All For Me Grog
|
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (Sea Shanty Edition) | Ubisoft Music | 2013 | Ok, so this is better than the Irish Rovers version. Also, I identify heavily with working a hard job just to get some alcohol down me gullet and a party with my maties.... | 0:00:00 (Pop-up) | ||

| The Frogs |
Sailors Board Me Now
|
Bananimals | Self Released | 2009 | I was kind of obsessed by this song when it came out. Oh, ribald seafaring man love! The Frogs were an American rock music band founded in 1980, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by brothers Jimmy and Dennis Flemion. The brothers mainly wrote and performed short, catchy pop songs, but they are also known for their improvised home recordings which are delivered in a comedic style, and often include controversial issues such as race, religion, and sexuality (notably homoeroticism). A history of strife has hindered the band, although a devoted fan base that includes many well-known musicians has supported the group. | 0:05:01 (Pop-up) | ||
| The Great Scots |
That Wasn't No Girl
|
The Great Scots Arrive! | Sundazed | 1998 | Formed as The Shadows in 1963, they then gave themselves mohawks and changed their name to "Beavers of Halifax" and were hailed as Canada's Beatles. They they decided to all wear kilts and vests and rechristen themselves "The Great Scots". One of Nova Scotia's finest garage rock bands of the 60's. They appeared on Shindig! | 0:08:20 (Pop-up) | ||

| The Stolen Minks |
Reflexes
|
High Kicks | Self Released | 2008 | The Stolen Minks are a three-piece Canadian garage punk band who have been praised as "Halifax's answer to The Gossip and The Detroit Cobras". They have shared stages with prominent bands of their genre, including the Black Lips, Wanda Jackson, King Khan & BBQ, Brutal Knights, The Death Set, Statues and An Albatross. The Stolen Minks have been showcased at a range of festivals including Halifax Pop Explosion, Pop Montreal, Sappyfest and Ladyfest Ottawa.[1] The band has toured Canada extensively and in recent years covered large portions of the United States. | 0:12:45 (Pop-up) | ||

G Turns to D

| Like a Motorcycle |
122 Hours of Fear
|
122 Hours of Fear Single | turtlemusik | 2021 | Like A Motorcycle is a melee attack with a soundtrack. They deliver poignant earworms for their fellow disenfranchised rejects; working minimum wage jobs while dodging five-figure debt. This is a pretty good cover of an excellent song by the LA punk band Screamers | * | 0:18:30 (Pop-up) | |

Vaca Ratay
|
Puro Tayta Shanti | Little Axe Records | 60's? / 2019 | Little Axe Records is both a record label and storefront in Portland, Oregon. The label was started by Warren Hill in 2011 after parting ways with Mississippi Records... Little Axe Records primarily focuses on reissuing small pressings of international music, putting out records by artists that never had a release outside of their native countries, were self-released, or whose music was initially intended to be shared only with friends. “...I like to focus more on stuff that people aren’t clamoring for because maybe they are not familiar with it.” This song is described by the label as “Andean party music,” Puro Tayta Shanti is a compilation of a type of Peruvian folk music called santiagos, which center around the “fiesta de Santiago,” an ancestral celebration honoring nature and cattle. With that in mind, the record opens with “Vaca Ratay,” a mind-bending listen where feminine voices mix with the loud mooing of a cow. “[It’s] a simple and powerful song that is almost a blueprint for other santiagos of the region,” says Peruvian-American DJ and musician Rick Omonte, who put the compilation together with Hill. | 0:29:22 (Pop-up) | ||
| The Bug, Jason Williamson, Sleaford Mods |
Stoat
|
Treetop | Ninja Tune | 2021 | Jason Williamson:______ "Both Stoat and Treetop tread the usual path lyrically for me, nonsense mixed in with little micro story’s of whatever. Excuses to get out frustrations and anger. I’ve been talking with Kevin for a few years now as regards doing some tunes. Matching something to The Bugs music was always on the cards, a chance to shape different vocal approaches to a certain degree which is deffo evident on Stoat I think. Love both tunes. Proper. Bang into this collab.” The Bug:_________ "Reared on Mark E Smith and Crass, how could i not be blown away by Sleaford Mods? Since first hearing 'Austerity Dogs', I was smitten by Jason's razor sharp lyricism and punk as f-ck delivery. So when we first chatted on Twitter a few years ago, casually raving about a mutual love of anti-social American hip hop, we pretty much immediately discussed the idea of a collab. And tho' it took a few years to actually realise the concept, 2021 seems like the purrrfect time in terms of global social meltdown and the release of my album 'Fire'. It’s been a joy to work with Jason on these tracks and we are already discussing the idea of more to follow…” | * | 0:31:43 (Pop-up) | |
| Felini |
Zum Zum Zum Zazoeira
|
The Sexual Life Of The Savages: Underground Post-Punk From São Paulo, Brasil | Soul Jazz | 1987 / 2005 | "Fellini was one the most notorious São Paulo underground acts from the mid-80's. They recorded some of the most notable lo-fi albums of the period. Fellini was made up of journalist Cadão Volpato on vocals and multi-instrumentalist and journalist Thomas Pappon (also from Smack and formerly of Voluntários da Pátria) plus Ricardo Salvagni and Jayr Marcos. They fused European post punk influences with electro bossa, drum machine patterns and synths." | 0:35:22 (Pop-up) | ||

A Fierce Pancake | Ensign Records / Chrysalis Records | 1988 | "Their only album, A Fierce Pancake, (named after a term meaning 'deep conundrum' in The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien) released in 1988 was recorded in Berlin and London produced by Holger Hiller with assistance from Stephen Street and was mixed by Hugh Jones after an unsuccessful session with US producer John Robie. The recording process was, however, often fraught with arguments amongst the band as to the sound and direction of the album." | 0:44:59 (Pop-up) | ||

Modern Music: Habibi Funk 6 | Habibi Funk Records | 2017 | Al Massrieen (المصريين) is an Egyptian pop music group, active during the 1970s and 1980s . His work, mainly dispersed on cassettes, was compiled by the German label Jakarta Records / Habibi Funk in the album Modern Music ( 2017 ).

| Alex Cameron |
Sara Jo
|
Sara Jo Single | Secretly Canadian | 2021 | I like playing songs that make Derek laugh. These are excellent lyrics. Considering my trip involved antivaxxers, the chorus resonated with me. Alex Cameron is an Australian musician, singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Sydney, he is best known for his solo career, a high-concept act in which Cameron initially adopted the persona of a failed entertainer. He has written songs for the Killers, which is odd because this song is good but most of theirs are terrible. | * | 1:10:09 (Pop-up) | |
| Shalabi Effect |
Boardwalk at Apollo Beach
|
Shalabi Effect | Alien8 Recordings | 2000 | "Shalabi Effect is free improvisation. This does not mean atonal noise, although atonality and beautiful noises are ever present; it also doesn’t mean that there is no melody, but the melodies are rarely if ever known ahead of time. The base sound comes from a combination of Middle Eastern modes, played by Sam Shalabi on the Oud, and the cinematic psychedelic style of Anthony Seck." | 1:13:14 (Pop-up) | ||

| Whitey |
Animal Kingdom
|
The Times They Are Deranging | No! Label | 2021 | TFEB favourite Whitey is back with a new release! Terminally grumpy and pissed at "the man" (and rightfully so!), the artist whose real name is Nathan Joseph Wonnacott continues to delight. | * | 1:45:39 (Pop-up) | |

| Ausmuteants |
Echo Beach
|
Mates Rates / Echo Beach 7" | Hozac Records | 2015 | Possibly exceeds the excellence of the original by Martha and the Muffins. Our theme song, and Ausmuteants truly do it major justice. | 1:54:51 (Pop-up) | ||
