ESG

ESG was a band that could have only existed  in the demented time and place that was New York  in the late 70s.  They were a bunch of young sisters from the Bronx who made weird spaced out minimal funk, got some songs produced by Martin  Hannett of Factory, got sampled by everyone, and then went on with their lives.  I found this album in a record  store, listened to it because it looked cool, bought it and ripped it so here it is:

154

Lately I've been listening the shit out of this album, Wire's third.  Wire made three perfect albums, Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, and 154,  and then  they made a bunch of  mediocre ones that I like to pretend don't exist.  I'll post the other two later, but for now, tada.

Youtube Recommended this Czech Disco ZZ Top to me...

...which is why we're getting  married.

Let's listen to Telex

Telex were a Belgian band. They were really cool, and one of their members looked just like that muppet Grover used to torture all the time on Sesame Street (the one with the mustache). Read their wikipedia article, it's entertaining.


Twice the Youtube, Twice the Youtube

Because Youtube is synonymous with fun. (I should be a sloganeer.)
The best thing I may have ever done.

Another pretty good thing.
