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

Won't Someone Please Tell the World Who The Condo Fucks Are?

God the new Condo Fucks long player "Fuckbook" has been the promo copy generating the most buzz inside the BMJ home office lately. Who are these guys? Where did they come from? Who cares. This raw romp of an LP tears a hole through 2009's perfunctory releases from bloated bands, ahem -U2, Bruce- ahem.


The accomanying press release sheds little light on the enigmatic Condo Fucks:

Legendary New London, CT trio the Condo Fucks returned to the stage last March after a long absence from the Tri-State Area's concert circuit. A secretive Hoboken rehearsal was recorded and is being released March 24, 2009 by Matador as the LP/CD, Fuckbook. Eschewing such Condo Fucks originals as ‘Fuckin’ Gary Sandy’ and ‘Let’s Get Rid Of New Haven’, the trio – Georgia Condo (drums), Kid Condo (guitar), and James McNew (bass) – instead tear through covers of The Small Faces, Richard Hell, Beach Boys, Electric Eels, Troggs, Flaming Groovies and Slade classics in the style that previously won them so much acclaim from the Nutmeg State’s music journalists and radio programmers all those years ago. In the go-go 1990s, the Condo Fucks released 4 titles on the Matador label, some of which were prominently advertised on the inner sleeve of Yo La Tengo’s I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One. Sadly, these titles are long out of print and we are unable to provide the media with copies. With Fuckbook, a full tour of major Connecticut nightspots is planned upon release.

The First Condo Fucks Single "What’cha Gonna Do About It?" can be downloaded gratis from Matador's website here. The rest of the album might be easily found by googling: "condo fucks fuckbook mediafire". Not that we endorse that sort of thing, publically.
