1. How did you get into 29?
Jujja och Tomas Wieslander: Jag fick barn 2003, sedan var det kört.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
The Rolling Stones: Omöjligt att säga. Den första jag minns att jag reflekterade över var Jumping Jack Flash som var ledmotiv till en film med samma namn, den gick på TV när jag var lågstadieliten. Dock hade föräldrarna Stonesplattor hemma, så'tt...

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33?
Throbbing Gristle: Hmmm... Texten till Subhuman är ju slående. Jag gillar de där malande spåren; två andra favoriter är Blood on the Floor (vars text bara loopas, om och om igen) samt Zyklon B Zombie.

4. What is your favorite album by 49?
Jukon Speakers: Definitvit deras liveplatta A Sect From The Arctic Zone. Där sammanfattas det bästa, under en norrländsk, ockult och psykedielisk standar.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
Lee Hazlewood: Två repiga gamla vinlyer, tror jag. Räknas det han gjorde med Nancy Sinatra? Cowboy in Sweden är i a f det vassaste.

6. What is your favorite song by 50?
Th' Legendary Shack*Shakers: Det är ett "albumband". Måste jag välja ett spår blir det Iron Lung Oompah, eftersom det känns representativt.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad?
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan: Haha, det är säkert hela tanken med låtar som Ballad Of The Broken Seas ochIt's Hard to Kill a Bad Thing - Själv är jag inte så ledsen av mig så för mig är de främst stämningsfulla, typ som långfredagen.

8. What is your favorite song by 15?
Amy Winehouse: I ärlighetens namn är jag duktigt trött på den här kvinnan, men säger väl Back To Black då. Den har en fin Phil Spector-känsla.

9. What is your favorite song by 5?
Scott Walker: det uppenbara svaret hade väl varit Jackie, eftersom det är en av 60-talets bästa låtar, eller någon av Scotts berömda Jaqcuesparafraser. Likväl tänker jag svara Girls From The Streets! Minns inte ifall det är en av hans Brel-tolkningar, men det spelar ingen roll. Texten till den är så jävla happy-go-lucky, tragikomiskt kul. Också har den ett symfoniskt driv som inte är av denna värld.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
The Gun Club: Peppad, driven och inspirerad definitivt, men glad/lycklig? Sex Beat kanske - fast den är smygsjuk till sitt innehåll?

11. What is your favorite album by 40?
Jimmy Nordin: Julskivan, vad än den må heta.

12. What is your favorite song by 10?
Eleni Mandell: Action is Action.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
The Tiger Lillies: Sen kväll/morgon hemma hos vän tidigt 2000-tal. En överentusiastisk, "övertänd" gemensam bekant och Banging in the Nails table dance.

14. What is your favorite song by 38?
Janet Klein: Ballin' the Jack.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
The Two Man Gentlemen Band: Absolut. Queens County till att börja med. I've Been Drinking! Och så Shotgun Wedding, samt ungefär resten av alla deras låtar.

16. How many times have you seen 25 live?
The Pipkins: Aldrig. Född försent. Kommer aldrig få se dem heller. Lika bra så.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
Slapp Happy: Half-way There. Fortfarande en av mina favoriter.

18. What is your favorite album by 11?
The Dead Brothers: Wunderkammer.

19. Who is a favorite member of 1?
Current 93: David Tibet, men efter att ha hört den senaste platan där han mer eller mindre har ensamt ansvar för ljudet är jag beredd att erkänna Michael Cashmores betydelse.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live?
Laleh: Njae, har haft chansen men medvetet avstått. Inget jag ångrar heller.

21. What is a good memory involving 27?
Changes: Livespelning 11/9 vid Klabböle i Umeå. Survival Unit rasar över scenkanten och tar sin utrustning med sig. Efter chocken lagt sig kommer någon fyndig människa på att spela ChangesWaiting for the Fall i högtalarna.

22. What is your favorite song by 16?
Seu Jorge: Five Years.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47?
The Tape-beatles: ?. Spelar det någon roll?

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32?
Bob Lind: Elusive Butterfly

30. What is you favorite song by 8?
Bruce Springsteen: Men frisk fråga! Något från Nebraskakanske, eller Greetings from...

31. How many times have you seen 17 live?
Al Duvall: 0.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy?
Son of Sven: One Club I Hate.

33. What is you favorite album by 12?
Pole: 1.

34. What is the worst song by 45?
Kool Keith: Något ströspår från Matthew kanske. Svårt att säga, eftersom att jag inte lyssnar på dålig musik.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34?
Jake Thackray: The Castleford Ladies Magic Circle. Så sjuk.

36. What is you favorite album by 48?
France Gall: Va? Är inget superfan, slölyssnar bara.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live?
DeVotchKa: 0, sorgligt nog. Jag misstänker att stämningen på deras spelningar är magisk.

38. What is your favorite song by 36?
The Walker Brothers: The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28?

47. What is your favorite album by 4?
Brainbombs: Obey, tätt följt av nya Fucking Mess.

48. Who is a favorite member of 37?
James & Karin: Efter långt och plågsamt övervägande har jag kommit fram till att det är James. Han förefaller lågmäld och trygg in absordum, med ett självklart patos. Karin känns lite mer forcerad, och hennes röst blir ibland (ibland) lite proggnällig.

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43?
Townes Van Zandt: Waiting Around to Die. Tidernas bästa countryfolk-låt.

50. How many albums do you own by 20?

Yurks... it has been awhile since I've written here in my journal. It's been a busy spring so far. Easter weekend with the family, and birthday weekend with my friends sliced and diced March in to free time nothingness. Here's what I've been picking up at the record store lately.


Martin Denny - Hypnotique
and Afro-Desia

I've known the name Martin Denny since I heard Faith No More cover the song Midnight Cowboy on their Angel Dust album. It wasn't until the early 00's that I'd discover Tipsy and exotica and thus rediscover Denny for the first time. Martin Denny is most famous for the Exotica genre. Aside from what I've gathered in the Ultra-Lounge series these are my first proper Martin Denny albums. These releases from Rev-ola (Division of Cherry Red) feature remasters of the mono and stereo versions of each album.

Barry White - Boss Soul
Released on the very cool Vampi Soul label this is a compilation featuring Barry's work from Branco Records. A combination of his own performances and his production work with Viola Hills, Felice Taylor, and [track]Johnny Wyatt[/track]. It doesn't have any of his throbbing-baritone-hyper-sexual love-capades, so I haven't needed any sub adjustments... yet.


Divination - Distill
Solo ambient pieces from Bill Laswell, Pete Namlook, Mick Harris, and others.

Mustafa Õzkent - Geçlik Ile Elele
An amazing and crazy marriage of breaks, funk, and Hungarian funk music. It's on a label called B-Music. The cover which features a chimpanzee in a sweater operating a reel-to-reel says it all.

Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing
I saw these guys open up for Caribou in the middle of March. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see a noise band opening for the same band that released Up In Flames less than a decade ago, but it's still surprising. They're album doesn't deviate much from my memory of the live set. It's always good to see a noise act.

Jesu - Conqueror
and Jesu
I haven't had much time for the S/T album yet. I've only heard the first track so far. Conquerer is a good listen. However, the monotone synth parts are often to high in the mix and tend to distract from any potential depth in the song.


Channel One - Drum Sound – The Revolutionaries
A great slab of Raggae/dub

Silver Apples - Silver Apples
Weird 60's psyche band. At first I though it was an Indie electronic band that managed to get a really authentic 60's sound. But, no, they're actually out of the 60's. Amazing stuff.

Hi friends,

So, you really like Weirdomusic.com? You think the site looks great, don't you? And that downloads page is really something, huh?

Well, we think our site could use a bit more quality content, and that's where YOU come in!
Do you want to review the latest Jandek album? Or that cool Martin Denny record from 1959?

Weirdomusic.com is looking for reviewers and writers who would like to contribute some stuff every once in a while. We won't make you rich, but your writings will be seen by lots of people and we'll link to your website, blog or whatever.

Hope to hear from you!

best wishes,
