I hear a sound that is New and Real…
– is the opening line on “Blood Splashing”, one of two original tracks (Mars EP) produced by UK electronic sculptor Fake Blood, who uses synth sounds from the future that seem like they are magnetically rippling and tearing through your eardrums and into your life like shiny new toy…
but ya, he’s definitely found a new sound and angle in the remix economy… i hear that one fake blood.mp3 can buy you a deli sandwich or pass for a tip in an upscale restaraunt in those towns where u can still pay with a song
here’s some of his current output compiled from mp3s scattered across the blogworld/hive mind…
Member of Hail Social and Philadelphia native, Weird Tapes is steadily producing an interesting mix of disco tracks using carefully selected samples and cosmic beats.
Here’s some amazingly spacey trance jams for a stoned winters drive home…
The tracks Nikki, and Party Trash are an amazing combo…

“John Maus already had us intrigued with his beautiful and dark OMD-like brand of synth-pop. Then we caught his intense and frenzied one-man show at South by Southwest this year [08] and were officially obsessed. Known previously as a collaborator with Ariel Pink and Panda Bear, Maus is clearly staking a claim on his own with his new album, Love Is Real. In his real life, he’s a philosophy instructor at University of Hawaii with endearingly bombastic opinions and is kinda crazy. Sigh!”
[the quote and great video-interview come from XLR8R.com]
– Reviews of ‘Songs’ –
Apparently, Maus spent five years working on this album, which is a shame because, frankly, its awful.
-Vice
There isn’t one song you could call ‘good’ on the whole album.
-Music Zine
Overall, I can’t recommend this album even as a novelty listen. Maybe I just don’t get it. It seems as if Maus sabotages practically any hint of an interesting melody, lyric, or instrumental part with a blatantly grating one at almost every turn.
-Indie Workshp
Maus’s baroquely deadpan voice – and thats being polite – effectively spoils many a song. Some will hear a little Nick Cave in it; others will hear a man crapping out of his mouth.
-Drowned in Sound
so without further ado…

Del Close and John Brent were a comedy team who recorded the 1959 beatnik parody album How To Speak Hip for Chicago based Mercury Records.
Later on Close befriended, worked with, and quite often did copious amounts of drugs with the likes of Lenny Bruce, Wavy Gravy, the Grateful Dead, and the Merry Pranksters. As director of Chicago’s infamous Second City improv troupe, Close mentored and inspired many of the country’s greatest comedic talents including John Belushi, Bill Murray and Chris Farley before his death in 1999. His life and work are documented in a biography called “Guru”.
