John calls this "Japanese rock n' roll" ,and he may have something here.Loud distorto guitar ,and incoherent yelling over the top of it ,and enigmatic song titles that all start with "OK", like ,
Spaceship Andy (Washington) ,and John Kaagootaabaa (North Carolina) in the second episode of their Late Night with the Fuck Twins podcast! Check it out, Andy and John discuss topics such as Oprah's buttocks, and their special guest, the next President, performs his favorite Talking Heads songs. Enjoy.
7 songs in just over a minute ,from the North Carolina noise master ,this time with some acoustic grindcore! Just dumb acoustic growling ,with John at the wheel!Another addition to his growing collection of work! Short but sweet , and certainly worth repeated listenings! Hell ,listen to it on a loop ,the songs fly by so fast ,you won't barely notice that you've heard them the first couple of times around. Give John praise!
John Kaagootaabaa sings on these couple of tracks ,that are both just over 2 minutes each. His reborn again christian pal ,Johnny ,plays guitar. The first number is a psych/blues workout ,while the second track starts out sounding almost oriental in nature ,and instrumentally like a keyboard ,but soon evolves into a blues rocker. Vocals are distorto-flanged on both ditties. This is a neat diversion ,on the way to the next full-length Kaagootaabaa album.
Spaceship Andy and John Kaagootaabaa ,did this podcast from Washington State and North Carolina ,one of 'em in each state.Lots of funny discussion ,not much music ,and barely a mention of Whitney Houston ,except to note that she's dead ,and deserves to be so.A great new project ,let's hope it continues on in to the future! Viva la Fuck Twins!!!
Dylan & John ,from Florida & North Carolina ,respectively ,each do a 10 minute or so, piece of "music". Nice noisy stuff ,to get your blood (or fists) pumping. HG plays a feedback-laden blur of overmodulated shitcore. Kaagoo is mellow ,comparatively ,running thru a digital delay ,and espousing sentiments for your ears only! Recorded Nov./Dec. 2011 ,on Lady Anthrophagus Unincorporated ,in a ltd edition of 30 .Two great one-man-bands ,that sound great together on this split. My wish is to do splits with each of these guys and ICSSH ,and Frank Goshit ,and all these other new noise/shitcore dudes! Music that makes you think........

We've seen ,and heard ,John from Kaagootaabaa ,grow over the succesion of tapes he's been recording since last year. On this all-new ,2 disc set (with a whopping 85 cuts!) ,I was reminded several times of the Royal Trux double-LP masterwork ,"Twin Infinitives" ,and I must say , that this Kaagootaabaa release is the best yet. Recorded over Nov-Dec 2011 ,it sounds as if doing that split with Skindust a while back ,rubbed off on John a little.Pitting pensive ,moody acoustic guitar pieces ,against brutal and sometimes harsh noise pieces,and mixing in some power electronics sounding shit,along with inane vocalizing , is a winning combination on this recording. Split into 2 discs ,the first is, "Songs Of Love And Dance" , is back and forth every other song switching from mellow guitar instumentals ,to ear-blasting slabs of mindless noise. With an obligatory GG Allin cover song. Disc 2 ,"Songs Of Fun" ,include more of the hilarious song titlings ,as the first disc did, and features Dr. Bad Touch on keys ,on one number. Yes, John's come a long way in a short amount of time. Look for Kaagootaabaa on upcoming splits with like-minded artists. A whole lot of Kaagoo ,to take in all at once ,maybe too much fore some,but well worth it! This is the masterpiece John will have to live up to ,and follow-up with something even wilder!(if that's at all possible , I don't see how!)
Sluggisha has been all over the web in recent months. Here are some important links from followers and haters!
A split from 2 of Sluggisha's newest artists! The heaviest stuff yet from Spaceship Andy & Frank Silverberg (Skindust) ,in Seattle,WA ,as well as extreme killing from John (Kaagootaabaa) in North Carolina! If weirdo noise is your game , these are your boys! Another fine product from the Sluggisha line of recordings. John also made a video (see below) for track # 23 ,"Give Me The Phone". Look for more from both of these great bands in the future ,right here!
