo by Jan Glas 30) Rise Above – Dirty Projectors A shitty Xerox on a smudgy copier. A game of Telephone with deaf kids. History rewritten by the losers, translated into Esperanto. Trying to articulate the muck, matching words to the imperceptible. We settled for noise and approximation. We settled for the perimeters, the obtuse, the weird. We carved out corners of negative space, and listened to William Basinski or Decasia with [...]
http://www.dominorecordco.us/i ndex.php?page=artists&artistID =222 Von Sudenfed is the musical collaboration between Andi Tomi and Jan St. Werner, who trade under their more familar name of Mouse On Mars, and Mark E Smith, who has been one of the most creative voices for three decades as the leader of The Fall. Together, they have produced one of the finest musical surprises of the year in Tromatic Reflexxions (coming out in June). "Fledermaus Can't Get It," appropriately both the album's opener and its first single, wraps Smith's urgent delivery in a corrosive funk. "The Rhinohead" veers closest to Fall territory with its rockin' [...]
Photo by Jan Glas 30) "Alphabet City Blues" - Spider Bags G rim pallor of sodium-vapor lamps. The metronome of her heels clacking in time to your heartbeat. December's chill ivying through your marrow. Romance is about proximity tonight, availability, the tenderness of now. Her eyes, you think, were the dull metal color of landmines. She knew forty-nine of fifty [...]
Brainwashed politicians aren't anything new, but I'd say indoctrination by Satan worshipers is a devilish twist. YouTube: Centerton mayor resigns, claims he was brainwashed Mayor Resigns, Claims Abduction By Satan Worshippers CENTERTON, Ark. - The mayor of an Arkansas town resigned on Wednesday, claiming he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan worshippers nearly three decades [...]
The Rhinohead - Von Sudenfed (PilooskiEdit) . mp3
Von Südenfed "The Rhinohead" - Mark E Smith has a tendency to dominate the flavor of any song he sings, but "The Rhinohead" is a rare exception, a track with a bounce so aggressive and gleeful that it keeps pushing Smith out of its way. Smith's voice can be heard throughout, but his words seem shattered and scattered by Mouse On Mars' stomping beats, as though he's too distracted and overwhelmed to form a coherent thought, much less utter a comprehensible sentence aside from the distant and tentative exclamation "I was feeling...fascinated." ( Click [...]
Mark E. Smith, discofied Northern Soul and the silky editing skills of Pilooski are all things we love dearly, so our hearts exploded when we heard this new Von Sudenfed b-side. The single also features a funny Smith-penned tribute to The Rocket so you really should buy it.
photo courtesy of MySpace Feeling like the onslaught of new music this year is never ending? Last year was a relative desert of desert island discs - we've probably had more great new releases so far this year than all of 2006 put together. While it's not looking like we can add Magnetic Fields (2008) to that list, and it seems doubtful that Radiohead will make it through the gate on time, there's still a lot more to come. And this week's offerings add more indecision to your ongoing "best of the year" list. [...]
Per dirla con le sue parole Una session in cui i tedeschi Mouse On Mars costruiscono e destrutturano un delirante tappeto sonoro sintetico sul quale Mark E. Smith canta, urla, parla come si trattasse dei suoi Fall. Per dirla con le mie parole, un disco che mi ha sorpreso e che mi ha preso. La perfetta sintesi tra elettronica e attitudine punk. La perfetta sintesi tra maniera e menefreghismo. Potenza senile. Von Sudenfed-Fledermaus Can't Get It(mp3) Von Sudenfed-Rhinohead(mp3) Von Sudenfed-serious brainskin(mp3) [...]
Lately, I've really been loving Von Südenfed's Tromatic Reflexxions the debut LP from the collaboration between The Fall's Mark Smith and Mouse On Mars' Andi Toma and Jan St Werner. I like it so much that I stopped for a moment to congratulate Domino Records for releasing the record- no really I did! Not that they read it anyway! It isn't like this record is for the masses it must be said, and that's why I congratulate them. Anyway, to the nitty-gritty part, Von Südenfed, genre? In short, the type that you [...]
Earlier today, as what appeared to be the entire cast of Wassup Rockers jettisoned past me on their skateboards, it occurred to me that my life would be so much more enriched if Mark E. Smith would fire his current hired hands (again) and simply continue using Mouse On Mars as his permanent back up band, as he did on the new excellent CD Tromatic Reflexxions . Curb your shock and awe as you dine upon Chicken Yaiamas and [...]
