Die! Die! Die!, DZ, The Mint Chicks, Tucker B's
Wedding Messages For Jonny

As some of you would already know, I got married about a month ago. Chief Editor and head of our Euro Department Mike Punch was the best man and, in an attempt to foil our strict 'no presents' policy, he organised a bunch of my favourite musicians to record special little wedding messages. The results are fairly spine-tinglingly lovely.

SPOD
Superfrenz


At the orgasmic, gooey epicentre of this record there is a three minute epic entitled Time Maggots Eating The Flesh Of Destiny. It's the kind of song that rips out your soul and then flosses it's teeth with your soul's soul. It is unashamed fuzzy lo-fi white boy rap and immediately after it's abrupt head first dive into an electronic feedback finale it begs to be replayed.
