The latest show of mine on Lahmacun Radio (Budapest,Hungary) is a fuckload of fun for the more mopey moments in one's life. The thunderous black slam, the seethe of the drums, the sharp wonky corrosion of the guitars grinding away in this delightfully murky mix.

Spartan, rhythmic, noisy guitar and drum-driven gothic-tinged post-punk.

A Dream We Had. Live on Lahmacun Radio (Budapest, Hungary). Sunday, March 17, 5-6pm, CET.

I'll play music from; Gang Of Four, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Colin Newman, Killing Joke, Television, Lydia Lunch & Rowland S. Howard and more

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, also known very briefly as the Lorries, are an English post punk band formed in Leeds in early 1981 by guitarist and songwriter Chris Reed, vocalist Mark Sweeney, bassist Steve Smith and drummer Mick Brown

No goth whining here. Just observations on life's various pitfalls and perils, and meeting the disappointment with the kind of fire that will knock you on your ass. I love it.
 Opening tune from their debut lp Talk About the Weather (released in 1985, Red Rhino)

 At once both blissful and nightmarish, Visions sounds like a famous lost 80's dream pop record from a dystopian alternate universe. Countless layers upon layers of Claire Boucher's (aka Grimes) pixie-like, dynamic vocals mesh perfectly with equally thick, luscious synth beats and sounds that are as dancy as they are dreamy. It really feels like a world unto itself. The 80's almost Casio sound like production gives it an experimental edge. Icy, ethereal electropop brilliance.

36 - Trance Anthems For A Sunken Generation

 "There's a cruel levity attached to the title of this album. Those wonderful, naive visions we had of the future simply never materialised. In a world that is increasingly hostile to optimism, it's easy to become lost in the murk.
'Trance Anthems For A Sunken Generation' thrives in this negative energy. It's an aggressive inversion of the usual 36 sound. Euphoric synths are torn apart. Melody becomes fractured and beaten into submission. The rush is cold; The breakdown of sound is closer to that of collapse.
How are you expected to put your hands in the air when you can't even rise from your knees?" - 36
