KOMPRESSOR - Sex Fuck Party

I let Axel do this one. He did KOMPRESSOR far more justice than I ever could.

this is HUDSON P. HUDSON HUDSON, paging any intelligent lifeforms out there, reading this here blog

*no response*

again i have been asked by the big chief to write a sum, a number, a collection of words which when stringed together occasionally form coherent sentences and phrases about a given topic. tonight's topic?

you guessed it,

the internet's KOMPRESSOR with his possible magnum opus SEX FUCK PARTY

KOMPRESSOR, aka andreas kisser, aka drew (author of popular and entirely decent webcomic toothpaste for dinner) is a german techno GOD. he originally burst onto the internet in the early 2000s, the combination of his harsh, tasty, correct and proper german beats with his harsh, tasty, correct and proper german rhymes made a mockery of other's artists so-called 'works.' recent studies show that there has been a remarkable decrease in artists since KOMPRESSOR released his music, with one scientist saying "this happened because many artists realised their work could never reach the heights of KOMPRESSOR, often quitting their creative ventures and joining such things as garbage disposal and curling related mishap insurance policy drafting."

this particular release dates back from 2003, but was only released in 2009 after KOMPRESSOR posted it on his blog. it is culled from his ultimately abandoned album SEX FUCK PARTY, most likely abandoned because he realised he could not match the quality of the initial four tracks.

each track varies in complexity, subject matter and delivery, making a very taste (w)hole. this edition of the tracklising opens with 'erotik party', perhaps the foremost finest example of KOMPRESSOR related antics. it also tells us that KOMPRESSOR parties are 'invitation only!'

the other tracks are a genius mixture of what makes KOMPRESSOR, KOMPRESSOR. this is an essential release to life. it will improve your life immeasurably. if you try to measure it, you will find it cannot be measured. scientists have tried to measure it, but have found they cannot.

you will also find your lifestyle will invariably change, with the flow of KOMPRESSOR's words. as he exclaims in 'sick shit'

'KOMPRESSOR DOES NOT DO REGULAR STYLE. REGULAR STYLE IS BORING.

YOU MUST KEEP IT SICK. SICK STYLE.'

end transmission.

YA KUNT.

Kompressor - Girl From Ipanema

Coming soon: MORE KOMPRESSOR!

Frozen Ocean - Initial Mission

Frozen ocean are the best band in the world. Ok, I'm biased because I love the dudes so much. But goddamn they rule, especially live (as long as Pete hasn't been at his brothers bachelor party all day). If you havn't seem them yet, which I am sure you all have, then get on it.

It is just drums and guitar. It is loud, sometimes heavy, funny, always fucking great. Oh and they are the nicest dudes around. Anyway this is the album they recorded this year, I couldn't find the actual album cover so I just used this, it's close enough. The album starts with 'Mexico', one of their most awesome songs. The rest of the album is fucking excellent too.

I am pretty sure that they recorded this one in a studio (which is a first, I think). The lyrics are hillarious throughout, and it sure as hell is not an act. These dudes are this funny always. Ah what else can I say.. Pete is a motherfucker of a guitar player, he is so goddamn good. And Macka is equally a beast on the drums, also so goddamn good. They are one of, if not my favourite band to watch to in Perth. Their music is schizophrenic, one second you are knodding your head and tapping your toes to a  relatively slow, relaxed groove. The next second they explode and your face literally melts. LITERALLY FUCKING MELTS! no hyperbole, this is a goddamn fact.

I don't think I did this band justice right now. But I promise, they will make you weak at the knees.

Macka said it is cool to upload this, but still you should buy this when you see them. I am sure they still have some copies.

Download

I think at some point I will upload some other recordings of their's. They have alot of good stuff.

Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes - Ame Debout

Dayum, Catherine Ribeiro has a hell of a voice. She is a goddamn beast (with her voice, not her appearence). In fact she is actually a total babe, and French (which i suppose explains said 'babeness'). Oh and in 1971 she released one hell of a prog-folk album, backed by one hell of a band (being '+ Alpes'). I have really gone to town on parentheses so far, I will stop (ha, no I won't).

I will keep this relatively short (out of pure laziness). The first track, the title track, is a fucking monster. The band establish an intense, driving groove, and it straight up rules. Ms Ribeiro then comes in with that voice. Oh yeah, the vocals are all in French (makes sense). I wonder how much I am missing out on by not being able to understand the lyrics. Well her frenchy grunts are enough for me, and far more sexy than English grunts. The percussion drops in and out in the song, swinging between these dreamy sort of moments, with the powerful and intense driving rhythm.

From here the album starts going more in the dreamier/psychadelic direction. It is solid all the way through. I especially like the album in the parts where she is growling/screaming over heavy percussion. It just sounds and feels so primal. Makes me want to get all primal with her (INNAPROPRIATE).

This album is a monster.

Axel 'HUDSON P. HUDSON' Carrington - A Very Important Song About Life Discussions

Here is Axel's infamous egg song. It is delicious. Here he is, the man himself.

ok ok ok. guess who is back, you neverending parasitic lamprey of just all that is just and good? plus unexpectedly touch a damn dick. this is HUDSON P. HUDSON HUDSON of HUDSON P. HUDSON HUDSON fame and yet again i have been asked by the main man dan to provide some writings for this dang old blog of his, again explaining why instead of actually doing something worthwhile in my life like help the poor or exercise i write songs about eggs.

anyway well i had the idea bouncing around in my brain for a while because a) i am generally pretty terrible at finishing songs on a schedule and b) i absolutely love to eat eggs, oh me oh my,

so it was a struggle.


until i was given an assignment at UNIVERSITY (that's right, HUDSON P. HUDSON HUDSON is an educated man. don't let this unpuncuated, uncapatilised style of writing and crummy spelling put you off. this is me doing my impression of john kennedy toole except i ain't in new orleans and more cussing you fucking pathetic SOUL) to write a song. seeing as the lecturer stone cold forgot to set any parameters, except that it must be over 3 minutes long, i just went to TOWN, using a chord progression i wrote the previous week, moving it up a tone and free-associating some damn words.


actually the last bit of that paragraph was a lie, consulting my notes indicates the lyrics went through 3-4 revisions, believe it or not, before i striked the perfect balance between genius and stupidty. instead of becoming a basic song about eggs as i intended, it mutated into a dark aria of sorts, if you will grant me such concessions to describe my goddamned work. it stems from the complicated relationship between my father and myself, with me imagining as a child that we would talk about death, only for him to realise that yes, i ate all his eggs and that no, no i didn't fry those eggs. so he decided to leave the house.


that, or i just decided in a split second to have the line 'fry the little fuckers' in a song and needed some words to build around that key line. you can use either story, i won't mind.


this track was recorded by radio-played producer and upcoming minor perth personality rhys catlin, who did a good job capturing the multi-faceted nuances of my performances. oh yeah i did play every instrument on this dang song, it's my goddamned voice, MY GODDAMNED DRUMS AND SHIT. that's why the drums are so good. although rhys and i have a fundamentally different approach to recording (he likes to work on getting the absolutely perfect take and sound, which is commendable yet not for me. i approach it as if the first take is played all the way through with minimal timing errors or general mistakes, it's going to be the best one, a combination of spontaneity and extreme laziness), i thank him for being very generous with his time. and his gear.


anyway so i have rambled on at length about this, probably taking the fun out of the song for you, the listener and now you probably thinking (this guy a total jerk, he is the worst song played on the ugliest guitar).


basically the gist of this is i am a friend of daniel's, he wanted to posted my song about eggs, i wrote a blurb for him.

Cromagnon - Orgasm

Uh, well... This album is very very very very very very strange. I know the expression "this is fucked up" gets thrown around alot these days, but this truely is FUCKED UP!! It isn't something you would sit down and listen to every day if you consider yourself sane. But the album really is so goddamn good.

It was recorded in 1969 by a couple of dudes making a living off writing bubblegum, sugary sweet pop songs. I guess this wasn't enough for these bat-shit-insane dudes, so they decided to record 'Orgasm'. It really isn't a pleasent listen, and I cannot quite understand why I enjoy it so much.

The first track, 'Caledonia' is downright awesome, and it has bagpipes. Probably/definitely the best song on the album. After that there are some weird as hell tracks with people shreiking. Maybe they are having an orgasm? Or being tortured? Or both?? 'Crow of the Black Tree' is sweet as well, and I really like 'Toth, Scribe I', this long, creepy-as-shit track with a drone running through with these smashing and banging noises that sort of act as percussion. It kind of reminds me of the music in Super Mario 64 when you have to fight Bowser, except it doesn't really sound like it. I think I would have been too scared to verse Bowser if this was the soundtrack. Well this song sort of has a video game vibe.

Stupid comparisons aside, this really doesn't sound like anything else. Really fucked up. Really really fucked up. I don't think I have done a very good job at trying to convince people to listen to this. But do it, at least once. It is quite good. Even if it is only for the first song, which is seriously genius.

Blaque Boose - Winter / Past Lives Owen 7-inch

There are so many awesome bands in Portland, Maine. Here I am stuck in Perth like, which is like 18605 kilometers away (I used a distance calculator). Anyway I ain't ragging on Perth or anything (even though it fucking sucks) but our music scene is so uptight, and just crap in alot of ways. In saying that there are some really really really awesome bands here. But you get the point.

From what i gather alot of these bands from Portland, Maine are into this freak-folk, free-folk, psychadelic-folk, whatever-folk sort of sound. There are alot of them, and they are really really good. You know i may have missed the mark completely, but it seems to be a really relaxed, really friendly, and a really chilled out sort of place. I guess there is something right going on, with the tonnes and tonnes of awesome bands that are based there, CURRENTLY. I don't think I will rag on perth any more, but yeah our music scene is pretty uptight and pretty fucking insecure. The point is, there appears to be a fucking awesome LOCAL musicians from that area, who are still making awesome music and playing locally.

I won't read that back because it is probably really lame and really pointless. Anyway this band rules hard. They are led by a woman named Sheena Charland, who has this awesomely eerie voice. They have this old-time folky sort of feel, but without using any of the old-time folky cliche's. I guess it is pretty dark and really pretty. Anyway this is a 7 inch of theirs, You can order it here. I am going to upload it, but this one I will definitely take down after a bit. I am a little hesitant to upload this, but i found a free download on a website that was selling the vinyl so I figured it should be ok. I don't know what the deal is with this uploading business, I don't want to rip anyone off. If anyone ever reads these and wants me to take the link down let me know and I will do it.

Anyway all that aside, enjoy this.

Bill Fay - Time of the Last Persecution

Ah that sad old story about the genius who was almost completely overlooked at the time of his being a genius. Poor Bill Fay. He honestly is a fucking genius, and this album is a showcase of all that genius. It is so perfect.

The album is raw, emotionally, instrumentally and production wise. I think it works better than his first album, which is all orchestrated and lush. I should try and add some context to this here thing. Uh well Bill Fay is a British singer-songwriter, released two fucking genius albums in 1970 (self-titled) then this one in 1971. The albums sold very poorly, so the poor dude was kicked off his label. He recorded a follow-up to this album in the late 1970s but it wasn't released until 2005. It is all pretty sad, especially since it is sooooo goddamn good. But he has a bit of a following these days, namely Jeff Tweedy and Jim O'Rourke who have covered his stuff. This is how I heard of him. Oh and Current 93 cover the title track, man those dudes are creepy.

I dunno how much I can actually say. The album is dark. The lyrics are beautiful, and really dark. I really like his singing, really restrained. The melodies are beautiful. My favourite songs are Pictures of Aolf Again, Omega Day, 'Til the Christ Come Back, Laughing Memory. That is just off the top of my head, all of the songs are brilliant.

I am fairly sure the few people who read this (if anyone) have heard it, so this is probably redundant. But if you haven't I strongly suggest it. I read some reviews on RYM for it and a fair few people seemed to think it is pretty overrated, so I dunno perhaps I am wrong. Actually no I'm not, don't listen to those bastards, it is goddamn genius.

Royal Trux - Radio Video (EP)

 

This EP opens with some sort of lo-fi techno song with Neil and Jennifer doing their badass thing with their voices, singing I guess. Maybe more like moaning? but moaning words. anyway it works, their voices work so well together. And this first song rules pretty hard.

I guess it sounds pretty different to most of Royal Trux's stuff. There are mad fucking bongo drums. Surely this is making you excited? I am all wet just thinking about it (EWWWWWW!)

Just check it out. It is better than most of their albums. It works perfectly as an EP , I think it may have been a bit tiresome as a full album. Totally kick-arse though.

Also I will try and post more often, I just totally got hooked on Weeds this weekend. I stayed up until 7 am this morning finishing season 2. Mary-Louise Parker is such a babe. I always get addicted to TV shows like this.

The Cherry Blossoms - s/t

This has been one of my favourite albums for the past 6 months. It is seriously incredible. Everyone should be loving it.

I would say they are "Drunk folk"; they say that they are a "shaggy folk collective"; a "sprawling folk band"; and an "unclassifiable, sprawling folk collective" who play "sublime, freewheeling folk." Self described as "Middle Tennessee's finest anarchic post neo-skiffle collective specializing in kazoo-exotica."

So The Cherry Blossoms are from Nashville. I think this album was orginally released digitally in 2000 (I think), but in 2007 it was relased as an LP, with 2 less tracks. My sources tell me that the two songs tagged on at the end were removed for the 2007 release, which is good because they really are throwaways.

The album is so charming ('charming', how gay is that?) It is like these messy, sprawling folk songs that are all recorded very lo-fi. But it is all so endearing and charming (there it is again). If this doesn't make you smile I am going to assume that you are a robot, or german. I was going to say that it was front-loaded, but the 12 songs are all completely genius. I really forget how great this album is until I listen to it. It is only the two songs on the end that kinda suck, but they knew that. I will still upload all 14 songs.

They throw in a cover of 'Godzilla', which doesn't rock like BOC (those bitchin' mofos), but jesus it is a tonne of fun. Yeah, seriously. What more could you want. I am gonna say it, this is one of the best albums ever. Apparently the band still have copies of the LP, but it looks like they only sell them at shows. But I dunno, if you really want a hard copy of the album you could probably try emailing them or something, I might do that. They seem like nice peeps.

Joe Head Joe - Cannibal Horse Smackdown

These guys are so gay for each other. Like, so gay. I know because I am friends with one half of JHJ. I am sure the other dude is cool, but he lives in Darwin. I asked full-time lady-killer and JHJ member HUDSON P. HUDSON to write some words about JHJ's seminal release, Cannibal Horse Smackdown. This shit is rad. Get on it. here he is. Look at him, look at the genius.



this be HUDSON P. HUDSON HUDSON, reportin' in with a delicate message,
 alright you absoutely GROSS motherfuckers, i've been asked by the main man dan to write a little blurb on these here record, 'cannibal horse smackdown' by a group called joe head joe.
 i may be a member of this group.
 anyway, this is a record, this is a FUCKING RECORD!

we (me, cappp'n CAPS, auntie moira and mach oven) recorded it in two nights before i went on a short holiday in darwin in what is usually a post-production studio. well all the basic tracks were recorded after we split a case of beer. then the next night we got some vocals and theremin and other shit down. after i got back from the holiday we worked another night on ukelele and flute solos and then we were done. you can tell the songs on which i played drums because i am really bad at drums.

a quick role call;
 hudson p. HUDSON hudson - guitar, drums, vocals

cappp'n CAPS - drums, guitar, vocals, theremin

auntie moira - vocals, synth i think.

mach oven - ukelele, flute, vocals, those little KORG DS-10 noises on new bins and i think theremin on that track too.

anyway a little story on the title;

you ever seen a cannibal horse smackdown? shit is BRUTAL, man. they completely laying into the each, then the victor just stone cold eats the loser, blood all spraying and shit. personally, i consider it one of the most henious of crimes by the equine kind, but to them they just HORSIN' AROUND!

the coverart was drawn by the cap'n, he likes to draw things.

ummm some other stories? joe head joe recorded and released 4 records, each excellent in their own way. the others are

JOE VS. JOE


LUST FOR GOLF


JOE HEAD JOE IV

i am partial to lust for golf m'self, got percussion and acorns and such. oh yeah back to the album at hand, my favourites on cannibal horse are probably new bins and mud in yer backpack. songwriting was split 50/50, w/new bins and soupspoon being collaborative efforts.

soupspoon was a former member of jhj. she promised to play keytar and wear a spandex onesie. when this did not happen, we decided to wage some music WAR. she really does look perfect in a onesie.

anyway, this is probably the only time this will happen (dan is just like, hella short on content this time round), but i hope you enjoy this masterful piece of art, recorded with the greatest of care towards the finest of details. if you want a hard copy, i got exactly 1 (one) left. that's right, we tried to sell these motherfuckers AND MADE OUR MONEY BACK AND THEN ABOUT TWENTY DOLLARS ON TOP OF THAT.

when my dad heard this for the first time, he didn't say anything at first. he drove out, bought a carton of cooper's sparkling (the family drop) came back, gave me a beer and said

"good job son"

I HOPE YOU DO TO

buy me beer because i'm a poor alcoholic who is constantly being a cock to strangers because of this

hudson p. HUDSON hudson out!




There you have it. There will be more JHJ. GET EXCITED!

You're just too obscure for me...

Goddamn, I love this song. A Verlaines cd just arrived at the post office for me, so I was in the mood.

Alvarius B - Blood Operatives of the Barium Sunset

I read the best description of this album from a review on it on RYM. the dude said "the album made me want to go and take a shower. It was like being smothered by a fat, hairy and sweaty man while a mariachi band played in the background."

This person did not particularly like the album. screw them. this description is hillarious though. If this hasn't sold it for you yet, I guess I will try to.

Alvarius B (aka. Alan Bishop) was one third of one of the most awesome, bat-shit insane bands ever, Sun City Girls. This probably explains the excerpt above for most people, I am guessing. Sir Richard apparently backs Alan on this album. The album is full of these demented folk songs, that according to the liner notes are "based on actual, but unnamed, shady characters of the global underworld past and present." He even does a cover of the Ennio Morricone track 'Dirty Angels'. It is fantastic.

It is less bat-shit insane than any Sun City Girls album I have heard. Hell, it is almost coherent. It is certainly more produced sounding as well, but that is not to saying much. The songs are catchy, and they have this drunken-singalong vibe to me, but they are delivered as sort of distant, like bedroom recordings. Oh, and don't forget creepy, it is really creepy!

I have uploaded the album to megaupload. I guess I will remove the link after a bit. Anyway give this a listen, I am sure most people will enjoy it.

HOLIDAYZZZZZ

This morning at 4am I finished my last essay for the year. My shittiest semester ever was bookended by probably my shittiest essay ever, but dayum I feel good.

Anyway with this thang here I guess I am just going to talk about music. Hopefully my laziness will not prevail, and I keep this going long enough for some peeps to hear some sweet-ass toonz.

I am gonna start this big, bad thang off by posting some songs that will take ya'll on a journey through time to my last day of uni for the year. Here it goes.

10am - I got to uni. I probably wasted about 4 hours on facebook and listening to music. I remember listening to this a few times, feeling like a mega-badass.

Pussy Galore are so fucked up, and their fucked up version of Rocks Off makes it sound so fucking dirty. Fuck. Is this what people on heroin think the Stones sound like? Hell I maybe even like it better than the original.

The next like 6 or so hours I actually did some work and cannot remember what I listened to.

8pm - After setting up on the other campus after the library closed I was surprised to find that I was not only was I alone in the lab, but I was the only person in the whole 3 story building. I spent at least 2 hours messing around on the internet and running around the empty building, until I worked out how to run my ipod through the speakers. sweet jesus this was an awesome idea. I took off my shoes, put my feet up, and was probably as relaxed as you could possibly be with a deadline only hours away, and a shitload of work still to do. Jim O'Rourke was the perfect companion for the next few hours. Felt good man.

(I don't why this guy feels his face is so important, but the sound quality is reasonable)

or perhaps

now skip forward some hours to 4 am (this is weak, I know). I HAD FUCKING FINISHED. DONE ALL OF MY REFERENCES AND EVERYTHING (I can never be bothered proof-reading though). I jumped in my car and listened to the Chills, cranking my shitty stereo as loud as it could go.

Yelling along to this song while driving home in the early hours of the morn' was one of the best feelings ever.

Also this song is so insanely good.

So there it is. That was totally just an excuse to post some cool songs.

It can only get better from here, right??
