DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO PODCAST #1

Well, that wasn’t so difficult. I’ve created the first of what will hopefully a regular series of 60-minute “radio shows” under the DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE brand name, and all things considered (like, I had zero idea how to use the GarageBand software I created this in last night even 24 hours ago), it turned out pretty much all right.

My aim with this thing is to create playlists of music that I like & that you wanna hear; you might just not know it yet. You’ll find clusters of music that slot loosely into underground pop; classic punk; weird psych/noise; 60s garage, pop and girls-in-the-garage; proto-punk; bedroom DIY recordings and even a little undie rock. 

I personally have not hosted a radio show in which I talk, “back announce” etc. in over 22 years – proving not only how ancient I am personally, but how rusty my on-mic skills are, which is all too apparent in this first radio show/podcast. You’ll even hear the local dogs barking in the neighbor’s backyard during one segment. My goal is to keep these to a digestible hour in length when I make them, and to not worry so much about flubs & various vocal tics and bad habits that make up my radio persona. In other words, the first take will always be the only take, and I’ll try to do better next show, OK?

With that in mind, let me state for the record that the band Bette Davis & The Balconettes were a late 90s band, not a late 80s act as claimed on Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #1.

Here’s a great stupid 45 from from earlier this year – FERAL BEAT’s “Canned Heat”. Absolutely love this thing. Here’s what I wrote about it on my Hedonist Jive blog back in March:

When I was a younger man I definitely went through a very pronounced “dumb is good” phase with regard to punk-inspired music. The whole “KBD” thing was in full swing in the early 90s, and 70s/80s bands like The Mentally Ill, The Mad and The Authorities proved that having absurd lyrics and retardo riffs were no hindrance to creating transcendent punk rock art. So it was with current bands of the era as well. I loved simple, minimalist garage punk as long as it captured that Urinals/Desperate Bicycles sense of barely knowing how to play but still succeeding to bash out something brilliant anyway. So bands like The Motards, The Inhalants and even The Red Aunts (!) were on my cool radar at the time. A lot of it didn’t age too well – one could argue that I haven’t either – and I’ve been a lot of more skeptical of dumb-ass rock and roll for at least a decade or two of quote-unquote adulthood ever since.

Until FERAL BEAT, that is. Feral Beat are an active two-person guitar/drum, boy/girl act from Memphis. The fella is from a punk band called The Useless Eaters, which is a great name for those of you who’ve studied your Bloodlands history and such, but not a band I can say has moved me to date. When I first heard their new 45, “Canned Heat/Cold Lover”, I thought it was maybe the stupidest thing I’ve heard in a coon’s age. Like something a 24-year-old would like! Then I listened to it again. And again. And then that feeling showed up again, that one in which you know that the band you’re listening to has moved beyond lyrical ineptitude and musical ineptitude and into an otherworldly, godlike level of calculated primitive, raw and savage ineptitude that’s somehow absolute genius. They made me into a philistine again, one who loves dumb riffs, faggy vocals, awful lyrics and the like. And all was then good. And one of my favorite records in the world right now was so enshrined. And now I tell everyone who asks me what’s good, I say, I tell ‘em, "Feral Beat is what’s good". And now you shall know as well.

Memphis, TN’s USELESS EATERS put out a record earlier this year on Southpaw that we’re just getting around to hearing this week at Dynamite Hemorrhage HQ, but we’re the better for having waited. (There’s a new EP that’s come out since then that we’ll work on digesting in about 7 more months). “C’est Bon” is a blitz of minimalist punk rock, reminding one of the best stuff from TYVEK and that first A-FRAMES album. 

I’ve actually been more partial to Useless Eaters side project FERAL BEAT to date, but listen to this knockout track “Daft Love” & tell me you didn’t just go bananas in your pants .
