The B-52's  Dance This Mess Around   Favoriting The B-52's  Warner Bros.  1979  This is the song from which our loose theme for tonight's show is drawn. "They Do All 16 Dances" Fun fact, the song only lists eight of "all 16 dances". Those would be (in order of appearance) The Shu Ga Loo, The Shy Tuna, The Camel Walk, The Hip O Crit, The Coo Ca Choo, The Aqua Velva, The Dirty Dog, The Escalator. If you want to count The Hippy Shake, then I guess there's 9 dances mentioned. I wonder how many they considered and/or invented while writing the song. I like that they decided to leave some to the listener's imagination. I wonder when they consciously decided to leave some out. These are things I think about sometimes.    0:00:47 (Pop-up)

Lamps  Confirmed Frenchman   Favoriting People With Faces  In The Red  2020  Creators of cantankerous, chaotic L.A. garage punk, Lamps made their reputation with a noisy, stripped-down sound seasoned with occasional bursts of electronic anarchy as the band pounded out the beat. They are the brainchild of singer and guitarist Monty Buckles and drummer Josh Erkman. Buckles is also a filmaker and video director for bands of note...this last album was produced by Ty Seagall, and it shows!    0:09:44 (Pop-up)
Wine Lips  Kamikaze   Favoriting Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party  Stomp  2021  Wine Lips are from Toronto. This garage rock band wear their pants short and their guitars high. Wine Lips is Cam Hilborn on Guitar and Vocals with Aurora Evans on Drums, Jordan Sosensky on Guitar and Charlie Weare on Bass. They are currently on tour in Quebec and Southern Ontario and head to Europe in November. We wish them well!    0:11:17 (Pop-up)
Smirk  Eyes Conversing   Favoriting LP  Feel It Records  2021  Hailing from Los Angeles and coated in a layer of warbled analog glory comes the debut full length album from Smirk, the solo project helmed by Nick Vicario (Public Eye, Crisis Man). A trebly & wiry punk sound comes into effect straight out of the gate, reminiscent of the early Dangerhouse Records singles as well as the “Bloodstains Across...” comps (to be more precise). But there's far more to Smirk - with great songwriting, precision, and instrumentation that seem to emanate from a past that never was, bursting any preconceived sub-genre bubbles from this reality and those parallel to it.    0:14:07 (Pop-up)
Humour  yeah, mud!   Favoriting yeah, mud! - Single  So Young Records  2022  Humour are from Glasgow. “This song was one that just came to us,” the band explain. “I think it came together in less than an hour and everything just seemed to fit first time. A lot of the lyrics are inspired by an old book Andreas read. In this book a soldier realises he’s about to die and writes his mother a note. I think it’s interesting to think about what you might have to say if you realised you were going to die in a few minutes, and what you’d then say to your mother. Lots of pressure to come up with something important.”    0:16:29 (Pop-up)
Mush  Drink The Bleach   Favoriting Lines Redacted  Memphis Records  2021  mush formed in 2015, its first iteration being as a five-piece noise band with three guitars. Rallying against aggravating, absurd political realities with passion and humor, the Leeds post-punks offer a tongue-in-cheek counterpoint to dourer contemporaries. By acknowledging the aggravating, absurd reality, then rallying against it with passion and humor, Mush’s lyrical themes share more with New York bands like Parquet Courts or BODEGA. Mush first earned attention with their 2017 single “Alternative Facts,” named for the nonsense phrase Kellyanne Conway used to justify former White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s lies about the size of the crowd at Donald Trump’s inauguration. Nearly 10 minutes long, the song became a surprise favorite of BBC Radio 6 DJ Marc Riley, showcasing both the group’s duelling six-string pyrotechnics and topical takes on current events.    0:19:18 (Pop-up)

Pere Ubu  The Modern Dance   Favoriting The Modern Dance  Rough Trade / DGC  1978  Debut album from Cleveland "Rust Belt" avant-garage/proto-punk band Pere Ubu, whose first single was self-released in 1975. "The song features a repeated refrain of “Merdre, merdre,” which is a sly reference to the inspiration for the band’s name. In the play “Ubu Roi” by Alfred Jerry, the first line uttered by the character Ubu when he enters is “Merdre!” (Usually translated as “Shit!”) It created quite a scandal at the time."    0:30:38 (Pop-up)
Simply Saucer  Dance The Mutation   Favoriting Cyborgs Revisited (Archival recordings from the first wave)  Sonic Unyon Records  1974+5 / 2018  Debut album (originally released 15 years after the fact) from Hamilton's "Rust Belt" Proto-Punk band Simply Saucer. I love songs that encourage the listener to do dances that don't exist. I wanted this whole set to be that, but I eventually got distracted by a "Deadbeat" theme. "Simply Saucer is a Canadian rock band formed during the 1970s. Based in Hamilton, Ontario, the band consisted of guitarist and vocalist Edgar Breau,bass guitarist Kevin Christoff, syth player, Ping Romany and drummer Neil DeMarchant. "The band's style has been described as a hybrid of proto-punk and psychedelia and they form a "Rust-belt punk" style, along with The Stooges, MC5, and Rocket From The Tombs. The group's references also included German Krautrock pioneers, Can, the early Pink Floyd and avante Classical music composer, Karlheinz Stockhausen." - "Though Simply Saucer had the guts to bring together tremendous influences from rock's past, including the Velvet Underground, early Pink Floyd, and the Stooges, the band was hardly noticed outside of its local area." "In 1974 Simply Saucer recorded their posthumously acclaimed cult classic, Cyborgs Revisited." "Jesse Locke, the band's biographer, writes in the liner notes: Simply Saucer’s Cyborgs Revisited is an explosive time capsule from one of the great Canadian cult rock ‘n’ roll groups. Formed on the hardscrabble streets of Hamilton, Ontario, these sci-fried proto-punks created a sound fusing Hawkwind, The Kinks, Pink Fairies, Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, and the omnipresent Velvet Underground. Originally recorded from 1974-1975, the album became a critically revered classic when it was finally unearthed in 1989 by Hamilton Ontario Indie label, Mole Sound Recordings, helmed by music journalist, Bruce Mowat."    0:34:09 (Pop-up)
The Fall  Dead Beat Descendant   Favoriting Seminal Live  Beggars Banquet  1989  I love that "Seminal Live" is only half-live. The first side of the LP was recorded in a studio. I also love songs that instruct you to do a dance that doesn't really exist. "This dance can be pure hell / Enter at your peril / Take five deadbeat steps / Do a stroll Act like you just got outta jail / You must be repellant / Dance deadbeat descendant... Come back here, Come back here / Turn left side and shout come back here / Then hot-tail it right outta there / You are now descendant... Make out your head is in a bell / And you got a man on your trail / And you are descendent, of a vicious criminal..." Excellent! As always, start your research of The Fall here: thefall.org    0:38:41 (Pop-up)
Clone Your Own  Dead Beat Disco   Favoriting A House Where I Lived  Human Tourist Records  2020  Here comes the Dead Beat rabbit hole... This project seems to be from our own Toronto-area. Or Vancouver, British Columbia. Or both. Not sure yet. They reportedly have listeners in Barrie, Toronto, Victoria, Los Angeles & Kitchener. It is the solo project started by multi-instrumentalist Gabe Beneteau, in the fall of 2017. With only one demo and a handful of singles since the project's inception, 2020 saw the drop of Clone Your Own's debut EP "A House Where I Lived". Clone Your Own (Bandcamp)    0:41:02 (Pop-up)
Wine Lips  Dead Beat   Favoriting Wine Lips  Self-Released  2017  Play them twice in the same hour? Yes! And in the future, too, I'm sure. "Toronto based garage punk psych rockers, Wine Lips hit the stage for the first time in the fall of 2015. Initially a part time project between songwriter/guitar player, Cam Hilborn and drummer Aurora Evans, the band began playing clubs in Toronto, stretching organically to surrounding cities, and then into Quebec. By mid 2017 it was clear that the band members were ready to make a full-time commitment."    0:43:31 (Pop-up)

The English Dancing Master EP 

CNT 

1983 

From a limited edition EP that seems not to have been repressed since its release in 1983, though this song has found its way onto bonus tracks and compilations a couple of times. Three (out of 4) songs on the EP have "dance" in the title. "The Last Dance" / "(A Dancing Master Such As) Mr. Confess" & "No Country Dance". That's what brought it to mind & got it pulled off the shelf.

The band's current line-up consists of Stu Mackenzie, Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Cook Craig, Joey Walker, Lucas Harwood and Michael Cavanagh."    0:48:00 (Pop-up)

Chewy She  Mustard   Favoriting Mustard Single  CHEWY SHE  2022  Chewy She is an experimental disco punk pop patriarchy fighting artist based in London. We have played her other single "Je Suis Nue et Il Est Habille" previously and I'm thrilled to say that "Mustard" is just as delightful, though slightly more compact. Chewy She is also known as Garance Louis, who has collaborated in studios with Andy Ramsay (Stereolab), Eddie Stevens (Roisin Murphy). I can't wait to hear more!!!  *   1:00:29 (Pop-up)
The Wibbley Brothers  Der Wawazawa   Favoriting Go Weird  Rondelay Records  1982  The Wibbley Brothers were formed in 1977 by English twin brothers Ronnie and Terry Wibbley. Their first record release, the "Dark Side Of The Mune" EP, came in 1981. "Der Wawazawa" followed in 1982, recorded at Spaceward Studios for their first Rondelet Records album "Go Weird". The LP was re-released on Trubshaw's Astonishing Records in 2015 and the Wibbley Brothers returned to occasional live performance. They continued to record throughout the decades however, and the "difficult second album" showcasing the best of that material was finally released, some 38 years after its predecessor, in December 2020 under the title "Mornin' Jack". This album is definitely worth a listen, it's QUITE the trip.    1:02:46 (Pop-up)
Christeen  BEAUCOUP MOROCCO   Favoriting BEAUCOUP MOROCCO  Spaceflight Records  2022  Christeene Vale, known mononymously as Christeene, is an American drag queen, performance artist, singer-songwriter and rapper. Christeene is noted for untraditional, "terrorist drag," which features her wearing torn-up clothing, stringy matted black wigs, and heavy and smeared makeup with aims to expose hypocrisy and intolerance. Christeene describes themselves as a genderqueer "drag terrorist," and is influenced by Jayne County and Bruce LaBruce's use of non-heteronormative gender roles and sexuality. Chelsea Weathers of Art Lies compared Christeene's "drag terrorism," sexual and racial commentary to Vaginal Davis: "the reflection Christeene offers includes the necessarily unsanitized underbelly of queer experience—the ambiguity of identifying as queer and the anger and humor that is part and parcel of that experience"    1:06:17 (Pop-up)
Asphixiation  The Crush   Favoriting What is This Thing Called 'Disco'?  Chapter Music  2007  “What Is This Thing Called ‘Disco’?” is a landmark Australian post-punk artefact, originally released in 1981 as an LP with accompanying 12” single. One of the first records from the Australian underground to incor-porate disco elements into the reigning post-punk aesthetic, “What Is This Thing Called ‘Disco’?” sits alongside records by international counterparts Flying Lizards and Yellow Magic Orchestra in its combination of art school formalism and dancefloor hedonism. Asphixiation was a one-off side project for Melbourne provocateur Philip Brophy, whose decade-long investigation into the aesthetics of punk, electronic and dance music began in the late 1970s. “What Is This Thing Called ‘Disco’?” was recorded just days before the exhibition of the same name opened in July 1980. Aged only 20, Brophy wrote all the music in 5 days, with accomplice Ralph Traviato taking care of lyrics.    1:09:05 (Pop-up)
A 3 Dans les WC  Photo Couleur   Favoriting A 3 Dans les WC  La Face Cachee  2015  WC3 were a French New Wave band that debuted with a single on F.L.V.M. in 1979, followed by an EP and two albums on CBS between 1981 and 1982. The band’s popular 1982 release Moderne Musique was issued under the name À 3 dans les WC. They formed in 1978, St Quentin, Picardie, France and disbanded by 1984 leaving behind 1 EP and a handful of singles...    1:13:15 (Pop-up)

Bauhaus  St Vitus Dance   Favoriting In The Flat Field (Expanded)  Beggar's Banquet Archive  1980 / 2009  It does not seem that there is a consensus on the meaning of the lyrics of this song, but I have an opinion --- "Sydenham’s chorea is also called ‘chorea minor’ or ‘infectious chorea’ or ‘rheumatic chorea’ or ‘St. Vitus’ dance’ The name of the disease originates from its discoverer, the English physician Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689). The eponym ‘St Vitus’ dance refers to the saint of the same name, who was persecuted by the Roman emperors and died a Christian martyr in 303 A.D., the patron saint of dancers. Prolonged dances historically take place in front of his statue during the feast of St. Vitus in Germanic and Latvian cultures. The name of this disease refers to the rapid movements of sufferers, which resemble a dance. In English, Sydenham’s chorea is called ‘sydenham’s chorea’ or ‘St Vitus’ dance’." "Sydenham's chorea, also known as chorea minor and historically and occasionally referred to as St Vitus' dance, is a disorder characterized by rapid, uncoordinated jerking movements primarily affecting the face, hands and feet." -- Lyric excerpts from the song: "Back in the good old dance when dancing meant exploding / The idea was simple for a decent overloading / And for a multiple flash with no cords attached / He came up with a more remote flash trigger / It's connected to an accessory in his hip / Which automatically fires in perfect synchro / But perhaps his most exciting development is his angle / They call it the dance / It's the St. Vitus dance / Such flexibility / What an accessory / See his soft bounce What flexibility... ...And for special effects he has six filters / Three colored red with the others pilfered / And if you really want to know what that means / He could throw a blue flash from eighty-five feet / Of course you might want to check out your own little output / So we devised a few simple and easy to crack contortions / So you can bump and scrape all the day through / With the dance / It's the St. Vitus dance, the St. Vitus dance / Such flexibility... ...Check his hot shoe / Feel his output / He's a light machine, see his angle / He's a light machine" --- Back to my opinion... This song, to me, seems to tie together the involuntary movements & spasms of the medical condition with the idea of someone mounting lighting effects to his body and becoming a lightshow. A bit of macabre humour, inventing a living, dancing lightshow based on a disease. At least this is how I see the song. Then again, I always thought Bauhaus had a sense of humour in their early days.    1:29:47 (Pop-up)
Dance Disaster Movement  I Want Your Sass   Favoriting We Are From Nowhere  Dim Mak  2003  Sometimes the dance is in the artist name, and not in the song. "One of the many bands combining punk and disco in the early 2000s, Dance Disaster Movement had one of the noisiest, most aggressive takes on the style. A white-clad duo consisting of multi-instrumentalist Kevin Disco and percussionist Matt Howze, the band formed in Long Beach, CA, in 2001. Bored with the repetitiveness and posturing that they saw in the post-punk/hardcore scene around them, the pair wanted to make music that was both visceral and danceable. The mix of guitar and keyboard noise and tribal percussion in Dance Disaster Movement's music attracted Dim Mak Records, who signed the band and released their debut album We Are From Nowhere in early 2003."    1:33:33 (Pop-up)
Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様  Dancing Blue   Favoriting Kumoyo Island  Guru Guru  2022  Kikagaku Moyo (Japanese: 幾何学模様, Hepburn: Kikagaku Moyō) are a Japanese psychedelic band from Tokyo. The band's name translates to "geometric patterns." They formed in 2012. On 19 Jan 2022, the band announced they would go on an indefinite hiatus after 2022, and that their next record would be their last. Titled Kumoyo Island, the album was released in May 2022. "Kikagaku Moyo have come a long way –both literally and metaphorically– since their humble beginnings busking on the streets of Tokyo back in 2012. A tight-knit group of five friends who bonded over the desire to play freely, and explore music associated with space and psychedelica, their initial ambitions were modest semi-regular slots in the cramped clubs of the city’s insular music scene. Yet the band’s progressive, folk-influenced take on psychedelica marked them out from their peers and re-started Japan’s psych rock scene; it also brought them international acclaim. With a settled line up – Go Kurosawa (drums, vox), Tomo Katsurada (guitar, vox), Kotsuguy (bass), Daoud Popal (guitar), Ryu Kurosawa (sitar), – and a signature sound that blended classical Indian music, Krautrock, traditional folk, 70s rock, and acid-tinged psych, the band sold out shows across Europe and founded their own label, Guruguru Brain, to showcase not just their own work, but the under-represented music scene in East Asia"  *   1:39:23 (Pop-up)

Stereolab 

Blaue Milch   Favoriting

Pulse Of The Early Brain [Switched On Volume 5] 

Duophonic / Warp Records 

1998 / 2022 

The official write up: "‘Blaue Milch’ was recorded for a Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra compilation album – each artist on the album was sent a Peter Thomas audio track and was asked to build it into a new track. Originally released in 1998 by the Bungalow record label." ---- This sounds to me more like the song "Brakhage" from their 1997 album Dots And Loops, if that song was turned inside out, with some progressions surviving & an approximation of the harmonica from "Theme from "Midnight Cowboy"" transposed to keyboard & intermittently floating through the song. "Blaue Milch" translates to Blue Milk. Stereolab would another song called "Blue Milk" on their following 1999 album "Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night." It was an epic 11+ and/or 16+ minute (depending on the version of the album you purchased) epic. That song does not, in my estimation, sound like this one. "Brakhage" kinda does.

The Drowning Craze  Storage Case   Favoriting Storage Case 7"  Situation Two  1981  Initially a vehicle for Angela Jaeger, a New York-born vocalist who had moved to London to study voice and musical theater, Drowning Craze was only together from 1980 to 1982. Although its post-punk approach put them on the cutting edge of early-'80s British music, they're best remembered as the breeding ground for musicians who went on to greater things. Jaeger left the band following the release of its debut single, "Storage Case", to return to college and went on to sing with The Monochrome Set, Billy MacKenzie, Disconnection, Bush Tetras, Pigbag and Instinct while bassist Simon Raymonde became an important member of the Cocteau Twins. Drowning Craze released its most promising single after Jaeger's departure. Featuring the vocals of Chicago-born Frankie Nardiello (aka Groovie Mann), "Trance" was named "single of the week" by British music magazines, NME and Melody Maker. The group, however, never had a chance to fulfill their potential, disbanded by late 1982.    1:50:11 (Pop-up)
Drahla  Under The Glass   Favoriting Under The Glass Single  Captured Tracks  2022  Under the Glass' represents a moment of creative reconnection, almost a sense of euphoria in the darkest moments - an awaited, yet slight, respite from reality. The song is a collage, reworking early ideas from 2020 with newer work - bridging the gap of time, in the literal sense as well as musically. The lyrics are deliberately vague, using metaphor to interpret personal experience and emotion of loss and grief. ‘Under the Glass’ is the first single of an upcoming, mostly unwritten album. lyrics. Drahla are from Leeds. Formed in late 2015, Drahla quickly found their identity in Yorkshire’s fertile music scene with their minimal yet robust bass-heavy sound blending art rock and post-punk...  *   1:53:18 (Pop-up)
Mystery Season  Dust With a Capital D   Favoriting Too Much, Too Soon, Tomorrow (Special Edition)  Noisy Neighbours  2021  A purveyor of dreamy beats and twinkly treats, Mystery Season is the musical alias of Glasgow based producer and songwriter, Kye Perry. Kye really went to town with his detuned take on all things dreamy during a year living in Utrecht, The Netherlands, where bargain synthesizers from Markplaats (Dutch Ebay) led to an expanding sound palette for Kye's musical solar system. Brought up on a diet of Stevie Wonder and Jamiroqaui,(????HUH???) Mystery Season's sound revolves around dense arrangements and lush harmony. We dislike Jamiroquai but we very much like this.    1:56:35 (Pop-up)

Zru Vogue  Nakweda Dream   Favoriting Nakweda Dream 7"  Adolescent Records  1981  Zru Vogue is a two man post punk avant-pop group from Palo Alto, California, combining the talents of Andrew Finkle and Rick Cuevas. The band began in 1980 as a four member group: Rick, Andy, Tom Sanders and Nancy Miller. Tom and Nancy left the group shortly after the first single, "Nakweda Dream", was released by independent San Francisco label Adolescent Records in February 1981. Inspired by rave reviews and heavy airplay on alternative radio stations, Andy and Rick went back into the studio, now as a duo, to record some new ZRU tracks. The self-tilted LP was released on the band’s Zero Risk Records in 1982. It contains eight compositions blending African tribal and Middle Eastern rhythms, avant-garde rock, minimal electronics, and funk-rock guitars. The duo’s sound is inspired by the art and anti-art movements of Dada and Surrealism.    2:03:19 (Pop-up)

The Cool Jerk was originally called Cool Pimp, it was written about pimps who would go to dances when The Jerk was a big dance and wanted to be out on the floor with the girls but wouldn't do this stupid popular dance everyone else was doing and would just hang out there. The Capitols were, I think wisely, talked out of using the title because it might have interfered with it becoming the hit that it did.

The Quality Of Mercy Is Not Strnen is a fantastic album, Ultra. I love the cover art, I love the album, if you have the CD, the bonus tracks are essential. Everything about it is shambolic, wiry, astute, flippant and wonderful. They recorded it with Gang Of Four's equipment. They also were one of the punk bands that truly couldn't play their own instruments. Still active to this day, having accomplished an impressive discography & touching on many varied genres while sounding like themselves. This is the true meaning of the punk movement, in my estimation. Find out how to do it yourself, get as good at it as you can, go wherever you want, say interesting things and pander to no-one. Love them!
