Klinton (Bill)

Remember the good old days of Klinton bashing? He sure did lower the bar. Klinton (Bill) was recorded during the Fall of 2000.

I know there's no one here to claim her
I know it seems insane
But, somewhere I just can't seem to remember
Somewhere I seem to have lost my name

I can't recall anything at all
I can't even remember
What's started to fall
I can't even remember
What was on her dress
I can't even remember
What was that word: is?

The Streets

Mike Skinner (aka The Streets) definitely has talent. His style, sometimes called "Garage," is a form of Hip Hop that is very different from the US styles. He sings about waht he know: partying, annoying friends and trying to score. As he says, "Here we say 'bird,' not 'bitches." His first two albums, "Original Pirate Material" and "A Grand Don't Come for Free," are among my all-time favorties of any genre. A third album has just been released, but I have not heard it yet (although, judging from the samples below, I suspect I'll like it just fine).

Jihad Swing #1

Jihad Swing #1 was written in 2000 at about 3:00 AM after a night of drinking and listening to lame bands. It's even more timely than it was then, which causes us to ask: how could you not see it coming?

This version was the first recorded in December 2000 on a two-track stereo.

See also Jihad Swing (Hammer Version) The lyrics are slightly different.

Jihad Swing
Feeling Kinda Suicidal
Jihad Swing
Feeling kinda Suicidal

I don’t believe in abortion
I believe in suicide
I want to blow up a building with me inside
You know there’s two asses in assassination
Jihad
Illumination
A liberation

I’m Feeling Kind of Suicidal
Got the Jihad Swing
Feeling Suicidal Tonight

I don’t believe in abortion
I believe in suicide
I want to blow up a building with me inside
You know there’s two asses in assassination
Jihad
Illumination
A liberation

Gonna do the Jihad Swing
Kinda Suicidal
etc.

The Rezillos

The Rezillos were yet another band in the new wave of late 1970s UK Punk. Although "poppy," their speed and energy sets them apart from most of their contemporaries.

Here's a short history.

Here are album clips. It's definitely worth checking out.

The Beatnigs

The Beatnigs is worth checking out (MP3s for download may be found at the link). Their music represented something different and unique in late-1980s Punk Rock. The same thing could be said today (regardless of the out-dated references to Reagan etc.). It was Michael Franti and Roni Size's, who soon afterwards spawned The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy and Spearhead, first act.

Fortunately, after being out of print, you can now get the record.

Cats (Introduction)

This track, called Cats (Introduction), was originally recorded in 2000 and remixed in 2006 as the introduction for Drunk And Armed's second album Only Chumps Pay.

Cats on the roof
In the middle of the night
Taking care of business
Making sleep Impossible
Cats in the Alley in the middle of the night
Taking care of business
Making sleep Impossible
Shots ring out in the middle of the night
Sirens wail
