2017 

"Creepy Crawlies was a stop motion animation series created by Cosgrove Hall. The series consisted of 52 ten-minute episodes, which were broadcast on Children's ITV between 1987 and 1989. All episodes were written by Peter Reeves and directed by Franc Vose and Brian Little; narration and character voices were provided by Paul Nicholas."

Guided By Voices  Ant Repellent   Favoriting Earth Man Blues  Guided By Voices Inc  2021  Guided By Voices still feels outside the mainstream. This might come from the fact that the formula (echoey vocals, tin-can guitar riffs, and bizarre lyrics) just hasn’t changed, making the band feel as if it’s permanently sealed in the past. Pollard has called Earth Man Blues, their latest album and the band’s 33rd release, both a “collage of rejected songs” and a loose concept musical “focused on the growth of young Harold Admore Harold through a coming of age and a reckoning with darkness.” Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from vespoid wasp ancestors in the Cretaceous period. More than 13,800 of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified    0:04:58 (Pop-up)
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band  Ant Man Bee   Favoriting Trout Mask Replica  Straight  1969  TMR is one of those albums that has been dissected by many a music critic over the years. What's left to be said? It's a masterpiece. Over five decades, Trout Mask Replica has proven incredibly durable, still sounding as bracing and radical as any rock music since. The thrill of Trout Mask Replica also lies in the boggling assemblage of stylistic and thematic strands. There are shards of rock and blues in the band’s deconstructed grooves; free jazz in Beefheart’s primitive, Ornette Coleman-inspired saxophone playing; literary surrealism in his obscure yet oddly resonant lyrics; outsider folk in his growled a capella songs; and postmodern collage in the album’s diverse sound sources, which include field recordings, spoken skits, studio banter, and even vocals recorded over the phone. Though the songs seem to reject convention, there are references to musical history scattered throughout the record, which is perhaps a good indication of how and why it continues to endure. Fun fact about ants...they do not have lungs. Ants breathe in oxygen through spiracles which are a series of holes located on the sides of their bodies. The spiracles are connected through a network of tubes which help distribute the oxygen to almost every cell in their body.    0:07:31 (Pop-up)
Blondie  The Attack of the Giant Ants   Favoriting Blondie  Chrysalis Records  1977  On “The Attack of the Giant Ants” the band explores Latin-influenced rhythms, merging them with a goofy sci-fi horror story, rife with mock-apocalyptic cinematographic sound-effects in the middle section of the piece, and Debbie Harry singing the same riff repeatedly. Blondie do flirt with goofy sci-fi themes (Rapture) and while this could be dismissed as a bit of fluff...it's a pretty awesome groove and some very satisfying camp. The largest ant in the world is the giant Amazonian ant which can reach the impressive size of 1.6 inches in length. Found only in South America, these huge ants are happy to live in both the rainforest and in the coastal regions.    0:11:21 (Pop-up)
Fabienne DelSol  Le Roi Des Fourmis   Favoriting Between You and Me  Damaged Goods  2007  Le roi des fourmis was written by Michel Polnareff and Gilles Thibaut and was first released by Michel Polnareff in 1967. It was also covered by Pulp i '94. This version is performed by Fabienne Delsol. "I am the king of ants Misanthropic and tiny Tyrannical and kind No taxes on life Vision of a paradise 10,000 are my little ones... In the ant kingdom, there is no such thing as a king ant. The ant castes (queens, workers, and males) perform specific tasks and work together to achieve a peaceful and working ant colony. The queen ant is given the title because she is the mother of all the ants in the colony. The winged male ants mate with the queen, and a few days after mating, they die. The queen gets what she needs and that’s the end of their relationship.    0:14:51 (Pop-up)

James Brown 

I Got Ants in My Pants (And I Want to Dance)   Favoriting

I Got Ants In My Pants 7" 

Polydor 

1972 

"I Got Ants in My Pants (and I Want to Dance)" is a funk song by James Brown. Recorded in 1971 and released as a two-part single in November 1972, it charted #4 R&B and #27 Pop. It did not receive an album release. A guitar riff from this song was sampled by Public Enemy on their track "Don't Believe the Hype" from the album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. 

 

0:17:44 (Pop-up)
Stereolab  Sound​-​Dust   Favoriting Black Ants In Sound-Dust  Elektra  2001  The first song from 2001's full-length "Sound-Dust", Stereolab's seventh studio full-length. "It was Stereolab's last album to feature singer and guitarist Mary Hansen, who died in a biking accident the following year."    0:28:08 (Pop-up)
The Fall  Bug Day   Favoriting The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall  Beggar's Banquet  1984  Paul Hanley, Fall drummer (and brother of Bassist Steve Hanley - they played together in the Fall during this era) remarked about this track in 2020: "Bug Day - Mark told me to do some drums that were completely random. After I'd done it he said they were too random - so I had to overdub a more regular pattern. And that's life in The Fall in a nutshell."    0:30:06 (Pop-up)
Spiny Anteaters / Nash The Slash  Metropolitan   Favoriting Badaboom Gramophone #3 [Book/'zine + v/a CD]  Badaboom Gramophone  1998  The CD that accompanied Badaboom Gramophone #3 "is theme-based: I asked for all team-up tracks. Some rouipings were my suggestion, others were left in the hands of the musicians..." "James Jeffrey "Jeff" Plewman (March 26, 1948 – May 10, 2014), better known by his stage name Nash the Slash, was a Canadian musician. A multi-instrumentalist, he was known primarily for playing the electric violin and mandolin, as well as the harmonica, keyboards, glockenspiel, and other instruments (sometimes described as "devices" on album notes)" //////// Spiny Anteaters (1991-2001) were "a lo-fi/ psychedelic band from Ottawa, Canada. The quartet was made up of Cathy Cheshin on drums and vocals, Ray Bayliss on guitar and vocals, Marianne Heisz on bass guitar and vocals and Andrew Heisz on guitar and vocals. Putting together a basement studio, they released their debut album, All Is Well, in the fall of 1994."    0:35:00 (Pop-up)
Wire  Raft Ants   Favoriting Read & Burn 02 / Send  Pink Flag  2002 / 2003  From the liner notes of the "Send" compilation of Read & Burn material + bonus items, Colin Newman writes about this song: "A glorious rant. The riff is what would happen if you made Lenny Kravitz nasty. It started out as a piece of Rob drumming, although he completely disagreed about where the "One" (the first beat of the bar) was. Technically, it's playable live, but we'll never be able to because Rob's idea of where the "one" is is somewhere different from where I made it, and the rest of us can't find it - we're not on that "One." This was the 3rd phase of the original lineup of Wire, returning in the 2000's after their initial two phases: '76-'80 & '85 to 1990.    0:38:16 (Pop-up)
Stereolab  Black Ants [Demo]   Favoriting Sound-Dust [Expanded Version]  Elektra  2001 / 2019  The demo version of Black Ants In Sound-Dust, which I like just as much as the studio version, though it is much more stripped down.    0:40:30 (Pop-up)

Empire Ants   Favoriting

VSQ Performs the Gorillaz 

Vitamin Records 

2011 

In its original form, ""Empire Ants" is a song by British virtual band Gorillaz, released on their third studio album Plastic Beach. It features guest vocals and instrumentation from Yukimi Nagano, the vocalist of the trip hop band Little Dragon." //////// This cover version is by "Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ)... An American musical group from Los Angeles known for its series of tribute albums to rock and pop acts." "Their discography includes over 400 albums. The group began in 1999 "as an experiment in transforming rock and pop songs with classical instruments." It later expanded to include a variety of popular music."

Sleeping Panda 

Empire Ants   Favoriting

Lullabye Renditions of Gorillaz 

Sleeping Panda 

2021 

"“Empire Ants” compares mankind’s doings to the orderly march of an empire of ants. This empire is powered by each little ant’s pre-calculated steps and off-shore dreams. The song, as a whole, is about those few opportunities we have to slow down, to breathe, and to look at the ant farm from outside the glass. In those moments, we see the world as it really is – we find peace, and we reconnect with our true selves. Still, Monday comes, and we go on marching. We now approach a total, empire-wide exhaustion; the colony will collapse, and the moments before our deaths will hardly be different from those surreal moments of clarity and quiet harmony."

John Cooper Clarke  I Don't Want To Be Nice   Favoriting Disguise In Love  CBS  1978  Disguise In Love is Salford UK's punk performance poet's second release and features spoken word over musical accompaniment provided by Clarke's band The Invisible Girls. he band's nucleus was Joy Division and New Order producer Martin Hannett and keyboardist Steve Hopkins, with contributions from, amongst others, Pete Shelley of Buzzcocks and Bill Nelson of Be-Bop Deluxe. This album finds JCC at his adenoidal, alliterative best, delivering some of his more memorable satirical verses. Fixated on the daily, warts-and-all miseries of life in postwar Britain and beyond, Clarke casts a wide misanthropic net, taking on everything from track suits to extraterrestrials.    0:51:35 (Pop-up)
Thank  Think Less   Favoriting Thankology  Voice of CHUNK  2021  Thank play a skeezy and demented skronk-rock that’s weirdly toe-tapping. Dissonant layers of sandpaper guitar and broken glass synths grate and stab over a throbbing, staggering rhythm section who just want to dance, but, like, in an aggressively drunken and leering sort of way. Meanwhile the vocalist spits the ugliest of feelings – all the bile and anti-social self-loathing that builds up in your belly during the stupid work week, despite your disappointed best intentions – in a range of voices as harsh as the emotions.    0:55:28 (Pop-up)
Sleaford Mods  UK Grim   Favoriting UK Grim Single  Rough Trade  2023  ”IN ENGLAND NO-ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM.” UK Grim War, rising energy costs, inflation. A sclerotic political class and a divided country. The post-Brexit malaise, acts of national self-harm and other doomed flights from reality. Despair, anger and alienation. Has it ever been worse out there? “The rot’s set in,” says Sleaford Mods’ soulful ranter-inquisitor Jason Williamson. “So much it’s trampled into our consciousness to the point where we have become as one with the Conservative Party. We’re all Conservative MPs now… servants of this really bleak sort of Aldi nationalism.” UK Grim eerily anticipates the convulsions of a society losing its mind, narrated by a man determined to confront hypocrisies, especially his own.  *   0:58:53 (Pop-up)
Quasi  Nowheresville   Favoriting Nowheresville EP  Sub Pop  2023  Quasi (aka Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss) are releasing a new album, Breaking the Balls of History, on February 10 via Sub Pop. Now they have shared the album’s third single, “Nowheresville" s They are an American indie rock band formed in Portland, Oregon in 1993 by former spouses Sam Coomes (vocals, guitar, rocksichord, various keyboards, bass) and Janet Weiss (vocals and drums). Quasi have come and gone over the years, with each member doing time with other projects. I couldn't decide at first if I liked this song or not...but it does get in your ear and wants to stay there....  *   1:02:13 (Pop-up)
Hildegard Knef  Wieviel Menschen Waren Glücklich, Daß Du Gelebt?   Favoriting Knef  Stern Music  1970  Actress, singer, author...Hildegard Knef was as a modern day Dietrich. My opa hated her voice and called her "das singende Kuh" '(the singing cow) but her world weary delivery and smoky, velvety alto was...the shit. This album was her personal favourite. Maybe one day someone who is still incorruptible will ask you: How many people were happy that you lived? And you glide through spirals of memory Through despair and through joy And grief makes you dumb Because you don't know...And the question will follow you Through spirals of memory Do you see tears on faces On faces you loved And you no longer know why it was The seconds of your truth Lying milky over wasteland of memory And your smile remains frozen And the answer remains you guilty And the torch of your ego goes out in the wind...    1:05:11 (Pop-up)

Sean Kosa has been involved with music since he was 14 and happened upon his parents’ record collection in a Toronto basement, thus deciding that music was the solution, and the cause of most of the world’s problems. In the mid 1990s he moved to Montreal and began working in a small boutique record shop catering to only the most discerning tastes in House, Techno and Electro music.

Portishead  S.O.S.   Favoriting None / (Soundcloud)  None / Soundcloud  2015  Excerpt from an Exclaim! review by Alex Hudson Published Oct 08, 2015... "Portishead have been crying wolf about a new LP for many years, and we periodically get updates from the long-running trip-hop band, promising that an album is right around the corner. And while we've grown increasingly less inclined to believe them, it turns out that the outfit did manage to quietly release a new recording: a cover of ABBA's "SOS," which appears in the new film High-Rise. //// The flick is directed by Ben Wheatley and is an adaptation of the 1975 novel of the same name by J. G. Ballard, which tells of class-related clashes within an apartment building. The film (which was primarily scored by Clint Mansell) hasn't yet been widely released, but it's already out on the festival circuit: it's had Canadian screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Vancouver International Film Festival. //// In a review of the film, the Telegraph noted, "The musical highlight is an inspired slow-jam cover of ABBA's 'SOS,' by Portishead. It's a party track for a party at the end of the world."" ////////////// So far as I know, this track has not been made available except on Portishead's official Soundcloud page thus far. As a sidenote, remarkably, it seems their Soundcloud has close to their entire discography online for your [lower-res] listening pleasure... some tracks have been up since their debut, 30 years ago. Portishead (Official Soundcloud)    1:17:21 (Pop-up)
Tricky  Record Companies   Favoriting Angels With Dirty Faces  Island  1998  "Angels with Dirty Faces is the third album of English musician Tricky, released in 1998. The title is taken from the film of the same name. This song is one of a few on the album featuring the guitar playing of Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian." Lyrical excerpt: "Why the fuck do they keep making those guns? / Chew compassion save some sons / Why'd you keep buying their guns / Foolish, life's too short for stray bullets / Why'd you keep buying their guns / Foolish / Corporate companies love when they kill themselves / It boost up the record sales / Why'd you keep making your guns? / Chew compassion save some sons / Why'd you keep buying your guns? / Foolish / Life's too short for stray bullets / Record companies love when they kill themselves / It boost up the record sales..."    1:20:46 (Pop-up)
Prolapse  Outside Of It (Peel Session)   Favoriting John Peel Session 08.04.97  Precious Recordings  1997 / 2022  "Prolapse formed in the summer of 1991 at Leicester Polytechnic's Friday night disco, "with the aim of being the most depressing band ever". Of the six members—vocalists Mick Derrick and Linda Steelyard, guitarists David Jeffreys and Patrick Marsden, bassist Mick Harrison, and drummer Tim Pattison—only Harrison and Pattison had performed together. In a 1999 interview, Steelyard stated that the name was chosen "to indicate something undesirable in a miserable sort of way, rather than unsavoury. Unfortunately, we have come to realise that it makes some people think of arses."" Also quoted by Steelyard: "Me and Scottish Mick were going out for some of the time, not going out for the rest of the time. If we hadn’t been in a relationship we might have sounded exactly the same but I suspect not." —Linda Steelyard, interviewed about Prolapse in 2007. (Mick Derrick adds later in the interview, “The lyrics were by and large improvised, to the point where if we did live radio we would make up a song from scratch.”) You can find Prolapse's page here: Prolapse Bandcamp    1:25:01 (Pop-up)

The Third Eye Foundation 

Wake The Dead   Favoriting

Wake The Dead 

Ici d’Ailleurs 

2018 

The Third Eye Foundation is the project of Matt Elliott, originally from Bristol, England and now based in France. "Matt Elliott's work as the Third Eye Foundation melds layers of droning noise with clattering drums and harrowing samples, resulting in disturbing yet captivating reflections of a life plagued by fear and hopelessness. Elliott originated from Bristol, England, and his work has combined influences from the city's space rock, drum'n'bass, and trip-hop scenes. He'll often combine supremely fast, chopped-to-smithereens breaks with other drums or samples that are heavily slowed down or stretched out, producing an extremely disorienting effect. Following a burst of activity resulting in several acclaimed albums, singles, and remixes from 1996 to the beginning of the 21st century, Elliott put the Foundation on hold and focused on writing downcast, experimental folk-influenced songs under his own name, but he's revived the project on occasion."

Negativland  No Business Again   Favoriting No Business  MCOM  2005  No Business is the tenth album by the sound collage band Negativland. While the songs encompass a variety of topics, the overarching theme of the album is copyright issues, especially those pertaining to peer-to-peer file sharing. The album is especially unique in Negativland's body of work because it is their first to not contain any original sounds by Negativland, but use exclusively "stolen" sound.    1:50:07 (Pop-up)
Mozart Estate  Record Store Day   Favoriting Record Store Day Single  Cherry Red  2021  Mozart Estate, formerly known as Go-Kart Mozart, are an English indie pop band founded by Lawrence, previously of the bands Felt and Denim. Regarding RSD, critics (and indeed, record retailers) have long derided the event’s penchant for novelty discs and lack of discerning curation. (Because we really needed that Cable Guy OST reissued on vinyl, right?) There is an international shortage of the various components required in vinyl manufacture, as well as a backlog exacerbated by last year’s pop-heavy release schedule. This means indie bands and labels are getting priced out of being able to afford pressing vinyl. Music fans can't afford it...touring schedules and release schedules are at the mercy of the pressing plant delays...and well..there are no winners here. Except maybe Taylor Swift...and lazy ass record executives and some prominent artists who had already doubled down on digital streaming services...for whom the vinyl resurgence was an inconvenience that forced them to actually, you know....work. With the destruction of the Apollo masters plant in a fire a few years ago, the writng was on the wall. If you want to buy a new vinyl record in coming days weeks months and years...you will now be paying up to 40% more for the pleasure. MAJOR LABELS EVENTUALLY RUIN EVERYTHING.    1:50:52 (Pop-up)
The Clash  Hitsville UK   Favoriting Sandinista!  CBS  1980  Sandinista! is the fourth studio album by the English band the Clash. It was released on 12 December 1980 as a triple album containing 36 tracks, with 6 songs on each side. Anticipating the "world music" trend of the 1980s, it features funk, reggae, jazz, gospel, rockabilly, folk, dub, rhythm and blues, calypso, disco, and rap. For the first time, the band's traditional songwriting credits of Strummer and Jones were replaced by a generic credit to the Clash, and the band agreed to a decrease in album royalties in order to release the 3-LP at a low price. Hitsville UK's title is a nod to Motown Records, which used the moniker "Hitsville U.S.A." in its advertising and to refer to the label's first headquarters in Detroit. The lyrics refer to the emerging indie scene in British music in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which is held in contrast to the "mutants, creeps and musclemen" of the major labels with their "expense accounts" and "lunch discounts", making "AOR" and using "chart-hyping" to sell their records. References are made to a number of UK independent labels (Lightning, Small Wonder, Rough Trade, Fast Product and Factory).    1:53:00 (Pop-up)
Lee Perry & Dub Syndicate  Train To Doomsville   Favoriting Pay It All Back Vol. 2  ON U Sound  1988  The second in the Pay It All Back series collects more rare cuts and album tracks from producer Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound label. The songs are representative of the label's trademark techniques, with Lee Perry's "Train to Doomsville" illustrating Sherwood's penchant for recycling rhythm tracks (copped here from a Dub Syndicate album)...In this song Perry recites the names of many of the labels on which he has appeared on and not...in a positive light...exhorting them to "burn down your offices"...perhaps as he infamously burned down his own Black Ark studio in 1978.    1:57:23 (Pop-up)

Opium Jukebox 

EMI   Favoriting

Never Mind The Bhangra: A Tribute To The Sex Pistols 

Caroline Records 

2002 

Allmusic album review [excerpt] by Tim DiGravina "Opium Jukebox kick out the jams sitar-style, blending wit and reverence in their warped ode to the Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bhangra. This time around, the Jukebox consists of madcap loud-music impresario and Pigface guru Martin Atkins, industrial pop engineer Julian Beeston, Evil Mothers guitarist Bobdog Catlin, and tabla and sitar multi-instrumentalist Rahul Sharma. As on Music to Download Pornography By, the band's somewhat sarcastic intentions make for some seriously complex and artful musical results. The album starts with two relatively faithful covers. The band's first take on "Anarchy in the U.K." zips along via exotic instrumentation and translates the original's catchy melodies and crazed energy to a tee. "God Save the Queen" keeps the same Indian feel but takes off, thanks to a wobbly drum'n'bass undercurrent and brittle flutes that replace Johnny Rotten's chant of "no future." "Pretty Vacant," "Bodies," "Holidays in the Sun," "New York," and "EMI" are harder to recognize, as the band takes on a more abstract route of repeated loops, tropical dub, and woozy buried melodies."

Will Powers  Dancing For Mental Health   Favoriting Adventures In Success  Lynn Goldsmith  1983  Will Powers was the stage name used by celebrity photographer Lynn Goldsmith when she created a self-help comedy music album. The 1983 album, entitled Dancing for Mental Health, used affirmations set to music to poke fun at the self-help entrepreneurs who "build the listener's inner self and encourage personal growth through the thought that anything is possible". Will Powers is portrayed by Goldsmith during the spoken word sections as well as in the sung sections, her voice shifted downward in pitch to sound male. Key musical collaborators were Jacob Brackman and Steve Winwood. Additional contributors to the recording included Sting, Nile Rodgers, Todd Rundgren, Carly Simon and Tom Bailey.    2:07:39 (Pop-up)

big fan of early Adam Ant, up thru "Prince Charming." Started off with a slew of super fun Ramones-y punk songs, "Dirk Wears White Sox" is excellent gloomy post-punk, his breakthru "Kings of the Wild Frontier" introduced 2 drummers playing African rhythms (which made a big impact on me, as did later Peter Gabriel and Talking Heads excursions into that territory) mixed with things like Link Wray guitar, surreal lyrics ("Picasso on the Planet of the Apes," anyone?) and unique vocal fx like yodeling, making him kind of a male Nina Hagen or Kate Bush.
Then he dropped all that, went bubblegum, and he lost me. So there ya go. (Hey, you asked!)
