His real name is Craig Allan Rothwell. Obsessed with the idea of genetic mutation, he submitted to a botched operation in an effort to land a media deal with a big media company. And he became Booji Boy – a bizarre adult infant freak with pre-adolescent sexuality and Yoda-like wisdom. He wrote a book entitled My Struggle. It has a red cover. Booji Boy primarily performs live with DEVO, but his voice was used on several early DEVO recordings because the character was created by them in the early 70s.

But look what happen when some BOOJI BOYS in Nova Scotia make music together, and sing songs about fun in the sun, class war and shameful fantasies.

Singing in a local band but struggling with shyness and blackouts whenever she tried to perform in front of an audience, so she treated the problem with beers. When she was in a feminist punk band started to record on her own at home on a half broken computer, and a shy kid turned into shit.

In this film as Ball-Jugler she is going home with her schoolmate Stargazer from the Superhero Academy

NY punk band PARQUET COURTS with Texan rapper BUN B (ex-UGK), who one time planned a book „Hip Hop Survival Guide” with journalist and illustrator Shea Serrano, but finally they rather made a rap coloring book. So maybe Bun B has been drawn by his mate:

Captive Of The Sun ft. BUN B out now on limited edition 12” via Rough Trade.

The original track is on PARQUET COURTS’ latest album Human Performance.

In the lyrics there is a phrase: misophonia. It means literally „hatred of sound.” It is a condition in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered by specific sounds. One study found that around 80% of the sounds were related to the mouth as eating, chewving, yawning and etc.

„We are still mythical;
we are still
permanently trapped
somewhere between the heroic and the pitiful”

Kate Tempest, writer, musician

„Metrical rigour and adroit rhyming are not yet among her accomplishments. She has a pretty, cherubic face, framed by unbrushed red blonde hair and she speaks in a Caribbean lite patois that translates ‘those things’ into ‘dem fings’. This linguistic pattern has many fans among the elite. It’s seen as an emblem of barbarous innocence, of instinctive passions bred in the ghetto, of an unschooled and therefore superior creativity. And it particularly excites Arts Council grandees who believe their mission is to reach down to the uncivilised and protean human type. Which Tempest perfectly represents.”

About Kate Tempest’s poetry by Lloyd Evans playwright and sketch writer in good old British conservative magazine The Spectaor. He also says „She is also pessimistic to the point of superstition. She sees malevolence everywhere.”

from the album Let Them Eat Chaos on Fiction Records (UK). Her former records were released by Big Dada/ Ninja Tunes.

„Illusion, my darling, everything is just illusion. Believe me! Causeless bustle, but many of us think it is the order itself. Childish illusion. But the method, it is deserving.”

Alexander the Lame

Challenging childhood on a council estate outside Swindon (UK), saw him immerse himself in music, books and poetry as a means of escape.

OLIVER WILDE

„As a kid, I thought no one in the world felt like me. Then I discovered Nick Drake, Daniel Johnston, Conor Oberst and Kurt Cobain. Hearing Sparklehorse was a revelation. Their music expressed exactly how I felt. It was a hugely liberating experience because suddenly I wasn’t alone.”

„I was this loser emo kid, sitting in my room, trying to come to terms with all the negativity in my life. As self-therapy, I made these little songs about how I felt. Writing them was a cathartic release. Rather than carry this heavy subject matter around in my head, which made me depressed, I turned it in to music. I took the cliche´s of pop – the structure, the form, the earworm hooks, the emphasis on rhythm – and made them ugly in order to address wider demons. The idea that anyone would hear it was appalling. Those really were my diary entries. They were so personal and humiliating. I felt incredibly exposed.” But by accident, one of Oliver’s early songs was discovered by Adrian Dutt, his co-worker at a Bristol record store and co-owner of Howling Owl Records.

“You’re So Kool-Aid, for example, has a catchy tune, a beat and a bass synth. It’s funky, but it’s about suicide.”

From the album Post-Frenz Container Buzz
