The Collections

Will — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:37:16 +0000

The Collections DVD by Max Juren and Jill Pangallo is about what people save and why they save it. The DVD features twelve short interviews with collectors that provide a jumping off point for Max and Jill’s multi-genre video and performance work. Their impulsive and improvisational responses cross-pollinate with the interviews to create a delightfully inexplicable meditation on the topic of stuff. It’s a new, 40-minute collection unto itself, completed from start to finish in just one month’s time.

Zom Zoms – Vinyl EP 12″ (45 RPM)

Zom Philmapster and Zoms Frenchman have come a long way since the pair’s ‘03 debut, Lumboba’s Tube. This EP has enlisted the help of Zom’s cousin Phil and Seth Nemic on Roland SH-101 and Moog Source, respectively. Originally released in ‘05, several months before the album “Yellow Rainbow,” it contains two non-album tracks, “Love Story,” and “EEE OOO.” Zom Zoms, a now defunct Austin synth-punk band, played several SXSW festivals, and toured extensively throughout the U.S. Their spazzy music has been likened to the Residents, XTC, and also Captain Beefheart’s stream-of-conscious type lyrical frivolity. It sounds even more like Beefheart when played at 33 RPM!

Business Deal Top 40!

Business Deal Top 40 CD

Sporting jingles and fake bands galore, this compilation, released in the summer of ‘05, is a must have for people who want to listen to weird, fun music. Gene Defcon opens the compilation, being number 40 on the list, and it counts up to number 1 with an announcer bubbling over, naming one-off bands like they are the next big thing. Highlights include Cavedweller, the Telephone Company, Fishboy, Gene Defcon, and Yellow Fever (who go under the moniker “Fart Face” as an inside joke). A fun game to play is to listen for fake bands that include vocalists of bands who have already placed on the Top 40. Insanity! That’s what this compilation is!
