Merry Xmas, kittins. This isn’t exactly your normal Christmas record, but then, you already have plenty of normal Xmas stuff don’t you? Here’s some holiday cheer Rondo Brothers style, with Motion Man’s unique yule observations. Not safe for grandma’s house, maybe. Enjoy.

Pere Ubu is not exactly a household word, but their art has influenced decades of popular and influential acts like the Pixies, Joy Division, REM, Bauhaus and others. The songs on their new album make up the backbone of a theatrical production, “Bring Me The Head Of Ubu Roi”, that premiered in 2008 at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. Based on the play “Ubu Roi” which premiered in Paris in 1896 provoking riots, the story is a re-telling of “Macbeth,” as a ruthless satire of the bloated and corrupt state of pre-World War I Europe. The new piece is “Brutal, lacking charm, and without redeeming values, an album for our times,” boasts Pere Ubu’s founder David Thomas, “It is, in fact, the only punk record that’s been made in the last 30 years.” Quite a statement, yet one that a man with his credentials can make, when the music and text is this far outside of the norm. Entertaining, scathing, and very funny work.

Rob Cantrell – “Coffee and Weed”
Perhaps you recall the old “Coffee Achievers” advertising campaign, which extolled the virtues of caffeine as a means of excelling and reaching your goals? Rob Cantrell has a jingle of sorts for the new breed: the Coffee and Weed Achiever. Twitching and nodding between gr8 spasms of productivity, extended bouts of staring into space, and sudden, maniacal snacking, the Coffee and Weed Achiever is an unpredictable yet generally friendly creature so long as the crucial balance is maintained between the myriad active ingredients coursing through its veins. Hey, this is fairly benign compared to most drug cocktails, but they don’t call it a hippie speedball for nothing. Approach with caution.

Not just crazy, not merely insane, but crazy crazy insane. There’s a difference. Check it out. This is a clever, quirky pop song about being mad about someone. Not a new concept really but one which will never grow old. The laugh sample and whistling and humming on this track might be enough to have you committed involuntarily, but if not, the duet vocal will finish the job. Listen at your own risk. Second thought, you’d better not. Nothing to see here. Move along. Oh dear, you’re downloading. Ok, the nice young men will be there in their lab coats to collect you shortly.
