The Weird Love Makers
Monday, 27 July 2009 10:37
The Weird Love Makers was a band spanning most of the 1990's with The ECC's TradeMark Gunderson collaborating with Jeff Central / Chenault and Greg Fernandez (Good Cue Sign, Sex Musicians). Their music was erectronica -- electronica + erection+ exotica -- instrumental (no vocals), largely improvised, and heavily influenced by Tipsy. TradeMark would create the core rhythms mixing sampled lounge loops heavily stolen from Enoch Light and Command Records, with Jeff triggering various additional samples and Greg playing the craziest mess of record loops (with a salt shaker riding the record to keep it looping!) and cassette tape loops on a thrift-store's-worth of mutilated old stereos.
Oh, and where does the "Weird Love" come in? For one thing, we would read excerpts from the Psychopathia Sexualis between songs. And for another, Jeff and Greg's previous band was the Sex Musicians.
Although we put out a self-titled debut album on cassette, we somehow avoided getting out a release of our later material, which added electronic beats and longer/better loops from the sampler I upgraded to. Here's four tracks I MP3'd back in 2001 from an even older live show recording (unknown date/venue).

Boy Scout In The Everglades (5:40)
-
Bubbly Good Time (3:34)

Humping Henry (3:41)
-
Quiet Spillage (4:13)
And here's a full concert recording of a show sharing a bill with Jack Neat (which we thought was "Jack Meat"... we are the Weird Love Makers, after all) at Stache's, a Columbus Ohio night club that later became Little Brothers before closing permanently in 2008.

This show was one of our larger ones, and I recall for this show that we dragged the bright green comfy chair and floor lamp to the show from my living room, so I could read those excerpts while seated comfortably. Wearing a fez. Actually I think we all wore fezzes. We often did.
Although I only stumbled across the DAT tape of the above concert recently, I've had a recording for years of a radio interview we did a few hours before the concert -- first half is Weird Love Makers, second is about our Party Like It's Only $19.99 compilation album:

Monday, 11 May 2009 12:06
Hopefully you were one of the 1,000+ people that showed up for Bootie and The Evolution Control Committee -- it was one spectacular show! The Wheel Of Mashup spun well, our VidiMasher 3000 operated nicely, and thanks especially to The ECC's dancers The Mashettes! Thanks also to A plus D for having us once again to Bootie, and to Dannie for wheel work.
You can relive this show with the magic of MP3s, thanks to DNA Lounge recording and posting MP3s of every show they do, available for two weeks following the show date. If you want a recording of the whole night, which also includes music from Tim Barsky, the human beat box, Adrian and Mysterious D and more, listen at DNA Lounge's archive (until 23-May-09). Otherwise, listen/download just the ECC's show here:

That sure was a swell interview we did on DJ Marcelle's Another Nice Mess show on DFM Radio International. Missed it? Lucky you, we decided to post this archive of the show.

All Your Base karaoke party
Saturday, 21 March 2009 13:27
A long time ago, a meme was born. It was no ordinary meme -- no, this meme was destined to be legendary. Destined for grand things, destined for the history books. And this meme was known as... "All Your Base Are Belong To Us".
Always ones to join a bandwagon, The Evolution Control Committee chimed in with gusto. And so it was that a frenzied night of karaoke hunting and excessive drinking led to this -- seven well-known pop karaoke instrumentals with The ECC's TradeMark G. singing on top. Except that all of the lyrics have been replaced by the All Your Base wordage.
It's complete madness, totally absurd. And it's been one of our most popular downloads for years.
And we just realized that when the website was updated in 2008, the karaoke's weren't carried over. Tragedy! But easily solved:
Song Title: "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"
As performed by...
The ECCnirvana |
|
The ECCjohndenver | |
The ECCbillyjoelpianoman | |
The ECCbillyjoel | |
The ECCelvis | |
The ECCdoors | |
The ECCbeatles |
BONUS: One guy liked the ECCnirvana version so much he made a YouTube video of it... with, uh, a slideshow of unrelated anime stills:
EXTRA BONUS: A very clever DJ Empirical created a dictionaraoke track of The ECCjohndenver karaoke version... Memes. Meta. Parodies of parodies. We are echoes of other echoes...
