I Am Fuel, You Are Friends has posted a nifty array of Quarrymen MP3s. For those unaware, The Quarrymen would eventually leave water, lose their gills, learn to live on land, kill a bunch of mastodon and evolve into The Beatles. Mayhap you have heard of them.

The whole story can be found on her site as well, although perhaps in a more understandable form, so go check it out.

Listen. Get This: Ministry Motor Oil

Yes, you're looking at a thing of motor oil that was used back in 1991 to promote Ministry's classic, "Jesus Built My Hotrod." It's on eBay from WFMU. And amazingly, as I write this: no bids.

I'm tempted to bid, myself. That song helped me get through college. Is that sad? This is all very sad, isn't it?

Album Review: Josef K - Entomology

Label: Domino Records

Josef K, named after a Kafka character, were a terrific Scottish band of the early 80s who wore their misery and angst on their sleeves. Their music is reminiscent of that weird kid at school who made everone knuckle under with a darting stare or a few phrases.

Josef K were a dark lot who created solid art pop records in the vein of Magazine, Televison or the Velvet Underground. They had attitude, spite and a keen sense of pop melody that Devo would kill for. Although they initially seemed to be a brief blip on the UK pop scene at the time, in retrospect they were massively important.

Beatles + horn section + string section = all you need. And, you know, maybe some love too. If you can squeeze it in.
