Venido a Esto, Va a Gobernar

O yea, this will rule, I kid thee nott. Two top fucking notch acts, one rather fine film about Cornelius Cardew, plus the added bonus of myself and Professor J. Hieronymus Stanehard Cannonbury selecting tunes and playing them to you through speakers*, all bought to you courtesy of Plan B (and Morgen und Nite)'s Frances Morgan. It's at the Whitechapel Gallery too, which is a damn fine place, and the lovely folks there advise you to book for this one. I'd take their advice if I were you.

Fuck Me, That's A Whole Lotta Umlauts

No, not some obscure metal band indulging in a rock dots frenzy, but the best word in any language ever*, the Turkish equivalent of cock-a-doodle-doo, the greatest onomatopeia of them all, and, without a doubt, the finest song title Magma never came up with:

üü-ürü-üüü

Genius.

*Except "plinth". And possibly "spatchcock"...

More Videos, 'Cos I Can't Be Arsed To Write Properly Today...

Two rather fine and exceedingly psychedelic Helios Creed videos from AmRep's Dope, Guns And Fucking Up Yr Video Deck comps which I reviewed ages ago:


Helios Creed - Yr Spaceman


Helios Creed - The Rant

Ouzo-Fuelled Youtube Frenzy Vol.2: Look, Bored Drummer, Bad Sync and Questionable Bass Tuning

I fucking hate everything Deep Purple ever recorded except for "Black Night", it's the only decent riff they ever played and they still had to rip it off of an Eddie Cochran B-Side. Tossers. But, Black Night does rock, so here's the appalingly mimed version from TOTP complete with the aforementioned awful sync and really fucking bored drummer...



And here's the same clip overdubed in japanese (music too!). Well, just the first verse but it is fucking funny:



Finally, here's a good live version, complete with staggeringly patronising engliish rock star talking to foreign audience intro and wildly out of tune bass:



Bonus special track for Joe. Dunno about you, but I think this rivals Sabbath Bloody Sabbath as The Sabs finest video:

Ouzo-Fuelled Youtube Frenzy Vol.1: Comets On Fire, Watch And Learn...


Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh. Genius. Excellent 60s DJ action too.


Quicksilver Messenger Service - Mona

A particularly vicious version, even by their standards.


Frijid Pink - Sing A Song For Freedom

Two things:

1. If y're going to turn into a classic rock band, at least have the fucking good grace to do it this well...

2. Nice guitar fella.


Orange Sunshine - Hush Hush

This Fucking Rocks. Nuff said.
