A beautiful thing just happenned...

I was listening to Porno by Opera Dog AKA Clinker and i went onto the Clinker website to get some more details to facilitate this review. I remembered that when I'd downloaded this LP for free from the site, there was some blurb about how Porno was a general stab at political correctness, and I wanted to quote it exact...

So, I got onto the site and navigated my way to the page and the built in audio player kicked in and beat matched the version of Porno I was already playing off the hard drive

It was flawless, absolutely flawless...

So enough metaphysical mystical magical bullshit - How is this LP?

Well one thing i like in life is a positive response. I therefire like bands and acts that have responded to the mp3 death of royalties thing by giving away their music for free.

Yes boss, despite all that's said, I can't but help but think that Myspace, Napster et all has done nothing but further denigrate the cash flow to proper musical cleverness...

Sure, Myspazz allows any half cut cunt to have 100,00 friends and 200,000 plays but what's so damn good about that???

Myspace is a hustlers charter. If you hustle and bustle attention, you get attention no matter the size of your talent. If you're the reclusive genius type, you're position remains the same as before at best, and most likely worse because such folk don't hustle that well as a general rule and their genuine talent is greater submerged by all the crap..

So, like i was saying, the good guys can get sad and down about this or they can think "FUCK THE WORLD AND THE MYSPACE REVOLUTION!!! I'M STILL GOING TO PRODUCE MY DAMN MUSIC AND NOW I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY!!!'

This is genius, and this is what Clinker have done. They've uploaded their old material in full onto their website from where you can download the whole diversity of their LPs for free...

It's the kind of attitude that solicits immediate love, and when the LPs are wonderful as well, I get more excited..

Yes boss, Porno is a very decent piece of work. It's a proper mix up. There's plenty of chugging along in a kind of rhythmic shuffle. There's dub and groove and samples. Then there's the changes of direction and pace. It drifts off into thought musation land, then returns to punchy along - and yes, it offers the odd porno sample in order to shuft the feeling..

So, I like this a great deal and am now moving on to download further LPs.

Meanwhile, Viva Opera Dog Viva Clinker and Viva music for love not money!!

(Oh, and here's the quote...)

It's more about this PC shit, than 'Porno' In my heart anyway. I didn't like being told to think. I have my own mind thank you!
Porno is a product of that...
