Black Lips Over Breakfast
I want to say that’s one thing I love about Canada so much:
In Montreal, I made out with about five chicks on stage
and last night was about the same. And that’s awesome.
I LIKE POP MUSIC!
…For the most part. About 80-90% of the music I listen to I consider catchy, pop numbers, one way or another. I agree with Jay, the pop master, that when you get away from the basic pop song, you lose people. I dig primitive, guerrila sounds, like the Black Lips and King Khan. Usually, most of my modern favorites are lo-fi to some extent or another and quite noisy, at that. Basically, it boils down to what are you going to do with pop music that makes you stand out to me. I suppose I have a few favorites here and there that lack this quality, but most are cutting edge, even if they’re not the most original cats around, try and wrap that around your dome. Quality doesn’t equal clean production. Far more often than not, it means some slick shits are doing the devil’s work and doing a fine job. The public overwhelmingly has been conditioned to eat up pounds of sugar coated mindless,souless,balless, garbage from the biggest corporate cocksuckers known to mankind. Some seriously sick motherfuckers that I’m surprised haven’t become extinct yet- due to overload of the stomach, having been pumped too much santanic sperm. I don’t know, what happened when, but it’s been decades, long before this radical nerd was even considered for existence, of horseshit ramming down our throats, perhaps they’re slipping roofies in the kids meals at Micky Dees? Anyway, if one were to take a quick paroozle (yeah, idk the spelling Glen!) of my album collection, mainstreamers if any readin’, would probably think I’m crazy, totally mad, fucked in the head, when I say I like pop music… with the likes of The Stooges, Ween, No Age, Big Black, etc present. I’ve streamed and screamed for too long, I’ll leave y’all with a poppy favorite of mine.

A KLYAM Confession
Yeah, proceed to diss me for eternity, but I’ve got to admit that I thoroughly enjoy playing “Sexy Bitch” on guitar with bass on the amp turned all the way up and tone on the guitar turned all the way down. It’s fun.
And the sexy bitch of the day is:
Song of the Day: Slushy
The weather reminded me of this sorta.

Grade: A
Comments: I’m always glad to hear “new”- meaning music I’ve never heard before- material from my favorite artists. Being a massive Jay Retard fan, I had to check out his earlier, Synth Punk band, The Lost Sounds. This was their last record and it is simply a delight. Much of it sounds nothing like Jay’s previous and later works. This is obviously due in part to the excessive (in a good way!) use of keyboards and vocalist/guitarist/synthist lol, Alicja Trout. “There’s Nothing” is a solid opener and sets the mood for the rest of the album. In fact, the songs do not really vary in sound/presentation all that much, but I do not see that as a flaw, it works very well here. The songs nicely flow into one another, creating an entire experience, rather than simply some songs thrown together, which often happens with other records. With that being said, the best tracks are at the beginning and the end, as indicated above. Most of this record, as I mentioned before, to me, does not resemble other Reatarded music, but the track “Mechanical Feelings” really does, especially the lines “don’t count me out, don’t count me out, I’ll scream and shout, don’t count me out.” The “ohh no no no, they won’t get me, they won’t get me” in Jay’s “Waiting for Something,” but faster and more intense. Anyone? Well, for me they sound alike. The LP concludes with the triumphant, “Bombs Over M.O.M.” one cannot help but chant along to the impassioned chorous, “All the Walls are Falling, Falling DOWN!” Trout then continues to sing, “FALLING FALLING FALLING….” for what seems like an eternity. Excellent closer, one of the best I have ever heard. Most closers are weak, in my opinion, parce que, they make overly ambitious attempts to floor the listener with an EPIC! ending. BOM is just right. This record honestly sounds like it could be a follow-up to 2009’s Watch Me Fall , if Jay added synth and a feamle vocalist. In other words, it’s nothing like his earlier Reatards work and in some ways sounds futuristic, if you will. All in All, I recommend this to Jay fans and anyone else. It’s KLYAM RECOMMENDED, but I’m not grabbing that little logo lol.
