The
following are people I either want you check out because I like them or what
they do,
or people I want you to sympathise with my reasons for hating.
|
HEEL
TURN MEDIA
Excellent and diverse record label and art leanings from Orpington in Kent. They've got a few releases to date, and also do a cool distro. |
WOB
One of the most energetic performers I've ever paid witness to. Acoustic heaven. |
|
BEAT
BEDSIT RECORDS
The record label I run, which veers from brutal hardcore, through plaintitive acoustica to bizarre electro. There's also a distro section that currently threatens to overrun my house. |
PROJECT
ADORNO
Electronic beat poetry duo from London, who have a couple of CDs out on Beat Bedsit. Imagine a unique mix of John Hedgley and The Pet Shop Boys. |
|
WILBERFORCE
Dedicated and unhinged guy from South London who has made a really good English psych-pop CD. You can hear some of his stuff on the website. |
WE
AM JANET
The other side of the split CD, regard this fellows psychedelic oddness that he makes in his bedroom, often while in his slippers and dressing gown. With the curtains closed. At 2pm. In Summer. |
|
PHILLIP
JEAYS
Painfully good chanteur who has been titled as being the British Jaques Brel. It's a well deserved tag, his style, voice and politics spit out all points from the past 100 years, and he could make you laugh and cry in the same verse! |
ATOM
AND HIS PACKAGE
One of my current favourites - one man and a Yamaha QY70 sequencer. He has some MP3s on his site so have a listen to what I can't describe. |
|
STEVE
LAKE
A heady mix of sea shanties and gutter jazz from this ex-Zounds crooner. Speaking of which, Zounds are now again so it would be wise to keep tabs on them also. |
ANAL
BEARD
The band I'm in, variously described as carnival punk, the pop bands that punks like, and responsible for the worst record in the history of music. |
If you fancy trading links, show me what you're made of.
