The Urinals - Hologram
From the Urinals debut EP originally released on Happy Squid Records in 1978. One of my alltime fave punk songs. Reissue on Superior Viaduct, 2013.
I said I needed you / You said you needed me / Mutual selfish desire / I had a hologram X Now that it’s all over / I rarely see you any longer / I plug myself in / I am a hologram..
Ni-HAO! 12/3/12 @ The Knockout
Japanese noise combo Ni-Hao! from Kansai once had an album on Tzadik. Haven’t heard of them for a while after that, here they are live at the Knockout, video shot by Kevin Brown. For fans of Afrirampo.

ONO - Model Bride ~1983
ONO is a unit of transcendent noise-ma
king now in its fourth decade. Both notorious and neglected in their early years, ONO’s unholy bitches’ brew of noisy snarl, avant-garde R&B, gospel-heavy blackness, queer sensibility and extravagant, performance-art theatrics was in a whole ‘nuther galaxy from the macho Chicago punk scene that spawned them.
