La Creme:
Fake Plastic Trees - {unnamed band}

As an avid fan of The Bends and OK, Computer (not really much else of their stuff), I must confess that this song was pretty decent. I love the original, and I don't usually consider Radiohead to be a very coverable band (although I once joined in on a great jam of My Iron Lung). I think I may only have liked this because I was in a really relaxed mood and this was perfect for me. On second listening now, it sounds like the Ginger Baker Trio. Exactly like them... maybe it is them? I lurv the horns.

For pure relaxation value and decent groove-jazz-jam guitar playing: 7/10.

Time for some Skazz:
Skavoovie And The Epitones - Blood Red Sky

Enjoy!

Skavoovie And The Epitones - Blood Red Sky

This song is prehaps the most fun song about murder. I'm not sure if I'm just a whore for a band with a horn section, but I liked this. His voice is pefect for delivering the lyrics. On the down side, their organ sounds a bit too much like they jacked it out of a baseball park.

I next present to you a man who does all of his relentlessly silly stuff himself. (By this i mean he does all of the instruments and the voice himself.

You really think so? Most people HATE the singer and it's the only reason they dislike the band. I'm fine with him, but most skazz lovers (like moi) who listen to them think that "Ripe" (the album with that song) is their best because of it's lack of singing.

The synth at the begining made me tres happy. I've been longing for some good synthage since my brother gave away his entire Belle And Sebastian collection in an attempt to "court" a girl. Anyhow. his voice was OK. It seems like guys who do the Jon Brion multi-instrumentalist thing always have almost the same voice. Even E is close to them. The distorted guitars were unnecessary times a lot. It would've sounded a hell of a lot better if it was all done in acoustic with the synth and a bowed upright bass.

All in all: 7/10

World Rock time:

Not too bad a track. Okish sort of intro, and then the repetitivey kinda bit...I don't know, it was pretty cool but didn't exactly grab me. Not bad at all though, tbh.

6.9/10

Right, prepare for menace from Hells own eternal rave:

Aborym - Chernobyl Generation

(this only really works properly if you listen to Automatik Rave'olution Satan first. Ah well. Listen to the whole thing, it's got a pretty cool build and some nice sampling)

Aborym - Chernobyl Generation

So far I dig the electro sound.  I listen to a lot of EBM/electro and this fits the bill.  Almost like Velvet Acid Christ, but the vocals seemed more horrid and no cheesy movie samples.  Yeah, repetitive electro and drum beats, but the vocals just ruin it.  With the clean and crisp electronics and drum machine, the blood gurgling voice is just ... eh.  Not much else I can say.  Simple catchy electro music... terrible vocals..  Oh!  There's the cheesy movie sample!
My Score:  4/10

Next:
I'll give you a choice here.  I'm stretching to the odd spectrum of music here.  Think "small Japanese guy with a mic and multi-track recorder"...
Dokaka - Iron Maiden's "The Trooper"
Dokaka - Metallica "Creeping Death"

If you'd be interested in hearing more, let me know.  I also have Nirvana, Steely Dan, and King Crimson covers. :)
This is kinda for Khar so he can see what I think of when I hear most metal.
