the hardest working helmet in show business

About Me


If you fed kraftwerk, daft punk, rammstein, matmos, a defective microwave oven and a murderer's brain through a faulty matter transporter - grand opera written by an illiterate moron - cheesy europop written by a negligent genius - 50% trash culture aesthete, 25% overachieving sleep researcher, and 25% still available at low low rates. thunderous ebbs and flows...eerie ferro-aquatic emanations, kick drum-driven dream sequences, handbrake turns on the autobahn of sonic bestiality, disconnected environmental loops, vintage-synth-toned melodies...and creaky luggage...
Listen to the tunes here, read mindlobster's unbelievable blog, then go to www.mindlobster.com and watch the quicktime movies, and download the free 4-song EP 'the hardest working helmet in show business' from www.after-dinner.net.
