Andrew WK’s been banging on for weeks about this track he produced for the mysterious Aleister X, and quite rightly too. It’s ace. Haven’t heard something so aggressively sleazy as this since the prime of Earl Brutus. Not mention it’s a song that is driven by a chant rather than a chorus, which is always great. It gives music a more primal feel.

Even when the chant in question is BANGERS AND BEANS / AND TIGHT BLACK JEANS.

Especially when it’s that.

Turns out, your Xmas number one was…

Do They Know It’s Christmas? from Scott Aukerman on Vimeo.

I’ve just got into this great podcast/web show that Kevin Pollak’s been doing this year, after hearing Scott Aukerman mention it on Comedy Death Ray Radio (which is also great and something you should check out). Here’s the recent episode with Weird Al:

Merry Chimpy Week!

I’d missed this last year, so let’s open with the chimpiest song to haunt my days and nights over the last year.

This is right in my ball park.

It seems redundant to call it naive power pop punk, how can you still be naive when you’ve been doing it this long? But it still is, in the same way The Ramones were. This is brand new and it still feels like when I was first introduced to them (and some band called Nirvana) by Antoine de Caunes on Rapido! back in (I think) 1991.

Than the theme tune to Machine Robo Battle Hackers (1987)?

BONUS:

More early anime rapping in the ending theme to 1992’s Super Zugan (an early foray into late night anime). Like the BBC’s Porridge, it had no opening theme tune.

Kind of too busy to Urusei Yatsura it up this week, so light posting until the weekend I think. Starting with this song from Garfunkel and Oates.
