"Superfan2009 is our inspiration. Superfan2ten is at it again finding one gr8 song a day." Matthew King Kaufman, Fun Fun Fun Recordings
Boo! Ok, one of the gr8est rhythm sections in the history of recorded music, rockin’ it heavy. Trick or treat? The answer is: both. Bust this and watch your ghouly guests go completely mad.

“Like boots or hearts, when they start, they really fall apart,” sings Grady. Excellent lyric. Add grit-swallowing, gut-churning, soul-vomiting guitar work, and some damned to sh!t wicked sexadelic southern rawk vocals, and, well, I’m diggin’ it. I think you will too. Tha’s wha’m here fer! Enjoy with Jack and Coke or similar. As eclectic Texas music vet Gordie ‘Grady’ Johnson Gordie Johnson puts it, “This record really is the byproduct of the musical environment we live in. Cowboys, metalheads, rednecks and punk rockers all congregate around us. Someone actually described us as ’shredneck’ which of course brought gales of laughter.” Makes sense when you hear it. This track is killer. That’s all.

Kissing Party – “I Just Want to Get Out of This Body”
Ah, love at first play. The splendidly named Kissing Party’s minimalist, dark romantic bliss pop gem, “I Just Want to Get Out of This Body” floats my boat like pain killers over a broken heart. Goth-y 80’s English gloom-glamour meets present day Denver, Colorado angst, and speaks of cre8ive defiance in the face of vast cultural isolation. What could be wrong? Hand claps and bells complement the Joy Division-simple beats and guitars beautifully, lifting lustful lonely vocals above the fray to a shining peak where uncertainty becomes something to be sure of. All in 2 minutes 17! Yay.

As I write a Cali breeze is blowin’ melodies through the trees. Spinning this Planet Asia track and I’m loving it. Some 4ward looking hip-hop from a tight California posse with original lyrics, and innovative music production. Kick it and click it.
