About Me

Noise! Noise! Noise! Great collaboration between Dale Miller (Brooklyn) and Tony Gordon (Atlanta) is now out - Thurston Moore calls it "the drum and bass album of the year." Another great duet cd by Marshall Avett and Stewart Voegtlin further expands the Zandosis family sound with a great atmospheric reverb to pick up where Tamio and Sean Meehan left off with the Summer Concerts LP. Another Zandosis CD "Nuclear Winter" and the wild freak folk punk out "Dirtbrain" CD (featuring members of Zandosis, Bon Vivants, DQE, and lots of others) round out the madness. More noise coming from Ben and Marshall, Ben Stewart and Rob (Readymades), and other Van Halen inspired antics to come. 2008 be the year of maximum noise/minimum press so grab these hand-painted luxury items, sure to be sold at much higher prices at the New Museum bookstore down the road, hard and fast before they're set in the asphalt with the rest of civilization! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sounds Like: "A washing machine on drugs" ... "dishwasher having a nervous breakdown" ... "a riot at a burning slaughterhouse" ... "a fire drill during an exorcism at the maternity ward of an insane asylum" ... "a terrorist attack on a petting zoo" ... "an earthquake during a seance in an ape house" ... "the horrified sreams of a baseball stadium crowd as a disabled jetliner nosedives into home plate" ... just kidding ! Those are quotes from Gerald Jablonski's wonderful "Empty Skull" comics. (Fantagraphics) Actually this Tokafi review of our 10th anniversary compilation OGX really hits it on the head: “OGX” merely emulates what 90% of listeners are doing already: Mixing it up, breaking it down and shuffling their way through multifold playlists and across all style-barriers. If radio can no longer provide this sense of excitement, this adrenalin-filled moment is what could come next and if record companies have decided to play it safe and “tasteful”, then it is up to labels like Old Gold to fill the vacuum. Nothing comes closer to John Peel’s eclectic approach than this and the ambassador of “good music without borders” would certainly have liked quite a few of these tunes. And if you can see the wholeness in fractures, the aesthetics in ugliness, the coherence in incoherence and the pleasure of being shocked and shaken every time a new track begins, then you will too.By Tobias Fischerhttp://www.tokafi.com/newsitems/cd-feature-v-a-ogx/vi ew
