Risque Rhythm

Ok, back at you again! Thanks for the couple of notes that I received. It's because of you that i am making this attempt again! I know it sounds childish and insecure (which i am both!) but i like to feel like there's actually SOMEBODY there behind the blinking glass...

Well, to start up with anew, here are some ace jump blues that is naughty, naughty, and therefore all the better.

Tones On Tails

Ok. First post in forever, I know. Just haven't felt like it in a long time, seeing as nobody leaves any messages (ok, with the odd random exception, and i thank you for those) so it feels like pissing into the ocean.

So, please, take a second, tell me where you are and who you are and whatever else you want to say.

Anyway, enough whining.



This is Tones on Tail, post-Bauhaus, pre-Love and Rockets and superior to both (blasphemy!). Silly, minimal industrialish pop genius. Enjoy.

Biting My Nails


This record is back from 1989. Again, the culprits behind my finding out about this band was mtv's 120 minutes. When I heard "Biting My Nails", not only did I identify with the lyrics (and, unfortunately, I still do bite my nails, or rather, what is left of my freakish nubs), but I dug the Mark E Smith-y vocal delivery and the poppy hooks. Their latter more clubby dub stuff is interesting too, but I wish they had done more things along this line. Oh and the name of the band itself is one of the best ever:

1. Blue Eyed Boy
2. Lucky Luke
3. On TV
4. Probably A Robbery
5. Traitor
6. Space Gladiator
7. Murder Music
8. Biting My Nails
9. Pocket Porn
10. Can't Get Used To Losing You
11. The Phantom, It's In There
12. Ozone Breakdown
