HOOLIGANSHIP

I just saw the coolest fucking DVD ever. It’s by Hooliganship. I bought it at Foodhole after I just missed Extreme Animals, who Marius tells me sound like Lighting Bolt doing techno, which is something I want to see, and, again, missed. But yeah, I heard the Hooliganship track on Bro Zone, which is all steel drums and summer vibes and I saw this kid carrying a bunch of CDs that said “Hooliganship” on them, so I went to buy one and realized I had no money. Thankfully dude was super nice and gave it to me on credit. Got home, put it in my computer and the DVD player started instead of Winamp and a very loud squeeling sound came out of my speakers followed by 20 mins or so of MIND-MELTINGLY AWESOME MUSIC VIDEO TRIPPINESS. It’s all rainbow-colored video game psych, sort of like what E*Rock and Paper Rad (or for that matter Wyld File, which is both of them together) do, but on some special Hooligan tip.

Totally the most entertaining and beautiful 20 mins I’ve spent in front of my computer in, um, a very long time. These guys are awesome!

Portland has some fucking crazy-ass bands. I think its because it rains all the time and people are inside and have all this pent up energy, so they just get manic and bang the hell out of stuff and scream. This link is for a flash video made by e*rock (the guy behind local label Audio Dregs) for one of my favorite of these crazy bands, Point Line Plane. It’s just two guys, one on distorted synths, screaming, and one on drums. And the drummer is awesome! Not sure if it translates to recorded music, but it is totally exciting to see live. And the video is cool.

So now you know what’s up round here.
