The Show: The tray four is 11 by 17, and that’s how you load the paper!

The blog title this week was inspired by the track “Xerox” from Melbourne’s mnttaB. As label boss Dik Detonic says, “Whatever the opposite of minimal is they’re doing it again… but louder.”

And on with the show…

The Show: Mixed Herbs.

Two cover versions on todays show.

The Ridiculous Trio drag The Stooges’ “No Fun” back through time and plant it firmly in the middle of a 1950’s U.S. strip club. Maybe that’s the life it was always meant to have, the opening track on a Las Vegas grind CD.

The second cover poses a philosophical question. Can a person be said to be covering a song when that same person both co-wrote and performed on the original? Answers to Jah Wobble, who has reworked the 1978 single “Public Image”. More of his PIL makeovers are available on Bandcamp.

Speaking of revisiting the past, today’s playlist also contains The Umbrellas with a song that could easily have seen them headlining Indie Club back in 1997, even though the tune itself was released in August of this year.

And on with the show…

The Show: In ill-fitting Rupert The Bear trousers.

Video of the week goes to Geno Pacino – partly because it’s a timely, seasonal reminder to start digging out the Vince Guaraldi vinyl. 

Or is video of the week Hedda Mae’s homage to various other 90’s and 00’s music clips?
