Taint - Whoredom

Never been a fan of the Sotos end of transgression but, yeah whatever, who cares what I think? This is one of Keith's finest works ... a 55 minute track that lets you just settle into the mire. A classic example of what the finest American noise has to offer the world.

CD released on Praxis Dr. Bearmann in 1996.

The Hunter Gracchus - Companions Of The Porch

This is the psychedelic folk offerings from Fiona and Jon alongside Syed Kamran Ali (aka Harappian Night Recordings, who floated within the Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides collective).

Papal Bull - In Ceres A Pig With Human Hands And Feet Was Born

Joe Murray (aka Posset) and Jon Marshall (who co-founded the Singing Knives label with Fiona Kennedy when they were both in The Hunter Gracchus). An unsurprisingly brilliant sten hansontastic extravaganza awaits.

How People Speak - I Was Tempted To Tell Him That I Had No Idea What I Really Wanted But Decided To Keep It To Myself

A lovely person sent me a big chunk of live Wolf / AM stuff just because he felt like it. Choices like that warm a frozen brain. Just saying ... but that kind of thing keeps a person going.

A C54 released in a massive edition of fifty on American Tapes in 2009.

It's AM829 btw.

Usurper - Fishing For Tripe

!Rejected by THREE labels since 2011, this album finally reaches you dear potential listener thanks to yr pals in the gutter here at CM."

"In 2011 when the Brothers Usurper assembled these recordings we envisioned them as our most wholesome effort to date. A real charming affair featuring two men, a wife, a pregnant partner and the Duff family plughole. So why would it be the one dose of Usurper bumf which various avant-hands got burned by and was deemed too hot to hump or handle? Maybe it'll do right by you, seeing as you're such a family-oriented advertisement for wholesome hetero-nuptials, but... i dunno, Dylan... maybe it's cursed?" - Ali Robertson

"Each usurper recording makes me think of a great day I’ve had with my friend Ali. The great day got better this day when it also included Louise (the love of my life), Collette (the love of Ali’s life) and my unborn son Linus (the lover of life). The recording features my favourite usurper moment to this point. It was recorded in my kitchen. Louise was doing her upholstery next door, and she was hammering on a chair. As she hammered the sink started to glug. Ali had been wandering with the microphone and got it right near the plughole. Louise and the plug jammed blindly together, not knowing the other was singing the same song. It was just one of those moments, you know, Jaques Tati’s paint pot in the sea. I told Ali recently that this was my favourite usurper moment. He looked at me and said “your favourite usurper moment has neither of us playing on it!”" - Malcy Duff

Me grandad used to eat tripe in vinegar (the stomach lining of ruminants but cows and sheep was the bag in North Manchester). Sat in his armchair in front of the telly, he'd take his teeth out, put them on the arm of the chair and chomp and slurp his way through it. Fucking disgusting! He doesn't do it anymore, he's dead.

Tape Salad - Each Banana Is Unique

A bold claim but I haven't checked all of them yet. I'll let you know once I can verify or otherwise ... the truth is out there somewhere! Anyway, what the fuck was Anders Arentoft thinking of and can I have some?

Various - Emigration Disco Classics: The Album

... and now your hips are newly lubricated, how about this sneaky disco / trip house / big beat gem? Quality compilation and whilst you might recognise people like Yukihiro Fukutomi and Salon Kitty (that included Tomoyuki Tanaka who was also part of Fantastic Plastic Machine), really it's mostly about the Hair Stylistics track!

Blood Sausage - Touching You In Ways That Don't Feel Comfortable

The Sausage in question was a really smart UK contribution to the Riot Grrrl correction. A great band with a lot of their own whilst channeling The Fall, The Cramps and early JSBX.

7" released on Wiiija Records in 1993.

... and not to be confused with ...

Meatmen – Blood Sausage EP

Fun dirtbag early US hardcore led by Tesco Vee just looking for cheeks to slip his tongue into. Entirely and intentionally "dumb" ... this is the man that started the seminal Touch & Go Records after all. I seem to think that he created the Maximum Rock n Roll fanzine / mag as well. I have a few of those originals and a big old book collection. I could check but I can't be arsed.

A 7" on Touch And Go from 1982.

Rodger Stella - Death Loop Cut

A few years ago, I posted the Death Loops but a good friend of ours sent me his rip of the tape reissue from 2016. It's far superior to the version of the tape that I posted so if you still have that then delete and replace!

However, this remains true: "two tracks of warped noise that manages to sound like somebody set fire to an orchestra whilst they were playing and they just haven't noticed yet. A reissue of a micro-edition CDr from 2007".

C72 released on 2016 on Mother Savage Noise Productions.

Rodger Stella - Rare Cuts

You Could be forgiven for thinking that this was a solo box but it isn't. You do get one tape from Rodger and another that is a split with Leslie Keffer. But, then there is a live one from Macronympha, a lovely live rock-out attributed to "Rod Heydrich" that I'm assuming is Mr S and whoever else was on the bill that night. Not good enough for you? Then how about the C20 from Beastiarius ... the rare as chicken dentures collaboration between Akifumi Nakajima, Joseph Roemer and Rodger Stella (yes, Aube and Macronympha)? Or the Anarch Peak tape that is a collaboration between Rodger and "Greh" (mastermind behind Chondritic Sound, Hive Mind, Black Sand Desert and a host of other delights)? Thought you might ...

"A collection of previously unreleased material assembled for a European tour. Limited to a small but undisclosed number of copies." Six tape set released on his own Mutter Wild in 2012.

Various - What Will Happen

What Will Happen was a short-lived sublabel of Human Ignorance whose output is ridiculously difficult to unearth, physically or digitally.

As far as I can tell, this doesn't anywhere on the World Wide Wankfest (obviously, the associated picture is just me going about my business at this time of year ... well anytime of year to be honest). It's a sampler of the label with edited tracks from the releases on the roster.

This is a gift from a friend of ours and I've left it in the wav files it was sent. It's not needed but I've asked wm. Rage (on here as Nervous Corps) about the release and he wanders past here now and again so might have something to add.

A CD jointly released on Vulnavia Editions and Human Ignorance in January 2013.
