IDLES Went BOOM BOOM BOOM Two Weeks Ago And Go STICK STICK STICK Now
Daily electricity to load your batteries.
25 June 2024
Sounds like Bristol‘s hearty punks IDLES have
a hell of fun with covering chirpy tunes lately.
Two weeks ago they went Boom Boom Boom on their combustive take
of Mood Swings, a cool hip-rap-hop hit by British artist Little Simz.
You can stream it here.
And now they even get crazier with their hilarious version of Hey Duggee‘s
theme song. Hey Duggee is a British pre-school children’s animated television
series aimed at two to five-year-olds.
I’m quite sure that Stick Song will please the infants’
and small kids’ parents more than their little ones.
Stick Stick Stick!

the title track, sung by his regular collaborator Disa Jakobs.
Trentemøller: I feel it’s got a hopeful element to it. It ponders love,
connections, and intimacy. It’s not a sad song, even if there’s always
an unavoidable feeling that relationships can be fleeting.”
After a quiet intro the synths swell into a monumental,
reechoing, scintillating symphony

FUCKED UP – Canadian Noiseniks With A Loud And Clear Celebration Of Cannabis On New Jagged Jackhammer ‘ANOTHER DAY’
Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

Last year these Canadian post-hardcore-rock crusaders
released their awe-inspiring 6th LP, named One Day.
And the creativity kept on flowing.
New album ANOTHER DAY is planned to
be released on August 9. More info here.
Album artwork
Following lead-single Stimming we get a loud and
clear celebration of the beneficial effects of cannabis.
A jagged jackhammer.
Damian Abraham (front loudmouth): “Evolving side by side for millennia,
there is no other plant on earth that we have had a deeper and more fraught
relationship with. It has provided us food, clothing, fuel, sails, rope, paper,
building material, recreational entertainment and a medicine to treat countless
ailments.
The last few decades have seen immense changes begin to take place. Years
of activism would bring about “medical marijuana” programs. Medical cannabis
would act as a thin end of the wedge for recreational legalization efforts. The new
legal markets, in turn, have brought a wave of corporatization.
While the lyrics of the song continue the story that started in “Lords Of Kensington,”
they’re also meant to be a metaphor for what’s happened to cannabis post legalization
in Canada. A regulatory framework, with eyes on profits over justice and righting past wrongs, saw an industry handed over to prohibitionists and the people that enforced it over the victims of it. This song is about the death of that faze of cannabis and a hope for whatever rising in its place being better.”
Get high here.

Monday 24 June 2024 – Happy 80 To Guitar Wizard JEFF BECK
24 June 2024
JEFF BECK, one of the genuine and pioneering guitar heroes in rock,
was born on 24 June 1944. He would have celebrated his 80th birthday
today.
He started his career with 60s blues beat band The Yardbirds (who also had
Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton in their changing line-ups). In 1967, he formed his
own band The Jeff Beck Group originally with Rod Stewart as the singer and
Ronnie Wood on guitar. The JBG recorded 3 albums.
As a solo artist Beck released 11 LPs with Loud Hailer as the most recent
one that came out in 2016. He also recorded with many other artists.
He passed away last year, on 10 January, aged 78,
after suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis
Beck on the Letterman Show in 1999.
AWESOME!
