Welcome to 2005. I have finished 2004. And that certainly ended with a bang. A lot of stuff happening here. The final Fluffy Porcupine song was in this lot. They would debut Sockpuppet in 2006. This section would be where I would run down little cool bits like Jute Gyte and Puce (Max Bombast) collaborating as Children of God; Grumpy Mike debuting as Manhattan Glutton, or how this is where Lindsay of the BeWells debuted but I really wanna talk about the oddity.
Oddity: There was some quirky stuff in this lot for sure, like the song by Robot Tarzan which is just a Danish pop song backwards for no apparant reason. But I wanna talk about a weird trend from this time and I guess Jim of Seattle spearheaded it. You had Songfight Orchestra and Ants (Invisible) and both of them existed to make short song bits that if you listened to them all in a row would create one giant piece. Ants was just JoS trying this out solo and you can see where it flowed between "The Wrong Girl" and "Fell Out of the Sky". Essentially he made a two minute song called "the Wrong Girl Fell Out of the Sky". SFO used a revolving door of artists to attempt the same thing. Now in hindsight, you can listen to the finished products and they are wildly disjointed things. The flow never really appeared. interesting idea though.
