The suggested May protest of banning yourself from Weston-run supermarkets is on. Updates on bread-price-fixing to come. --- "The Yummy Fur were a Scottish indie rock band from Glasgow, formed in 1992, and disbanded 1999. The band consisted of lead singer and guitarist John McKeown and a regularly changing line-up of other musicians. McKeown has since gone on to form the band 1990s. Their name was taken from the comic book Yummy Fur by [Canadian Artist] Chester Brown. //// After leaving the band in 1997, Lawrence Worthington would drum for both The Male Nurse and The Fall-influenced art punk band Country Teasers. //// Three future members of internationally successful Glasgow indie band Franz Ferdinand played in The Yummy Fur.

The Fall  Fit And Working Again (Live)   Favoriting Slates (Live)  POPSTOCK / Bella Union  2024  It's a grand time to be a Fall fan, new delights springing from every corner... This (newly released) live version of Fit & Working Again is a joy, backing vocals up & centre, in all their deadpan & occasionally falsettoed glory. I highly recommend giving it a close listen to enjoy the hilarity. "Bella Union and POPSTOCK are delighted to announce the release of the ‘Slates’ Live EP by The Fall out 26th April and available to preorder here. POPSTOCK was created by the surviving members of the Slates iteration of The Fall to present unusual and alternative versions of the brilliant records they helped create. These records promise to be unique in that they are the only new Fall releases going forward where actual members of the group are consulted, involved and remunerated at all. ‘Slates’ Live presents live versions of the six songs that make up the original mini-LP, variously recorded in Holland, Hamburg, Glasgow and London, with these singular versions chosen to present the songs at every stage of their live performance, both pre and post-recording. Lovingly curated with input from the four band members – Marc Riley, Paul Hanley, Stephen Hanley and Craig Scanlon – at every stage, including sourcing, mastering and design, and with sleeve notes by Fall uber-fan Stewart Lee, Slates Live is the type of release that Fall fans have been craving for years. Commenting on the release the band say: “To have the opportunity for all four of us to work together on this release has been a real privilege. ‘Slates’ was always one of our favourite records and these versions not only prove what a great bunch of songs it contains but also how much we were able to enhance them live on stage.”" https://bellaunion.bandcamp.com/album/slates-live  *   0:08:34 (Pop-up)
Moderate Rebels  A Cloud In Trousers   Favoriting A Cloud In Trousers (Single)  Everyday Life Recordings  2024  Released Apr 24, 2024. "A Cloud in Trousers (Облако в штанах, Oblako v shtanakh) is a poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky written in 1914 and first published in 1915 by Osip Brik. // Originally titled The 13th Apostle (but renamed at the advice of a censor) Mayakovsky's first major poem was written from the vantage point of a spurned lover, depicting the heated subjects of love, revolution, religion and art, taking the poet's stylistic choices to a new extreme, linking irregular lines of declamatory language with surprising rhymes. It is considered to be a turning point in his work and one of the cornerstones of the Russian Futurist poetry." //// "A collective of London based “hypnotic sloganeers”, Moderate Rebels release a new tune, “ …an idea we’ve been playing with for quite a while, from an unfinished Russian concept album” called ‘A Cloud In Trousers’ on 24th April, to accompany some UK live shows this week. //// Using the title and elements from Vladimir Mayakovsky’s famous poem, Moderate Rebels set those to music, and found themselves drifting into “a sort of Celtic kosmiche psych type sound, which is fine with us - the poem is over 100 years old, but feels there’s timely resonances there in the language and associated ideas ”. //// The collective released a 21 track expanded version of their most recent 4th album, ‘For Your Sustainable Development’ in March, and are currently mixing more new music to release later in 2024. //// Live: 24th April Broadcast, Glasgow // 25th April Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh // 27th April The Waiting Room, London" https://modrebels.bandcamp.com/  *   0:11:27 (Pop-up)
DEADLETTER  Mere Mortal   Favoriting Hysterical Strength  SO Recordings  2024  Released Apr 22. "A gleaming darkness to a perfect villainous soundtrack, DEADLETTER have been flitting out tracks since the temperaments of 2020's lockdown. Spearheaded by magnetic Binge in 2022 with The Snitching Hour bringing a new colour of groove in 2023, the art-punk collective from Yorkshire have now announced their debut album later this year. //// Their debut, Hysterical Strength is expected to drop on the 13th September. Amongst the announcement, the band’s upcoming tour marks their most extensive yet, with performances scheduled in major cities across Europe before heading to the UK in November." ++ "“It’s about the powerless one has over the concept of mortality, and the brutal, gruelling hunt for acceptance and closure in the wake of a grievance.” Deadletter frontman Zac Lawrence is telling us the story behind the London band’s latest track, Mere Mortal. A song born from personal tragedy following the suicide of a close friend, the lyrics tell of navigating the difficult experience of bereavement unique to every individual. Mere Mortal is also the lead single from the band’s newly-announced debut record, Hysterical Strength, which will be released 13th September via SO Recordings. //// Filmed by photographer and filmmaker Laurence Hills, the track’s accompanying music video is set in a smokey neo-noir world, lit by spotlights outlined by cigarette smoke – think if Jean-Pierre Melville was from London’s East End. Here, the band (styled exclusively in Celine) depict a story of a community brought together by the loss of a loved one; grieving and grooving in the same step. “We wanted there to be a haunting essence of funereally,” Lawrence tells us, “whilst also depicting the idea of togetherness, unity, and community.”" DEADLETTER: Mere Mortal (Official Video)  *   0:17:05 (Pop-up)

Getatchew Mekuria, The Ex & Guests  Almaz Yeharerwa   Favoriting Moa Anbessa  Terp Records  2006  "Moa Anbessa is an album by Ethiopian saxophonist Getatchew Mekuria with Dutch post-punk band The Ex and guests, released in 2006 on The Ex's subsidiary label Terp. //////// Background: The project came together on the heels of The Ex's previous studio album Turn, which incorporated elements of Eritrean and Congolese music alongside a tribute to the Ethio-Jazz anthems of Getatchew Mekuria. The Ex had toured Ethiopia twice and then invited Mekuria to perform at their 25th anniversary show in Amsterdam where he proposed that The Ex be the backup band for his next album. In addition to Moa Anbessa, the collaboration yielded tours of Europe and North America as well as an official live DVD released by Buda Musique, producers of the influential Ethiopiques series of ethiojazz compilations. //////// Live performances: In addition to Mekuria and The Ex's core two-guitar/drums/vocals line up, Moa Anbessa and the tours surrounding it featured additional brass and reed work from Canadian alto sax player Brodie West, French clarinetist Xavier Charles, and Dutch trombonist Joost Buis who had previously played with the band in their Ex Orkest project. The Ex also reunited with Scottish bass player Colin McLean with whom they had toured and co-released records in the late 1980s when both McLean and Andy Moor were members of the Dog Faced Hermans. //////// Album title: The name "Moa Anbessa", Amharic for "The Conquering Lion", refers to a political party made up of Ethiopians who support a constitutional monarchy. The party was created by exiled titular emperor Amha Selassie I to operate as the political wing of the crown. As an album title, it makes note both of Mekuria's support of the royal family, as well as his own "return to the throne" of Ethiopian jazz." https://theex.bandcamp.com/    0:24:08 (Pop-up)

Pita Parka Pt. 1 : Xam Egdub 

Ansible Editions 

2024 

Out: May 3rd, 2024 on Ansible Editions (AE007 — LP/DL) "For anyone at all acquainted with underground music in Toronto, Craig Dunsmuir is as ubiquitous as he is revered. Many locals know him for his profound knowledge and curiosity as a listener, traits he's deployed as a DJ and while working at some of the city's most beloved record stores. His famously encyclopedic vantage point, though, has also served as fuel for the vast musical output he has created over the past 20+ years. /////// Even as far back as 2001, VICE cited Dunsmuir as "Toronto’s unsung guitar god," touting the fact that "his low-key guitar looping pedal performances [as Guitarkestra] have made people actually cry." Since that time, Dunsmuir has adopted an increasingly varied compositional approach, one that has yielded everything from asymmetrical beat-work to churning cacophony, strobing polyrhythms to ambient euphoria. /////// Glissandro 70, his duo with Sandro Perri, served up quirk-infested disco on their lone self-titled 2006 album for Constellation Records, prompting All Music Guide to hail it as "one of the more auspicious debuts to come down the pike in a long while." Following a slew of homespun, xerox-sleeved CD-R releases, the Montréal imprint released another LP for Dunsmuir, Kanada 70's Vamp Ire, which compiled highlights from his various handcrafted outings. //////// When his Dun-Dun Band emerged in early 2016, it marked a significant progression in Dunsmuir's explorations. Despite his ardent and visible support for the local scene, Dunsmuir had (apart from his collaborations with Perri, the last of which were released on that year's Off World 2) largely led a more or less hermetic creative existence; Dun-Dun Band signalled an opening-up of his musical world, seeing him surround himself with an eclectic and carefully curated cast of performers—some of Toronto's finest. //////// Stylistically, the group also expands Dunsmuir's already generous sonic range, embracing elements of jazz, American minimalism, and the mellower end of instrumental prog- and post-rock, as well as traits that recall various African traditions. Dunsmuir's writing for the band orbits odd-meter grooves, featuring spur-of-the-moment arrangements that he cues and conducts. Inasmuch as these spontaneous events highlight the individual improvisational personalities of his collaborators, they also stimulate conversation between band members, permitting a wide range of musical influences and vocabularies to nourish the music. //////// Many listeners will find familiar faces among Dunsmuir's tangled web of fellow travellers. For starters, the band shares four members with Brodie West's Eucalyptus, including West himself (on alto saxophone and clarinet), Mike Smith (performing here on keyboards), guitarist Kurt Newman, and percussionist Blake Howard. Jay Anderson of Badge Époque Ensemble, Lammping and Marker Starling infamy also contributes to the band's percussive dimension, trading his customary acoustic arsenal for a Roland Handsonic, an electronic implement which Dunsmuir has employed frequently throughout his solo catalogue. Bassist Josh Cole, a member of Sandro Perri's core ensemble and of Brodie West's Quintet, as well as leader of Kind Mind (featuring one Karen Ng), fills out the rhythm section, bringing both taut precision and nimble movement to the ensemble's low register. /////// As Jesse Locke noted for Bandcamp Daily, "no list of forward-thinking Toronto jazz artists would be complete without Karen Ng," and given Dun-Dun Band's all-star lineup, that statement is equally applicable in this context. Alto saxophonist and clarinetist Ng (who has been heard alongside everyone from The Weather Station and Andy Shauf to Badge Époque and Orange Milk Records' ---__--___ ) is one of the band's four reed players. //////// In addition to the aforementioned West, Ng is joined by bass clarinetist and tenor saxophonist Ted Crosby (leader of Nomad and Revival Ensemble, member of Isla Craig's band, formerly of Sick Boss). Dun-Dun's horn section also includes multi-instrumentalist Colin Fisher (heard here on tenor), "a distinctly gifted musician" according to PopMatters. On top of having released acclaimed records for Astral Spirits, Halocline Trance and Tombed Visions, Fisher collaborates with Caribou and plays as one half of Not The Wind, Not The Flag." https://kunudusuvuntu.bandcamp.com/album/pita-parka-pt-i-xam-egdub For residents of Toronto, Dun-Dun Band's release concert will be happening on Thursday, May 16th, 2024 in the Tranzac's Main Hall alongside Mira Martin Gray, Josh Cole and Allison Cameron

Atom  Russian   Favoriting In Every Dream Home  It Records  2019  In Every Dream Home is the debut album from Melbourne synth-punk band ATOM. A new project/ collaboration between a trio of Melbourne post-punk heavyweights: Harry Howard (Crime and the City Solution, These Immortal Souls, Pink Stainless Tail, Harry Howard and the NDE), Edwina Preston (The Moll Flanders Band, Harry Howard & The NDE) and Ben Hepworth (REPAIRS, Eastlink). Dual vocals (Harry & Edwina) synth, keyboards, drum machine and scorching guitar make for a razor-sharp piece of dark and edgy synth pop. The result sits somewhere between Chrome and The Cramps, Suicide and the B52’s, with a haze of Hawkwind. Dirty, swampy New Wave.    0:39:21 (Pop-up)
The World  Some Like It Hot   Favoriting First World Record  Upset The Rhythm  2017  THE WORLD are five people from Oakland, California who write rambunctious dance music with a post punk tool kit and an insightful yet short attention span. Their songs typically clock in around two minutes long and are a wild head-rush of Amber Sermeno's funk-minded bass lines and shuddering dubbed-out guitar courtesy of Andy Jordan. Amber also sings alongside Elyse Schrock, who anchors their propulsive songs with some supremely robust drumming. The steady beat is bolstered by Stanley Martinez's flurrying saxophone melodies and Alexa Pantalone's expansive bongo rhythms. Alexa also plays sax on half of the songs too, contributing further to the complex interplay of instruments that make The World's music so immediate, compelling and groove conscious. The World sound like the future erupting out of all your favourite DIY punk 7"s simultaneously. There's the infectious momentum of Essential Logic driving things ever forward, the arty minimalism of Lilliput underscoring the band's lyrical subject matter. Whilst the instinctual songwriting of Swell Maps pervades alongside the manic humour and inclusiveness of Splodge. The World use all these lightning rods as jumping on points to hurtle us all into a new dimension very much of their own making.    0:44:19 (Pop-up)
Casino Music  Viol Af 015   Favoriting Burger City 7"  VO Records  1979  In the late 1970s, high school friends Gilles Riberolles and Eric Weber shared a house in Saint Mande near the Bois de Vincennes on the outskirts of Paris. The cellar was quickly transformed into a rehearsal studio. Didier Esteban, the brother of Michel Esteban , the boss of the Les Halles concept store “Harry Cover” and co-founder of the New York label ZE Records and Philippe Chany who would later compose the Hit C'est la Ouate for Caroline Loeb, joined them in the first formula of a group which would become Casino Music. The group was then managed by Alain Wais, music critic at the newspaper Le Monde, released a first single "Burger City/Viol AF015" in 1978 on "Vid Ordur", the label of Alain Maneval , Parisian radio host. Gilles Riberolles is also a journalist at “ Best ” magazine. The band also spent time in New York recording with Chris Stein, who also contributed guitar on album tracks....    0:48:18 (Pop-up)
Alix Fernz  L'étranglé   Favoriting Bizou  Alix Fernz  2024  Bizou, the first studio effort from songwriter, performer and director Alexandre Fournier under the pseudonym Alix Fernz, is sometimes immersive and vibrant, sometimes scathing and strident, banking on the improbable harmony between candid writing and claustrophobic production. Certainly demanding at first listen, the record nevertheless contains in its psychoactive furrows a romanticism of unsuspected purity, the Montreal artist drawing his inspiration from the raw material of his daily life, from his direct environment. On this introductory album, Alix Fernz voluntarily abandons the Cartesian formulas (verses, choruses, bridges and other tropes) of the pop song, opting instead for a serpentine prose where progressive pieces are linked in a sinuous way subtly passing from post-punk to synthwave to hypnagogic pop. Throughout its most unusual 32 minutes, Bizou depicts, through realistic, frank and grounded poetry, a reality with reddish hues, where nocturnal scenes ranging from daydreams to nightmares parade.  *   0:51:07 (Pop-up)
Diode  Fear   Favoriting LP2  Under The Gun  2024  LA synth-punk drippers Diode bubble to the surface with 2- the next level, off the rails sequel to their already unique, deeply wonky catalog of alienized post-punk. This well-seasoned troup of rockers comprise many great bands from the LA underground scene- including Advoids, Vaguess, and Seudo Youth. Diode is a supergroup of experimentally conscious and fiercely talented like-minded folks making warped, yet endlessly catchy, dystopian rock. With 2, Diode have fortified their DNA with layers of dense, radiating synthesizers, modulated guitars, freaky vocals, and tightly wound, speedy drums. Music to hack the freakin’ system to. This record is a wild, glitchy ride inside and out and has something for everyone- humans and droids alike. Diode should not be underestimated. They are rapidly mutating, becoming more powerful, and tearing through the frequencies of reality one record at a time.  *   0:53:54 (Pop-up)
Tactics  My Line   Favoriting My Houdini  Scenic Drive Recordings  1980  Tactics is a trance-like, nerve-wreaking, attempt at casting off some obscure burden buried deep under black sands, a grab for freedom rooted in sudden experimentation : heartbeat, vocal cords, spasmophilia. Each song like a chiseled architecture flaming forth and blurring pulse and scream and scalding beat together. Each song a self-contained ensemble that stretches beyond its own limits—a network of intertwining rhythms that uses sound as locomotion. Rejection of formal structure and linearity, lyrics that resonate with the band's intricate bundle of sound: creation consecrated again as unbridled force. David Studdert's words combine control and convulsion, mind and voice braced up and contorted. They are mental pictures, limpid descriptions, magnified visions of an instant seized in time and roused to life again...    0:56:45 (Pop-up)

The documentary premieres at the Barbican Cinema on April 20. //// All I Remember, the closing song from Eno, was written especially for the new documentary and sees Eno referencing early influences such as Ketty Lester, Dee Clark and Bobby Vee while the accompanying music video, directed by Anamorph, follows Eno in the past and the present. //// "Picasso once said: ‘Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working’," Eno says. "I don’t wait to be inspired: I start working and (if I’m lucky) I become ‘inspired’. And if I’m not lucky I keep at it until my luck changes. I'm obstinate and confident that I will get somewhere in the end if I keep at it." //// The soundtrack features 17 tracks ranging from early solo outings such as 1974’s Taking Tiger Mountain and 1975’s Another Green World, acclaimed collaborations with the likes of David Byrne, John Cale, Cluster all the way through to music from his latest album, FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE and his 2021 appearance at the Acropolis in Athens with brother, Roger. //// Eno the film [had] its UK premiere at the Barbican Cinema, London on Saturday, April 20, with a post-film conversation with Brian Eno, Gary Hustwit and Brendan Dawes."

Paramore  Burning Down The House   Favoriting Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense  A24  2024  "Miley Cyrus, Lorde and Paramore are just a few of the artists who will appear on A24‘s “Stop Making Sense” tribute album, titled “Everyone’s Getting Involved.” Paying homage to Talking Heads, the record will feature 16 covers from the band’s 1984 live album “Stop Making Sense.” //// The rest of the lineup includes Girl in Red, The National, Teezo Touchdown, Kevin Abstract, BadBadNotGood, Toro y Moi, Blondshell, DJ Tunez, Jean Dawson, Chicano Batman, The Linda Lindas, El Mató and The Cavemen. //// The album was first revealed on Jan. 10 in a teaser clip posted on both Paramore and A24’s social channels. In the video, frontwoman Hayley Williams receives a box in the mail containing a replica of the jacket David Byrne wears on the album’s original artwork. At the end of the clip, AJ Gibboney and Paramore’s Zac Farro are credited as directors. //// Referencing “Stop Making Sense,” Williams tells her bandmates, “I’ve got a tape I’d like to play you,” while the trailer previews Paramore’s cover of “Burning Down the House.” //// A24 acquired the worldwide rights to the acclaimed concert film and re-released it in theaters around the world last year for its 40th anniversary. It became Imax’s highest-grossing live event, earning $640,839 and selling out 25 screens across 165 Imax locations in North America, according to the company. //// The 1984 film was directed by filmmaker Jonathan Demme (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Philadelphia”) and stars core band members David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison along with Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry and Edna Holt. The live performance was shot over three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December of 1983 and features Talking Heads’ most memorable songs. //// The trailer is the only post on Paramore’s Instagram account after the band wiped their socials and longtime website. The move alarmed fans of the group though Variety reported the clean-out was to commemorate the end of the band’s 20-year deal with Atlantic Records was up."  *   1:16:11 (Pop-up)
David Byrne  David Byrne Does Hard Times   Favoriting Hard Times / Burning Down The House  A24 Music  2024  "David Byrne Unveils Cover of Paramore’s “Hard Times -- Paramore found clear inspiration in the Talking Heads for their 2017 album, After Laughter, so David Byrne’s new cover of “Hard Times” seems like it was destined to happen. The cover will be available for purchase (April 20th) as part of a joint 12-inch Record Store Day exclusive vinyl, but you can stream it now below. //// Byrne’s take on the song retains the tribal drums of the original, but adds a healthy dose of brass that sets it apart alongside his maudlin vocals. The result feels more celebratory than Paramore’s version, in which Hayley Williams’ sarcastic delivery gives away the reality check theme of the lyrics. //// “The band told me that their song ‘Hard Times’ was inspired by Talking Heads, so I learned it and recorded my version of their great song with a horn section,” Byrne recently shared on Twitter. //// This version of “Hard Times” will be combined with Paramore’s rendition of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House” for the aforementioned joint 12-inch release. As Record Store Day’s 2024 Ambassadors, Paramore are also putting out an exclusive vinyl pressing of their recent remix album, Re: This is Why. Also of note is Talking Heads’ first-ever release of their complete 1977 radio performance for WCOZ. //// Paramore’s “Burning Down the House” cover will also be available on A24’s upcoming Talking Heads tribute album, Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense."  *   1:19:51 (Pop-up)
Angélique Kidjo  Once In A Lifetime   Favoriting Remain In Light  Kravenworks  2018  This is perhaps my favourite Talking Heads album. This is perhaps my favourite cover album of said album. This is one of the many standout tracks. This is perhaps my favourite of all the Talking Heads "hit" singles. This is perhaps my favourite cover of this song. Everything about this is fantastic. I hope you agree. "Released on June 8, 2018. Angélique Kidjo partnered with producer Jeff Bhasker (Rihanna, Kanye West, Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, Drake, Jay-Z) to create Remain in Light. The record is a track-by-track re-imagination of Talking Heads' landmark 1980 album, considered to be one of the greatest albums of the 1980s and deeply influenced by music from West Africa, notably Fela Kuti's Afrobeat. With her version of Remain in Light, Kidjo wanted to celebrate the music of Talking Heads and Brian Eno with her own vocals, as well as percussion, horn orchestrations, and select lyrics performed in languages from her home country. Remain in Light features appearances by Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, Blood Orange, Tony Allen, Antibalas Horns, Kidjo's longtime guitarist Dominic James, and percussionist Magatte Sow. Visual artist Kerry James Marshall created the album artwork."    1:22:52 (Pop-up)

Pita Parka Pt. 1 : Xam Egdub 

Ansible Editions 

2024 

Out: May 3rd, 2024 on Ansible Editions (AE007 — LP/DL) "Dun-Dun Band's unique interplay has been cultivated through numerous live appearances in Toronto. In addition to informal sets at such cherished local spots as the TRANZAC, the Monarch Tavern, and Wenona Craft Beer Lodge, they've been programmed by the Music Gallery for its X-Avant Festival, by Toronto's TONE and Intersection festivals, and by Hamilton, Ontario's Something Else! Festival (where they were briefly but enthusiastically joined by William Parker on double reeds). A pared-down trio incarnation of the group also recently opened for NYC trombonist improviser/composer (and Arthur Russell co-conspirator) Peter Zummo, for a night curated by Pita Parka mixer and co-producer Sandro Perri. //////// Pita Parka Pt. 1: Xam Egdub is Dun-Dun Band's first vinyl release, comprising three extended pieces, each tracing a rambling path connecting multiple ostinato-driven sections. Tracked at Toronto's Canterbury Music, the record refines the approach found on their debut cassette Riff Ref (2023, Dark Matter Tapes). This LP is the seventh entry in Ansible Editions' discography, following albums by Rob Mazurek; High Alpine Hut Network; Playdate; the Brodie West Quintet; Adams, Dunn & Haas; and Nicole Rampersaud's East Coast Music Awards-nominated Saudade. //////// Jay Anderson: Roland Handsonic. // Josh Cole: electric bass. // Ted Crosby: bass clarinet, tenor saxophone. // Craig Dunsmuir: single-line electric guitar, P___r P____r. // Colin Fisher: tenor saxophone, “Hahahacksaw” Jim Duggan. // Blake Howard: conga, other repercussion which continues to be quite serious. // Kurt Newman: chordal and lead electric guitar. // Karen Ng: alto saxophone, clarinet. // Mike Smith: Rhodes 88, Hammond A105, continued keyboard transcombobulations. // Brodie West: alto saxophone, clarinet. ///////////// Produced by Sandro Perri and Josh Cole with Craig Dunsmuir. //////// Engineered by Julian Decorte at Canterbury Music in Toronto from October 30th to November 1st, 2022. //////// Additional engineering of Colin Fisher’s parts by Josh Cole in the TRANZAC Southern Cross Lounge on December 27th, 2022. //////// Mixed by Sandro Perri. /////// Mastered by Jeff “Fedge” Elliott. //////// Photography by Nick Storring." https://kunudusuvuntu.bandcamp.com/album/pita-parka-pt-i-xam-egdub For residents of Toronto, Dun-Dun Band's release concert will be happening on Thursday, May 16th, 2024 in the Tranzac's Main Hall alongside Mira Martin Gray, Josh Cole and Allison Cameron

The Cosmopolitains  Psychic Joan   Favoriting Wild Moose Party (Comp)  Dionysus Records  2006  American new wave/garage rock/burlesque dance band, formed by Jamie K. Sims and Nel Moore and mainly active in New York City between 1979 and 1982. The Cosmopolitans released two singles in the United States and the UK, touring extensively across the East Coast. With the quirky, provocative live shows featuring go-go dancing, baton routines and buffoonish acts, Cosmopolitans created an original crossover between neo-cabaret aesthetics and pre-Riot grrrl raw, punk energy. The band reunited in the mid-2000s, producing two retrospective compilations and giving one "comeback" concert in August 2009 at Cat's Cradle club in Carrboro, North Carolina.    1:36:07 (Pop-up)
The Delmontes  Tous Les Soirs   Favoriting Tous Les Soirs 7"  Rational Records  1980  Edinburgh's Delmontes released just two singles on indie label Rational Records: Tous les Soirs (1980) and Don't Cry Your Tears (1981). Boasting a poised avant-retro sound and vision (three of the five band members were female), the band anticipated several later indie trends, including C86, Creation, Sarah and TweeNet. Both DinDisc and Zoo Records competed to sign the group, who completed a full UK tour with the Teardrop Explodes, but sadly this potential went unfulfilled, and The Delmontes split at the beginning of 1983. Much of 1980 was spent rehearsing, and playing live dates around Scotland with the likes of Orange Juice, Fire Engines, Revillos and The Associates, at venues including Teviot Row in Edinburgh and Paisley's celebrated Bungalow Bar. The fact - purely accidental - that the band featured three girls and two boys was seen as a novelty, and lead to lazy comparisons with the B52s and Martha and the Muffins. Indeed gender was still an issue two years later, when the band was profiled in Melody Maker: Bernice Simpson: "When we first started, it was all 'Ha ha - ridiculous! How can you have a female drummer?' I remember one time we were playing in a student place, and people were shouting 'Show us your tits'. Now, there's an awful lot more bands with females in, though most of them are all-female or just have a female singer. I still think we're quite unique, but then we were treated as kind of cute and nobody thought we were actually serious about getting anywhere."    1:40:25 (Pop-up)
The Allnighters  Soul For Sale   Favoriting Rarities & B Sides Comp  Allnighters  1987  The Allniters are a Sydney-based Australian ska pop band, founded in 1980. Original line-up was Ted Ayers on sax, Dave Bebb on drums, Stuart Crysell on guitar, Martin Fabok on guitar, Peter Hill-Travis on vocals, Graham Hood (The Johnnys) on bass guitar, Brett Pattinson on vocals and Mark Taylor on keyboards. The Allniters signed with Midnight Oil's label Powderworks and with RCA in 1983. First single for Powderworks was "Hold On" in May, followed by a cover of Bobby Bloom's "Montego Bay" in September, which peaked at No. 19 on the Australian singles charts. This band has had enough past members to rival another TFEB favourite, The Fall, with no less than 25 members on its roster over the years...their last appearance was in 2004 on tour with UB40 in Australia.    1:43:57 (Pop-up)
Sweaty Palms  Captain of the Rugby Team   Favoriting Quit Now  Nice Swan Records  2018  What causes sweaty palms: anger, nervous energy, excitement? The answer is all three, which is what makes Sweaty Palms such a great name for the Glasgow band, who have just cut their first album Quit Now. A fast-paced thirty-five minutes, it’s as idiosyncratic, iconoclastic and industrious as the city that birthed the band. Sweaty Palms – Ronan Fay (guitar), Robbie Houston (vocals & guitar), Shaun ‘Monty’ Montgomery (bass) and Tom Ross (drums)    1:46:46 (Pop-up)

Thee Sacred Souls  Running Away   Favoriting Running Away 7"  Daptone Records  2023  Is it 1970? Is it 2024? If the latter, Thee Scared Souls DNGAF as they deliver classic Northern Vibes for a modern time. This song lives in my head rent-free. Hints of Chicano, Philly, Chicago, Memphis, and even Panama soul turn up here, and while it’s tempting to toss around labels like “retro” with a deliberately analog collection like this, there’s also something distinctly modern about the band that defies easy categorization, a rawness and a sincerity that transcends time and place.    1:56:35 (Pop-up)
