Neat Neat Neat




Bottom/ Devo's single "Come Back Jonee" (Virgin, 1978) was produced by Brian Eno. Some hear influences from the Krautrock musical style in Devo's music, such as Neu!, Can and the production work of Conny Plank. Other influences are said to include American rock iconoclasts Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and the Residents. Their extensive mechanization of popular music through synthesizers helped to inspire the more modern industrial pop acts of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Top/ "I Just Can't Be Happy Today" (Chiswick, 1979) was a single by the British punk band The Damned, taken from their third album Machine Gun Etiquette. The Damned are an English band formed in London in 1976, notable for being the first punk rock band from England to release a single ("New Rose"), release an album (Damned Damned Damned), and tour the United States. The Damned later evolved as one of the forerunners of the gothic rock genre. The Damned have incorporated many different styles into their music and image, including: garage rock, psychedelic rock, cabaret, and the theatrical rock of Screaming Lord Sutch and Alex Harvey. Vanian's vocal style has been described as similar to a crooner.

Captain Easychord




Top/
Born in Harlem, New York, electronic artist Moby grew up very poor, as he and his mother were on welfare and food-stamps until he was 18. After eight top 40 singles in the UK in the 1990s he released the album Play, in 1999, which sold 9 million copies worldwide. "We Are All Made Of Stars" is taken from the album 18 (Mute, 2002). In 1997, he released I Like to Score, a collection of his music that had been used in movies. Bottom/ Moby returns with Last Night (Mute, 2008). Besides the many faces of his music, Moby also gathers controversy for his outspoken religious, dietary and animal rights views. Every Moby release from the mid-90's onward has borne the text "Animals are not ours to eat, wear or experiment on. Thanks to Christ." He supports the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Sister Feelings Call


Born Lili-Marlene Premilovich in Detroit, Michigan to a British mother and a Serbian father, American singer Lene Lovich first gained attention as part of the New Wave music scene of the 1970's and 1980's. In her early years, Lovich attended several art schools, appeared in cabaret clubs as an "Oriental" dancer, recorded screams for horror films and provided lyrics for the sci-fi dance smash "Supernature" by French disco star Cerrone. Combining her own quirky inventions with then current punk rock and new wave, her first album for Stiff, Stateless, spawned the hit singles "Lucky Number" and "Say When." The cover photo for her second album Flex (Stiff Records, 1979) was taken in an emptied tank at a Guinness brewery.

Viva Last Blues



Will Oldham, a.k.a. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (born 24 December 1970 in Louisville, Kentucky), is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. Prior to adopting his current moniker, he performed and recorded under various permutations of the Palace name, including Palace Brothers, Palace Songs, and Palace Music (1993-1997). Will Oldham is known for his "do-it-yourself punk aesthetic and blunt honesty," and his music has been likened to Americana, folk, roots, country, punk, and indie rock, although Oldham is dissatisfied with these labels. He has been called an "Appalachian post-punk solipsist". Much of Will Oldham's music has received considerable critical praise. Some of his albums, such as There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You (1993), Viva Last Blues (1995), and I See a Darkness (1999), have appeared on greatest albums lists. Johnny Cash's American III: Solitary Man (2000) included a recording of Will Oldham's "I See A Darkness" (from the album of the same name), for which Oldham provided background vocals. Master and Everyone (Drag City, 2003) was produced by Lambchop's Mark Nevers.

Moonage Daydream




Bottom/ Hunky Dory is the fourth album by English rock musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1971. Hunky Dory has been described by Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine as having "a kaleidoscopic array of pop styles, tied together only by Bowie's sense of vision: a sweeping, cinematic mélange of high and low art, ambiguous sexuality, kitsch, and class". The opening track, "Changes", focused on the compulsive nature of artistic reinvention ("Strange fascination, fascinating me / Changes are taking the pace I'm going through") and distancing oneself from the rock mainstream ("Look out, you rock 'n' rollers"). However, the composer also took time to pay tribute to his influences with the tracks "Song for Bob Dylan", "Andy Warhol" and the Velvet Underground inspired "Queen Bitch". Following the hard rock of Bowie's previous album The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory saw the partial return of the fey pop singer of Space Oddity, with light fare such as "Kooks" (dedicated to his young son, known to the world as Zowie Bowie) and the cover "Fill Your Heart" sitting alongside heavier material like the Buddhist-influenced "Quicksand" and the semi-autobiographical "The Bewlay Brothers". Between the two extremes was "Oh! You Pretty Things", whose pop tune hid lyrics, inspired by Nietzsche, predicting the imminent replacement of modern man by "the Homo Superior", and which has been cited as a direct precursor to "Starman" from Bowie's next album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Top/ The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (RCA Victor) is a 1972 concept album by David Bowie. The album presents the story, albeit vaguely, of "Ziggy Stardust," the human representative of an alien being who is hoping to present humanity with a message of hope in the last five years of its existence. Ziggy Stardust is the definitive rock star: sexually promiscuous, wild in drug intake and with a message, ultimately, of peace and love; but he is destroyed both by his own excesses of drugs and sex, and by the fans he inspired. The real-life inspiration for Ziggy was chiefly Vince Taylor. Bowie claimed that the name came from a tailor's shop in London called Ziggy's. Many of Bowie's songs are homages to his favorite musicians, frequently with chords and styles taken and reinterpreted in a glam rock fashion. "Star" begins similarly to The Who's "Pinball Wizard" (from Tommy), while surf rock (such as The Beach Boys) influenced "Suffragette City." Most of the other songs are pure glam rock, influenced by T. Rex, Ray Davies, The Stooges and The Velvet Underground, among others. "Starman," the album's single, has been described as a cross between mod and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", with an exhilarating chorus of Ziggy sending a message to Earthlings via the radio, warning them that he will come to liberate their minds if they are ready for it.
