„just in time for the holidays”
from MARSHALL APPLEWHITE next mixtape Suburban Boredom, out now on little Scottish label CLANDESTINE RECORDS on cassette and digital.
He says „If EDM is drug music, I am the anti drug.” But there was another Marshall Applewhite who also said very particular things.
After divorce, without job, in the state of depression a gay music teacher from Texas, Marshall Applewhite, the reincarnation of Jesus Christ met a woman who used to got instructions from a monk Brother Francis from the 19th century. They identified themselves as the two witness of God which are described by John the Revelator in his nightmare after an overabundant late supper. Those two have authority of prophesy, have power over sky and waters, and able to strike the earth with plague. They also concluded that they had been chosen to full fill biblical prophecies, so they went to proselytization tour, but without any success. Maybe because
„It would be impossible to explain to you who we are, where we come from, and who we represent. If we tried, you would not believe us. We exist in another dimension, which does not allow for the use of currency.”
This quote is taken from one of their sacred messages. This one was found in their room in a Holiday Inn.
The essence of their catechism
We have superior souls which are from other space and planted into our human bodies. We are here to teach people how to reach the next level of existence. To reach this state need to strip all the human habits and emotions, for example must to jettison from the luxury of thinking too. And when the time will come a spaceship will come for the true believers and take their souls to the Heaven and everybody else will die in a final fire shower.
The time came in 1997 with Comet Hale-Bopp, when an amateur astronomer took a photograph which showed a large metallic object behind the comet. So the 39 members of Heaven’s Gate group prepared themselves for the journey as guidance by the spiritual leader.
At first everybody went and bought the same type of black Nike shoes – because of the Nike logo is similar to a comet, but a „Heaven’s Gate Away Team” armband, passport, driving licence, a 5 dollar bill and some change also were needed. The latter because so they will be able to call home.
Finally they released their souls from the human body with a mix of medication of epilepsy, vodka and apple sauce, and before the final exit they set plastic bags on their heads. But they all slipped on a banana peel. The photo of the comet with that UFO was fake. So they in vain took out insurance on alien abduction.

Today news: Psychiatrists have urged parents to stop telling kids about Father Christmas because it could undermine trust in their parents and lead to „abject disappointment”. „If parents can lie so convincingly and over such a long time, what else can they lie about?”
BLACK LIPS BARK ABOUT THAT ELECTION
„election got us feeling a certain type of way, so we moded out a chaos UK style anarchy punk romp” from Atlanta, Georgia
Georgia: Trump: 51.3%; Clinton: 45.6%; Johnson: 3.1%
I do not know about the Atlanta’s results, but in Fulton County whose seat is Atlanta the state capital: Clinton: 69.2%; Trump: 27.1%; Johnson: 3.7%
The song is illustrated with the burning Reichstag. „It’s about a changing of the guards for the worse, nothing else don’t get panties in a bunch.”
Great Depression. About 5 million Germans without job (25-30%).
NSDAP was on top in June 1932 (37.27%), on the next voting same year November it fell (33.09%), but there was a deadlock after the election.
After long tug of war Hitler was asked to be next chancellor by President Hindenburg in January 1933.
On 27 February, six days before the next election, fire broke out in the Reichstag chambers.
Next day Hitler asked for and received from President Hindenburg the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and State.
§ 1 „Thus, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of assembly and the right of association, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property are permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.”
On the spot a lunatic Dutch communist was arrested.
Later 1 German and 3 Bulgarian communists also were arrested, but against every effort finally they were acquitted during the trial but later
Georgi Dimitrov became Stalinist boss of Bulgaria. After his death in 1949 he was embalmed and got a mausoleum;
Ernst Torgler became a Gestapo agent and worked for the Propaganda Ministry;
Vasily Tanev was killed during a secret party mission in Bulgaria in 1941;
Blagoy Popov spent 17 years on GULAG from 1937;
Lunatic Dutch communist Van der Lubbe was beheaded.
So funny:=)

Just Like The Ween
„SURFACE TO AIR MISSIVE
is primarily the project of recorder player Taylor Ross from The American South. This Rock Band has destroyed The Rock Band in order to build a New Rock Band sourced from Fake Classical / Neo-Baroque stylings. Recorders big and small multi-tracked atop atypical chord progressions”
This is a neo-baroque psych folk pop crank, an easy, bloody fun
from the album „A V” on Leaving Records (US)
But this song shows just one face from the many of the band. Sometimes it seems as if there would be a different band, because „Hey, it’s totally Sonic Youth”; „Oh what is the name of that Czech folk jazz band? They make something similar. Jablkon! That’s right.” And in the next moment it turns into grunge. Just like the Ween.

MONKEY BUSINESS ON 12 STRINGS
O LENDÁRIO CHUCROBILLYMAN – oh how beautiful this name – IS A ONE-MAN-BAND FROM BRAZIL – who sell his soul to the devil on the corner of Rio Iguazu and Rio Negro – HE PLAYS AMAZON DELTA BLUES – this is my favourite song from him:
It is on his latest album MAN MONKEY which RELEASED ON VINYL now. If you want to buy please write to him: klauskoti AT gmail.com. CD and digital versions are available via his label Fon-Fon Records
But what is Macumba? It is a name of an African drum and a popular chaotic religion-like something in South-America, which combines elements of many different religions like voodoo. There is a ritual with drums, dance, sacrifice of animals and other offerings for the spirits. There is a master who can connect with spirits, of course in trance, and can ask them to do good or bad things – especially in love and money matters, because the worshippers are interested in these mysterious things mainly. During the liturgy the congregation falls into trance, and on the end of the service they will have just a little reminiscence about what exactly happened. Exactly like in the profane way of worship of spirits.
Because an average person also can connect with spirits through his lips. In these case those spirits are in bottles and you need swallow them. The trance comes right after the empty bottles. During the process at first the good spirits will be victorious, but after a total blackout the bad spirits will rule your body.
But if you are lucky enough will find a cold beer in your fridge.

Andre Williams 80
„If you go fuck three girls in one week, you fuck all three of them good! You know what I mean? If you do a song, put you heart in it! Don’t come up with no bullshit lyric! Come up with the real lyric! If the word is „Take it out, let me see it”, then say it! Don’t say stuff like „Ooh, you look kinda mysterious to me.” That ain’t sayin’ the same damn thing!”
ANDRE WILLIAMS is a wonder. Not just because of his oeuvre, but also because he is not just alive, but active up to this date. He made many songs in various styles as rock and roll, blues, soul, funk, rap or garage rock, and not just for himself. In the first chapter of his career he worked together e.g. Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Ike and Tina Turner, George Clinton and more. In the second chapter which started in late 80s he worked with Jon Spencer, and members of such garage rock bands as The Oblivians, Dirtboms or Gories. Yestarday our black godfather turned into his 80th.
His career has started with a fraudulent enlistment in 1950. When he was 14 he joined the US Navy with his brother’s birth certificate, because the age limit was 17. But not long after this his brother got drafted.
I’m moving marines on the USS Compton Destroyer from shore to a hospital ship, under fire every fuckin’ night! Boom! Boom! I’m a trainee on the 40 mm. Fifteen motherfuckin’ years old, OK? These motherfuckers fly me back to Washington, give me a general Court Martial and send me to the penitentiary for a year! Fraudulent enlistment! On the Court Martial board, I’m sitting with five fuckin’ admirals. All stiff, bold, big motherfuckers, you know.
My lawyer said „Send this kid home, he’s a child!” Then they came back and said „One year in Fort Levenworth, and a dishonourable discharge” and I said [adopts slow dramatic tone] „Kiss-my-ass-mother-fuckers!” So they appealed the case and they sent me back from Fort Levenworth after 6 weeks for a retrial. I go back on the retrial, thinking they gonna cut me-a-loose. Them cocksuckers made the year stick and give me a bad conduct discharge. All they did change was the discharge. You get a red corduroy coat, a Ben Hogan cap, a pair of black pants, twenty five dollars and a train ticket with your choice of destination.
He didn’t go back to Chicago. He feared that would be send to a reformatory school, so he went to Detroit. It was a Tuesday when he arrived. There he found a theatre where on every Tuesday evening was a talent show. 25 USD was the first prize. Afternoon he wrote his first song and won. And next week won again, and then again and again, and finally got a contract from a little record label Fortune Records. His break trough hit was the „Bacon Fat” in 1956. He said about
When I came up with „Bacon Fat” I was travelling from Detroit to Memphis. That’s when I knew that I had to come up with a gimmick. So I stopped in Memphis and I got an egg and bacon sandwich – on toast! I’m driving and a lot of places where we used to travel, it was only a two lane highway so you’d see the cotton pickers on both sides and I’m driving and [starts tapping a beat on his thigh, starts humming] „Down in Tennessee… and the name of the dance is…” and I had the sandwich in my hand and there it came, „The Bacon Fat!”
He was there when Motown came alive, and also produced recordings for another little label Chess Records (Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Little Walter, Chuck Berry, Howlin’ Wolf). Worked together with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gay, The Contours, The Supremes, Ike and Tina Turner, Edwin Starr, Parliament, Funkadelic and many more. But in the 80s he slipped into poverty because of his alcohol and drug addictions, and even he lived as a homeless in Chicago too. His comeback album „Directly From The Streets” in 1990 refers to this tract. It was a funk rap album. Since then he made many fantastic albums with different bands and musicians, for example:
soul band The Diplomats of Solid Sound, jazz-funk-rock band Morning 40 Federation under pseudonym The New Orleans Hellhounds, Canadian country rock and roll band The Sadies, Chicago garage rock band The Goldstars, members of The Oblivians, Dirtboms, Dirty Three, Crime & City Solution, Cheater Slicks, Gories and same ones.
This is his greatest hit. Originally it was written for The Five Du-Tones in 1963.
His brand new album released this summer on Bloodshot Records
Quotes from this interview
„ain’t nothing like a regular fella”
American musician RANDY NEWMAN who – besides his score music: Ragtime, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story, Cars and more – famous his satirical songs too. Now he sings a song about the great leader of Russia in the style of Kurt Weil
„I hope all of you like it. I know he will” – said Newton. I am sure, but in the scene of football fanatics there are Hungarian flags. Not a big problem, because they are almost the same ones. Anyway
„He can drive his giant tractor
Across the Trans-Siberian plain
He can power a nuclear reactor
With the left side of his brain
And when he takes his shirt off
He drives the ladies crazy
When he takes his shirt off
Makes me wanna be a lady.”
You find the full lyrics here.
The song has been taken from his next album will be released sometime next year. But you can get the song:

Antlers Mulm from Leipzig, Germany… recommended to fans of New Order but also of Solitude FX… melancholy, dreamy and catchy… GIVE AND TAKE 7″
And What Kind of Jazz Is This
HOW TO GET IDEAS it is a new EP by avant-rockers of QUI. The band has been formed in LA in 2000 as a duo, but after some guest appereances David Yow decided to join them as a singer in 2006. This period lasted until 2013, when Yow left the band because of his reunions with his bands Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid, and his solo album, and his exhibitions, so finally there no left enough time for Qui, so he has become a part-time collaborator. But not on this EP. Now you must settle for Dale Crover of Melvins on vocals and percussion. Anyway he is the co-producder of the EP which is out now on Dutch label Geertruida. Distributed in US by Orgmusic
I asked myself “hey, what the hell is this fucking good song”, and turned up the volume
Someone said about THE BOLOS‘ music „Son House gone psych backed by The Gun Club.” Maybe, I don’t know. But it is sure that Black Lips, Paint Fumes, Mark Sultan, King Khan shared the stage with them. And when I have heard the first Bolos’ song today, I asked myself „hey, what the hell is this fucking good song”, and turned up the volume
Anyway they are coming from San Antonio, Texas. And the 7″ single is out now on French label Six Tonnes De Chair Records.
