Sounds Like
"A washing machine on drugs" ... "dishwasher having a nervous breakdown" ... "a riot at a burning slaughterhouse" ... "a fire drill during an exorcism at the maternity ward of an insane asylum" ... "a terrorist attack on a petting zoo" ... "an earthquake during a seance in an ape house" ... "the horrified sreams of a baseball stadium crowd as a disabled jetliner nosedives into home plate" ... just kidding ! Those are quotes from Gerald Jablonski's wonderful "Empty Skull" comics. (Fantagraphics) Actually this Tokafi review of our 10th anniversary compilation OGX really hits it on the head: “OGX” merely emulates what 90% of listeners are doing already: Mixing it up, breaking it down and shuffling their way through multifold playlists and across all style-barriers. If radio can no longer provide this sense of excitement, this adrenalin-filled moment is what could come next and if record companies have decided to play it safe and “tasteful”, then it is up to labels like Old Gold to fill the vacuum. Nothing comes closer to John Peel’s eclectic approach than this and the ambassador of “good music without borders” would certainly have liked quite a few of these tunes. And if you can see the wholeness in fractures, the aesthetics in ugliness, the coherence in incoherence and the pleasure of being shocked and shaken every time a new track begins, then you will too.

Noise! Noise! Noise! Great collaboration between Dale Miller (Brooklyn) and Tony Gordon (Atlanta) is now out - Thurston Moore calls it "the drum and bass album of the year." Another great duet cd by Marshall Avett and Stewart Voegtlin further expands the Zandosis family sound with a great atmospheric reverb to pick up where Tamio and Sean Meehan left off with the Summer Concerts LP. Another Zandosis CD "Nuclear Winter" and the wild freak folk punk out "Dirtbrain" CD (featuring members of Zandosis, Bon Vivants, DQE, and lots of others) round out the madness. More noise coming from Ben and Marshall, Ben Stewart and Rob (Readymades), and other Van Halen inspired antics to come. 2008 be the year of maximum noise/minimum press so grab these hand-painted luxury items, sure to be sold at much higher prices at the New Museum bookstore down the road, hard and fast before they're set in the asphalt with the rest of civilization! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
More Mars is very proud to announce a new series entitled "anarthria"(from the greek word anarthros = the complete inability to produce articulate speech. )
First release would be Fiesta Animal's Secrete formula of Coca-cola. A collective of artists [musicians, painters, interfering individuals...] from Uruguay, that join together their artistic suggestions and give us their own musical Idiom. Music deeply influenced by 80s and 70s no wave, industrial and psychedelic scene but also mixed with Latin American culture. The unorthodox way of the recording and the production, using tape recorders, give us a sence of an undiscovered old tape. Lo-fi aesthetic meets freak out psychedelia and tropical rhythms. A big variety of instruments like glockenspiel, percussions, gitars, sumplers ... and the characteristic vocals of Ana Arioni and Adriana Navarro give us as a result a musical construction that sounds more like a fiesta that leads you to spiritual trance. This cd-r comes out with a six page booklet full of graphic designs by Julia Saldain using scaner, paints, fax, pics, collages and much much more!
The group have been elected in the 'Garita Sonora' call by the Ministry of Education and Culture in Uruguay, where some of Fiesta Animal's most experimental work will be performed and their excellent visual art exhibited.
This release would be a limited edition of 250 copies
Hello To All My Fans! I just wanted to let you all know that I will be making my very first convention appearance outside of Georgia this summer. I am going to this convention, called Ultima Con, in a place called San Dimas, California, which is outside of Los Angeles. It is going to be held July 11th-14th at The Extended Stay Hotel in San Dimas, California. I am also going to be celebrating my BIG 4-0 at Dragon Con 2008, on Saturday, August 30th, 2008, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel's Learning Center, in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia USA. If there is one convention YOU go this year, one birthday party this year, Danger Woman's BIG 4-0 at Dragon Con 2008 will BE THE DON'T MISS EVENT of 2008! Well, I must go now. I have to start preparing to help my pals, Feedback and Major Victory out on Ultima Con. Until we meet on the net........ Yours in the fight for Justice and good music, DANGER WOMAN
