The Lacking Permanence

Ghost Funk Orchestra provides the soundtrack for all your paranormal festivities.

On this, Hurray for The Riff Raff and I agree: don’t mess with bison.

“Is this the music, is this the music you like?” yell The Bug Club above a robotic repetitive riff. Yes, this is the music I like. Tonight’s special seems to be bands with names too sensitive to read over the air in Rural Colorado, like Pissed Jeans, Mannequin Pussy, and STRFKR. No matter, we’ll turn it into a game for the listeners.

If you’re looking for subtlety and innuendo, keep looking because Mannequin Pussy is out of stock.

Mall Girl is not what you would typically encounter at the mall around these parts.

A flamboyant tip of the hat to Charley, who shared Being Dead with me only recently. I am smitten and kicking myself for missing their debut album’s release last summer, but I am fiercely making up for lost time. This evening’s Velvet Potty Mouth award goes to STRFKR, whose distinctive FUCK sat like a rock in a river of glitter and was carefully edited out for the Grand Valley’s sensitive ears.

Packs’ uniquely unbalanced delivery gives me the woozies.

It’s time to take perspective on our hyper-technologized society, through the audio lens of song.

A very quiet night, perhaps everyone is hunkering down for the leap day. Featured is IDLES, who all look like they could recommend a good IPA, and also would be willing to kick my ass for thinking so. Tonight featured more than our usual ration of covers, starting with a not-unlikely take on Beck’s “Loser” and following up with takes on tracks originally made famous by Muppets and Devo.

Is there anything Matt Berry can’t do and do well?
