Dirty sleazy disco, not disco, and punk funk meets full-on disco and her mate house in your front room and gets messy. This came out last year, but in Homer Simpson's words "it's my first day." Anyway, this is the perfect mix CD for those times when you've got all your mates together and you've just realised- Oh shoot. There's a severe musical divide within the room.
You have the hipsters in the corner hanging out drinking PBR in skinny black jeans and Converse, you have the beautiful peoples disappearing and reappearing every 25 minutes or so, you have people who just like to dance, all of them are music snobs and you're stuck in the middle desperately trying to prove that you can do this. What do you do? Well. the Glimmers can save your neck/bacon/reputation as the person who can unite everyone and get them dancing and snogging. This is deep, spacey, sleazy, fun, and ultimately will be the CD you play when you want to cop off with someone. There's plenty of chances for flirty dancing and for generally getting the boys and girls enjoying themselves.
Stand out tracks:
The Glimmers "cassette" this is fantastic, noisy, dirty, punk funk that you cannot help but want to jump around to. Think Blondie gone modern but without Debbie Harry and more electronic noises. So basically just the drum sounds from that era with acid house squelches and bass.
Hamilton Bohannon "groove machine/boogie train." The Idjut boys re-rubbed this and made it a little spacier with more echo. But with Bohannon you know it's gonna be a groove, and oh my gosh. If there aren't people clapping hands, pretending they're the rhythm guitarist and smiling when this is playing then there's no hope for the world.
Ragtyme "Fix it Man" I have the feeling that there might be some innuendo in this song. "see me with my tool in my hand". He talks about unclogging drains and loosening nuts. I'm not sure, but I don't think he's really a repair man. Again, if there is nobody smiling and singing "I'm the fix it man" there's no hope. Stop the CD and ask everyone to leave.
