And, more importantly, they're another band I can add to my list of "bands named after wrestling stuff".

[YI]

...nothing touches.

[Skummy]

No, not at all.

So far, though, off the top of my head, I have (not counting music actually recorded by wrestlers...);

The Dean Malenkos, The Boston Crabs, The Swanton Bombs, Gorilla Monsoon, The Ultimo Dragons, The Swinging Neckbreakers (possibly my favourite)...I'm sure I've got plenty more than that. I'm also in a band called The Crash Hollys.

[Cactus Drags]

just listened to the new Swanton Bombs album. I think this is the first album of 2010 I've genuinely enjoyed start to finish.

Unfotunately, they are fucking dross live.

[probablyoliver]

Really? That sucks, they sound like they'd be great live.

Also, that Dean Malenkos album is weird as all hell.

Alsoalso, Simon Diamond and The Johnny Swingers is the best name for a band ever.

I listened to Palindrome by Billy Cobham at work today. It's really nice. I don't really know a great deal of modern jazz so it was awful good to discover that.

I wanted to put new Kate Nash album on but I couldn't because it had rude words on it.

There's just no charisma to them and it just came across as an indistinguishable dirge. I'd normally blame the sound guy, but the sound for the other bands and at previous gigsa I've seen at the Thekla would suggest they're just shite. Maybe it's because they're pretty new or because they were supporting, but they didn't do a very good job.

So I'm learning Alpheabeat. HOLY FUCK!! How AMAZING is "DJ"!!?!?!!

FUCKING AMAZING!

I have decided I like dubstep best now.

I am going to work on a project that is a hybrid of metal and dubstep and it will make me famous.

[YI]

What sort of dubstep?

wahhh-wahhh dubstep or droney dubstep?

...and that ideas been done already, quite a bit.

[METALMAN]

droney! the sort of thing that is amazing if you are so drunk you might be sick at 4am but a bit boring at any other time.

and it hasn't. because I'll be all like RAARGH RAARGH RAARGH over some dubstep beats with all guitars and stuff and it will be mindblowing.

[YI]

...yeah, done loads.

Yeah, I much prefer shit like -

to Benga and Rusko (wah-wah/wobbley bass dubstep) and that, it's just awesome for a chillout (anytime). Haven't really looked massively into either though. I will say;

is quality though.

[METALMAN]

bah. I will make it commercially friendly then. And if I had the idea without knowing anyone else did it it still counts as original.

Oh and I like Benga too. Descending is an awful good song. The owl noise is fun. I like to play it on repeat at work sometimes.

[YI]

I COULD BE DANCING!

I COULD BE DANCING ALL NI-IIGHT!

IF YOU'D PLAY!

Easily, EASILY the best tune of 2010. And I'll call it now, nothing will touch it all year.

I feel terrible, a Japanese tribute album to The Get Up Kids has provided me with some good old fashion racist comedy.

"HOWODAYSS!!!! WORDS AWAY!!! I MORE FU MO...it becomes impossible to understand"

Strangely though, a couple of tracks aren't totally HORRIBLE (in a hilarious way). "I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel" is pretty good and "Stay Gone" I'm sure is actually sung by Patrick Stump and not by an Asian at all, that's good too. They're still a bit shit though.

It's like The Get Up Kids had a stroke...I love it.

Is thisdubstep? I have been told I would like dubstep because I played that song at work. Even if it isn't, it's fucking badass.

[YI]

Yeah, that's wah-wah dubstep.

[Cactus Drags]

It's not camp as fuck like the gay monkey song you posted though.

[METALMAN]

racist >_>

[Cactus Drags]

Oh come on :/
