  • When I saw them in 1995 in New York, there was no banter, just lots of noisy machines making swirly noises between songs ... continuous noise. Same thing for the opener, Polara

    I'm surprised with all of the negativity towards this album, I thoroughly enjoy it.

    - Some serious weird shit ! - and very funny. (and free)
    :-)
    Chinstrap are delighted to present the first release by the genius pop-music-machine that is Plushgoolash. Recorded over almost ten years, and selected from a massive archive of uberpop, this album contains some of the most finely crafted songwriting of recent times.

    Chinstrap are delighted to present the first release by the genius pop-music-machine that is Plushgoolash. Recorded over almost ten years, and selected from a massive archive of uberpop, this album contains some of the most finely crafted songwriting of recent times.

    It is also very, very funny. Plushgoolash are living proof that great pop music needn't be po-faced and self-importantly earnest. Here are superb songs about dogs, cats, testicles, monkeys, Michael Jackson, terrible Lions, and brown rainbows. By turns dreamlike, scatological, hysterical, and suffused with a strange melancholy, every song has instantly hummable ear-worm potential.

    Plushgoolash is the collaborative project of Erik Bumbledonk and Bambie Racheed. Those familiar with Ergo Phizmiz's work will be no stranger to Mr Bumbledonk, writer, raconteur, film-maker, songwriter, comedian, actor and prostitute. Mr Racheed, film-maker, musician, sensual escort for animals, and actor, is a long-term collaborator with Mr Bumbledonk, through Plushgoolash and the acclaimed comedy troupe Smuglybeige, who recently opened Prague Fringe Festival, many of whom guest in elegant castrati stylings on the final track of this album.

    This is the first of a series of projected Bumbledonk releases on the Chinstrap label. Look out shortly for the MNJ Club, and an Erik Bumbledonk solo album of songs, comedy and spoken-word.

    A sleepless night and excellent timing scored this, the new Wild Beasts' single, and the new Colour Revolt for free plus the new Budos Band and the new Delorean single for a little over a buck each.

    Part Ali Farka Toure, part Otha Turner, with a mix of blues styles. It's one of those "where have you been all my life" albums.

    The Nels Cline Singers - Instrumentals (2002)
    Recently added to eMu (07/01/10).
    - It seems like Cryptogramophone has decided to be distributed by IODA.

    Edit:
    It seems that it has been here since 2002.
    Well, at least the new one has a high res. cover.

    I love the interwebs! I finally found a copy of this tape that I dubbed off a friend in 1988 and listened to till it was worn down to a nub.

    I caved for a popular piece of Classical. But it's awesome.

    Slip your headphones on and listen to shambling figures underneath a city.
