Karyn Hay (ex-Radio With Pictures) presents a 6 part podcast on the history of Flying Nun.

One of the great Rock ‘n’ Roll stories, full of big personalities, high ideals, opportunities both seized and lost, and a soundtrack to die for because, in the end, (as in the beginning) Flying Nun is all about the music.

And here is the link to the iTunes preview. Got that.

The Secrets Of Sin - Cairo Knife Fight

I’m just going to keep posting Cairo Knife Fight until people actually watch these clips and then bow down in awe at their sonic onslaught. As POP! Stereo said:  This is well-practiced recklessness at it’s best, and Cairo Knife Fight know just how far to push it before reigning in the assault.  We suspect though at some point it’s all going to go horribly wrong and some sort of mega-apocalyptic scenario involving power chords and drums will be unleashed.  Prepare yourself now…

And that’s why the small little people are waving at the Dalek  because they are so amazed to see these giant stainless steel puppies  coming out of the Dalek arms instead of a hail of bullets or laser beams  … Power.Client: Whatever.
