Puckered St*fish celebrate our good chum The Entire Top Shelf's day of birth
with this debut release ton Rapacious (H)Owl on a CD-R made in his honour. 
Each CD-R has it's own personalised title (Mmmn, could be confusing) and
unique individual packaging (see above) for as long as we can be bothered. 
Be sure you don't get muddled and buy two now, yer hear!

PUCKERED ST*RFISH  "PERSONALISED SLEEVE AND TITLE"
CDR
 
That's right for the time being every gosh darned copy of this item is supplied at our descretion in a
different sleeve or packaging and christened with its own unique one off name until we get bored,
or exhaust our supply of materials.  You may get a shoe box, you may get a cereal packet, you may
get an envelope, you may get a "re-conditioned" 12" sleeve. See e.g.s to the immediate right.
 
Heck, one lady got a copy in a busted CD player!  She thought it was re-cycled art at it's most base.
 
"But wot's it like?" I hear you ask. 
 
It's like a big basket of random ingredients some are nice some are sickly, and some mixed together
will make the tummy in your ears poorly.
 
Dub collisons, noise freak-outs, blat, skronk free-range improv marinate in an anglo-continental
ballastic omellette of butchered sound fart.
 
My sleeve says the personnel is Nil, Ms. Uterus, The NiteKunt and Infertility Douglas and yet the
insert states that this racket was made by Kurstee, Kathryn, Nil and Thur Nitekunt.  Confusing huh?

Apologies for the short notice but THE FUNTLEY FESTIVAL OF
NOISE, takes place at HEDON FARM, FUNTLEY  this Saturday
(05.08.2006).  PUCKERED ST*RFISH will be making their live
debut.  Please also note that despite appearing on the poster
Zimpoon act NAZERINE SAC will not be performing.  According
to the band at no point have they been contacted or invited to
appear.
 
Funtley is located off the M27 Motorway between Fareham and
the scum pit that is Southampton.  The organisers say that the
event will be well sign-posted.
 
See y'all there! (Except for Nazerine Sac).

PUCKERED STARFISH have laid another little egg of noise.
 
RAP - 002  PUCKERED ST*FISH    "PS:2" or maybe "Puckered
St*fish Two" or even "Two St*fish"
CDR
Goodness to Betsy these folk sure are prolific.
 
Just as you let the PS debut warm the cockles of your fart along comes this a mere month or so
later.  The confusion continues as the newly slimmed down to a duo haven't really given us the
most accurate of album titles.  In fact the svelt pair haven't given any album title at all!  So we kinda
guessed.
 
This baby hoots from the hip, lost in vituperative shudders of fuzz ecstasy.  Yes, hoots! Slack string
oscillations vie with vacuous duets of invisible fiends who respond with x-rated duck calls in alien
tongues.  Premature spunkyard ejaculations of  electric mewling piano mingle within the comforting
arms of a cartoon skinned banjo. Occasionally.   A work of hideous beauty indeed.
 
Laid by Ms. Uterus and Nil.  Who knows if Thur Nitekunt and Infertility Douglas will return? Does
anybody care?

Hot from the burners not one but two CDRs for your listening displeasure...
 
1) The previously mentioned SHIIT SWILL (approximate spelling!) "This Chef Is Loaded" featuring
the irrepressible legend that is Hunt Creeto and the Zimpoon labels bewildered Mighty Springboks
wunderkind as the 13th line-up of his bilgecore partisans.
 
RAP - 003    Hunt Creeto presents...SHIIT SWILL...MK. 13 "THIS CHEF IS LOADED" CDR
 
What's with the "Upstairs Downstairs" theme, that's two R.O. releases now?
 
This is a truly filthy disgusting sounding CDR. No, it really is.  American sized yeti Hunt Creeto gave
his band the bigfoot on the Isle of Wight ferry of all places and enlisted legendary Filth-o-Bop (TM)
icons THE MIGHTY SPRINGBOKS as his (temporary?) new backing band.  Possibly the 13th lucky
line-up? Recorded live with little in the way of overdubs in one fraught evening session.  This disc
captures the tension, the ire and anger of that humid September 15th 2006 evening on one shiny lil'
compact disc.
 
Don't take our word for it, here's Hunt himself...
 
"Dear Rapacious Owl
 
I am writing to confirm that I have been recording some stuff for you guys last night round at Binky's.
I am proud to say they represent some of my most feral works to date and I am also honoured to
have him and Sgt. Bop of the Mighty Springboks on board for this project.
 
Best wishes
 
Hunt Creeto"
 
Overdriven electronica, childrens over amped drumkit, stupid pointless vocals (where audible), filing
cabinets full of volume-matic danger, frenetic spastic-lite guitar wannk these are a few of our
favourite things.
 
Mr. Creeto is currently in Europe on vacation and shouting at French folk, will we ever hear/see his
like again?

2) New from the unclassifiable nutcases over in ZIMPOON-ville in association with STIFLED
FARTcomes  the eagerly awaited DRUNK & INCONTINENT anthology "Moistened Not Stirred (A
Retarded Retrospective 2005 - 2006) CDR (ZIMP - 030).  Which as the title suggests is a compilation
featuring everything (bar one) that the dearly departed band recorded between Spring '05 and
Spring '06 and eight new pieces featuring the deft keyboard skills of TAMSIN TITS of Birmingham's WELL FINGERED QUEER.  Also DAVID BOWELY on sax.
 
Fantastic 33 track track overview representing the near complete output covering one debauched
and ringed out nappy of a year. 
 
Both classic Zimpoon CDRS - Scraping The Barrel of The Bottom (Everthing You Never Wanted &
Less) and Bach Overkill are here.  Plus an additional eight new tracks featuring an engorged line-up
featuring TAMSIN TITS (WELL FINGERED QUEER, PUCKERED ST*RFISH) on keyboard and DAVID
BOWELY on sax for track 26.
 
D & I stagger purposefully into your stereo, kick it  hard in the nadgers, steal its beer and proceed to
play good ole fashioned brawlin' music before going to the toilet frequently over the lovely furniture.
 
The "Bach Overkill" CDR sleeve likened the D & I sound to "The criminally underated neglect of a
thousand nuclear guitar sunshines."
 
And...
 
"Scratchy excema guitar abuse, vocals that make paint shriek, a scatter balm of innocent piano and
electronic made drum blat."
 
And who is sober enough to want to argue with that?

September 29 2006
It is our sad duty to inform you that Dunkan The Clot has passed away from cancer.
 
The Clot as he was fondly known was the vocalist with The Original Railings and erstwhile
demented Scottish founder of the impossibly funny if not seriously sick Wessex Dust Trust. A
theatre and puppet company of the most bizarre and sometimes hideous proportions.  Many times
children's favourite Sooty was decapitated, dismembered often to be met with a bewildered choir of
frightened childrens screams and outbursts of rage from not amused parents.  And that was on the
good days.
 
A talented artist both in the medium of painting and pyss, The Clot could be witnessed at many a
dive such as "Olivers" bar in Gosport painting a backdrop as some turgid band performed live in
front of him.  His completed efforts nearly always outshone the musical outpourings on display on
many an evening.
 
A former navy man and active peace protester, Duncan would occasionally pop up on the local TV
news his bizarre facial topiary always a target for some unwary news hack who wanted a cliched
looking crusty to appear ignorant for the cameras talking about anti-war matters.  Invariably it was
Duncan who put them in their place with his unexpected articulate answers and intelligent
viewpoints.
 
As an active member of The Original Railings The Clot participated on at least four cassettes set free
by The FGAC label between the late 1980's to mid-1990's.  The Clot lent a warm Scottish lilt to the
vocals interupted only by sudden shrieks of maniacal brilliance and occasional bursts of guitar
thwacking and synth fumbles.  A deft hand at sponteniety he had the unique ability to deliver the
right emotion with the right level of levity at the crucial moment.
 
Steve Albeano, engineer of the "And Leave It's Beak On The Lawn" tape writes:
 
It was always a fun experience working with The Clot.  Sometimes a little bit too alcohollically or
pharmaceutically challenging.  But Duncan was one of those rare individuals who from a creative
standpoint actually prospered from this.  A consumate professional and always polite.  Keen to try
out new ideas and supplement them with his own nutty input.  Most of the time this greatly enhanced
the material much to the benefit of the finished product.  He was a one off and had funny hair.
 
Mr. The Clot can be witnessed on the recently released "Dog Chutney/Honey Maggots" DVD and we
dedicate this package to his warped and loving memory.
 
A funeral service is scheduled to be held at The John Pounds Church, Old Portsmouth on October
5th 2006 at 2pm.
 
Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
 
R.I.P. Clot keep hatin' the stoaties wherever you are!

Third Mind Electrical Circuitry Studios is being renovated as I hype the type. It is but a vaccuous
shell. We have decided to host an acoustic themed Filth-O-Bop festival this forthcoming Sunday
(15th October 2006) here. As we have only just decided to do this within the last 30 seconds or so,
we cannot give you an itinery of who will be appearing and doing what ever it is that they do. It may
not happen, but The Mighty Springboks have expressed an interest in performing one of their
incredibly rare acoustic shows. Keep 'em peeled for more details...
 
PUCKERED ST*FISH live outings
 
PS:1 (MS. UTERUS from Puckered St*fish + Unknown French chums as her impromptu band from
what we gather from her email.) play a brace of French dates over the next couple of weeks or so.
 
OCTOBER 18TH: BOURGES
22ND: ST. ETIENNE
 
Hopefully dates, times of show and venues will be forwarded to us sharpish.
 
October 13 2006
 
Oh crikey, SGT. BOP of THE MIGHTY SPRINGBOKS has texted to say he's possibly broken his foot
and won't be coming out to play on Sunday. More details of which foot is broken and which foot
will be broken for contract defilement will be posted later.
 
It really is about time The Mighty Springboks documentary saw the light of day, it was originally
supposed to have been made and released in 2004 in time for the groups 21st anniversary so
maybe, just maybe we'll have it shot and editited in time for the bands 23rd anniversary next year.
 
However, the current whereabouts of MR. BRETT YOUNG aka Paul Williams the first human
drummer of the band  are unknown.  Can you help dear reader in locating him?  We harbour
inaccurate information that he may be residing in the Bath/Bristol area of the UK.  So far our giant
robot tracker killer Joe Pasquale's have yielded nothing in their tireless searches.
 
Sightings, info to the usual email address...
BRETT YOUNG.
 
ROCK 'N' ROLL DRUM GOD. (NOT)
 
DO YOU KNOW HIS WHEREABOUTS?
 
...HIS MUMMY SAYS HIS TEA IS READY.
 
email us now!
Furtive lookin' fecker ain't he?

Due to broken trains with broken toilets leading to broken bladders and broken tempers tonight's
proposed Acoustic Filth-O-Bop has been WELL AND TRULY CANCELLED but only for the time
being.  Well, you know us - never let a good idea die or a bad one, come to think of it.
 
October 17 2006
SGT. BOP of top flight Filth-O-Bopsters THE MIGHTY SPRINGBOKS has this text message to
divulge.
 
"I am cured."
 
Does this means it wasn't a broken foot after all or that he's been hung upside down and smoked
like a vintage ham?
 
Question: What do you get if you unleash complete computer luddites loose on a PC music editing
suite?
 
Answer: KITTY GLITTER. We've heard a track in progress by these gonzoid bozo's and may put the
finished songs out if it reaches our lowly expectations.
 
"It's Glitch-a-delia Jim, but not as we know it."
 
November 24th 2006
 
Finally after months of living in an internal wilderness avoiding the droppings of cowboy builders
and their contractor dictators the "avantgarde works of art" masquerading as renovations are now
complete. (Oh yeah?) The building is still standing on it's own accord - the scaffolding a mere prop.
 
But let's hope boys and girls that normality will now be the prevailing order of the day.
 
Our last word on the matter: Good luck Z. and best wishes for when you sign on!
 
No idea if the planned acoustic Filth-o-bop shindig originally scheduled for mid-October will be
re-scheduled or even take place at all now. Besides electrical instrumenets rule and acoustic guitars
are for sissys and folk with strength disorders.
 
December 18th 2006
 
Oh how we laughed, the mighty laugh of pathos, the vibrations as we split our sides with mirth
ruminating the very foundations of the building I type from.
 
I still find it hard to fathom just how jolly naive we all were being taken in by the builders and their
so-called completion date of November 24th. Since then small hunting parties have turned up and
moved things around and continued with their soiling antics. Apparently they are now done but just
look at the state of the mastik work in the bathroom and kitchen, go on look at it and tell us it wasn't
the work of a demented three year old let loose with a mastik rifle.
 
..."and he painted mastik men and mastik mats and bogs" indeed!
 
So sadly there will be no traditional seasonal sonic offering this year. Well, there will be but it will
arrive later than usual, just be patient remember storks have ears.
 
Speaking of KITTY GLITTER the new sessions are preceeding at quite a delayed pace and sound
mighty structured but still at oddly-odds with most stuff you've grown to love and shave from the
Rapacious Owl nest.
 
Also our new DVD is under way at last. Yep, after months of interruptions and diversions work has
finally commenced on "Sounds Intriguing". Still a heck of a way to go, much filming to be done,
instruments to pulp, people to kill etc, etc.
 
We're thinking of doing a Filth-O-Bop show over Xmas at chez Binky's (natch, where else) if you are
nutty enough to want to take part please let us know what you do, how you do it and who you do it
with, send your details to us at the email link above.
 
We note with keen interest that The Old Vic. aka Holy Trinity Vicarage, scene for many years of
squillions of Gridling and Filth-O-Bop attrocities is up for grabs. It's yours for a piffling £800 000.
Also got a copy of the Trinity Green Times shoved wantonly through my new letterbox, apparently
some religious geezers callled "The Church" are trying to raise £100k to restore Handel's organ
contained as it is within the cavernous confines of Holy Trinity Church. Older readers may recall that
some of "Seaside Favourites" on the FGAC tape unleashed by DR. SMEDLEY'S MECHANICAL
SOUTHEND features this huge and prestigious organ naked and in the flesh. Perhaps if they save it
they'll let us have a play on it and preach the good sermon of punk rock to the heathen few that still
do "kirche" on a Sunday.

Belated best wishes for a great new year and all that tat.
 
KITTY GLITTER news. The band are no longer called Kitty Glitter. We shot a funny short film mainly
starring BINKY in all his tiger suit shananigans (plus a stunt double to do the dangerous bits!) and
uploaded the short via the Mr Youtube facility. 'Twas then we discovered that there is an erotic
dance review in Las Vegas called, yup, you've guessed it - Kitty Glitter.
 
So Kitty Glitter are now THE ODEEGATRONZ. Look for the name The Odeegatronz when you visit
Youtube and let your porky-pies behold the lo-fi animated japes of The Odeegatronz and their soon
to be mammoth hit recording of "Lee (On-The-Solent) Tiger" . Here is the link that will lead you to
video fullfillment...
Also uploaded the COSTA DEL BLOWFLY "Daddy
Don't Buy A Gun For Christmas" Karaoke short
from "Dog Chutney/Honey Maggots" double DVD,
so you can show your friends and wretch together
online. Here'sthe link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G8ehBOXnPw.
There is a Scouse band with the same name but
that's Scousers for ya, steal anything not nailed
down. Damn I'm reverting to cliched stereotypes
again. I apologise. Most prefusely.

We have posted the following edits and highlights up on the wunnerfull Youtube service...
 
 
THE ORIGINAL RAILINGS "DEAD RHINOS DON'T PAY POLL TAX (AXE THE TAX)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-3S3a_j8v4
THE MIGHTY SPRINGBOKS "CHEETOS & CUSTARD KARAOKE"

DRUNK & INCONTINENT "SPECTACULAR FESTIVAL OF THE MIGHTY SEA"
 
Just time to mention that the slightly altered DVD
of the award winning "MARITIME ET MERDE" is
now available, haven't done much to it actually,
just made a nice menu screen, so the original
gormless gory editing techniques gleaned from
dated analogue editing suites remain for your
fecund enjoyment.
 
29th January 2007
DR. BANANA QUADBIKE played some truly revolting sax on the forthcoming STEAK WRIST
project which somehow is being scooped together by THE ENTIRE TOP SHELF for his SHINING
FOOD MUSIC ANDTHE SPOKEN WORD imprint. The Quadbikester was dragged coughing and a
puking last week from his flu soaked terminal stomach lining sprayed death bed to contribute
some truly gnarled vocals. The world waits with baited deaf for the results.
 
8th February 2007
 
At last the eagerly anticipated THE ODEEGATRONZ "FAKE MEKKANO TOILET - THE ALBUM"
CDR is ready for your ears esteemed approval.
 
RAP - 004    THE ODEEGATRONZ     "FAKE MEKKANO TOILET - THE ALBUM"    CDR
 
Recorded under extremely stressfull conditions on site during renovations to their "luxury" caged
environment  Autumn/Winter 2006, this project marks the first time these fat behemoths of
technological ignorance have ever used a computer to record their music. 
 
They got real lucky with the results. (Don't click on the underlined "real lucky" phrase.  It won't
take you anywhere it's just for dramatic impact).
 
A glitched-up brew ha-ha of pilfered royalty free samples from cover mounted muso tech maggies
vie with splurch draang and frizzled guitar blat.  Some of these "axes" are for real others are mere
toys and some figments of a digital imagination.  Think hardcore Finnish reggae, defrocked Ealing
Comedy marching bands, the finest country acid house diluted with gunk punk napalm rock trifle. 
 
Does that make sense? No? Then get this and draw your own conclusions you great individual
you.

Johnny Griffin, who is trying to get in the record books with his attempt to tap-dance around the
globe (west - east) has briefly foresaken his valiant quest to drop off a copy of the completed and
totallly unwholesome STEAK WRIST "DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRY S**T?" CDR and seek urgent
medical attention to his bloodied stumps. To him we endow a multitude of thanks. We would have
donated to his charitable cause but he neglected to send the forms off before he left to trip-up over
the light fantastic.

Fentlesham, WE WILL ROCK YOU!
 
MARCH 17 2007
The allotted day of rock is upon thee oh little town of Fentlesham!
 
March 18 2007
Yesterday was a complete and utter balls-up and although the mini-tornado wasn't our fault we
apologise most prefusely to any of you who braved the inclement elements to travel to the
abandoned Fentlesham Rocks Festival.
 
Rain literally did stop play as the aforementioned mini-tornado ripped up the festival site and
damaged the historic bandstand, built circa 1975.  Hog roast detritus lay scattered across the roof
of the badminton centre, who bravely salvaged the day by letting the remnants of the festival take
place upon their hallowed courts.
 
Sadly it was too late in the day for STEAK WRIST and THE ODEEGATRONZ to perform and due to
the sheer amount of acts scheduled to play ELK PSYCHIATRIST only managed a truncated set, but
the good burghers of Fentlesham (no, not the ones srayed across the roof!) have pledged to get
S.W. and T.O. back at a later date.
However all was not lost as Steak Wrist performed an
interesting yet informative short set at The Gitar (sic.)
Workshop amidst the storm damage after availing
themselves at the Face Painting stall.  A great time was
had by all. 
MARCH 26 2007
Just time to tell you that THE ODEEGATRONZ have changed their name to TYPICAL SUITCASE.
There are several reasons for this none make any sense but then again when has that been a plus
factor with all things Odeegatronik?  One excuse given was that many of you folk out there in
cyberweb land had trouble locating the Odeegatronz Myspace realm because you couldn't spell
O.D.E.E.G.A.T.R.O.N.Z., so out of neccessity TYPICAL SUITCASE was born.  The old site is still
there over at myspace. And a new Typical Suitcase site full of the usual hokum can be located at www.myspace.com/typicalsuitcase.

contributions.

APRIL 15 2006
Things have been mighty quiet this month so far what with illness, near death experiences and
stuff, but rest assured the momemtum is apace as TYPICAL SUITCASE (formerly THE
ODEEGATRONZ), new girls and boys MOUNTANUS (pronounced "mountainous") continue
workontheir forthcoming rock and roll opus'.
 
In the meantime to keep your young fertile minds occupied we present the first in an occasional
series of Rap (H)Owl and related pieces that you,  dear friends have sent in from time to time.
 
There now follows a short anthology of The Odeegatronz live debut in Brighton from February of
this year. Thanks to everyone who contributed...
 
THE ODEEGATRONZ
SUKI'S SKOOL NITE FLAT WARMING BASH, BRIGHTON
22/02/2007
 
The live band was due around 9-ish, but due to severely cramped space restrictions, we the
packed several are beholden to the vision of a plumpish guy in a punctured wheelchair, a
borrowed laptop and some guitars in various states of rude health.  The plumpish guy clad in
fetching red choirboy cape, horse face mask explains that his two colleagues are absent - struck
down with flu or the urgent necessity to vacation with their parents!  Rock 'n' roll!
 
We are treated to a short  smart set drawn from the excellent "Fake Mekkano Toilet" CDR. The
plumpish guy padding out the laptop beats and samples with scattergun bursts of stylised
un-guitar scrapes with uncannily scary vocals to match.  One minute operatic the next
sub-Beefheart bass growl and any octave inbetween.
 
The laptop gets drunk and finally ceases into a hiccuping hoary fit of seized beats and sampled
belches.  Plumpish guy undetered launches into whinger/songwriter mode and plays an
impressive selection of tracks drawn from the mighty Zimpoon/FGAC back catalogue.  A good time
was had by all.
 
Apparently Part Chimp are in town tonight and after their show a swarm of imbibed Bacchanites
besiege Suki's rapidly shrinking abode demanding more entertainment.  But it is a school night
and some of us have to get up early.  This happy band of straggling revellers demand an encore
for their free entry. Plumpish guy obliged, plugged in and bade us into the humid damp night with
tunes of locust men, puckered starfish and other alien deities ringing in our minds.
 
A full band return is promised at an unspecified proper rock 'n' roll venue soon.
 
I for one can't wait.
 
STEPHEN MORB,  A RESIDENT OF BRIGHTON 23/02/07 via email
 
Thank you Odeegatronz for making party success.  i stil clean up crums from last night.  Crums
very messee and get everywhere especially in carpet and close.
 
About 40 invited guests come then 5 or maybe 6 more try to push way in later, these are bad guys
and drink 2 much lager shandi.
 
Only Roq Enrol cood make party beecause Shelf man ill with sicness and Mr. Chocolate Hand who
is nearly40 is on hollyday with his mummy in Wales.  Josh lent Odeegatronz his laptop so they can
put backing trax and squgglee noise out of mi stereo and play on along on top.  Joshs laptop have
very little memory and canot proces properly.  So laptop brake down after short time.  But not
worried in slitest as Roq Enrol pla and entertane with witty joeks and guitar.
 
It was groovy.  I look forward to them plaing proper show soon.
 
Get Fake Mekkano Toilet - The Album now!
 
SUKI FUKIYAMA, BRIGHTON via email 23/02/07
 
But did you film or record the event?  Any pix please forward them to the usual email.
 
DearSir/Madam,
 
I feel I must write in protest to complain about the professional ability of the group Odeegatronz
whom I believe you represent in some heinous capacity.
 
I had the great misfortune to be invited to a college colleague's flat warming party and had the
great misfortune to witness the above group perform.  I say group as I believe to the best of my
knowledge the rest of the band could not make it.  This shows either a certain disregard to
professional commitment or a certain panache of common sense.
 
I'm not sure if I get what was going on here.  A malfunctioning laptop pooping multi-genre rythms
entwined with layers of  un-classifiable nonsense music.  Was it supposed to sound like that? 
Then there's the fat guy.  What's with the choirboy cloak and mask, is he embarrassed?  Are the
guitars supposed to be played like that or does the various degree of damage dictate they are
mauled like that?  And that shrill burp emitting from his throat, call that singing?  And the low
sloping roof which much to the consternation of the performing beast kept colliding with its head,
was this unnecessary slapstick part of the act?
 
I admittedly am unfamiliar with this kind of underground indie music, but it dawned upon me that if
this is the future of alternative rock then I'm glad it's kept in such small obscure confines.  I don't
like it and I can see no future in this insulting perception of what certain critics would toss about as
"performance art".
 
Later I hear the CDR and am stunned that it is indeed supposed to sound like that!  I remain
unconvinced and I stand by my convictions.  My flatmate who is well into this kind of thing says it
is a classic and sits well with the cannon of Captain Beefheart, The Boredoms, Sonic Youth, Bonzo
Dog Band as well as countless other obscure groups I have never heard of.  I doubt if it will stand
the test of time unlike true commercial mavericks like Keane and Radiohead.
 
OWEN TRAVERS, BRIGHTON via email 23/02/07
 
Thanks for honest and forthright comments Owen.  You have won our letter of the week award.  An
Odeegatronz fun pack is winging its way to you!

Not one but two corking new CDR items for your dubious delectation.
 
RAP - 005 THE ODEEGATRONZ    "NOW CALLED TYPICAL SUITCASE"

Entire Top Shelf then.
 
Mayhem ensues as disgusting free samply mag  loop jig rythyms fuk with tantric guitar noise
diffusion and vocal denouncements.  Throat beat non-alignment filth jive and hyper-active scat
punkfux splurge.
You get this on that. (Imagine a decadent arrow pointing to
the sleeve on the left).

Four-track recorded shananigans by complete musical novices, incompetents and greehorn
no-hopers! The groups words not ours!
 
That group is Marisa Phelps, Cyril Disorder and Stafford Titty and they are MOUNTANUS.
Pronounced "Mountainous" but spelt M.O.U.N.T.A.N.U.S. Mountanus, got that? Good now we're
getting somewhere.
 
This is possibly the worst ever excuse for a noise album we have ever heard, and we mean it
maaaan.  Guitar buggery, pedal devilement, whispered embarrassed shrieks, keyboard grind
wrapped in a meaninglesss burito of sound filth.
 
...And yet there is something quaint and fluffy about this Austrian/Anglo trio's dirty dirging. 
 
The sleeve art was done by an anonymous person and was found on the floor at a gig in London.
(The art not the anonymous artist, although there were so many lanky haired drunk studenty types
around, who knows?!?!)

Tragic news just in.
 
HUNT CREETO bigoted lout mouth and self-proclaimed noise sloth guru behind the many
incarnations of SHIIT SWILL (not correct spelling - not sure our faceless cyber-spider electronic web
hosts allow naughty words) has perished in a car crash whilst on tour in Italy.
 
Creeto recorded a CDR for us in 2006 "This Chef Is Loaded" with THE MIGHTY SPRINGBOKS acting
as Shiit Swill Mk.13. This prooved to be a very tempestous but rewarding recording experience if not
commercially but artistically for all involved.
 
Exact details of the accident are sketchy at best but we extend our condolences and sympathies to
his family, band members and friends (if he had any!).
 
At the time of writing there doesn't appear to be an official website or email address to mail your
sympathies, condolences, etc, so if you feel the urge to write please by all means contact us via the
usual email address and we shall endeavour to pass your comments on to the relevant parties.
 
MAY 27 2007
One of the most common questions we get asked here at the Rapacious (H)Owl nest is:
 
Do you guys have any connections with the legendary Gosport cassette imprint the FGAC, and if so
do you have any plans to re-issue tapes by "insert band name here"?
 
Well the answer to both questions would be "Yes".
 
Currently we are liasing with BLADDER EYE. Older listeners may recall the 82 track cassette
"Legends of the Ashtray Boy" the duo spunked in 1995.  So popular was it that FACE DOWN IN A
POOL OF PYSS (not accurate spelling) of San Francisco issued a lovely miniturised bastardised 7"
33rpm 20 minute abridged version of the tape on urine splatter coloured vinyl. That sold out of its
initial 500 pressing pretty damn fast and the album has remained out of print since 1996.
 
Plans are a foot to re-issue this monumentally popular tape soon on Rap (H)Owl as a CDR.
 
MAY 28 2007
Rap (H)Owl is pleased to announce that last night  we re-united ROOT NIXON and GREGSON THE
PANTHER aka Bladder Eye/Eye Bladder.  They in turn  recorded 11 new tracks that showcase the
new "mature" sound of B.E.  Yes, it's got a synth and some drum pulses on it. 
 
This new album the boys have christened "Battle of the Internet Milkmen".  And if that ain't enough to
sate yer lust sir, dang me if the lads ain't added the original "Legends of the Ashtray Boy" album to
the CDR as well.  Not only that the album features five pieces from the legendary Eye Bladder
sessions, three of which have never seen the light of day before.- making a whopping 98 track
anthology! 
 
June 18 2007
The eagerly antcipated BLADDER EYE "Legends of the Ashtray Boy + Battle of the Internet Milkmen"
CDR is finally upon us!
 
After a couple of weeks spent frantically wrestling  the original troubled DAT tapes the struggle is
now over and we emerge tattered and torn blinking into the harsh unforgiving funlight and press
upon your feebled hands the finished CDR.
 
It comes packaged in a replica poster type sleeve of the original cassette artwork.  Scary!
 
Here's what the FGAC originally said about "...Ashtray Boy" back in 1995.
 
Bladder Eye (for it is they) skewer shards of angled sound confusion entwined with the whelps of feral
children.  They utilized a 4-track cassette machine - no more are ever needed.  Gregson The Panther
mangles his electric device that is strung with five strings - six would be deemed as excessive. The
Nixon boy contorts his very throat as if it was a tightly knit pullover (sweater) on a rogue barracuda.
The songs are stark and brutal on the pallette...Not unlike economy beef burgers - but the flesh of
these beef patties is 100% pure sound.  And yet their laced up speakers weep blood in seven ugly
shades of disturbed protracted electrical noise.  Bladder Eye mock, Bladder Eye loll, Bladder Eye
embrace the headless young in the violent drummerless confines of the Palace of Befuddlement. 
Their menu of malcontentment is to doodle with sound noodles whilst duelling with ground poodles. 
They are the living embodiment of pretension...The Mexican non-wave that doesn't do macrame. 
Huge faced ants with blackened eyes and guitar coupling mandibles, that were evolved from a long
forgotten sugar dynasty.  They are affected bold little kittens...The cats that got the scream.  So sit
them on your lap, lick their little faces and stroke the flea bitten pelts of...Bladder Eye.

Watched the film "THE SWARM" again this afternoon.  This film is soo bad it's cool.  We have in
our absolute lack of wisdom decided to put out a tribute album to this epically crass celluloid
masterpiece.  Acts from the Zimpoon, Rap (H)Owl and FGAC rosters have sworn to contribute.
 
More details as they happen.  The buzz about this project states "It's gonna bee stupid!"
 
Just to wet your appetite here's a graph of a bee we cadged off the internet.
June 28 2007
Happy 40th GREGSON THE PANTHER, YOU OLD BUGGER YOU!
 
A mystery.  We've had several emails asking what has happened to the MOUNTANUS webpage over on Myspace.  We just simply don't know.  The group tell us they can access it themselves and
tinker with it, but apparently it's disappeared from the Myspace search engine and those of you
who have added them as your friends say the Mountanus link has vanished!  Maybe the Myspace
folk are a bit picky about the word "anus".  Who knows.
 
You can still reach the band via their email address which is:
