gay monkeys and badges

hell.o
i get all manner of stuff in my inbox. some of it wanted. some of it no so. but, when i recently received some spam about an artist called melnyk into an unpublished email account, i was somewhat miffed. naturally, i responded. in return the swedish based label, named gaymonkeys records of course, have sent me a copy of their new album by the artist, 'silence'.
24 hours after having played the album solidly, i can reveal that 'silence' by melnyk is gorgeous electro-pop of the highest order with sonic references to pet shop boys, human league, depeche mode etc. a full review will appear in the appropriate place in a few days.
oh, and just so you know, melnyk is to appear at madame jojo's sometime this week, along with black strobe, if that kinda place is on your rounds.
so there you go : spam can work.
so now it's my turn. want some funky badges? hassle this bloke : cultural treachery
he's an earl brutus fan, and for that alone he deserves your money.
crack'on
