The Perennial Mea Culpa Bulletin

November 25, 2007

Sorry again folks, for the sporadic updates.
Hell, they’re so infrequent, you may well file Kill Ugly Radio under dead links.
Not much music grabbing going on, these days. I could live for years on some of the stuff I have now. I’m still going through voluminous piles of music that I get from friends, comrades and other sources.
Although I don’t do too much blog surfing these days; some blogs worthy of note:

Mutant Sounds - You know ‘em, you love ‘em. Mutant Sounds makes me feel stupid. I pride myself on having had a fairly liberal weird music education, but I’m embarrassed as hell to admit that nearly 95% of the stuff they post is completely unknown to me. I hope that doesn’t diminish my image any.

Dual Track - Loads and loads of golden age industrial music and post punk, with the occasional unclassifiable tidbit, here and there. Really top-notch shares here. I was able to fill some gaps in my S.P.K. collection thusly.

Kill Your Pet Puppy - Don’t really. It’s the name of an amazing collection of articles, zine scans and singles downloads, much of it concerned with early UK Anarcho-Punk and oddballs like Television Personalities. They also have a crapload of old Crass radio interviews, many centered around the infamous Reagan/Thatcher prank tape debacle.

Breaking news: Slobodan over the pond from me has gotten a nifty assortment of scanned Zines (Scan-zines - sounds cool, dunnit?). Right here: www.punksishippies.com

Just to make up for all the missed posts, here’s a video:


The God Bullies - Cemetary

And here’s a SeeqPod playlist I rolled up for ya’ll:

Curious Vid from Fripp and Summers

November 17, 2007

Circa 1982.
Girls dance around in what appear to be diapers and diaphanous coverings while two very serious guitarists play what sounds to these ears to be a variation of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumblebee”.

Andy Summers (from The Police) looks even more serious (to the point of looking cartoonish) than the always reserved Fripp, which is an accomplishment, of sorts.

This album eludes me to this day.

I am a huge Robert Fripp fan. This was in an era of fruitful collaborations with many others and probably near the end of his ‘popular music’ era, wherein he appeared to be seeking to establish some kind of mainstream beachhead with his various acts (King Crimson, League of Gentlemen, etc.). It’s apparent from this video that he has always had a unique idea of what was marketable or commercially viable. This is one of the reasons why I like Fripp’s music so much.

Some Pics of KBOO’s Boo Bash

November 3, 2007

Here’s some shots I took of KBOO’s annual Boo bash.
Many came out weird and time-lapsed, due to the lens I was using and the darkness of the Holocene.
I had a really good time!
