Wendell Gee: Gang of Four

Wendell Gee at Cartel of Defiance has a cool post up on British punk band Gang of Four. Currently touring the U.S. of A.

Reader "T" sent me some music from the label Cryptogramophone. Some of the artists on the label, like Jenny Scheinman are on the more quiet and reflective tip, others are on the aurally brash and challenging side of things. On that note, I find myself coming back to Nels Cline's stuff....which brings back memories of seeing Fred Frith's Death Ambient at a show called "Rock in a Hard Place" a while back. (You can hear samples of Nels at the Cryptogramophone website or his own spot.)

Rounding out tonight's musical mission is another CD that came my way, the Jane Does, who make me think of what might have happened if Greg Dulli had decided to lighten up on the depression and funk it up just a notch. If you go to their press site and hit the audio button try "you bring the Devil" and the more pop/soul..."sad again." The guy can sing.
