Anything from the Korean label Balloon & Needle is worth hearing, and this live trio recording from 2014 (released as a CD in 2015) is no exception. If you aren't already a fan of Hong Chulki and Choi Joonyong, I hope this makes you want to further explore their catalogs.

Awkward Geisha - Death Metal




The other day, I was listening to Toxic Cock Syndrome and decided that I needed to check out Awkward Geisha. Never heard of them before and where the fuck have I been? They seem to have been a bunch of people diving in and out of proceedings creating what can only be called art. The only deadly metal on offer here is the axe on the cover. Think slo-mo and kinky post-hardcore, forgotten jazz records, slinky noodling that goes somewhere but where is none of your business, orchestral glitch and then put it in a blender ... what do I know? Well, I know it's quality!

Whilst claiming to be a triple CDr released in 2017, this is from a bandcamp site that doesn't appear to exist anymore.

Violent Onsen Geisha - Shocks! Shocks! Shocks! Remix '93




"Vanilla cassette CD reissue series Vol 1: VIOLENT ONSEN GEISHA's 91 debut. Super violent remix with an unreleased, 20 min.bonus track. This is the mega tape wich kicked open the gates of fame for VIOLENT ONSEN GEISHA." Bit dramatic. It's 22:52 by the way. Just saying.

Lossless rip of the CD released on Ring Music in 1993.

MSBR - Collapseland

 

It's hard to choose a favorite MSBR album, but this 1995 CD is probably mine. Inspired by the tragic earthquake in Kobe in January of the same year, "Collapseland" is riveting and overpowering. It was released in a deluxe oversized package by a German label called Heel Stone, which only produced 3 CDs before closing up shop (one of which was the mediocre "Hole" by Merzbow, audibly not giving a shit, though the packaging on that album is better than the music). A strong album among loads of strong MSBR albums and one of the all-time classics of Japanese noise.

The Gerogerigegege / Sedem Minút Strachu - Turn It Into Love / Rehabilit Dance






If you hear anything weirder this year then what sewers do you trawl? If only Japan was allowed into the Eurovision Song Contest so he could bestride the world with his manipulated filth.

The other side is in a different but equally genius place. Sedem Minút Strachu are a bunch of Slovakian noisecore arsekickers that I didn't know anything about until I heard this release. Very impressive.

7" released on K.A.Z. in 2020.

Hair Stylistics - CDR 2




It's probably not true, but I've been told that he would routinely turn up at the DiskUnion store in Tokyo with a bagful of that month's CDrs complete with his signature art as covers, be handed some cash and leave. And repeat. Maybe he still does. Apart from moving in with him, what chance did we ever have?

Another self-released CDr from 2009.

No More War Pigs




Apart from the music, there is a lot to love about Industrial Coast (if you avoid the fascination with Nicholas Cage):

"Last week's one off sale was a big one, & we raised around £900, split between Red Cross Ukraine & Ocalenie, to help in some small way the efforts to deal with the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. We are doing more stuff this weekend. Our noise comp will be out on cassette only late March/Early April. However, for today, its available digitally via Bandcamp. 16 tracks, including Like Weeds, Misery Engine, Miser, Stephen Shiell & Rush Falknor. Its available for 24hrs only. We dont do digital. 100% of of proceeds to World Central Kitchen & their refugee support work in Poland, Romania, Moldova & indeed Ukraine itself. There are also a bunch of new tees up."

Mine is in the metaphorical bag!

Tea Gum Suck Dry - Paul And Candi Remix Tea Man With Tea Gum




The Paul in question is Paul Harrison (former member of Smell & Quim but much better known as Expose Your Eyes) and Candi Nook (aka The Shite Girls) remixing the work of Philipp Volokitin who ran Monopolka.

So, I was thinking can I link The Shite Girls up? The answer is yes but then I realised that this is also there digitally. It's there for the princely sum of fifty imperial pence or more. So, I'll break our rule of not posting available stuff by imploring you to go OVER HERE. There is so much great Northern noise on here it's not true (apart from the fact it's actually true ... Northern idioms probably don't travel that well). He's also on eBay as handybendyvendor where he sells his own music and art and some random shite. He'll happily print up the unavailable stuff as well if you want physical copies and he has the masters.

C40 released on Monopolka, Schmucks And Snicks and later as a CDr Fiend Recordings in two thousand and something. None of them could be bothered putting a year on it.

Hair Stylistics - Live!




We truly adore Nakahara Masaya. His creativity is unbounded and unique ... he is also redefining the word "prolific". I'm pretty sure that no one (not even him) will ever successfully catalogue his genius. His current output is largely via his whirlpool of a site. Oh My Fucking Christ On A Bike ... so so so so good! There is so little of his work out there that it's about time that I resurrected my posts from ten years ago ... with some others that I didn't get around to.

Triple disc released on his own Boid in 2009.
