the road to eternal noise has taken some detours of late; three broken computers, vomiting and Diarrhoea, moving house, family biznuss. Still, it isn't a race is it? Unfortunately all contributions for Der BloBb podcast 4 are scattered over a number of flaky harddrives inside dead machines so this time around the name of the game is smashing together old podcasts n seein what comes. AS usual: mixed without listenin.

This is the first set from the slightly tweaked Beach Fuzz line-up with Fliss Horrocks now playing guitar alongside Tom Settle and Nick Mitchell. Seven tracks of clattering drums, chugging and wailing guitars, screaming keyboards, mellow, lilting pastoral improv and moaned vocals.

Recorded at The Bowling Green pub in Manchester on 17th November 2008, when Bridget was on tour with Marcia Bassett, this is a maximal 25-minute set of epic guitar brutalising and deep, moaned vocal incantations. Employing a bow and 'metal' effects pedals, the resulting cacophony is orchestral in scope, rendering almost unreliable the memory of one woman and her instrument. Somewhat akin to Bassett's duo with Matthew Bower, Hototogisu, the deeply layered tones created by Hayden offer, upon first exposure, a somewhat icy auditory experience, but as the recording settles in, the richness and sheer breadth of sound wraps around you like a feather quilt and shifts your perception almost 180 degrees. A truly magnificent set from this former Vibracathedral Orchestra member.

m o t h e r f u c k i n g (lyon, france) Gael and Julien are some bad mothers and they don't mind licking the mixing bowl. They trade minds and can multiply a single gram of thought into the grand canyon of sound, drifting on beamed out, triple-glazed drones. Bright, colourful and jumbled. Considered explorations of sound and comatose rampage, the blueprints already got shredded. Come flip out on their eternal nosebleed as the cogs of logic and reason turn to Slinkys.
s t u c k o m e t e r Manchester vets that have drifted all over are back to revisit their occasional beast. Free rock and rolling drums with guitar and bass that leap octaves and scatter around like roaches in a 10w bulb bathroom. An abrasive, deconstructed, 4-way Rubik's cube; A real winner.
t r o p h y w i v e s MJ and JR put the whippy into the scoop with bust knuckle drum-drums and the honkey tonky nothing bonanza, dead in the face and blue in the throat.
