It’s built around a rhythmic string line to reflect the sense of propulsive forward motion."	*	0:14:34 (Pop-up)

Edie Sedgwick	Martin Sheen "Martin Sheen" by "Edie Sedgwick"	Her Love Is Real...But She Is Not	DeSoto Records	2005	Edith Minturn Sedgwick Post was an American actress, model, and socialite, who was one of Andy Warhol's superstars, starring in several of his short films during the 1960s. This is NOT that Edie Sedgwick. Washington DC's Edie Sedgewick named for the Andy Warhol Superstar, formed in 1999 when Justin Moyer and Ryan Hicks wrote some songs about celebrities. After releasing a record, Edie stopped playing in 2001 when Justin was diagnosed with epilepsy and could no longer drive on tour. In 2004, Justin began performing in drag solo.

Chain and the Gang	Rome Wasn't Burnt In A Day	Experimental Music	Dischord/Radical Elite	2017	It's not a TFEB if Babs' doesn't ONCE again try to utter the name of the great Ian Svenonious without any incident. This version differs from the Escapism version, this one being far more garage-y and less Suicide-y. Chain & the Gang is led by Svenonius, the prime mover behind the bands Nation of Ulysses and The Make-Up, and author of two books, Psychic Soviet and Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group, not to mention online talk show host and auteur filmmaker.		0:37:59 (Pop-up)

The Nightingales	Paraffin Brain "Paraffin Brain" by "The Nightingales"	Paraffin Brain / Elvis, The Last Ten Days 7"	Cherry Red	1982	Nightingales (a.k.a. The Nightingales) are a British post-punk/alternative rock band, formed in 1979 in Birmingham, England, by four members of Birmingham's punk group The Prefects. They had been part of The Clash's 'White Riot Tour', recorded a couple of Peel Sessions, released a 45 on Rough Trade and, years after splitting up, had a retrospective CD released by US indie label Acute Records. Described in John Robb's book on 'post punk' Death To Trad Rock as "The misfits' misfits" and comprising an ever-fluctuating line up, based around lyricist/singer Robert Lloyd, the Nightingales enjoyed cult status in the early 1980s as darlings of the credible music scene and were championed by John Peel, who said of them – "Their performances will serve to confirm their excellence when we are far enough distanced from the 1980s to look at the period rationally and other, infinitely better known, bands stand revealed as charlatans"		0:44:30 (Pop-up)

Wild Billy Childish & The Blackhands	Who Do You Think You Are Kidding??	Live in the Netherlands	2008	Veronica Music	Billy Childish (born Steven John Hamper; 1 December 1959) is an English painter, author, poet, photographer, film maker, singer and guitarist. Since the late 1970s, Childish has been prolific in creating music, writing and visual art. He has led and played in bands including the Thee Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats, and the Musicians of the British Empire, primarily working in the genres of garage rock, punk and surf and releasing more than 100 albums. He is a consistent advocate for amateurism and free emotional expression. Childish co-founded the Stuckism art movement with Charles Thomson in 1999, which he left in 2001. Since then a new evaluation of Childish's standing in the art world has been under way, culminating with the publication of a critical study of Childish's working practice by the artist and writer Neal Brown, with an introduction by Peter Doig, which describes Childish as "one of the most outstanding, and often misunderstood, figures on the British art scene".		0:50:09 (Pop-up)

Th' Faith Healers	Delores "Delores" by "Th' Faith Healers"	L'	Too Pure	1990 / 1992	Ok, so now we're down this wormhole again... Th' Faith Healers likely never really got their full due... This song is fantastic. Many of their songs are fantastic... Early 90's gem somewhat buried in the dusts of time... Perhaps it will come around again... L' is a 1992 compilation on Too Pure that collected a handful of songs from the singles of Th' Faith Healers therebefore; Delores being from debut 1990 single. "Th' Faith Healers began life as a punk cover band in which Ben played drums and Tom on guitar. Settling on The Faith Healers as a suitable moniker, they were soon making drunken fools of themselves at every available opportunity. Joe saw them and something at the core of their shambolic mess appealed -- so when a vacancy arose, he jumped at the chance to join. Ben and Tom remember Joe's joining as the point at which they started to become serious about their music, despite the initial attraction being the band's relaxed attitude. //// Three gigs later, desperate to play somewhere other than the Dublin Castle public house, the threesome recruited expatriate Scot and sometime Falcon barperson Roxanne, principally because the promoter at The Falcon had promised them a gig just so he could see her sing. They dropped the 'e'. Joe later claimed it had been stolen by Thee Hypnotics, and a legend was born. //// Amongst the crowd at these primitive gigs were Richard Roberts and Paul Cox, the most implausible record company executives imaginable, who had decided to set up their own label in order to 'go public' with some of the emergent talent they'd been putting on stage at their Sausage Machine Club in Hampstead's White Horse basement. Too Pure Records' maiden release was a compilation, Now That's Disgusting Music, that put new bands alongside the more established likes of Mega City Four and Silverfish. Th' Faith Healers contributed 'Jesus Freak', and soon afterwards accepted the invitation to become Too Pure's first signing. //// In mid-1990, Th' Healers recorded their first 12", 'Pop Song', 'Delores' and 'Slag', which was released following a nationwide tour supporting Lush. Suddenly, alongside Silverfish, Th' Faith Healers were touted by the press as prime movers in the Camden Scene: a loose aggregation of North London-based grunge/noise merchants whose followers indulged in a dance known as The Lurch and frequented gigs at The White Horse, The Falcon and The Bull & Gate. The Lurch (as both the scene and everyone involved in it became collectively known) convened for its Biggest Night Out in November at the L.S.E., where Th' Healers played a headline gig of such alcohol-fuelled proportions that Tom doesn't remember it happening at all..."		1:02:11 (Pop-up)
Prolapse	Government Of Spain "Government Of Spain" by "Prolapse"	Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes	Cooking Vinyl Records / Jetset Records	1999	Amongst my all-time favourite vocal hooks is "The Government Of Spain Is All Evil" -- Fair enough, then -- Criminally underlooked band. Look them over, please... "Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes is the fourth album by the band Prolapse, released in May 1999 on Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK. The album was again produced by Donald Ross Skinner, who was by then a fully fledged member of the band" //// "A call back to [previous album] The Italian Flag follows in the form of The Government Of Spain. While the structure and vocal arrangement owes much to Visa For Violet And Van, the actual sound of the song is in fact far closer to Headless In A Beat Motel from the first album. The song crackles into life with Linda, as though over an intercom, chanting "Be told, retell." Her vocals from there express concern about a death on a runway and Mick's vocals burst in just before the guitars stream up to a frantic hammering that accompanies his rapid and glorious build up to the chorus: "The government of Spain is all evil!" //// By the time Linda has got on to utterances about stinking hell on earth and misery, Mick's chorus has shot off into a desperate screech and rocketed by a few more octaves than one could reasonably expect the human vocal cords to cover. The song finally fades into Linda's crackly chanting and disappears. In an album consisting almost entirely of new and wildly successful experiments in sound, Government stands as a solitary monument to their previous sounds and in doing so, somehow manages to top the lot of them."		1:09:39 (Pop-up)
Nuage Flou	La Vie Des Rois "La Vie Des Rois" by "Nuage Flou"	Conversations Avec Nuage Flou	Fishbum Records / A Billion Records	2019	From Montréal, Québec, released January 19, 2019.

Melt-Banana	Flipside "Flipside" by "Melt-Banana"	3 + 5	A-Zap Records	2024	MELT-BANANA 8th Album "3 + 5" OUT on August 23rd, 2024!!! --"According to the album’s bio, written by the BBC’s Olli Siebelt, 3+5 “showcases the duo’s visionary musical approach and extraordinary abilities as performers: Yasuko Onuki’s giddy, hyperactive vocalizing and Ichiro Agata’s glitchy, cyberpunk guitar, delivered at dizzying speed, bathed in aggressive electronic sounds… 3+5 provides a fresh experience and perhaps inspiration for all.” 3+5 will span nine new songs." --- "Melt-Banana is a Japanese noise rock band [formed in 1992] that is known for playing extremely fast noise rock and hardcore punk mixed with experimental, electronica and pop-based song structures." // "In 1997, they created their own recording company, A-Zap (formerly Iguana Coax), and re-issued most of their early albums. Around this time, drummer Sudoh Toshiaki quit. Oshima Watchma became the new official drummer in February 1998." // "Watchma left the band in 2000, and since then the band has had different drummers on their tours and albums." https://melt-banana.net/	*	1:18:59 (Pop-up)
Kim Gordon	ECRP "ECRP" by "Kim Gordon"	ECRP (Single)	Matador Records	2024	Kim Gordon has unleashed “ECRP,” a new standalone single arriving three months after her sophomore solo album, The Collective. //// Similar in style to the songs on The Collective, the Justin Raisen-produced “ECRP” features industrial, hip-hop-influenced sonics and stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Throughout the track, Gordon uses body part imagery (“Vein to the chest/ Tubes like garden hose/ Pumping in the fresh”) and sings of “rumors of free speech.” //// The music video was filmed in the streets of New York City and directed by Gordon’s daughter, Coco Gordon Moore. Kim Gordon- "ECRP" (Official Music Video) ////////// Gordon is about to kick off the first European run of her tour and will return for a North American leg in August before heading back across the pond in October."	*	1:20:54 (Pop-up)

Friends of Dorothy	Hässleholm "Hässleholm" by "Friends of Dorothy"	Hässleholm	Friends of Dorothy	2021	Not much on this band to be found except that have many explicit songs and are very queer friendly. Hässleholm is a locality and the seat of Hässleholm Municipality, Scania County, Sweden with 18,500 inhabitants in 2010. It gained the city title in 1914 and was then classified as one of Sweden's smallest cities. During the 20th century, it developed into a military hub. After the end of the Cold War, most of the military establishments were disbanded or moved to other locations. In 2000, Hässleholm's Cultural Center ("kulturhus") was opened. It features theatres, a library, a visitors center, and restaurants. East of the town center is the hometown park ("hembygdspark") with a statue called "Snapphanen", by the sculptor Axel Ebbe [sv]. The statue reminds of the area's history as a center for Scanian insurgents during the 17th-century struggles between Sweden and Denmark.		1:34:25 (Pop-up)
The Bug Club	Quality Pints "Quality Pints" by "The Bug Club"	Lonsdale Slipons Single	Sub Pop Records	2024	Last month, the Bug Club announced their signing to the iconic Seattle label and shared “Quality Pints,” Quality Pints is a wild two-minute rager that reminds me of the Buzzcocks and the Vaselines. It’s all about something the band has surely experienced during all that touring: the search for a decent beer in various cities around the world. In addition to the explosive punk-rock energy, the song has a hip-shaking rock ‘n’ roll element, manifested in a rattling tambourine and occasional outbursts of electric-shock lead guitar. Mark Riley gives the thumbs up so you know it's good!	*	1:36:35 (Pop-up)
The Blamers	Sex Trail "Sex Trail" by "The Blamers"	Class Living	Agitated Records	2024	Released in March, 'Class Living' is the debut album from Sydney Rock band The Blamers.

Quintron	Place Unknown "Place Unknown" by "Quintron"	Are You Ready For An Organ Solo?	Three One G	2003	Born in Germany, Q came of age in Mobile, Alabama and St. Louis, Missouri. Combing electronic know-how and sonic flair, he headed to Chicago when he was 17, where he hooked up with Bulb records, who up to this point released most of his material. Quintron relocated to New Orleans in 1991, and during a bit of Mardi Gras magic, met his wife Miss Pussycat, a renowned puppeteer and proprietor of the now defunct theater space Pussycat Gardens. They've been working together on music, sexy costumes, musical gadgets, infomercials, and over-the-top live shows ever since.		1:41:31 (Pop-up)
Camille, Le Chiffre Organi-Ization	Rodin	Rodin Single	Soundflat Records	2024	Here's CAMILLE, the effortlessly cool and stylish singer, rockin' her French elegance reflecting the 60s Ye-Ye girl spirit with this very first record accompanied by her talented well known musicians friends LE CHIFFRE ORGAN-IZATION. She loves jazz, art and fashion and last summer she wrote her very first song. If you are an undeniable fan of Jaqueline Taeib, Cleo, Suzanne Gabriello, Gillian Hills, Catherine Spaak, Sylvie Vartan, Francoise Hardy, Sheila, "Rodin" will most certainly take you right back in time. Camille sings about love, life and loneliness, an original composition about the love affair between Auguste Rodin and his student Camille Claudel...	*	1:45:05 (Pop-up)
Crack Cloud	The Medium (Bureau RMX)	The Medium Single	Crack Cloud	2024	Crack Cloud return! Last week we played Blue Sky, and this l'il gem dropped a few weeks prior on June 18th...“The Medium” mostly goes for a giddy take on old-school Clash-style punk rock, complete with yobby British accent, at least until the string quartet comes in at the end. The lyrics riff on the entire idea of punk — a form of rebellion that’s not too difficult to turn into a money-making enterprise. Even with all that irony, it’s a restlessly sunny track, and it has a video to match. Band member Zach Choy co-directed the clip for “The Medium” with Aidan Pontarini, and it shoes all those cloudy crackers running around and having a great time.	*	1:47:34 (Pop-up)

Blur	Look Inside America "Look Inside America" by "Blur"	Blur	Parlophone Records	1997	Musically the song bears a very strong resemblance to End Of The Century, to the degree that it almost seems like a musical sequel to that song. The song’s lyrics serves as a reflection on the band’s relationship with America, as Damon claims that despite being forced to pander to the US market through acts such as appearing on ‘second rate chat show(s)’, he has come to accept America for what it is. While it is not his kind of country, he ultimately has to stop trying to ‘make her mine’, and come to the conclusion that as a whole, America isn’t all that bad.		1:58:05 (Pop-up)

They had been part of The Clash's 'White Riot Tour', recorded a couple of Peel Sessions, released a 45 on Rough Trade and, years after splitting up, had a retrospective CD released by US indie label Acute Records. Described in John Robb's book on 'post punk' Death To Trad Rock as "The misfits' misfits" and comprising an ever-fluctuating line up, based around lyricist/singer Robert Lloyd, the Nightingales enjoyed cult status in the early 1980s as darlings of the credible music scene and were championed by John Peel, who said of them – "Their performances will serve to confirm their excellence when we are far enough distanced from the 1980s to look at the period rationally and other, infinitely better known, bands stand revealed as charlatans"		0:44:30 (Pop-up)

Wild Billy Childish & The Blackhands	Who Do You Think You Are Kidding??	Live in the Netherlands	2008	Veronica Music	Billy Childish (born Steven John Hamper; 1 December 1959) is an English painter, author, poet, photographer, film maker, singer and guitarist. Since the late 1970s, Childish has been prolific in creating music, writing and visual art. He has led and played in bands including the Thee Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats, and the Musicians of the British Empire, primarily working in the genres of garage rock, punk and surf and releasing more than 100 albums. He is a consistent advocate for amateurism and free emotional expression. Childish co-founded the Stuckism art movement with Charles Thomson in 1999, which he left in 2001. Since then a new evaluation of Childish's standing in the art world has been under way, culminating with the publication of a critical study of Childish's working practice by the artist and writer Neal Brown, with an introduction by Peter Doig, which describes Childish as "one of the most outstanding, and often misunderstood, figures on the British art scene".		0:50:09 (Pop-up)

Th' Faith Healers	Delores "Delores" by "Th' Faith Healers"	L'	Too Pure	1990 / 1992	Ok, so now we're down this wormhole again... Th' Faith Healers likely never really got their full due... This song is fantastic. Many of their songs are fantastic... Early 90's gem somewhat buried in the dusts of time... Perhaps it will come around again... L' is a 1992 compilation on Too Pure that collected a handful of songs from the singles of Th' Faith Healers therebefore; Delores being from debut 1990 single. "Th' Faith Healers began life as a punk cover band in which Ben played drums and Tom on guitar. Settling on The Faith Healers as a suitable moniker, they were soon making drunken fools of themselves at every available opportunity. Joe saw them and something at the core of their shambolic mess appealed -- so when a vacancy arose, he jumped at the chance to join. Ben and Tom remember Joe's joining as the point at which they started to become serious about their music, despite the initial attraction being the band's relaxed attitude. //// Three gigs later, desperate to play somewhere other than the Dublin Castle public house, the threesome recruited expatriate Scot and sometime Falcon barperson Roxanne, principally because the promoter at The Falcon had promised them a gig just so he could see her sing. They dropped the 'e'. Joe later claimed it had been stolen by Thee Hypnotics, and a legend was born. //// Amongst the crowd at these primitive gigs were Richard Roberts and Paul Cox, the most implausible record company executives imaginable, who had decided to set up their own label in order to 'go public' with some of the emergent talent they'd been putting on stage at their Sausage Machine Club in Hampstead's White Horse basement. Too Pure Records' maiden release was a compilation, Now That's Disgusting Music, that put new bands alongside the more established likes of Mega City Four and Silverfish. Th' Faith Healers contributed 'Jesus Freak', and soon afterwards accepted the invitation to become Too Pure's first signing. //// In mid-1990, Th' Healers recorded their first 12", 'Pop Song', 'Delores' and 'Slag', which was released following a nationwide tour supporting Lush. Suddenly, alongside Silverfish, Th' Faith Healers were touted by the press as prime movers in the Camden Scene: a loose aggregation of North London-based grunge/noise merchants whose followers indulged in a dance known as The Lurch and frequented gigs at The White Horse, The Falcon and The Bull & Gate. The Lurch (as both the scene and everyone involved in it became collectively known) convened for its Biggest Night Out in November at the L.S.E., where Th' Healers played a headline gig of such alcohol-fuelled proportions that Tom doesn't remember it happening at all..."		1:02:11 (Pop-up)
Prolapse	Government Of Spain "Government Of Spain" by "Prolapse"	Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes	Cooking Vinyl Records / Jetset Records	1999	Amongst my all-time favourite vocal hooks is "The Government Of Spain Is All Evil" -- Fair enough, then -- Criminally underlooked band. Look them over, please... "Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes is the fourth album by the band Prolapse, released in May 1999 on Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK. The album was again produced by Donald Ross Skinner, who was by then a fully fledged member of the band" //// "A call back to [previous album] The Italian Flag follows in the form of The Government Of Spain. While the structure and vocal arrangement owes much to Visa For Violet And Van, the actual sound of the song is in fact far closer to Headless In A Beat Motel from the first album. The song crackles into life with Linda, as though over an intercom, chanting "Be told, retell." Her vocals from there express concern about a death on a runway and Mick's vocals burst in just before the guitars stream up to a frantic hammering that accompanies his rapid and glorious build up to the chorus: "The government of Spain is all evil!" //// By the time Linda has got on to utterances about stinking hell on earth and misery, Mick's chorus has shot off into a desperate screech and rocketed by a few more octaves than one could reasonably expect the human vocal cords to cover. The song finally fades into Linda's crackly chanting and disappears. In an album consisting almost entirely of new and wildly successful experiments in sound, Government stands as a solitary monument to their previous sounds and in doing so, somehow manages to top the lot of them."		1:09:39 (Pop-up)

Melt-Banana	Flipside "Flipside" by "Melt-Banana"	3 + 5	A-Zap Records	2024	MELT-BANANA 8th Album "3 + 5" OUT on August 23rd, 2024!!! --"According to the album’s bio, written by the BBC’s Olli Siebelt, 3+5 “showcases the duo’s visionary musical approach and extraordinary abilities as performers: Yasuko Onuki’s giddy, hyperactive vocalizing and Ichiro Agata’s glitchy, cyberpunk guitar, delivered at dizzying speed, bathed in aggressive electronic sounds… 3+5 provides a fresh experience and perhaps inspiration for all.” 3+5 will span nine new songs." --- "Melt-Banana is a Japanese noise rock band [formed in 1992] that is known for playing extremely fast noise rock and hardcore punk mixed with experimental, electronica and pop-based song structures." // "In 1997, they created their own recording company, A-Zap (formerly Iguana Coax), and re-issued most of their early albums. Around this time, drummer Sudoh Toshiaki quit. Oshima Watchma became the new official drummer in February 1998." // "Watchma left the band in 2000, and since then the band has had different drummers on their tours and albums." https://melt-banana.net/	*	1:18:59 (Pop-up)
Kim Gordon	ECRP "ECRP" by "Kim Gordon"	ECRP (Single)	Matador Records	2024	Kim Gordon has unleashed “ECRP,” a new standalone single arriving three months after her sophomore solo album, The Collective. //// Similar in style to the songs on The Collective, the Justin Raisen-produced “ECRP” features industrial, hip-hop-influenced sonics and stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Throughout the track, Gordon uses body part imagery (“Vein to the chest/ Tubes like garden hose/ Pumping in the fresh”) and sings of “rumors of free speech.” //// The music video was filmed in the streets of New York City and directed by Gordon’s daughter, Coco Gordon Moore. Kim Gordon- "ECRP" (Official Music Video) ////////// Gordon is about to kick off the first European run of her tour and will return for a North American leg in August before heading back across the pond in October."	*	1:20:54 (Pop-up)

Friends of Dorothy	Hässleholm "Hässleholm" by "Friends of Dorothy"	Hässleholm	Friends of Dorothy	2021	Not much on this band to be found except that have many explicit songs and are very queer friendly. Hässleholm is a locality and the seat of Hässleholm Municipality, Scania County, Sweden with 18,500 inhabitants in 2010. It gained the city title in 1914 and was then classified as one of Sweden's smallest cities. During the 20th century, it developed into a military hub. After the end of the Cold War, most of the military establishments were disbanded or moved to other locations. In 2000, Hässleholm's Cultural Center ("kulturhus") was opened. It features theatres, a library, a visitors center, and restaurants. East of the town center is the hometown park ("hembygdspark") with a statue called "Snapphanen", by the sculptor Axel Ebbe [sv]. The statue reminds of the area's history as a center for Scanian insurgents during the 17th-century struggles between Sweden and Denmark.		1:34:25 (Pop-up)
The Bug Club	Quality Pints "Quality Pints" by "The Bug Club"	Lonsdale Slipons Single	Sub Pop Records	2024	Last month, the Bug Club announced their signing to the iconic Seattle label and shared “Quality Pints,” Quality Pints is a wild two-minute rager that reminds me of the Buzzcocks and the Vaselines. It’s all about something the band has surely experienced during all that touring: the search for a decent beer in various cities around the world. In addition to the explosive punk-rock energy, the song has a hip-shaking rock ‘n’ roll element, manifested in a rattling tambourine and occasional outbursts of electric-shock lead guitar. Mark Riley gives the thumbs up so you know it's good!	*	1:36:35 (Pop-up)
The Blamers	Sex Trail "Sex Trail" by "The Blamers"	Class Living	Agitated Records	2024	Released in March, 'Class Living' is the debut album from Sydney Rock band The Blamers. The band have a mission to simplify rock back to its basic proto-punk form...it’s a cross between rock, punk and retro pop...all the things we like!		1:38:54 (Pop-up)
Quintron	Place Unknown "Place Unknown" by "Quintron"	Are You Ready For An Organ Solo?	Three One G	2003	Born in Germany, Q came of age in Mobile, Alabama and St. Louis, Missouri. Combing electronic know-how and sonic flair, he headed to Chicago when he was 17, where he hooked up with Bulb records, who up to this point released most of his material. Quintron relocated to New Orleans in 1991, and during a bit of Mardi Gras magic, met his wife Miss Pussycat, a renowned puppeteer and proprietor of the now defunct theater space Pussycat Gardens. They've been working together on music, sexy costumes, musical gadgets, infomercials, and over-the-top live shows ever since.		1:41:31 (Pop-up)
Camille, Le Chiffre Organi-Ization	Rodin	Rodin Single	Soundflat Records	2024	Here's CAMILLE, the effortlessly cool and stylish singer, rockin' her French elegance reflecting the 60s Ye-Ye girl spirit with this very first record accompanied by her talented well known musicians friends LE CHIFFRE ORGAN-IZATION. She loves jazz, art and fashion and last summer she wrote her very first song. If you are an undeniable fan of Jaqueline Taeib, Cleo, Suzanne Gabriello, Gillian Hills, Catherine Spaak, Sylvie Vartan, Francoise Hardy, Sheila, "Rodin" will most certainly take you right back in time. Camille sings about love, life and loneliness, an original composition about the love affair between Auguste Rodin and his student Camille Claudel...	*	1:45:05 (Pop-up)
Crack Cloud	The Medium (Bureau RMX)	The Medium Single	Crack Cloud	2024	Crack Cloud return! Last week we played Blue Sky, and this l'il gem dropped a few weeks prior on June 18th...“The Medium” mostly goes for a giddy take on old-school Clash-style punk rock, complete with yobby British accent, at least until the string quartet comes in at the end. The lyrics riff on the entire idea of punk — a form of rebellion that’s not too difficult to turn into a money-making enterprise. Even with all that irony, it’s a restlessly sunny track, and it has a video to match. Band member Zach Choy co-directed the clip for “The Medium” with Aidan Pontarini, and it shoes all those cloudy crackers running around and having a great time.	*	1:47:34 (Pop-up)

Blur	Look Inside America "Look Inside America" by "Blur"	Blur	Parlophone Records	1997	Musically the song bears a very strong resemblance to End Of The Century, to the degree that it almost seems like a musical sequel to that song. The song’s lyrics serves as a reflection on the band’s relationship with America, as Damon claims that despite being forced to pander to the US market through acts such as appearing on ‘second rate chat show(s)’, he has come to accept America for what it is. While it is not his kind of country, he ultimately has to stop trying to ‘make her mine’, and come to the conclusion that as a whole, America isn’t all that bad.		1:58:05 (Pop-up)

This is never explained. Except he gets to wear the costume and say 'ooot' a few times. Paul Reubens and Carol Kane are also in it.
