MUSIC REVIEW: Do you like Lux Interior inspired garage psycho-billy? We think Majestico has got some threads a little loose in this Rolling Stones inspired meets pico de gallo wax on this new 7″ EP called Love is God. It’s not a Mardi Gras band from the looks of it or a purest roots rock band but it is out today on Jeffery Drag Records. Is this “folk ‘n’ roll”? We think there is more of a creepy roll here that is just getting the weed going a bit. This is the bearded skunky variety perhaps with some shiny specs of brilliance. Music for garage rock fans who like a show with their acid or acid in their blues show. This stuff will last like trails and you will want to come back for the weird. If anything try and figure out how they convinced a Mayan to appear in their video. Give it a whirl and get away from that lame electronic shit. This is a real rock show.

Kicking off Halloween month with a few scary rock songs for bad people who like songs about monsters, ghosts and Goblins. A pretty eclectic list of genres mixed in with Psych, Punk and Indie. We’ll do another post later in October. Enjoy!
Scared MP3 by Albert Hammond Jr from Yours to Keep Scarysmurf MP3 by Kid Dynamite s/t Loch Ness Monster MP3 by Big Dipper from Heavens Goo Goo Muck MP3 by The Cramps famously from Bad Music for Bad People Human Fly MP3 by The Cramps City Hobgoblins MP3 by The Fall Ghost Town MP3 by Bubblegum Thunder from The Cock Monkey LP (Recorded by Steve Albini) – pretty ripping indie rock if I do say so myself. Ghos†Smile MP3 by Fight Back. Punk Metal demo if you like buzzoven & early neurosis Graveyard Swagger MP3 by Sick Figures from Two Ghosts. This swings and has a banjo giving it a spooky feel in particular with the low vocals. Ghost Herd MP3 by Lil Daggers from s/t (2011). Florida Pysch band. Zombies (Ghost Dance) MP3 by Magma from Udu Wudu. On the Tomato label (1989). Song written by channeling Aliens and their take-over of our planet. Amazing orchestration. File under weird.
I stepped it up this year with WFMU and this week the delivery made it to my humble doorstep. Five compilations which will take a couple months to listen to and fully absorb their eclectic and number one hit hand-picked selections. The task is daunting as DJ’s Michael Shelley, Evan “Funk” Davies, Dave the Spazz, Bob Kelly and Mr. Fine Wine’s labor of love WFMU pledge drive compilations with over 125 songs. So if you have not upped yer pledge you are missing out and you may have to wait till next years music offerings. Here’s a few dropped “needle” selects from a first pass. You may be able to grovel and donate to get one of these comps retro-actively but I stopped taking chances years ago. Some are ultra obscure which would take you a lifetime to find so. Enjoy!
DJ Premium Selects: Divagando MP3 by Sexteto Electronico Moderno from Michael Shelley Presents: Music is Freedom Gimme Some Lovin’ MP3 by Kongas from WFMU & Evan “Funk” Davies Present: Starting With The 70’s Vol 2 Sick MP3 by Prince Charles from Rare & Collectable Fine Wine: 2011 Wfmu Downtown Soulville Premium You’ve Got Your Troubles MP3 by Billy Strange from Everybody Back to Bingo’s Bachelor Pad from Dave The Spazz – Bingo is a pet Monkey in case your’re wondering and he appears mixed in on every track!
