“Whether you’re pining after old things or looking for the new, kindness doesn’t show itself in this world where love is scarce. Miss Whiskey will show you kindness.”

from the Longing for the Past: The 78 rpm Era in Southeast Asia box set by Dust to Digital

The Burmese actor, U Myat Lay sings this very strange, drunken song. It was „original sound track” of a silent film, Miss Whiskey in the 1930s. The silent film songs released on 78 rpm records at that time. These were excellent promotional tools, and frequently, the musicians who recorded a song would also perform when the movie was shown in the big city theaters in Burma.

In consequence of three Anglo-Burmese Wars there were many Scotsmen in that time. The first war officially broke out in 1824, because expansion of the Burmese Empire reached the British sphere of interest in India. In the end of war „The question is not how much you will cede to us but how much we shall return to you.” In 1885, in the end of third war the answer was: nothing. This war was a preventive act, because France took a growing interest in rest of Burma. Otherwise Myat Lay could have sung about Mlle Cognac.
Burma gained its independence in 1947. Since then there: or/and: civil war, coup d’état, military government, rebellion, turbulence.

If you interested in the Burmese weekdays under British rule, there was a police officer in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922 to 1927, who wrote a novel about it. You can read it in English here. Magyarul itt.

The British visual artist Mathew Sawyer play sometimes popy, sometimes rocky, sometimes punky chamber folk music with his band, The Ghost. He said 3 years before after the second album: „I wanted to make a happy record, but it didn’t really work. The next one will be so much fun… [laughs]. “ On his third album he analyses the relationship between Thanatos and Hypnos. They are twin brothers, personificators of the Death and the Sleep in the Greek mythology. Their parents, Erebos (Darkness) and Nyx (Night) born from the Chaos. And they have some children more: Moros (Doom), Momus (Mockery), Oizys (Misery), Nemesis (Revenge), Eris (Discord), Apate (Deceit), etc. Hey! What they have brought up their children for? I call the court of guardians at once.

The recordings were made in his home hand in hand with his everyday living. „The sound of cars come through the windows, the phone rings, floorboards creak. These sounds all played an important role in making this record. Studios are quiet and lifeless.”

Euro Tour Sept-Oct

Eric Clapton and Ted Milton often hanged out together in the summer of 1965. Clapton said: „Ted was the most extraordinary man. A poet and a visionary…he was the first person I ever saw physically interpreting music…to enact it with his entire being, dancing and employing facial expressions to interpret what he was hearing. Watching him, I understood for the first time how you could really live music, how you could listen to it and completely make it come alive, so that it was part of your life. It was a real awakening.”
And Ted wasn’t musician at that time. He was known as poet and puppeteer. He has started to play alto-saxophone and founded his avant-garde jazz punk band, the Blurt in the late seventies only.

A runner-up of the above mentioned contest: Drags from Oakland. Very nice variegated music. Psychedelic country gaze garage noise pop punk or what you will. The songs were recorded by Matthew Melton (Bare Wires, Warm Soda):

Sick Thougths. Lo-fi raw garage punk. As if the LiveFastDie and the Outdoorsmen would play at the same time. Sometimes like a lo-fi garage Motörhead:

Split tape between Halfrican (Scotland) and White Pages (US). Some words about the bands by Jeff from No Sir I Won’t: „Halfrican sounds like „Holiday Road” if it was on Crass Records. White Pages sound like if The Pissed Officers and The Showcase Showdown were the same band.” Thus everything is clear, click!

The Man Man is a very funny experimental rock band. I think maybe this long and boring track is the most listener friendly on On Oni Pond LP. I hope.

Here is a good one

The Black Tambourines come from England. They enumerate the following bands like influence: Velvet Underground, Devo, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Ramones. Their music is fine fuzzy indie garage punk.

Don’t confuse with Black Tambourine, a recently reformed American shoegaze indie pop band!

Tropical Trash Noise rock in the manner of 90s with hardcore and metal elements. For example the Big Black occurs to me. But sometimes they wander on the way of experimental music too.

Surprise! Dirtbombs. And the style is 70s bubblegum music! Yes, the entire LP. An old dream has come true, because the Detroit garage rockers intended to make a bubblegum album at first in 2003. Then the music changed to „car-commercial” pop rock. The second attempt was in 2007. At the time the album’s themes turned into too dark. And finally the success has arrived. Fanfares!

from Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-blooey! LP by In The Red

There were some Dirtbomb surprises in the past. My favorite one is the Ultraglide in Black (2001), a collection of soul, R&B and Motown covers with an own track. And there is their previous album, the Party Store (2011) featuring covers of early Detroit techno and house. By the way, two drummers are in the band.
