April Fools


Meh. I got nothing.

Have a couple from the great state of New Zealand



Bill Direen is hard to describe. He's been making interesting music since the dawn of time along with theater and writing and god knows what else. He's one stop art shopping. And he seems like the kind of guy who just does it all and doesn't give a fuck if anybody pays attention or not. He's just going to do it anyway.
On this one he does a redux of "Alien" from his "Six Impossible Things" 7" (of which 100 were pressed I have been told) with Chris Knox and Mike Dooley who were together in the seminal NZ bands Toy Love & the Enemy. The band trees of all three participants are long and complicated and I'm hungry. You can investigate that shit on your own dime. It's worth it.

On the other side the song is "Skulls" and he's joined by Alan Meek who was in a few incarnations of the Bilders/Builders as well as the Victor Dimisich Band and the Vacuum. (You have some googling to do, my friend.)



This is Shayne Carter post-Straitjacket Fits and in his youth a member of the Doublehappys. It's instrumental. It's on SubPop. Let that be your guide.
