Tick Tick (Briefly) Comes Out of Retirement!


Full communique from the secret Tick Tick Fortress of Solitude:
Dear Friends,

Coming out of retirement to briefly let you know about a great show
this MONDAY, August 24th, at the 5th Element.

BLOOD WARRIOR (featuring members of O'DEATH and Musee Mecanique)

sounds like a cross between Viking Moses, Beirut, Castanets, and
O'Death!

BRETT HUGHES

SHAWN GRADY

8pm until whenever, and we will expect some sort of donation from you
at the door.

It's going to be a great show! Visit inslumberland.com for more info.

The 5th Element is at the bottom of Battery St -- just keep going!

Here's a little blurb from Greg Jamie, lead singer of O'Death, about
Blood Warrior:

The idea was to get onto tape the pastoral, rambling, creaky weird
sounds

we all had in our heads. I feel like this was the product of built up

ideas from years of listening to music and years of throwing out song

ideas because they seem too quiet or simple. this was a way of
focusing

on those ideas and giving them the production and treatment they

deserved. Joey had a Kris Kristofferson song he played me that we
were

like.. "Yeah!". I also got really into Townes Van Zandt last year.

XO,

Tick & Angioplasty

Churchill + Autotune = <3



We here at BMJ have a serious Tick Tick appreciation in the works. Until then, enjoy Wiston Churchill's 1941 declaration of war remade via autotune.

Mario Paint

Some time ago I saw Joey Pizza of Nosebleed Island perform a new song at the Monkey House on Mario Paint Composer. Thinking this was a one off, ephemeral underground sensation, and not the first shot in a prolonged Mario Paint culture war, I did not heed the significance. Now, hopelessly behind the tidal surf of the NEXT BIG THING. I bring you Mario Paint the Covers Album:

Radiohead - Paranoid Android


Guns 'N Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine
