Zappin' it to ya


Ok I could have easily taken the crown for the worst post title ever created, I was going to go with "Sunday should be Funday (not)" but luckily Chris has saved the day. Let us continue with all those songs we're randomly posting now as they never really fit into anything else we've posted previously. Here's hoping these weekend posts should kick into some regular posting during the week. Pending on what state Dave returns from Splendour in the Grass in, we might also have a review of that for you fine people as well.

First up I am going with the new film clip from Korn's latest track "Evolution". Now while I encourage you to make up your own minds, I have to be frank. The first minute of the song hints toward some catchy yet sinister Korn brilliance but I was foolish to think they were capable of that anymore. People often say they make music in a dead genre, unfortunately I think it isn't the genre's problem but the band. However, the film clip isn't too bad. A very messy sludge of a chorus to boot.

Currently I am on the biggest The Teenagers kick ever. I've always liked them but lately I am in love with their dry sarcasm and arrogant French delivery. If I ever became someone who was worth talking about like Scarlet Johansson then I would want these maestros to make a song about me. I think Scarlet owes these boys more than a "thankyou". (Pix)

Blue Juice are making too many waves for me to even attempt to ignore them. Whacky Aussie who have produced a hooky as fuck song. Who the Bloody Hell & Boudist have already well and truely built the buzz around these guys but I can't help but do my own buzzing. The church organ really adds to their preaching delivery. The track "Vitriol" is backed by a halarious film clip to boot. What's not to love? (Pix)

Apparently, according to Debbie Gibson, 'the future only belongs in the hands of itself'. Well it's 2007 and the youth of 1989 are all grown up now. That means the young adults of then are now middle aged. Then the middle aged of '89 may well be elderly. And the elderly of the time are probabaly dead. How depressing. Nice work Future. (Chris)

Imagine a disco where there is no big hair, platform shoes or John Travolta. Instead, there are lasers, aliens and Captain Kirk. The dancefloor is made up of asteriods, not parquet. You can't park your Beemer out the front, only your intergalactic cruiser. And there is no disco ball, only the stars. Sounds like fun to me. (Chris)
