"In Sri Lanka, the Yakka is an unseen spirit that causes mental and physical illness.

In a dusk to dawn ceremony, the community dances into a trance like state,

a healer finally gets the sufferer to laugh at the Yakka -

leading to the catharsis of laughing at one's own demons"

There doesn't seem to  be a name for the sort of music I like.

For someone who purports to love punk, I really hate punk.

Boring 4 chord rants. Musical / lyrical cliches.

Gigs where the acts just wanted to sound like their favourite band without bringing anything to the table.

Don't even get me started on hardcore ... all those rosy-cheeked kids from the suburbs

screaming about injustice. Do me a favour.

 

Maybe the fact that so few people 'get it' makes the good stuff the ultimate soundtrack to surrealism.

At its height, Punk and New Wave seemed to produce a new genre of music every month or so.

Experimentation, smartness and sounding like yourself ...

 

I heard At the Drive-In's 'Invalid letter dept.' on the radio in 2001 and was sold straight away.

It was great to hear a band who played with real passion and

the dadaist cut-up lyrics were just an added bonus.

I saw  The Mars Volta a few years later in Brixton

and was inspired by the new direction they had taken.

The 1990s had been a bit of a desert for us lovers of intelligent,

inventive music - just the odd ray of light ... like Ween and Butthole surfers.

 

 

This first song always makes me think of Manchester ... it's a long story.
