My shrine of worship.

This is the latest addition to my wall. A shrine for my k-pop amazingness.
Flawless, if I may say so myself.

Och nu blir det tutti frutti! (NSFW if your workplace doesn't approve of black&white boobs)

Feedback, sex and flexidisc. Les Demoniaques are Dum Dum Girls' leader Dee Dee Penny and Tamaryn who've come together to make feedback-filled music. If anyone is actually surprised by that artistic direction, raise your hand so we can have a laugh at your expense. Their first release is a cover of Jesus & The Mary Chain's classic Teenage Lust. Stripped down, drum-less but dark, pensive, sexy and potent. Really good.


Les Demoniaques- Teenage Lust by truepanther

The release itself is limited to a 1000 copies and comes on a one-sided post-card flexi disc. Yes, the vinyl groove is cut on plastic covered cardboard and it sounds like it with constant additional white noise in the background. But there's a download code to the MP3 included and really, this release is all about novelty and coolness value. I doubt I'll play this one very frequently. On the other hand the MP3 has seen substantial play this last week.

She grew so lonely in the end, the angels picked her for their friend

Fact 1. 60s girlbands has some of the best pop ever recorded.
Fact 2. The Shangri-Las could make the most camp subject sound like a matter of life and death.
Fact 3. Out On The Streets is better than most of The Beatles work.

So buying this nicely packaged double CD wasn't a choice. It was something I had to do in order to complete my life. I'm now one step closer to nirvana.
