press release classics

condeming him as "bogus"

turbo recordings press release for last year's tomas barford EP:

I could try, like an idiot, to write more things like :
funk-filled-groove-injected-modern-post-disco-house-bombs.... Or things like “aphex-twin shares a drum machine with etienne de crecy in a 70'd era duplex in chicago”.

Or I could just tell you a story about how I was at a hotel gym in LA, minding my own business, playing these tracks on the “ghetto blaster”, trying to decide which ones I liked best...when in walks......MICHAEL DOUGLAS!!!!! ....and after “grooving” for a few minutes tells me “this music is great, man”.

Don't trust me....trust Michael Douglas: movie-star, oscar winner and SEX addict.....he LOVES Tomas Barford.

Love
Tiga

Twista recently called out McDonald's, condemning them as "bogus"

The White House issued a statement dismissing the criticism and asserting that the president is "excellent"

LULZ it would be funny (for you) if I didn't ALREADY WIN, FAGGOTZ.

This October, Tommy Allen & Sarah Cronin debut their love for one another in the form of their outstanding
S/T record, Drug Rug, on Black & Greene Records and we are thrilled to be on board. The dynamic love duo, named
Drug Rug, hail from Boston and have written & recorded the most heartbreaking debut since June & Johnny got
together (Yes, We do love them that much). “The Sound Alone is all I need to get by” and “You don’t have worry,
You don’t have panic no more (from Tiny People)” are just two simple lines that will have you back to toe-tapping
and foot stomping & will re-cement your faith in love, poetry and classic country pop songs... Its almost like the
clash of two separate generations have joined, and Joanna Newsom & Keith Richards had recently met in some
distant far off land. Enough Said? Well if you need more, Drug Rug is coming your way...The Record was recorded
at Narrow Lab in Allston, MA by Carter Tanton (Tulsa) and mixed and produced by Carter Tanton, Julian Cassanetti
(Lot 6) and Drug Rug. Additional players on the LP are the Dead Trees & Jesse Gallagher from Apollo Sunshine. We
are one happy family now!

Thomas Allen and Sarah Cronin met in 2006 while working at the Middle East Club in Cambridge, Ma. After trading
secret demos of their own songs, Tommy persuaded Sarah to combine forces. They spent their first date drinking
whiskey in bed and playing each other songs on an old guitar. They've been inseparable ever since. Several months
later, they christened themselves "Drug Rug," a name which has made strangers laugh and parents cry. Drug Rug
began as an acoustic duo in the vein of the Everly Brothers and The Carter Family. Over the course of three or four
shows Drug Rug evolved into a rock band with a revolving cast of friends and family. Their early rock and roll sound
can be attributed to such influences as The Velvet Underground, The Byrds, and most importantly, the Paul and
Linda McCartney record, "RAM". The songs are also inspired by the storytelling style of early folk musicians, comic
books, campgrounds, funny hats, and the illustrations of Garth Williams. In the month of June, 2007 after
consulting a psychic and a lawyer they signed to Black and Greene Records and are now slated to release their first
record in the fall. Sarah likes to be covered in dirt and Tommy wears the same shirt for four days. They used to be
drug free, but now they aren't so sure. They believe in the imminent end of the world and will destroy each other
with love before the apocalypse.

Twista recently called out Roxy Music's best song, condemning it as "The Bogus Man".

'condemning him as 'bogus'' should have been a meme

Twista recently called out Bill and Ted's Journey, condemning it as "bogus."

Imagine if The Ramones traded in their leather jackets for anoraks, or Stephen Pastel actually threw Aggi off the bridge and married Black Tambourine's Pam Berry and had four babies that formed a pop band in 2007.

How about no?

Sweet God, whose PR abortion is that?^

haha awesome dom

haha, so awesome

In a smoke filled rehearsal room in an old mill in Wigan, an unassuming gang of lads are cooking up a fierce racket. Song after song falls out of the speakers like a souped up Sex Pistols with a dash of early Verve reverb and Oasis swagger.

It’s been a long time coming but here’s a band for the disaffected youth to get into. A band that match the sullen boredom and nihilistic pent up anger of battered small-town Britain with a fistful of big anthems. Don't let them fool you, Britain is not all fancy wine bars and radio 2 jazz pop. There are still some bands out here who walk it like they talk it. Bands who live in the real world of cut price Britain, but are still capable of making great art. It’s the primal appeal of rock n roll. It’s you and your mates, some amps, a lot of attitude and some loud guitars. This is the Suzukis, the best post Oasis band to arrive on the scene in years.

The songs are anthems, the kind of anthems they will be singing on the terraces if we had any terraces left,. The band don’t even know themselves how good they are. Sitting here is like sitting in Denmark Street with the Pistols in 1976 as they perfected their enormous sound. The Suzukis have got that punk rock raw power, except there is no agenda here, no freaky wardrobe; just four lads having a laugh and creating a huge wall of sound.

The Suzukis hammer out their tunes knowing the simple songs are always the best. These songs will start riots. They will be the soundtrack for the next generation of bored youth growing up in forgotten towns; this is the sound of council estate Britain.

The first single to be released from their debut album is ‘Are You Happy With Yourself?’ the perfect choice to herald their arrival. “It’s about asking yourself if you’re happy with the life you’re being allowed to live,” explains singer Chris Veasey. “If not then not just putting the TV on and going back to sleep because it isn’t going to start feeling better, it’s going to cripple you to the point where you don’t even know or care if you’re satisfied or not”

Chris Veasey spits his vocals out with that kind of attitude that primetime Liam had in spades. However he has also got his own manner, a brusque northern no bullshit, hands in pockets, staring into the void stance. He claims his words are about nothing but then he would!

The Suzukis are also brilliant musicians. Robert Warnes is a great bassist. He’s the spine of the band. The bass really hammers it out, driving the songs along with a deep, almost dub sound, but driving like the Pistols, locking with Stuart Robinson’s primeval drums. Adam Bamford’s guitar hammers out three chord riffs that stick in your mind but also crank up the adrenaline pile driving the songs. There’s such a great power in brutal simplicity. The guitar is ruthless, yet sneaks off into psychedelic dub soundscapes. The sort of psychedelic finery- the classic north west psychedelia- the mystic scaly kind of stuff perfected by the Stone Roses and loved by generations of bands since then. They have that indefinable weirdness and strange twist that seems to bubble out from the least likely of bands.

The Suzukis are a real gang; it’s the classic case of the band against the world. The sheer power of their songs reflects this and will manifest itself in their huge wall of sound when they play in stadiums next year.

They look like the kind of street youth that the Daily Mail is so scared of and have songs that everyone is going to be singing in a few months time. And Thank fuck for that because British guitar bands have got so boring recently. Everything sounds so watered down. Where’s the anger? Where’s the adrenalin? There’s got to be a band with some kind of edge. Some kind of attitude and that’s The Suzukis.

The Suzukis are in your face and their music taps into the raw aggression that is the real England.

Eux Autres (pronounced ooz-oh-tra) are an Omaha-born, San Francisco-based trio, channeling sixties French pop and with a unique sensibility. The brother/sister duo, Heather and Nicholas Larimer, share lead vocals with Yoshi Nakamoto (The Aislers Set, Still Flyin’) on drums.

Eux Autres write compact songs with sparse instrumentation. Their music has been unfairly described as “fun.” But while the surface of the songs might seem nonchalant, the lyrics offer skewed observations and fierce barbs. Most of their songs are about a) military history b) being “done wrong” or c) sports. The band sounds like the unrequited love song Doug Martsch would have penned for Francoise Hardy, had the time/space continuum conveniently collapsed.

Writing one of these must be an exercise in self-torture.

I love every word of this: https://www.roundmagazine.net/techniche/849-elijah-wood-custom-bushmills-headphones
