hi kidz, intrigued to read a review of Chris Korda And The Church Of Euthanasia's album "Six Billion Humans Can't Be Wrong" (on Internation Deejay Gigolo) in the new NME.. seems to claim that the Chris Korda guy is a cross-dressing crazy who supports cannibalism, sodomy, and suicide and has appeared on "Jerry Springer". Hmm. Considering the guests on the album seem to be the very German DJ Hell and Chicks on Speed, is this in fact Anthony Rother or someone similar under a pseudonym and arsing around, or? I was just intrigued. Another news article in the NME this week refers to Scanner apparently 'fooling the world last week after launching his new album by performing 16 gigs across Europe and the US - and sending lookalikes to play instead of himself.' Anyone know anything about this? :) It says gigs took place at Berlin, Vienna, New York, Barcelona, and London, amongst others. Quote from Scanner himself - "it's being avant garde with a sense of humour". Umm, right. Other stuff in da NME of interest.. there's a cover CD including a really nice Capitol K track off the album, and some other cool stuff from To Rococo Rot and the already-hyped Zan Lyons, who's vaguely another of those noisemonger Digital Hardcore types that NME are especially fond of at the moment as depicting 'the new punk'. But he might well be more subtle than that :) (He's not on DHR, incidentally, just in that vague style.) There's an effusive Capitol K live review, as well as a good review of Kid Spectrum/Jega's "Hard Love/Unity Gain" split-7-inch, looks like Planet Mu and friends are a big favourite of NME right now - Mu-Ziq's new album is album of the month, too. Duh, oh and the new Rephlex "Maxi German Rave Blast Hits 3" gets 7/10 and a comment it "solders the Pacman theme tune on to Jive Bunny" :) later, h0l.
