J’ai essayé de rejoindre Metallica… mais à l’époque, ils me prenaient juste pour un type bizarre. Kirk et moi étions au lycée... Je ne connaissais rien au métal et encore moins à Metallica. Quand je suis arrivé, j’avais deux chaussures différentes, un mohawk tressé et un pantalon baggy. J'étais pas dans le moule, et je jouais sur une basse qui ressemblait à un morceau de bois flotté.

If I had *my* way, Supergroove would release a retrospective of their edgier funk metal. Capturing the vibe I was hoping for in their next album, after Tractor was released.

Nominated to choose the tracks, here's my picks.

An industrial remix of Here Comes the Supergroove by Avotor, to open.

Traction;

* You Freak Me

* Scorpio Girls

* Bugs & Critters

Tractor;

* Scone Farm

* Where the Sun Don't Shine

B-sides of singles;

* Five Word Headline

* Sex Police

(3/?)

#Listening to Crippled by Supergroove;

"These days go on
The nights are empty now you're gone
And I can see
You carry on unerringly

I hope that you don't turn into what you used to hate"

This was one of the new tracks on the epic 1994 EP Tractor. Released as a companion to the shortened radio version of You Freak Me, which was on heavy rotate on commercial music radio the same year.

#Listening to the 2023 remaster of Cult of Personality by Living Color;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mssfWohiig

Originally released on Vivid in 1998, I can't think of a song more apt for the times;

"I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
Oh, I'm the cult of personality"

#Listening to Spanish Goat Dancer by kiwi funk metal band Head Like a Hole, a single from the Flik Y'Self off Y'Self album released in 1994;

This whole album, like all of their records really, is big, dumb, noisy fun. HLAH played amazing live sets in the 90s, and their records do a great job of capturing that frenetic live energy.

Geese – Getting Killed [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]

By Dear Hollow

When a non-metal album is this good, the Great Ape mandates that we write about it – it’s unclear if it’s for posterity or humiliation. But when you have a band called Geese, the latter seems more likely. New York City fowl collective owe just as much of their attack to Bruce Springsteen and Television as to Swans and The Velvet Underground, as its drawling and honkin’ blend of roots rock, noise rock, blues, country, funk, and post-punk is a clusterfuck that feels distinctly like something a band called Geese would make. Mastermind Cameron Winter’s warbling drawls, Emily Green’s smooth bluesy plucking and jagged shutters, Dominic Digesu’s groovy bass undercurrent, and Max Bassin’s rock-solid drumming collide – all in the service of the sonic incarnation of the uncanny. Geese offers another slab of rock’s fringe movements that builds upon critically acclaimed predecessor 4D Country. Like its cover, Getting Killed is both angelic and violent, smooth and jagged – and undeniably American.

While its openers serve to showcase Geese’s two extreme sides in explosively screamy noise rock (“Trinidad”1) and bluesy pop-country (“Cobra”), the uncanniness of Getting Killed is much more nuanced. Beneath each guitar riff and yearning melody, just as much with its more jagged movements, is a dedication to deterioration. Most tracks begin with a solid funk groove or a predictable chord progression, an undercurrent of dissolution growing over the course of its three-to-six minutes. Unlike the improvised randomness so many artists claim as a reflection of group chemistry, Geese’s movements feel calculated to the minutest detail in the service of a parodied and uncanny version of rock music, such as maddeningly repetitive riffs (“Husbands,” “Islands of Man,” “100 Horses”), repetitive cliche lyrics drawled with irony and apathy (“Cobra,” “Half Real”), and splattered movements guided by heart and hate (“Trinidad,” “Getting Killed”).

The blend of tones that exist here is noteworthy, as the sunny country, groovy punk, and jagged noise movements feel anachronistic on paper yet somehow feel exactly what Geese ought to be doing. Noisier tracks move seamlessly into the more melodic and vice versa (the brooding “100 Horses” to the ethereal “Half Real”; the smooth ballad “Au Pays du Cocaine” to the chaotic and arrhythmic “Bow Down” and explosive “Taxes”), highlighting the intentionality behind the curtain of Getting Killed. Winter’s vocals are initially jarringly loud and off-kilter, but just as the twinkling quality that emerges from asynchronous guitar/piano noodles (“Getting Killed,” “Islands of Man”) or the brass emerges in short bursts like gusts of wind (“Trinidad,” “Husbands”), the drawling baritone stumbles upon vocal lines that get seared into the mind, catchy and seamless in their delivery – although initially feared lazy (“Cobra,” “Half Real,” “Long Island City Here I Come”). Geese, while embodying much more than just noise rock, nonetheless captures lightning in the bottle with its layers of intensity giving way to an uncanny catchiness.

Geese’s more intense moments recall the noise rock/post-punk misanthropy of White Suns or the quirky squonks of Black Midi, but its uncanny country twang recalls the clouded and colloquial conversations of Mark Z. Danielewski’s book Tom’s Crossing: yes, it’s a western, but a caricature of it with a bleak heart beating at its core. Geese embodies rock’s most extreme peripheries in a breed of music that is as alienating as it is catchy, unique and on-brand for a band whose caliber of sound feels uncanny, otherworldly, and delightfully apeshit. Sure, it ain’t metal, but Geese offers some of the most intriguing music of the year regardless.

Tracks to Check Out: “Trinidad,” “Cobra,” “Getting Killed,” “100 Horses,” “Long Island City Here I Come”2

Faith No More are best know for their intense, brooding style of funk metal. Becoming increasingly weird with each album after Mr. Bungle singer Mike Patton joined the band.

In 1992 FNM released Angel Dust, their second album with Patton on vocals. As a single, they mystified and delighted both fans and mainstream audiences with a cover of a 1997 hit by The Commodores, Easy;

It's still Friday somewhere ...
#fortnightfridaymusic #defend

"Europe ain’t my rope to swing on
Can’t learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin’ weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
‘Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back"

#RageAgainstTheMachine, 1992

Coda: Fuck you Late Capitalists. I've tried to peacefully coexist with you, the perfect being the enemy of the good and all that. I've tried to fit in with the rules of your world.

But you made that *impossible* to do in good conscience. So now, to quote the Infectious Grooves, all the rules have just gone out the window;

You want to declare a class war on me and mine? Denigrate and starve us? Fuck you, it's on.

So ein klein wenig fürchte ich mich ja immer, wenn ich Live-Mitschnitte von nicht-trivialen Liedern anklicke, deren zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme bereits vieleviele (in diesem Fall: 17) Jahre alte Studioversion ich großartig finde, bei denen die Band aber vielleicht zwischenzeitlich ihren musikalischen Zenit merkbar überschritten haben könnte. Hier sind die Sorgen unbegründet: Extreme - Cupid's Dead
