Bad Romance
From Sweden's Braindamage, an agitated no wave love poem. The kind that's written in letters torn from different bibles, pasted onto surveillance photos, and delivered through an open bedroom window while you sleep.

Advice From A Caterpillar
Paul White and FOE looked at each other for some time in silence: at last White took the hookah out of his mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice. "Who are YOU?" said White rubbing his purple brain. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. FOE replied, rather shyly, "I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."

Across The Tracks
Yesterday, I snuck into the hallowed halls of Altered Zones to flaunt Stay Frosty, the shonky, staggerstep icebreaker from Runners. Keep up with them. If you can. And you probably can. I reckon they fall over, often.

321 : NIKE7UP
NIKE7UP - SWALLOWED NIKE7UP THE WAVE MIX
NIKE7UP's hyperreal, pop-melting meta-edits are a) a new form of eyeball-burning tween psychedelia, b) pop devouring itself again, or c) the end of western culture. Answer = a,b,c and d) awesome. His latest girl-powered video SWALLOWED NIKE7UP THE WAVE MIX is above, after the jump he answers our 321 questions. [Continues...]

What's In A Name?
At this point we'd usually make a joke about the band's name or spiral off on some obscure tangent from the song title. Horse Macgyver (aka ///▲▲▲\\\) has beaten us.

Witchcraft Through The Ages
I once had a dream about a clown that paralysed me with a kiss then slowly, carefully began to eat my legs. That was nothing compared to these ten minutes of gnawing terror from The Haxan Cloak. Taken from his imminent album and featuring Liam from Trencher on drums this is a sustained exercise in stately, dark foreboding.

Minor Threats
(the) Jelas sound like a band falling down an endless stairwell. If they did ever reach the (paradoxical) bottom, you get the impression they'd climb right back to the top and start all over again. Their new album The Body Parts is out soon and you can see them at this weekend's soon-to-be legendary YES WAY festival in Peckham.

The End
When the new A Grave With No Name album arrives the whole world will swoon at once, the earth will spin off its axis and we'll all hurtle towards the sun and eight billion fiery deaths. But it'll be worth it!

Just Pals
StoNu heroes The Chap return with Even Your Friend on Lo Recordings. Here rising star Ghostape plunges them into a dark carnival of crashing batucada and woozy, whispered dub.

321 : How To Dress Well
The sun sets on 3 x 321 Day with graveyard gigolo and hypnagogic Julio Iglesias, How To Dress Well. His latest tantalising transmissions will be broadcast by our party hard pals at Transparent on 30th August. Listen to them in all their glory here and find out what’s obsessing HTDW below.

321 : Beaters
Beaters - White Hate
The video for Beaters' mutant garage gouger White Hate suggests frontman Jeremy Rojas is no stranger to the old rough and tumble (and blindfolds and whips and terrifying dudes in red dresses who stare at you on dark desert roads). The answers he gave to our 321 questions also suggest a preoccupation with the weirder things in life (and conspiracies). If you're having a party you should invite him and his awesome band. By the looks of this they are really good at parties. [Continues...]

321 : Disclosure
3 x 321 day begins with prodigious young guns, Disclosure. Howard and Guy moonlight from their day jobs (being each other's teenage brother) to make twilight two-step and dark night dub. From their debut single on Moshi Moshi, here we unveil the aptly named
[Note: seems there was a mix up with the track titles, this is actually the amazing Offline Dexterity]

Distant Voices, Still Lives
We start the week, as ever, with a nine-strong choir-slash-orchestra from Peckham. This week, Wap Wap Wow with The Round: a literate tale full of swooping, looping harmonies, produced by a trio of Oxford veterans: Hugo from Chad Valley, Yannis from Foals and Inspector Morse.

321 : Raw Moans
Like a Japanese panty vending machine in a convent, Raw Moans is a paradox of innocence and weird carnality. He makes daydream music that sounds secretly sordid, and turns Snoop Dogg sex-raps into lilting lullabies. Here he talks about clouds, roses and the moon, and makes them all sound kind of dirty.

Sisterectomy
No Womb are cranked up and caving in. A delirious, derelict punk racket. We stole the cool title from their MySpace. This demented ditty is from the their live tape on the excellent Comfortable On A Tightrope.
